My Favorite Find in a Long Time

I rarely visit the Fairfax Flea Market anymore. I prefer to go to bigger markets and I feel like there is less haggling at Fairfax (you know how I LOVE a deal!)

Well, I went on Sunday and found this awesome container for a friend who grew up in Michigan.

He’s going to put a big plant or a tree in it and use it as a planter in his living room. Love that it’s a little nod to “home” for him!

And it was only $20! How’s that for a deal!?

I love breathing new life into furniture on its last leg! I went to UC Berkeley for undergrad and am currently a graduate student in the Communication department at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. I started getting into collecting vintage things while I was in college at Berkeley. It all started with vintage designer samples, and hunts for "new" things led me to more and more stores that carried vintage crystal and china (loving this stuff is in my DNA-- I'm southern!) Looking for china led me to stores and markets that also carried furniture. As a college student, I couldn't afford ANY vintage pieces that were high quality, so I started buying stuff and fixing it up. How did I learn? Trial and (lots of) error. This isn't my first venture into the blog-o-sphere. After undergrad, I modeled and wrote the blog The Model Who Eats in order to document the foods I loved during my travels and promote a healthy lifestyle. I love rehabbing pieces for the spaces I design. Check me out on Instagram @chair_candy and @RoadsideRehab
