I have wanted to go to this market for so long and seeing the pictures just gave me the push I needed. Thanks!

victoria, where do you find the space to refinish pieces you thrift? especially anything that would require sanding and painting? i can’t seem to find adequate space to do it.

I lived in the bay area for 4 years before I discovered the Alameda flea market. Now I plan everything around it and never miss it.

It’s absolutely amazing.
