Perfect for you if...

You love the thrill of finding hidden gems at car boot sales and want to know what separates junk from genuine treasure.
You're decorating on a tight budget but refuse to sacrifice style or originality.
You enjoy learning the practical skills behind home renovation, from spotting quality pieces to negotiating prices and restoring finds.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer shopping new and want the certainty of warranty and perfect condition.
You find yard sales overwhelming or you'd rather pay full price for convenience.
You're looking for interior design theory rather than a practical how-to guide from someone who actually does this work.

About this book

Lara Spencer, host of HGTV's Flea Market Flip and former host of Good Morning America and Antiques Roadshow, shares her approach to bargain hunting and home decoration in this book. Spencer describes herself as a frugalista who shops at yard sales, thrift shops, and estate sales to find items for decorating her own home and those of friends. The book covers where to shop for bargains, what to look for, negotiating prices, restoring finds, and incorporating them into home décor. It includes advice from world-renowned appraisers and contributions from well-known designers. The book also features the home of comedian Kathy Griffin, which Spencer refurbished and decorated.
