About this product

Product Information

My whole life, in a sense, has been a search for beauty . . . For nearly five decades Barbra Streisand has been one of the singular figures in American entertainment. From the cabaret to the Broadway stage, from television and film stardom to her acclaimed work as a director, from the recording studio to the concert hall, she has demonstrated that the extraordinary voice that launched her career was only one of her remarkable gifts. Now, in her first book, Barbra reveals another aspect of her talent- the taste and style that have inspired her beautiful homes and collections. My Passion for Design is her account of creation and construction of her newest home-the dream refuge she has longed for since the days when she shared a small Brooklyn apartment with her mother, brother, and grandparents, and a culmination and reflection of her love of American architecture and design from the 18th ti the 20th centuries. Whether she is seeking an elusive shade of blue for the panelling in a Federal lounge, tracking down a contemporary woodworker who was able to recreate the exquisite Greene & Greene style, or choosing the roses to harmonize with both the interior and exterior of a given room, Barbra's perseverance and attention to detail are remarkable-and remarkably engaging. She is a wonderfully witty storyteller as well as a knowledgeable and charming guide. My Passion for Design contains not only Barbra's own photographs of the rooms she has decorated, the furniture and art she has collected, and the ravishing gardens she has planted on her land on the California coast, but memories of her childhood, and insights into the development of her own sense of style. The millions of fans who have cherished her voice as a singer will find that she has an equally inimitable and compelling voice as a writer. Here is a rare and intimate private tour of the world of one of our most beloved stars, which will be welcomed by her fans and all lovers of the great achievements of American design.

    VERY interesting from an architectural, design, and creative perspective PLUS insights into the personal life of Barbara Streisand! We loved it!

    This book was VERY interesting from architectural, design, and creative perspective PLUS it was insightful into the private life of Barbara Streisand. The photographs are rich, the descriptions thorough, the storyline compelling. We enjoyed the book so much that we purchased 3 more copies as gifts for friends who are designers!

    Beautiful Book

    LOVE this book. Beautiful photographs and great size for my coffee table. It doesn't hurt that I am a Barbara fan but this book would be a good design book for those that aren't. There are even fold out pages so you can see the front and back of the house in it's entirety. I am a designer and I really enjoyed seeing the spaces each dedicated to a different period in time.

    A beautiful design book.

    The ideas Barbra comes up with and why are explained. It’s wonderful to see her finished home with two outdoor looks. Everything from her movie awards, singing as well. To the antiques she used in her home. Many of us probably have things just like she has and can see how she applied it in her home. Well worth having.

    Best of the Best books on interior design.

    This is by far the best book on interior design I have ever owned and I own the best. I have many of my own pieces featured in various books. No book on interior design is better than this one. This is the very best book on interior design there is. A must have for anyone interested in beautiful homes.

    Beautifully photographed book

    The book is beautifully written and photographed. The attention to detail that it is truly a feast for the eyes. You immerse yourself in each and every room that Barbra has envisioned and decorated.
