January 10, 2020
Bob Richter, star of the PBS series Market Warriors and host of the web series Flea Market Minute, has been thrifting and collecting vintage treasures since the early age of 6. With a true passion for any object with a past and a story, Richter speaks to our desire to surround ourselves with belongings that impart beauty and meaning to our lives. Drawing on his years of experience as a stylist and interior designer, Richter takes us through a selection of beautiful historic homes, illustrating how to live stylishly with vintage finds and collections in Vintage Living: Creating a Beautiful Home With Treasured Objects From the Past. Published by Rizzoli International Publications Inc., the hardcover 224-page book is a celebration of the art of thrifting and decorating with pieces from every era. It is a full-service guide to treasure hunting, from flea markets, antique shows, and estate sales to country auctions, yard sales, and the online marketplaces. With a mantra of buy what you love, express yourself, and dont be afraid to mix periods, Richter also imparts hard-won practical tips, such as how best to negotiate and haggle. With chapters on entertaining and cooking, holiday dcor for all seasons (including Valentines Day, Easter, and Halloween, among others), giving vintage gifts, embracing vintage ways (writing letters, repurposing and recycling), and caring for your old treasures, this trove of vintage living will inspire readers to take a personal and creative approach to dcor.
