Drew Barrymore never ceases to amaze us.

Her acting career is very much alive and thriving, she has terrific fashion sense, an eco-conscious beauty line, a booming wine company—and of course, terrific taste in interior design, too!

The star is currently a featured tastemaker on One King’s Lane, where online shoppers have their pick from very cool pieces owned by Barrymore herself, with a portion of the sales benefitting DonorsChoose.org.

The items, which include quirky vintage typewriters, floral chairs, girly chandeliers, patterned glasses, retro telephones and modular furniture, are playful, eclectic and full of personality.

Needless to say each and every item is unique and intriguing and totally resonates with the actress’s charming aesthetic.

Not surprisingly, just about everything (and we mean everything) sold out in no time at all, which simply goes to show that she totally knows what she’s doing when it comes to decorating.

Her secret to creating an inviting space that’s equally stylish?

“Keep moving stuff around until you find the right spot. You’ll know it when you find it. I’ll spend hours moving a chair or a painting from room to room. Something you bought for the living room may end up being brilliant in your bedroom,” she tells the site.

And while she clearly has an eye for pretty pieces, when it comes to important essentials for the home, Barrymore proves that she definitely has a practical side.

“If you have an eat-in kitchen, I love a banquette! No matter how inviting I try to make every other room of the house, everyone gravitates to the kitchen banquette,” she says. “P.S. Pick a fabric that won’t make you want to murder someone if they spill something,” she adds smartly.

Drew, you’re a genius.

You may know that Drew has a talent for photography. Well she is publishing a book of her photographs. The book will be available in January.

Drew Barrymore is upping her photography cred.

E! News has exclusively learned that the Grey Gardens star will release her first book of photos, Find It in Everything, on Jan. 14 (Amazon presale begins today.)

The 96-page book will be a collection of photos of heart-shaped objects that Barrymore has shot over the course of the last 10 years.

“I have always loved hearts,” Barrymore says. “The way that one continuous line accomplishes the most extraordinary thing—it conveys love. Hearts are my beacons. I love them man-made and natural, young and old.

“Whenever and wherever I see the heart shape, a smile spreads across my face. The heart has an unbeatable romance when you discover one where you least expect it.”

Some of the images in the Little, Brown and Company book include a discarded straw wrapper, a hole in a T-shirt and a scallion in a bowl of miso soup.

Barrymore, who joined Twitter just yesterday, has had her photography exhibited at the International Center of Photography in New York City. Just last year she shot Shailene Woodley, Victoria Justice and Isabelle Fuhrman for V magazine and Charlotte Gainsbourg in a campaign for a Tommy Hilfiger handbag benefiting Breast Health International.
