This is more than a design book - it’s a lifelong love story.
In An Affair with a House, Bunny Williams invites you into her New England manor, tracing its slow, thoughtful transformation over decades. Not a quick renovation, but something rarer -a home shaped over time, through instinct, care, and a deeply personal point of view. 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.
This anniversary edition feels as special as the story itself. Cloth-wrapped, ribbon-marked, made to be kept. Inside, a new chapter reveals how the house continues to evolve -because the best spaces never really stop becoming.
It’s filled with more than rooms. There are lessons here - how to host, how to make people feel at ease the moment they walk through the door. Recipes, rituals, small details that turn a house into something warmer, more human.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.
