On my first trip to Tasmania about 8 years back ,I was lucky enough to visit the Salmanca Markets . As you do , I came back with a bag full of handmade treasure , only thing I had no place to put it .That was then but now I have a few pointers for those family heirlooms / flea market finds .
1)Mix It Up
This is my mantra for home decorating and it works on these precious finds too. Mix your old finds /heirloom pieces with something new and totally different .
2)Vignette It
Creating a Vignette has been so popular and household thanks to Instagram . Inspiration is plenty, some of my favourite Vignetters on Instagram are ; @kararosenlund @sarahshanahan_lifestyle @villastyling @snehroy @sibellacourt
3)Compliment With Texture and Foliage
These are the components to truly bring it alive. So raid the garden or the neighbours plants whichever is safer :)
4) Let Colour Be Your Guide
By grouping together complimentary colours and keeping it to 2-3 colours ,the arrangement is more appealing to the eye .
6) Size Matters
I like to group large find/collectibles with smaller ones. If it is a single item but if it is collection displaying it in a symmetrical order size makes it even more appealing .
Do you have any gorgeous flea market/op shop finds ,that you are proud of ?
Love,

5)A Visual Story
Group complimentary objects together that tell a story e.g grouping your antique scissor collection with some hessian or jute and greenery tells the story of a garden , a love of nature and natural materials .
