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
This book has several creative, clever and practical decorating ideas and projects that I have not seen in any other book. For me the decorating ideas have to have a function; it is not enough to just look nice and take up space. I hope the authors write a sequel with even more ideas!
