Description
Bring texture, colour and depth to your home and embrace sustainable living with vintage finds.
Flea-market finds are the perfect finishing touch to any interiors scheme. In modern rooms, a distressed chair or a vintage mirror bring much-needed character. And in traditional decorating schemes, faded textiles and mismatched china are all part of the charm. Of course, Flea Market Chic is about sustainable recycling, upcycling and repurposing. But it’s also about a sense of history and place, about individuality and creating a home that reflects your life and personality.
Every piece has a story: the colourful jug you found at a car boot fair, the vintage telephone that belonged to a favourite aunt, the little chair you found in a village junk shop or the old dustbins that have been converted into fashionable zinc planters. In Flea Market Chic, we’ll show you how to spot the clever find in a pile of junk, where to look and how to negotiate, how to smarten up (and when not to smarten up) second-hand items and how to reuse things you already have.
