I think you always feel a certain connection with your favorite writers, and I feel a particular kinship with Edith Wharton. Besides being an accomplished novelist and chronicler of Gilded Age New York, she was also passionately interested in decorating. In fact, her very first book was about decorating, and she once described herself as "a better landscape gardener than novelist". Wharton's pièces de résistance was The Mount, the Massachusetts country home that she designed herself, and where she lived and wrote from 1902 to 1911.
