interior inspiration : flea market style.

When it comes to interior design, I would have to say that flea market style is probably my favorite. Sure, it can sometimes come off as too country or grandma-like, but when done well, I think it is absolutely beautiful. I adore seeing other people's collections of one-of-a-kind pieces from long ago, carefully displayed around their homes. Sadly, Portland doesn't really have the best (or really any) flea markets, but we do have our share of estate sales and thrift stores that I scour constantly. These images show the exact style that I hope to complete in our home someday.

  12. I love the kitchens you found — the top one is my favorite. And the middle one with the Cath Kidston-esque plates is so fun (chinese lanterns hanging in the cabinet — adore!)

  13. These are all fantastic rooms! There is so much to love about flea market finds. It's such a unique expression and how exciting is it when you manage to find an entire dinning set for free on the side of the road?! Makes my day every time.
