Flea Market Chic

<B>Bring texture, color and depth to your home and embrace sustainable living with vintage finds.</B><BR><BR>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, <I>Flea Market Chic</I> 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 trashcans that have been converted into fashionable zinc planters. In <I>Flea Market Chic</I>, 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.
