old beautiful things with stories to tell (photo taken in the flea market in St Ouen outside Paris)
Recently a friend of mine asked me what kind of things I would decorate and furnish my home with? A home for me is a place that should be filled up with a welcoming ambiance, a peaceful spirit and also a place where love would be growing. To make that ambiance possible I would put lot’s of light, flowers and plants, candles…and books! I want my home to reflect me and the people living there.
Ever since I was a child I loved to stroll around in the fleamarkets…I came home with things that in my parents opinion was “trash” but for me it was things with history…beautiful things. New things are nothing for me, unless its a technical product. Antiques, different objects and curiosities are things I would dig for in the flea market and put in my home. I would rather put a cover on an old canapé than buying a new one. Giving new life to old things are more charming and would give more life and spirit to my home. And it’s also environment friendly not to throw away things and re-use them! Here are some photos on beautiful things in the flea market in St Ouen outside Paris:
