Submit Your French Flea Piece and Receive a $10.00 In-Store Credit!





Today I'm posting some pictures from the home of Brandi Shober, a Helena resident. She is a wonderful new customer in the shop and has purchased several pieces and I asked her to send me some pictures of how she has decorated with these pieces in her home so that she can be the first to receive a $10.00 in-store credit! If you would like to send pictures of how your pieces that you have had painted in the shop or that you have just purchased in the shop have found a place in your home, if they are featured on the French Flea blog, you will receive $10.00 in in-store shopping! Thanks for the beautiful pics, Brandi!

Furniture Painting Services Now Offered!





The French Flea is now offering to paint and distress your furniture pieces! If you have a piece sitting in the basement or something that just needs a little change, you can bring it to the shop, pick out your paint color and it will be painted and distressed and back to you in a short time at very reasonable prices!

Smaller pieces are best since work space is limited. If you are interested, you can just e-mail a picture of your piece to kbush422@gmail.com and I can give you a price or you can bring it by the shop. Turnaround time should be within a week!
