Book Reviews of Bunny William's Point of View: Three Decades of Decorating Elegant and Comfortable Houses
Book Review: I loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the less-than-stellar reviews on here and decided not to buy the book. Well....during Christmas shopping, I saw the book at a bookstore and decided to take a peak. So I grabbed the book and found a comfy chair. Well, I'm glad I did. I bought the book and read it cover to cover.
I found it interesting to read how her childhood experiences led her to become a decorator. Her art classes taught her to see the "whole composition" and helped her to understand color and light; Her early job at an antique store helped to educate and train her eye; Tours of historic homes taught her about furniture arrangement and serve as a source for inspiration and art museums serve as the inspiration for color combinations.
This book also offers an interesting look at how she approaches a project, where she always starts, where she gets her inspiration and what guides her when making design choices.
While the homes in the book belong to the uber rich and many of her design choices are way beyond most peoples budget, the underlying message is to educate your eye to good design and create a comfortable home for the way you live.
I highly recommend it.

Summary of Bunny William's Point of View: Three Decades of Decorating Elegant and Comfortable Houses
An Affair with a House continues to be a top seller for STC, with more than 45,000 copies in printShows 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, it?s 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 person?s 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 values?and 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.?
