Book Review – Flea Market Fabulous: Designing Gorgeous Rooms with Vintage Treasures

June 5, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

Oh boy, where do I even begin with this one? Flea Market Fabulous: Designing Gorgeous Rooms with Vintage Treasures by Lara Spencer is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to turn their home into a boho chic paradise, but doesn’t quite know where to start.

I was already a huge fan of Lara Spencer from her time on HGTV’s Flea Market Flip, but this book just took it to the next level. The nine different rooms she showcases are all unique, but they all have one thing in common: they are all breathtakingly gorgeous. I mean, she’s basically the Queen of flea market finds and the way she brings everything together is just magic.

I was especially impressed with the step-by-step process she walks us through. She starts with identifying the design dilemma, then comes up with a decorating plan, makes a mood board for inspiration, compiles a shopping list, and finally scours flea markets for furniture and accessories that fit the bill. And let me tell you, this woman knows how to shop!

She even takes the time to restore and repurpose the pieces she finds, giving them new life. This is one of the things I love most about flea market finds – not only are you giving your home a unique touch, but you’re also being environmentally friendly by giving a second life to old items.

And the before, during, and after photos of the DIY projects and room installations? Pure gold. Lara demystifies the decorating process and allows you to see just how easy it can be to create a beautiful space with secondhand finds.

So, if you’re looking to add some vintage flair to your home and want to see just how gorgeous flea market finds can be, then Flea Market Fabulous is a must-read. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

P.S. I’ve already started planning my mood board for my next flea market haul. I’ve got my eye on a vintage bar cart and a mid-century modern lamp that would look perfect in my living room. I can’t wait to see what kind of magic I can create!
