      Designing Your Home Using A Flea Market - John Nanto

      INTRODUCTION

      Perhaps the only thing more gratifying than successfully decorating your home in your own personal style is doing so on a budget. Fortunately, for the frugal-minded home decor fashionista in everyone, flea markets provide the ultimate economical shopping experience. However, navigating your way through the crowded aisles, knowing which days to show up and understanding the laws of haggling are just a few of the talents you must master on your quest to designing your home on a flea-market budget.

      The following guide will walk you through the more important points of home design for flea marketers, helping you from start to finish with every room in your house. While you can't reasonably expect to learn all of this in one sitting, you can absorb the information at your own pace and choose what's most relevant to you.

      Once you're finished with these words, you should be ready to take the flea market world by storm, setting up each room in your home according to your individual tastes, needs and budget. While form should nearly always follow function, the beauty of designing your home around the wonderful world of flea markets is that it's a completely customizable adventure, at the end of which you should be feeling like the king or queen of your castle and the envy of the neighborhood.

      Not only does browsing aisle after aisle of flea market merchandise save you a bundle of cash, it also provides you with one-of-a-kind pieces you'll treasure for years to come. Pieces that help you put together your ultimate version of paradise, and turn your house into a home that is truly all your own.

      Enjoy the adventures that await you!

      For you, the home designer, these places hold unlimited promise. Different markets sell all kinds of merchandise for around the home, from the raw materials with which to build to the fine finishing touches that make it all so beautiful.

      Flea markets began as a means of free trade for everyone, and they are
