Flea market is the place where you can almost find anything. From furniture pieces, to second hand accessories, clothing, garage equipments, and the possibilities are entirely endless. Designers who follow a Shabby Chic design theme usually scour these places to find the best pieces that could go well with her interior without sacrificing the budget. Flea markets are a haven of second hand goodies and bargain decors.
A beat-up old chair could have new life and meaning by giving it a fresh coat of paint. Funky and chic wall paper can be wrapped on a piece of wood purchased from a flea market that should add character to a bedroom when used as a headboard. Add flair and change the look of an old armoire by exchanging the knobs to hand painted wooden knobs.
An old piece of door can serve as a charming decorative piece in a living room, simply coat with another layer of fresh paint or in this case wood stain. The door can be an excellent conversational piece and a good focal point when it is simply leaned on a living room wall. The natural wood color from the stain can blend well to the Asian theme youve been planning for your home. Accent with wicker furniture, lamps and other small accessories from the flea market and you can have a redecorated room with fewer expenses.
Since it is almost Spring time, this season can be an advisable design concept for your bedroom. Pretty floral fabrics from flea market that had otherwise been labeled as outdated can make a charming comeback in your bed sheets. Accent it with a small reading chair upholstered with gauzy floral fabric and citrus colored pillows. Adorn your night table with fresh spring time flowers and crisp white translucent curtains for your windows. What a refreshing room to wake up with indeed!
