Flea Market Chic is a guide to bringing texture, colour and depth to your home with vintage finds. Flea market finds are the perfect finishing touch to any interiors scheme. In modern rooms, a distressed chair or a vintage mirror bring much-needed character. In traditional decorating schemes, faded textiles and mismatched china are all part of the charm.

Flea Market Chic is about recycling, upcycling and repurposing, but it's also about a sense of history and place, individuality, and creating a home that reflects your life and personality. Every piece has a story: the colourful jug found at a car boot fair, the vintage telephone that belonged to a favourite aunt, the little chair found in a village junk shop or the old dustbins converted into fashionable zinc planters. Flea Market Chic shows you how to spot the clever find in a pile of junk, where to look and how to negotiate, how to smarten up second-hand items, and how to reuse things you already have.

It is a natural gift for the friend who cannot walk past an op shop, a first-home buyer furnishing on a budget, or a mum who loves a weekend market. Find more in Gift Ideas for the Bookworm.
