After attending the Fancy Flea and seeing all of the beautiful, brightly-colored furniture I've been craving more color! Here are some great examples of color from Better Homes and Gardens. Enjoy!

Art Wishlist
Here are a few pieces from artist Rex Ray that I absolutely LOVE. I'm considering getting a print of the first one and framing in either a frame that is spray painted blue or red. Thoughts?

I live in Lakeland, Florida (a city directly between Orlando and Tampa; about 45 minutes from both) and every year downtown Lakeland hosts the Fancy Flea. This is a market represented by local buyers and sellers of everything vintage, and some cute new stuff as well.
Colored furniture was definitely a theme at this year's Fancy Flea. And the colors were anything but dull!
We saw a lot of vendors who had reupholstered old furniture in bright patterns. A great way to update old furniture!
This particular vendor liked to decorate her tables with fun place settings. Did you notice the apples on the plates? They're real! She also had a table with cupcakes!
Creepy baby dolls that seemed to be everywhere....I just had to take a picture.
This particular booth was fabulous! Notice the lamps, sans lampshades? This vendor used glass domes to display various collections. One had a silver platter with different shells and pebbles from the beach.
More reupholstered furniture...
Notice the heart shaped backs on these chairs? I thought it was very Red-Queen-from-Alice-in-Wonderland. :)
I think this piece was by far my favorite in the market. I wanted it, but it had already been sold.
This was a particularly lovely set of pink furniture made for a nursery or a little girls room.

This year's Fancy Flea Market was so much fun, and very inspiring! I can't wait for next year!

While perusing Apartment Therapy's site, I found the most fabulous little loft in Pawtucket, Rhode Island belonging to Richard and Julie. So chic!
