{ Ways to use Vintage & Flea Market Finds }

and I do mean "finds" - 

'cause sometimes they're just sittin' 

on the side of the road.

Here's some ways you can bring flea market style

into your home.

First, you could buy the magazine - 

which I highly recommend, and I'm not getting paid to say that.

After that, you'll want to head to your own local flea market.

(which I'll be posting a list of my favorites soon)
Or, drive around the night before trash day & pick yourself up
some free stuff.

Here's some things to grab so you

can bring the flea market look into

to your home.

if you see a collection of small items that you like,

grab them.  You'll figure out what to do with them later.

need I say more?

 You can always find a place in your house for a small table, 

just think outside the box, and invest in some spray paint.

It'll work wonders.
(and if it doesn't fit in your house, I'm sure it'll fit in a friend's )

 These versatile items can be used anywhere.

You can even hang them on the wall
& use them as shelving.

 Snag a collection of these to group on your

mantel, or hang on a wall.

 Wooden crates can store anything.

Remember adding layers will add charm.

 Don't under estimate the power of paint.

If the drawers are in bad shape, get rid of them & slide

in some baskets.

If the doors are u-g-l-y,

take them off and paint the inside of the piece.

 Love'em.
Hang'm on a wall, 

or add wheels for hidden storage under the bed.

 Always buy hardware. Always.

Even if you just display them in a glass jar.

Instant vintage charm.

 This wood will become your best friend.

Keep a good supply on hand for spur

of the moment projects.

And there's a ton more I could show you,

 but you get the gist.

Now, get out there and bring home a bunch of junk!
