Iconic brand Farrow & Ball began in the 1940s as a small firm of craftsmen paint-makers, specializing in paints made in the traditional way with traditional ingredients. Despite its global success, Farrow & Ball has stayed true to these origins. It is the quality of its eco-friendly paints, with their exceptional depth and subtlety of colour, that has made the company famous. They look as good on the walls of a contemporary bathroom or slick Soho flat as they do in a period ballroom and are as perfect for a cottage as in a castle.

Divided into chapters according to style, including Classical, City, Modern Country, Country House and Cottage, the first part of the book shows Farrow & Ball paints and wallpapers used in a wide range of interiors. All the homes are British and share a sense of style, and an appreciation of the visual and emotional power of paint and colour. Part Two is devoted to colour. From the themes of All White and In Neutral to Softly, Softly, Dark and Handsome and Bright and Beautiful, each chapter explores a particular palette and shows how colour can be used to create atmosphere, character and charm.

Geraldine James is a true fleamarketing expert. She begins with the 10 Golden Rules (from arriving early and knowing how to work the stalls to training your eye to spot treasures amongst the rubbish). The following chapters on china and glass, textiles, furniture, metal, art, jewelry, and gardens explain what to buy, what to ignore, how to clean and repair, and when to call in the services of a restoration expert. There’s advice on how to display your finds and how to build a collection. Finally, there is a detailed directory of Geraldine’s favorite flea markets, from Round Top in Texas and Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl, to the markets of Paris and the south of France and the country towns of England. Vintage, retro, unusual, quirky, and one-of-a-kind — all these words perfectly describe the bounty to be found at a flea market.

About the author

Geraldine James started her career in fashion as a contemporary designer buyer, and from fashion she moved to home and gift. Geraldine soon developed a passion for collecting and finding the most unusual and beautiful things. She now works as a home buying manager at Selfridges and, as part of her role, spends time travelling extensively to find exciting new products for the store. The author is based in Putney, London.

Flea Market Style gives you all the information and advice you need to furnish and decorate your home with found objects rather than new items bought in shops. Emily Chalmers and Ali Hanan explain how to find fresh and unexpected uses for second-hand pieces and antiques, and reveal how to mix old and new with flair and panache. The first part of the book, Flea Market Finds, looks at household goods, from fabrics and furniture to ceramics, kitchenware, glass and lighting, and describes how to find special objects and identify them on the basis of their quality, character, resilience, colour and texture.

The authors advocate a subtle mixing of styles, patterns and colours, and emphasize the beauty of objects that have seen a bit of life. They explain how to locate bargain copies of modern classics or the real things and how to mix flea-market, salvage-yard or junk-shop finds with high-street basics. The second part of the book, Putting It All Together, shows how to incorporate the style in every room from the spaces where you cook, eat, sleep or relax to bathing spaces and work spaces. The book ends with an extensive directory of suppliers.

This stunning volume focuses on the qualities of the old things in our homes (the patina of an old table, pewter dulled by age, old floorboards that creak) and how to live with and incorporate them into our personal aesthetic. Divided into chapters by the qualities of old - peeling, dried, tarnished, faded, chipped, frayed, rusty, and mossy - this unique book not only pays tribute to furniture, textiles, china, silver and other accessories with these qualities but also shows us how best to preserve, adapt, and arrange them. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs that highlight the warm colors and rich textures of wood and paint, cloth and leather, For the Love of Old also includes ideas and recipes for saving old items from the junk pile, preserving and caring for the old things you have, giving newer things a lived-in feel, and bringing an enduring personality to every home.
