What makes a house feel like home? Annie Meyers-Shyer — the creator of the Instagram project @ThisOakHouse — talks to Emmy-winning chef Katie Lee Biegel about This Oak House, her beautiful and deeply practical new book that chronicles the years-long renovation of her family’s historic Los Angeles home.
What began as a personal Instagram project documenting the realities of restoring an old house grew into a community with hundreds of thousands of followers. In her new book, she shares the complete story for the first time, offering an intimate look at every stage of the process, from architect’s sketches, floor plans, and mood boards to construction challenges, finishing details, and the everyday choices that transform a house into a home. More than a stunning interiors book, This Oak House is an inspiring guide for anyone dreaming of their own renovation.
Hear Annie offer practical advice on everything from paint colors and lighting to kitchen layouts, styling bookshelves, and creating welcoming spaces that reflect the people who live in them — celebrating both the beauty and the hard work of preserving an older home while making it distinctly your own.
