Most people do a little decorating for the holidays, but for Bunny Williams it’s a major undertaking. Ms. Williams, the Manhattan interior designer, likes to focus on the mantelpiece — or in the case of her Connecticut house, which has five fireplaces, all five mantels. 每逢节假日,大多数人都会在自己家里稍作布置,但对于邦妮·威廉姆斯(Bunny Williams)来说,这就是一项大工程了。威廉姆斯在曼哈顿做室内设计师,喜欢在壁炉架上下功夫。她在康涅狄格州(Connecticut)的别墅里有五座壁炉,也就有五处壁炉架可供她打理。 “I have things on the mantel that I love,” said Ms. Williams, 70, who recently designed a line of stone fireplace surrounds for the British company Chesney’s. “But at holiday time, I take it all off and start over again. Every year, I try to incorporate something different while using some of my old favorite things.” “我会把自己喜欢的东西放在壁炉架上,”威廉姆斯说。她现年70岁,最近为英国奢侈壁炉品牌Chesney’s设计了一款石砌壁炉架。“但是在节假日里,我会把它们都拿下来,重新布置。每年我都会试着融入一些新东西,同时搭配一些我最喜欢的旧物件。” There are conflicting schools of thought on how to go about creating a composition. “Some people are very symmetrical; some people are not,” Ms. Williams said. |
