Turn Flea Market Buys Into Gorgeous Home Decor

Don’t you just love the flea market?
It is a treasure trove for the bargain hunter. You never know what you might discover in a flea

market.
You could end up with an entire collection of postcards, or vases, or pressed flower portraits

or rather intriguing works of art. All for amazingly low prices. One man’s junk could well be

your treasure. Perfect for recession time home decorating.
Who says cheap stuff must look cheap? If it fits in with your decor and you absolutely love it,

buy it.
Okay, this can be tricky if your home is small and overcrowded. If that is the case, maybe you

should sell stuff on the flea market instead of buying more. Still, you can always rotate the

gorgeous finds and display some while keep the rest away safely in the storage cabinets, for

when you get tired of the existing displays.
The trick is to go for themed buys. Think collections!
A dozen or more wooden postcard make quite a stunning bathroom display if they carry the same

theme (e.g. seaside) and are grouped together in an aesthetically pleasing manner. An added

bonus is that they give the occupant something to look at while doing his or her

business.
A collection of flower pressings or drawings or same-themed artwork from the flea market can

make the guest room a lot more interesting if they are framed up and arranged in an orderly

manner on the walls.
Or you could cheat and get a kid’s artwork. How to create a knock out display has some fun

ideas to try out along that line.
A glass cabinet comes to life when you fill it with pretty vases that complement one another. A

collection of crystals or costume jewelry will look stunning when lit up in a glass cabinet. A

collection of porcelain dishes look stunning displayed in such a cabinet too.
You don’t have to stick to the conventional. Exotic scarves and shawls and fabrics look

gorgeous draped over a sofa or a bed.
You don’t need a masterpiece of a costly sculpture to make your home look special. Flea market

buys can look amazing if you know how to use them.
