    Decorating With Garage Sale and Flea Market Finds

    Decorating

    • More than a year into the downturn, design is undergoing a transformation. For many business owners, modern interiors feel too sleek and showy; rustic and modest better fit the current mood.
    • Fall is probably my most favorite time of the year with the crispness in the air and the vibrant colors of the trees. I love Halloween and all the decorations full of bats, cats, ghost and witches and don't you just love the way black and orange look.
    • Summer is the perfect season to visit local flea markets, garage sales, vintage stores or pullout you inherited treasures
