This weekend I went to the Remnants of the Past Vintage Show, which was full of repurposed and refinished finds!
Hearts made out of the metal of old wine barrels
A swing made out of an coffee table, genius! Those pillows are fab too!
Letters galore cut out of metal
Old vessels and bottles everywhere 🙂
And lots of great repurposed signage!
I also had the opportunity to meet the talented Matthew Mead – whose work certainly speaks for its self. Matthew is not only a brilliant designer but was a joy to speak with.
Matthew has released several publications, most recently Flea Market Finds with Matthew Mead.
This is a must read for any DIYer! From front to back, each article is full of inspiring tips to design and create with flea market and vintage finds. The 160 pages are filled with new ideas for repurposing maps, baling wire, as well as innovative ideas for decoupage and much much more!
Matthew was gracious enough to give a signed copy to one of my readers!!
