Decorate your Room with Flea Market Finds

By Mercie Hallow

You can almost find anything in a flea market. From household items to clothing to garage equipments, the possibilities are endless. Flea markets are also the place where designers on Shabby Chic concept themes and budget friendly projects are to be seen. They are creative enough to scour for unique pieces and finds that could leave them to create a beautiful and fabulous space without spending for more.

Furniture pieces can have a new life by giving it a fresh layer of paint and providing embellishments that can also be seen on flea markets. 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. Hand painted knobs are great for dressing up an old armoire.

An old piece of door from a flea market can also serve as a decorative piece in a living room. Simply put a new layer of paint, in this case wood stain. The natural wood color from the stain can blend well to the Asian theme youve been planning for your home. Simply lean your door against the wall for a fun conversational piece. 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 Pretty floral fabrics from flea market that had otherwise been labeled as outdated can make a charming comeback in your bed sheets.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!

Come to the Holiday Flea Market at Torns River, New Jersey for exciting finds to decorate your home with!
