Love this little red side table, color was even better in person it was somewhere between a red and an orange

One of the best parts of LA are all the flea markets.  They seem to have a better selection than what I find in NY Flea markets and there are just more of them.  I also have a bit more patience out here as the weather is almost always perfect for a day at the flea market.  The other great thing about LA is if you find something that needs a little TLC, like a coat of paint I can go out my front door and sand and paint it and voila! As most of my friends know I have exceptional stamina when it comes to shopping.  I can start at 9am and go until its dark with hardly a break for lunch, which is why I think I do well at flea markets. I can spend hours hunting through the good, the bad, the ugly and the down right scary in search of that perfect object or piece of furniture.  

I generally don't go to flea markets for clients when I'm on the east coast, but I really think these will be a great resource for projects out here. Nothing I saw was over $500.00! See below for my not only my favorite finds but also the quirkiest! Enjoy.

Love the pulls on this.  Paint it just about any color and its a great dresser.  White, Red, Black?!

Again a coat of paint and you have a great little side table.  Stack some books or a great object on the bottom shelf.  I wouldn't do these and the dresser this is an either/or situation.  Sorry folks not into sets!!

Pretty Mid-Century blue glassware.  Crazy for the pitcher and wouldn't the piece on the right look great on the shelf of the above side table?

I couldn't resist the vintage musical notes.  Love the notes, love the frame!  If I stick with my guitar lessons I'm buying them for myself.

Incredible brass and stone pitcher from El Salvador

Wacky mirror with brass lizards, but I want it!

This is actually one of a pair, how great for a kitchen

Loved this red coffee table.  The material was almost like a parchment

Fun 3-arm shell light fixture

These amused me.  Supposedly from a 1950's Chanel makeup counter at an A&S store in New York, but not sure I believe that.  Coco would have been horrified! White pleather ICK!!!

Reminds me of something Diana Vreeland would have worn.  I LOVE this! WANTING!

Wouldn't be this be fun as a bar somewhere....OR perhaps when I have a dressing room I could do something cool with all my jewelry and accessories....

1950s hair dryer.  Why on earth do I want this?!

Sweet little bench just needs some new fabric, maybe a dark green velvet or an orange

I told you things could get scary!

I think these could be really pretty in the right space.  Maybe the pair in an entry hall or one in a dining room.
