I first got the idea to write these little posts about writers' homes from a pair of posts I saw on Houzz. Edith Wharton co-wrote design and garden books in addition to her engaging novels (like
The Age of Innocence, which I wrote about
here) and put many of her design sensibilities into play in the home she had built in 1902. It was also the site of the composition of a number of her novels. The interior of the home is incredible and worth taking a
look, but I would love to spend a few hours traipsing about the
grounds outside and exploring the sunken secret garden...
Images link to their pins, where I've collected a few more and linked back to the original source.

Thank you for your thoughts!
Anything interesting will be shared, but snarkiness, irrelevance, and spam will shortly disappear, so please avoid them! I do prefer being nice.
Have a beautiful and lovely day!
