The Lovely Lara Spencer
This past Friday I discovered a new show that I will surely be DVR'ing from now on: "I Brake For Yard Sales" on HGTV. You might already recognize the lovely host, Lara Spencer, as she is also the lifestyle anchor for Good Morning America. Her new show features her pursuing amazing flea market and thrift store finds, which she then restores and uses for beautiful room redecorations. She travels all over to find these amazing pieces and gives the viewer tips & tricks to accomplishing her high end looks for a reasonable price.

Watching her scour these incredible LA flea markets and thrift stores gets me incredibly motivated to do the same here in the DC, VA, MD area. Her tastes in pieces, and the palettes and patterns that she uses when recycling/restoring them, are exactly in line with my personal style. She's not afraid of bold colors and prints, and seeing what she creates really inspires me.
