For 28 years the world-renowned interior designer Bunny Williams has been involved in a passionate love affair with an18th-century New England manor house that she found in sad repair. From the moment she walked up the driveway and her palms began to perspire, Williams knew she wanted the affair to last forever. In her sumptuous new book, An Affair with a House, the venerable decorator describes in detail how she and her husband, antiques dealer John Rosselli, rescued, nurtured, renovated, and decorated the well-worn house, giving it new life as they restored each room, resurrected the abandoned gardens, and filled this weekend home with family and friends. Through photographs, anecdotes, how-tos, and recipes, Williams provides a rare inside look at a top decorator's retreat and explains how she approached the joys, pleasures, challenges, obstacles, and day-to-day realities of creating a beautiful, comfortable country home. An Affair with a House provides a wealth of advice on interior decor and such topics as mixing design styles, but it also addresses such practical matters as stocking the pantry and outfitting the linen closet. Beautiful photographs of the house, the gardens, and the property's rustic structures provide an intimate glimpse of the couple's lifestyle and illustrate a way of life we can all appreciate and learn from. |

Written on January 9, 2007 Summary: Gorgeous, rich and inspiring My sister, an avid collector with the incredible gift of using great taste to create a homey atmosphere, recommended this book and I can see why. The author's love of "home" permeates every stunning page. Those wanting a "how-to" book should look elsewhere; this is the book for "why-you-should". It teaches one of the biggest lessons one must learn when creating a home, that of patience. Of course, like any "affair", the object of affection will barely be tolerated by some. If you don't understand why you wax the legs of a chair with a hole in the arm, don't buy this book. If it's strange to you that someone is satisfied with a color that fits the room rather than matching the Pottery Barn palette, you'll be happier with a few copies of this month's decorating magazines. Otherwise, invite the dogs to curl up next to you while you slowly turn the pages, luxuriating in the lovely fun, at least vicariously, of knowing how you want to live and having the means to do it.  Written on October 22, 2006 Summary: Better than expected...there should be a 6 star category! I am a collector of reference books on home decorating and an avid gardener. This is a wonderful book that not only consists of warm and tasteful decorating ideas, but every detail including storage, floral arranging, table settings and fascinating yet practical gardens. Beautiful photography....every page was a delightful surprise. Thanks to Bunny Williams Written on August 18, 2006 Summary: Great book! This book is not only beautiful, but includes a great text! With helpful hints on everything, I refer to it on a daily basis. An Affair with a House is gracious, understated, and exquisitely tasteful!!!  Written on July 18, 2006 Summary: A visual beauty but... If you are not Donald Trump and your house is not Mara Lago you may be a tad dissapointed. I was expecting an affair w/ this book. According to the author, what every guest room needs is Egyptian cotton percale sheets w/ a 400 thread count. Ok..lol...shoot me...I buy my sheets at Target. I found the book a bit stuffy for my taste. Written on July 5, 2006 Summary: a special book, a special gift When I bought my new home in Italy I wished a book which could give me ideas for decorating the rooms in country style. I chose this by Bunny Williams and I am relly satisfacted because there are a lot of nice suggestion and beatifull pictures. An Affair with a house is a best book of mine from now on. |
