Country Home Restoration

An Affair with a House

An Affair with a House is so full of surprises it practically reads like a mystery novel. This large picture book tells the story of bringing an old country home back to life over a 30-year span. New York interior designer Bunny Williams goes room by room to explain how she and her antiques dealer husband revitalized the manor house, guesthouse, conservatory, barn, and gardens, and then added an unconventional pool and pool house. She strives for “harmony and balance” in her design work, but in the end mixes it up.
