French Flea Market Style Guest Post

French flea market style is a lot like French style in general; it's effortless, a little hodgepodge-y, it's daring, but not too daring and it's always so darn chic!  At any flea market, in France or in your hometown, you're sure to find that one eclectic velvet wingback chair, vintage poster or beveled mirror that's perfect in its vintage, well-worn glory.  The flea market look is practically overflowing with decorating ideas, so get thee to the nearest French flea market (or maybe eBay) and start looking for that perfect piece.

This room exhibits classic French flea market style.  The perfect antique chandelier, a couple of French wingback chairs and a linen-upholstered settee are put together in a seemingly effortless way.

This bedroom design is accented with the kind of things you'd be lucky to find at a french flea market.  You can find things like a silk Mariano Fortuny Pendant Lamp, some accent pillows and table lamps at a bargain at a really good flea market.

This child's bedroom is playful and chic, with its vintage poster and cowhide rug.  Any grown-up would be lucky to have such a chic bedroom.

Love this room's eclectic design!

French fashion designer, Marcel Marongui, would know all about decorating in the French flea market style...especially since he has the convenience of a delicious Parisian apartment.  It's a small studio, bot even 700 sq. ft., yet it packs a wallop of a punch in its chicness.  It's classic in its mix of styles and flea market finds.



The great thing about the French flea market style is that it's remarkably easy to achieve.  All you have to do is head to the flea market and see what you great pieces you'll find.

I'm Back!!

Hi all,
Sorry I have been gone for so long, but I have been making things and filling orders non stop.
I snapped a few photos from around my house this morning so you could see some Halloween decor.
I hope you are all doing well and having fun blogging. I'm am a very bad blogger, but it's so hard to keep up with the blogs when you are creating all hours of the day and evening.
Enjoy the pics.
Have a great week!!!
Chat sooner next time I hope.
Love,

$2 Antique Mirror

Hi all,
Hope you had a fantastic Labor Day weekend!!
Saturday was garage sale day. I always have a fun time treasure hunting with my daughter on Saturday mornings.
This week, I found this cool antique mirror for only $2. Could not believe it, as I have paid much more in the past for these kinds of mirrors.
I had the perfect spot to hang it where it reflects my little chandelier and my DREAM sign which hangs over my bed.
Well, it's back to my Halloween art.
Talk again soon,
Love,
Rosemary
