An Affair with a House (Collector's Edition)

From one of America’s best-loved and most celebrated designers, a luxurious 20th-anniversary collector’s edition of the Bunny Williams interior design classic, updated to include a new introduction and chapter

This lovely gift-ready edition presents the original book plus a new introduction and chapter detailing how the house and its rooms have changed over the years—all presented in a sumptuous package featuring a new cover design with a “cloth-wrapped” exterior, a debossed foil title, faux-leather spine, and a satin ribbon marker.

Bunny Williams is renowned for creating classic decor that evolves over time and with the way people live and entertain in their homes. She published An Affair with a House in 2005, and it helped launch her into the top ranks of the interior design profession, where she has stylishly remained ever since.

Williams has been involved in a passionate love affair with her New England manor house for nearly half a century. From the moment she glimpsed it—in a state of sad disrepair—she knew she wanted to bring it back to glorious life. This is the process she famously details in An Affair with House, tracing her home’s evolution and her design philosophy.

Beloved by readers for being more than just a design monograph, the book addresses all sorts of practical matters in addition to decor, offering recipes for relaxed entertaining, advice on fitting out guest rooms (as well as stocking the pantry and linen closets), and thoughtful ideas for making family and friends feel welcome and at ease.

This much-anticipated anniversary edition will be eagerly celebrated by the design community and design lovers everywhere.
