"According to Fressange, the trick to unearthing a treasure at the Marché aux Puces is to go in without looking for anything in particular at all. Instead, be open to how a statue, a desk, or a mirror you stumble upon can instantly transform a room and give it life. 'On one visit, I found a beautiful trumeau mirror and as soon as I brought it home, it turned a familiar room into a space with personality,' she says. 'Same thing with a long and narrow table that I picked up there ten years ago that I painted white: all of a sudden I felt like I had something entirely new but with the same perfect proportions.'"
