ROAD TRIP: Brimfield, MA Antique Show and Flea Market – SCORE!
We hit the road again this year for one of our favorite get-a-ways, the Brimfield Antique Show & Flea Market and I can’t wait to show you what we found! We scored huge in both weather and in great stuff! We look forward to this every year because not only is it a night away for just the two of us but it’s an incredible place for JUNKIN’! (See our trip and finds from last year here). If you’re ever up in New England, you should definitely check it out! There are acres of booths and unique finds…
Wouldn’t this make an amazing kitchen island????
This booth had beautifully hand painted pieces…
So much stuff to look at and we only covered about 2/3 of the place in 2 days. We were exhausted and a little sore but it was worth it. We ended up with some pretty cool stuff, but before I show you the goods though, I’m going to ask you to keep an open mind. OK, here goes…
OK, here comes the open mind part…
So I know you’re thinking, have you lost your mind ??? Especially with the last 2 pieces. But, give me a few days, and I’ll show you what becomes of them. I promise, it will be worth it 🙂
In the mean time, I have a quick update to one of the other pieces. Here is the before of the little shutter which I picked up for $8…
I gave it a good cleaning and removed the hardware which was covered in layers of paint. I boiled the hardware in water and let it sit until the paint was easy to scrape off. Once it was clean, I spray painted it with a new coat of flat black. Good as new.
I decided to go with this pretty grey again like I used on the milking stool this week and the hutch a few weeks ago.
It’s much cleaner now and not so predictable as with the white. A little sanding here and there and with the hardware back on…
There’s just one of the transformations. Stayed tuned for some big reveals of the other pieces coming soon as well as how I used the other cool finds to decorate in unique ways!
Happy DIY’ing!

No you definitely have not lost your mind. I absolutely love the metal cart and the sewing machine. Can’t wait to see what you do with them.

I am drooling. The goodies you found? Wow! And I wholeheartedly agree, that piece would make a stunning kitchen island. I need to add that market on my “must visit” bucket list.
In my house! lol
Thanks, Christine! You should definitely go to Brimfield and give yourself a couple of days of “hunting”!
You found some great treasures! I would love to go to Broomfield one day. Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday last week!
Last week I saw a sewing machine in a thrift that I’d match against yours for old and grungy.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.
Brimfield….a field too far for me, so glad you are willing to share your adventure. Thank you……!!!!!!
love your finds! can’t wait for the reveals!!!!,wish I had your energy.
Thanks Christina! This was a fun trip and I can’t wait to share the projects!
Looks like good stuff!. I’m a little jealous as I did not make it this time. Maybe in July!
Hi Mary! They definitely had some great stuff, I told Kevin we need to bring a u-haul next time 🙂
I love the things you brought home and I can’t wait to see what you do with everything.
I collect old match holders and I spotted yours….I only have three, but I love them!
Thank you! The match holder was my husband’s find. We are going to mount it to the wood box next to the fire place, once he builds it. 🙂
