A House by the Sea (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781419720819)

Author and renowned designer Bunny Williams has been at the top of the interior design world for more than 40 years. In House by the Sea, she invites readers to explore La Colina, her lovely Caribbean retreat tucked into lush, tropical gardens by the sea.

We knew we wanted a house where we would really live outside, a house where the ocean breezes would blow through, and a house that would be a place in which we could gather our friends and family and entertain easily.

House by the Sea explores every facet of the beautiful property located in the Punta Cana region in the Dominican Republic--from outdoor rooms and garden plantings and design to the delightful, island-living luxury of the villa's interiors, furnishings, and collections. Woven into each chapter are essays written by friends who have visited the property:

• Gil Schafer details the villa's architecture
• Page Dickey tours the gardens
• Roxana Robinson offers a peek at a weekend stay
• Angus Wilkie discusses the delights of collecting
• Jane Garmey revels in the pleasures of cooking, food, and friends

Let trailblazer and tastemaker Bunny Williams, a member of the Interior Design Hall of Fame, take you on a personal tour of this special home. In her introduction, she writes that her aim was to have this book "feel like a visit to our island retreat." You'll see in this lavish coffee table book filled with photographs, story, and advice that she succeeded.
