Product Description
An Affair with a House continues to be a top seller for STC, with more than 45,000 copies in print
Shows readers how to realize their own taste and design preferences
You learn from people with great taste, says Bunny Williams. She should know. As a novice, Williams worked for legendary decorators Sister Parish and Albert Hadley, absorbing everything she could of their peerless design sense. Striking out on her own, she rose to the top rank of the interior design profession, where she has stylishly remained for the last 30 years. Now, its our turn to learn from her.
Part memoir and part how-to manual, Bunny Williams Point of View showcases many of the drop-dead chic but always cozily comfortable residences whose interiors Williams has designed during her astounding career. As Williams tells it, every design decision she makes is based on a bedrock principle: Knowing what you value is essential. Her conviction that every persons home should manifest their personality guides her as she creates environments that fit each client precisely, like a couture suit.
By showing you how to plan and then accomplish that plan for each room of your house, Williams inspires you to take account of your own valuesand to realize your personal vision of how you want to live. As she says about the book: My point of view will help you discover yours.

 Yummy! May 14, 2008
I love this book; it is really wonderful eye candy........I haven't read it from "cover to cover" as yet but I am afraid my daughter is going to abscond with it before I get my turn! Many of the accessories/furniture/fabrics are out of my reach, financially, but it's fun to look and dream.

This book is wonderful!
Bunny Williams is someone who will be studied as an iconic designer of her era.
No one who is interested in interior design should be without this.

This was a birthday treat for me and what a treat it is - a visual feast with great words and pictures...just a joy to own! Have read it from cover to cover but I just know it will become an "old friend" - dipped into forever! It is beautifully laid out and the personality and philosophy of Bunny shines on every page. Lovers of antiques, art and gracious warm interiors will adore each and every page.

Bunny Williams is not only a fabulous decorator and accomplished author, she is a warm and charming hostess. She made me right at home with her new book "Point of View". Filled with beautiful pictures it is true, but practical and applicable information can be gleaned in every chapter. She generously shares her experiences and knowledge with the reader, which are extensive to say the least. I will return for a visit often with "Point of View"
Best Decorating book Ever!! February 12, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Okay, to be honest I'm only halfway through it, but that is because this is the first one I have ever read every single word of, over and over! I'm trying to go slow and savor every section. As a middle-aged, middle-class woman with "more in my head than I have in my pocket" I have found this to be the best book ever! There are a couple of magazines that I love, but the homes are very grand and while I may get a few ideas, they lack practical advice for me. While this book has beautiful photos and many of rooms are pretty high-end, the advice she gives is applicable to every budget, so it is great for your first apartment or your dream home. It is like having a decorator to consult with because I have finally gotten answers to a few questions I've had for years. This book will save you time and money because it will save you from mistakes. The added bonus is that she shares enough of herself that you will feel like you have made an adorable new friend!!
