Flea Market Find
Going to flea markets and estate sales is one of those things I often daydream about. In my dream, I find this great piece of furniture, or a mirror, a piece of pottery, a lamp, and it’s a treasure tucked away behind old magazines and beat up coffee tables.
This rarely ever happens, because first, I have no money, and second, I rarely ever go to the flea markets. But on a whim the other day, Dan and I stopped in to a new market on the north side of town, and oh. my. gosh.
For $22 I got this chair. It’s fine the way it is, but I was thinking of reupholstering it with a royal blue velvet, and painting the wood white. That might get a bit pricey, and like I mentioned earlier, I don’t quite have the luxury of getting furniture redone right now. But for the time being, I’m pretty pleased with my find! I also purchased a rococo-style gilt mirror made of wood for only $15. I’ll post a photo of it later.
I’ve officially got the bug. Every tip and every dollar will now be saved for my next flea market visit.
