An elegant home in white and beautiful antiques.

Rue Magazine's latest issue features a dreamy home tour of the mother of Sacramento Street's Caitlin Flemming.  Sometimes I hear the word "flea market" and visions of over-cluttered spaces fill my head.  Not this home.  A handful of beautiful antiques create a base that is tasteful and elegant base for flourishes of carefully edited flea market finds and cherished travel momentos.

The home's aesthetic is also kept crisp and clean by white walls, which act as a canvas for mother Julie's treasures

A glamorous NYC publicist's office that feels more like a stylish home

Lonny Mag never fails to share amazing life AND work spaces, and the one below is no exception. I'm sure having an office space like this makes coming to work each day less of a chore and more of a pleasure! Enjoy!

Most of the decor and accessories in design publicist Elizabeth Blitzer's NYC office comes from flea markets.

The conference is also the dining room.

A home full of vintage treasures

Have you ever visited a friend’s home and everything in it catches your attention? You end up perusing bookshelves or admiring a collection of ceramics more than chatting with guests.  I actually love this when it happens because it means I am inspired – and by a REAL LIVED-IN home!  A home decorated over time with objects of meaning or history is almost always a joy to be in, because you get such a strong sense of the owner.  This home below displays how you can bring any home to life when your décor is selected over time and out of a true emotional connection.

The antique mirror is an instant focal point.

Flea market finds can keep a home office from looking drab and stuffy.

Of course, make sure you protect your possessions with Home contents insurance. Also remember to stop and think of how a vintage furnishing you love could be repurposed for some other function… turn an empty frame into a serving tray, etc.

A sweet, vintage tresure-filled Toronto home

A Monday pep-up for you! I love the modest, personality-filled character of this home.

Great light in this room!

Plants add so much life to a space.  We currently have 4 in our small living room.

I can't decide if this dining room would benefit from a flat-weave area rug.
