Exceptionally Eclectic – Flea Market Filled Fabulous House Tour

 

I recently had the pleasure of meeting my new blogging BFF – Denise of The Painted Home when she shared her Secrets of Throwing a Yard Sale.

We are kindred spirits – Philly girls (I grew up nearby) who never met a yard sale where we didn’t screech to a grinding halt.  She’s a designer who’s been featured at the Philadelphia Home Show and even sells her finds at Serendipity, a shop in Doylestown, PA.

I grew up in a house with the same stone – one of my favorites on a house.

See how Denise made her own shutters – to mimic the look of copper!

Denise and I are heading to the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck, NY on Saturday, June 8 when I’ll finally meet my partner in flea market loving crime in person.  If you’re going, tweet me at @eclecvintage so we can meet!See more Exceptionally Eclectic home tours here.
