Flea Market Baby

I also LOVE this book as well as their book on Fido! I am not in the market to decorate a nursery, but I do collect vintage childrens things, and this book has many wonderful ideas! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves vintage childrens things :)

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I am absolutely delighted with this book. If these authors want to write more books in this vein, I would want them all! I don't even have a baby to decorate a room for, but I was enthralled with it nevertheless. Charming decor and collecting ideas using all sorts of vintage things (which I love!). An absolute must-have for any mom who likes the vintage style, antiques, flea markets, etc. I agree it would make a terrific shower gift for a mom-to-be. It will give her plenty of ideas. And you know what? Even if she doesn't even like "old" stuff (or just doesn't know she does yet!), she may still get helpful ideas and/or may find it as delightful to look through as I did!

Flea Market Baby

A wonderful, inspirational reference book. I read it over and over again! I can't get enough! I study it, make lists of ideas and head off to the Flea Market! I just LOVE it! A great gift for the vintage lover! Or treat for yourself!Grab it up and ENJOY!!!!!!! Keep em' comin' PLEASE!!!!!

I'm inspired!

I absolutely loved this book! A friend gave it to me for my baby shower. If you're like me and admire the vintage look, but never knew where to begin or what to look for--I think you'll find this book as helpful as I did. The authors give such creative and useful ideas! Instead of being intimidated, I am now inspired to go to the flea market and begin decorating the baby's room! The photos are beautifully done and the writing is fun and clever! It was a great gift! I can't wait to get started!

Everything Old is New Again

The authors show examples of their flea market finds and how they converted them into useful treasures. The photographs of their end-use conversions are beautifully illustrated along with charming descriptions of their origins. I found enough great ideas to fill our nursery many times over.
