Vintage, antique, shabby chic – these terms are used interchangeably and synonymously. But in actuality, they are quite different. Let’s investigate the differences:

One of my favorite things is to “re-purpose” vintage finds. Recently, I purchased an antique sewing machine, which I plan to re-design as a table or chair. Decorative objects can be made into lamps; old doors can become tabletops; armoires can be converted into desks. There is so much inspiration online for recreating too. Let your imagination go wild!

Although flea markets are typically spring and summer destinations, many are open year round. Try the Folsom Boulevard Flea Market or our local Tahoe Flea Market.

Enjoy the thrill of the hunt!
