"A new marriage, a new house - the need to fill rooms and create a home. This was the challenge Leslie Anne Miller and her husband, Richard Worley, faced in 1987. The granddaughter and daughter of collectors, Miller envisioned her new residence as a showcase for the Pennsylvania antiques and art she knew and loved. Once her husband began to understand the potential for mixing the old and the new, the two embarked on a journey that continues today. Start With a House, Finish With a Collection traces Miller's path as she and Worley transitioned from buying furnishings they needed to creating, living with and loving ever-expanding collections. Beautifully illustrated with photographs by Gavin Ashworth and supplemented with a rich compendium of selecet works from the collection by Alexandra Alevizatos Kirtley, the books is unique. It is a hybrid - a story of collecting, design and scholarship - that should inspire interest among collectors old and new." - dust jacker description.
