[ Point of View] [ An Affair with a House] [ On Garden Style ]
 

For almost 30 years Bunny Williams, the celebrated interior designer, has been having a passionate affair with an 18th-century New England House. From the moment she walked up the driveway it was love at first site, even though the property was in sad shape. In An Affair with a House, the respected decorator describes how she and her husband, antiques dealer John Rosselli, restored the well-worn house room by room, resurrected its abandoned gardens, and filled the place with family and friends. Through photographs, anecdotes, how-tos and recipes, Williams offers a rare inside look at a top decorator's weekend retreat and shares her approach to the joys, challenges, obstacles, and day-to-day realities of creating a beautiful, comfortable country home.
