FABULOUS!

How in the world can anyone say the items in this book dont relate to each other. Sounds like you have NO sense of decorating! This book is one of the best books I have ever seen. It is unbelieveable all the ideas that are in this book! Definately a book I will keep and read over and over! Great ideas, inspiration and pictures, but only if you have an open mind and a creative style will you understand this book! Absolutely AMAZING!!!

Fantastic Photography that shows a variety of styles!

I am a fan of Chris Mead, and he didn't let me down with thisbook. I love the way many of the homes are decorated in this book. Ilove white walls, and I am thrilled to see so many of them in this book. For all those decorator's that say "Give your home warmth with wall color, " here is my rebuttal. I LOVE the peacefulness of white walls and this book inadvertantly demonstrates just how wonderful all the flea market finds look against a white backdrop. The styles provided in this book are varied and clearly loved by the home owners. A wide range of economic approaches are demonstrated in this spectrum of flea market finds. A fun, informative book with wonderful pictures to garner ideas.

I also recommend another book, Flea Market Decorating

This is a delightful book, but I also recommend a new book that's just out. It's Flea Market Decorating, which is full of fresh new ideas, especially about recasting old objects in new ways. For me, it captures the fun of going to flea markets and using those little treasures to personalize my home.

A Must!

I have read them all and I like this one! I am truely the flea market shopper! I loved the photo's this book offered and the idea's. With all the garage sales in our area we are never at a loss..I especially loved the way it taught me a little bit about each subject you find at a flea market..i.e. china, books, toys. The best part though would be the photo's. They lend your eye the lasting look of oh! I could use this technique with this.....

I loved this book. just what I've been looking for.

This book has nearly everything I've been looking for. It has suggestion on how to work a flea market, what to wear, bring, what to do with your treasures. Fablous, marvelous! I would surley buy other books on this same subject by these authors.
