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. Average Rating:

I happened to be in the library and noticed Point Of View there, so I decided to check it out before ordering from Amazon. It was sheer luck that I was able to look through and read this book before purchasing it! I so wanted to like this book but it was very disappointing to me. There ...

Rating: - Bunny's view is exceptionalBunny Williams has a great eye and this book is chalk full of great photos. Great inspiration for any designer. Rating:  - A let-downBunny Williams is a significant figure in the realm of interior design, a distinguished apostle of a style that she learned from Sister Parish; and Williams' prior book AN AFFAIR WITH A HOUSE was tremendously inspirational to homeowners of both the aristocracy and the bourgeousie. Much was expected of this new book POINT OF VIEW, and while there are things to be learned from a close reading of the text, the dark photographs detract and indeed render the book less significant than it could have been. ...
