Love Affairs with Houses by Bunny Williams
The redoubtable Bunny Williams, four decades in, continues to turn out both books and houses with enviable regularity. In this, her 6th such effort - not to be confused with An Affair with a House, which covers her own (notably handsome) home - she analyses 15 of her favourite decorative projects, ranging from the deceptively simple to the grandiose, with a chapter devoted to each.
A cursory inspection might tend to suggest the book is a prime example of self-promotion, pitched solely at the well-heeled. Not so. A deeper look reveals the art and science, as much as the thought processes, behind each undertaking, the latter distinctive, no two alike, and all scaleable-downable.
To the lay reader, such a tome may appear daunting - it is, after all, 300 pages long - but that would belie its usefulness. Replete with tips and caveats (her bold-face inserts are particularly a propos), this is not only an easy, but graceful read; and if, as your correspondent so often retorts to friends baffled by an entire wall of such books, a tome of this type yields a single, original idea to act on, it pays for the entire purchase.
