A Review: Interior Designer - Bunny Williams Love Affair with Houses & Tour of Home Built in 1785
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лис 2024
- “In this story-filled monograph, Bunny Williams presents new work through 15 houses she has decorated and loved.
Bunny tells the tale of each “affair,” tracing the style of the spaces, what drew her to the projects, and her approach to decor that evolves with the lives of her clients. Her chapters include:
Weekend Retreat
A View of the Sea
The Penthouse
Southern Charm
Pied-à-Terre
East Side Town House
Georgian Stone House
New York Duplex
Florida Style
French Farmhouse
And more!
She offers personal secrets for choosing classics-and for decorating with flexible pieces that can play more than one role in a design scheme. Along the way, she offers many amazingly chic, but always comfortable, residences whose interiors she has designed during the latest phase of her astounding career.
Bunny writes of her work, “It still thrills me that every new project is like a new romance. There is the initial getting-to-know-you phase, the discovery of how people live, what their dreams are, what inspires them-such critical information as we begin the designing process. Each stage has its exciting moments as well as its anxious ones.” She knows, as you will, that there is excitement and frustration when working with architects, hunting for just the right piece to finish a room, and then letting go and just enjoying the finished work.”

Aren't we all thankful that Bunny Williams never grows tired of what she does? A great book review from someone who loves what she does. Thanks Mary for this inspiring time well spent with you and Bunny!
@@MourieAnnFeeney I agree! It’s nice to know we have her, and through her we have a direct connection to Parish-Hadley!
@@thetartantopiary Yes. Amen, amen ~
I'm a wallpaper girl and found the wallpaper in Bunny's book stunning. Thank you for sharing. I also enjoyed the tour. As a landscape painter, I am grateful that I have nontoxic options to choose from. I imagine that a lot of artists suffered physically in the past.
Love Bunny's traditional style and her gifted use of paint colors and fabric. The mirrors each home are spectacular!
Now you have my attention. Bunny Williams one of the best, and always ready with wonderful advice.
@@shirleystarling7300 I love her designs for many reasons, but I think I really enjoy the fact that she credits most of her education to Sister Parrish and Albert Hadley.
The book amazing. Loved the tour
Bunny Williams is a favorite of mine. A true Queen.
The absolute best! Bunny Williams will always be the best in my opinion! God bless, John 3:16
@@kaylamson5161 I met her once at a book signing, and she seemed as kind as she is talented.
I love Bunny Williams, her designs are comfortable and beautiful. The historic home tour and your accompanying history is wonderful. Thank you for sharing both these beautiful things.
@@karenhuerter343 You are certainly welcome, thank you for watching!
Omg!!!!
What a treat. Just got back from vacation a few days ago To find out that there’s a massive monster heading our way towards Tallahassee. I’ve been talking down my museum/home trying to protect my treasures.
And I just had to stop before I go crazy. Grab my phone and there, was this awesome beautiful video.
Thank you so much for the distraction. It was needed badly. I hope it doesn’t turn into a cat5 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
See you next week.❤
Dear Mary!!! I don't recall how I found your channel but I am so very happy that I did!! You have the loveliest voice. I have always enjoyed decorating my living spaces and find great joy in doing so. Thank you for sharing Bunny's gorgeous interiors. She is so very talented. You also have a gorgeous home!!! It is obvious that you have an eye for beauty and comfort!!!
@@JulesG-xu2vw I appreciate that very much. I’m glad you found the channel. Thanks for letting me know.
Nicolas Fairford....you recommended him and I adore him. Thank you.
I’m sure Daniel’s mouth was watering at the thought of oyster ice cream!
@@s.barlow7062 Wow- you would be correct! That’s the first thing he said. I, on the other hand, was immediately repulsed.
That furniture is beautiful. So nicely preserved thank goodness. Thanks for sharing the tour.
I was looking forward to this. Love Bunny Williams, and I think you're pretty great too, Mary. Thank you!
@@laurapeck9199 Well, I certainly appreciate that.🥰
Hello Mary and Thank you for this interesting tour. I love Bunny Williams work. She is so down to earth and I love her use of color. Have a wonderful week and I will see you in the next one! Hugs :)
@@lindaortolano7837 You are certainly welcome, thanks for watching. I agree with you on your opinion of Bunny Williams! Have a great week also, hugs in return.
HI Mary , hope you and Daniel is doing well ! Who doesn't love Bunny!? she has amazing style. Thank you for the historical home tour .. I truly enjoy seeing the past and if walls could talk!! Have a joyful weekend , Paula
@@PaulaShoaf Thank you, for taking the time to join me and for your comment. I hope you have a great weekend as well.
Mary, thank you for sharing. My namesake 🙏🏾❤️
There used to be a TV programme many years ago here in Australia where a panel of antique dealers etc, would try to guess what some very odd arcane objects from the past were, and what their use was. When I saw that unusual wooden cradle on the side board, I immediately wondered what it was for. I never figured it for a giant cheese wheel holder😮. Thank you for an educational tour of those historic Mordecai buildings.
I was looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint. Of course they never do. Thank you, Mary.🌸🌺🌼
@@dorislong9420 I really appreciate that!
Love Bunny , was so lucky to buy chinoiserie tea caddy from John when he and Bunny moved into her house in New York. I purchased it from Stair Auction and it is one of my favorite possessions. The ochre house makes me tingle, so gorgeous . Thanks Mary, love as always .
Love bunny williams, she is one of my favorite designers.
So relaxing your video’s. Thanx for Making us a part of your love for design.🥰
@@rinskeraphael8755 Thanks for joining me in that love for design!
All of Bunny Williams' interiors have such warmth, no matter how elegant they are, and never look "tortured," as Robert Kime, my idol, would say of some overly decorated interiors. I think I've committed to painting my studio a deep golden yellow, and thanks for your input. It faces east, so in the morning it might be a bit much, but I hate mornings, that's when it's time to go to bed, so I'll never see it then. I agree, the chaise longue in the Mordecai home is a thing of beauty.
Thank you! I always enjoy your videos!!
Thank you Mary! Delightful video. Bunny Williams is my all time favorite Designer and I love looking at everything she does, as it is so beautiful. I really like oysters and had them fresh in Washington state where I am from, however, I am thinking not in ice cream!!! I noticed your pause when you said “oysters in ice cream” you let us think about that for a moment 😮. I so look forward to your videos. I make a fresh coffee, relax and enjoy your videos. Thank you so much!❤
So interesting - love the history and Bunny is a national treasure - thank you for yet another lovely review and house tour ❤❤❤
Thank you for the tour, loved it.
@@glendalafont1561 It was a lot of fun. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 💕
Lovely book choice this week. Even a brief glimpse of the delightful photography provided inspiration. Certainly a book for the shopping list. Wasn’t that yellow ochre house stunning? I am however drawn to the green cabin and can’t help wondering how another certain green cabin is settling into its surroundings. Thankfully arsenic is no longer used in paint production….. lucky for Daniel. While in the throes of a fit of the vapours during the construction it would have been all to easy to don a pair of Victorian lace gloves, scrape off a few flecks of paint and secret them in his greens for dinner.
I know you have a life outside these videos, but I sure do wish you could produce one a day. They are such a joy for me. And for me, there are the three: Bunny Williams, Nina Campbell, and Charlotte Moss. Oh and Timothy Corrigan.
Another lovely video Mary . I do look forward to Fridays and your wonderful book reviews. Bunny Williams , she is just it, isn’t she? Such a talented designer whose story of how she grew into the business of design is just as beautiful and thrilling as her designs. Thank you for the historic tour of these homes. How interesting about the paint colors. What great insight his grand niece had to invest and ultimately preserve her family’s home and heritage. Have a great week!
William Nichols was also the architect of our governor's mansion and old capitol here in Mississippi. He also designed the Lyceum at Ole Miss.
Thank you for not sharing Oyster ice cream recipe 😊. I can’t believe anyone back then would actually eat that 😮
Bunny William...Great! Thank you, Mary..
0:27. S in Williams.
Mary, would you consider reviewing Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury?
I’m trying to find the video that you order the roses that last a long time????

Thank you for the content!! All we need is the right advice on how to invest in crypto and we will be set for life, I made over a million dollars from trading this year regardless of the market conditions😊
@@MathewGray-r5t maybe with that million dollars that you made, you could donate a book to my channel!
