Where do the pros go?

Every pro draws their inspiration from someone or something. My biggest source of inspiration comes from the renowned antique and interior expert, Judith Miller. She is the author of over 80 books and guides on interiors, antiques and collectibles!

Miller, like me, became interested in antiques and interiors by visiting junk shops and flea markets and picking up treasures for next to nothing. However, unlike me, she spent hours researching and attending antique fairs. All that diligent research paid off because now she is recognized as one of the world's leading experts in the field of antiques and interior styles.

Besides her successful antique price guides, Miller also appears on several television programs including: "The Antiques Roadshow" and "The House Detectives".

Her books, which are never far from arm's reach in my home, include: The Style Sourcebook, Styles and Colors, and Inspired Interiors. Each page is filled with wonderful photos, descriptions and explanations. They are timeless and serve as a valuable resource for me when relooking homes for people of all tastes and styles.

Judith also has a great blog for antique enthusiasts, check it out: http://www.millersantiquesguide.com/blog/
