Hot off the press...The Great Junk Hunt Official Trailer

Here is a good look at the market that started it all! The Great Junk Hunt in Puyallup started in a small gym and has grown to over 30,000 sq. ft. at the Washington State Fairgrounds! We have over 120 vendors with awesome Junkin goodness and thousands of shoppers to the show. 

Now with shows in multiple cities across the west coast, we are spreading our junk love! Our happy junkers are what really make our show special and worth doing what we do. We hope to see you at our next show in your area!

Funky Junk Sister, Linda Albers, created an event for junkers to come together to buy and sell all things vintage, upcycled and unique. Formally known as Junk Salvation by the Funky Junk Sisters, this show has won several awards for best flea markets in America. Come see what all the fuss is about!

Mid Century Modern Furniture Part 2 Color!

Here are some ways to add color to a mid century piece. A geometric pattern pairs well with the sleek lines of a modern piece. 

Below is something a bit more sutble...but still a conversation piece. 

Bold but EASY! Just remove the drawers and the knobs and paint. 

This tall dresser has been painted and papered for a softer feel. 

Painters tape will help you create this look. 

The 70's gave us furniture with ornate carved like design. Seriously, it could look very ugly, until you play it up with a little paint, like the dresser below. 

Sometimes keeping it simple with one color is just enough. 

Mid Century Makeovers Part 1

We haven't always been fans of the Mid Century Modern look but lately we have fallen in

love with some of the creative ways people have been "redoing" them. This basic white and brown look has caught our attention. Simple enough for just about anyone to try. Below the actual design within the piece itself created an easy pattern to follow. 

This look could be accomplished with a vinyl cutout also. 

Similar to the one above. 

This is actually an ikea dresser....same look as mid century but with an ikea price. 

A little busier pattern with the same type of results. 

We'll do another post on this style soon where the focus is on color... lots of color! This style of furniture can pull it off both ways. 

The Great Junk Hunt will have numerous vintage markets this year all over the country. See our show dates to see when we will be in your neck of the woods!
