A VIDEO OVERVIEW OF OUR APPEARANCE ON FLEA MARKET FLIP!

A quick overview of the awesome stuff we did on Flea Market Flip!

 

 

 

This episode of Flea Market Flip features urban upcyclers Tyagi and Jane going head-to-head with creative best friends Anne and Jenny. Each team gets a $500 budget to find, fix-up and flip projects from items purchased at Connecticut's Elephant's Trunk Country Flea Market. The teams will have only one hour to shop for design projects that feature mixing and matching items to make something new, creating tribute pieces, and a "wild card" project - where anything goes. After haggling for bargains at the flea market, both teams get to work transforming their finds, in the hopes of outselling their competitors at New York's hip flea market, Brooklyn Flea. The team that outsells their competition goes home with $5,000. Hosted by Designer/Flea Market connoisseur and Good Morning America Co-Anchor Lara Spencer.

FUNNEL LOVE

There's no denying that we've got a thing for funnels and are happy to see that other folks do too - like NY based Designer Justina Blakeney. Check out her homage to the funnel featuring our very own funnel lamp.

PS:  Justina, we can't stop perusing your site. Your work is stunning!
