About the Book Step inside This Oak House , a thoughtfully renovated historic home in Los Angeles. What began as Annie Meyers-Shyer’s personal Instagram evolved into a trusted resource for candid renovation insight and refined design. In this book, with the foreword by design director (and mother) Nancy Meyers, she opens her for the first time—sharing original plans, sketches, mood boards, paint colors, and practical lessons learned—offering both inspiration and guidance for creating a timeless, livable home.
