“I love to go to flea markets! A flea market may seem like an obvious place to find a steal, but I try to seek out things that might be less obvious and overlooked. For example, I found two small mirrors with gold frames at a flea market in New York, which on their own, may seem too small to be very useful. However, when mixed with other items, they take on another life. I’ve since incorporated those two mirrors in a powder room with a gallery wall.” —Designer Stephanie Molster
“I get a thrill out of uncovering vintage home decor pieces that come with a rich back story and unique qualities. Whenever I have the time, I love to scour vintage markets, like the Oakland Vintage Market, the Berkeley Flea Market, and local antique shops for hidden gems.” —Designer Mahsa Afsharpour of Saga Interiors
“If I’m looking for unique and affordable pieces to add final touches to a space, I always head to my favorite flea markets and antique centers. There’s always something for everyone and every room! My favorite destination in the warmer months is Elephant’s Trunk Flea Market in Connecticut. I’ve purchased vintage silver items, cookbooks, and old maps. When the weather is less enjoyable, the Stratford Antique Center is my first stop!” — Designer Jocelyn Polce of August Oliver Interiors
“Local antique outlets, such as Scott’s Antiques in Atlanta, Westside Market, and the shops in the Peachtree Battle area, are go-to locations for unique finds in my local area and help create a layered collected one-of-a-kind look.” —Designer Hope Austin
