One of our favorite things I enjoy doing is to tour outdated Victorian-style homes… So, while I was on getaway in a small city in the southern part of the country, I discovered that there was a self-guided lake house tour that I could take, and of course, I immediately booked the tour plus although our spouse Josh wasn’t enthused, she accompanied me on the tour! Prior to the tour, I was able to check out some of the local stores in the section plus this city had one of the greatest flea markets that I have ever been to; The flea market was a great way for me to spend a few hours, but i evaluated out a few of the antique pieces that were being sold, but our absolute favorite part about the flea market was the handmade furniture.

There was a vendor that had nothing but handmade chairs, handmade tables, plus handmade benches. The pieces were well constructed, plus the details were very impressive. I couldn’t control our urge, so I ended up purchasing a handmade chair that I planned to place inside our home office! While the flea market was a great place to visit, the highlight of that trip was stepping inside those outdated homes. I was blown away by the good furniture that was inside these homes. Some had European furniture plus Italian furniture, but our favorite was the French type furniture… All the houses were so glamorous, plus beautifully decorated. Though I wouldn’t use the same furniture in our home, I do plan on getting some handmade furniture inspired by what I saw.
