From the Inside Flap
Fun. That's the best word to describe flea market style - the art of furnishing and decorating your home using found objects.
In this new book by Jerri Farris and Tim Himsel, you'll find hundreds of ideas - some outrageous, some quietly ingenious, but all of them unique. And you'll find directions for nearly two dozen step-by-step projects, using salvaged items that are widely available.
Flea market style is unlike any other way of decorating. With most styles, the final room is the reward, but as you begin to practice flea market style, you'll quickly find that the real fun lies in seeking cast-off treasure and transforming it. Jerri suggests tips and strategies that will help you search flea markets and other sources for valuable but overlooked treasures and then adapt them to new roles that produce an atmosphere of creative surprise and gentle humor.
Reader Reviews
The authors go beyond just dragging home shabby chic pieces from the flea market. They include projects to expand the usefulness of odd pieces. The end results are quite handsome and of course, unique. One project attaches tin ceiling tiles to a plywood frame to make a stunning storage box or plant holder. Another project transforms a mirror frame with fabric and crisscrossed ribbons to create a lovely bulletin board. They show how to line an old painted cupboard or armoire with fabric without permanently altering the interior. The large photos throughout show the pieces fitted into a room and artfully accessorized. Inspiring. Some projects require some sewing or carpentry ability, but others require little skill.
