In season 6, episode 3 of Flea Market Flip, titled "The Vignette Flip," two teams are tasked with finding and flipping items to create a cohesive vignette display. Flea market regulars Cindy and Lynn team up to take on flipping pros Jen and Kyle. They each have $500 to spend in the flea market to find items for their vignette, which must have a unified color scheme and design. The teams scour the market searching for unique and eye-catching items to add to their displays, competing for the chance to win a cash prize.
Cindy and Lynn start off strong, finding matching lamps and a vintage typewriter. They also find an old cabinet which they plan to transform into a bar for their vignette. Jen and Kyle take a more modern approach, looking for trendy items like a wire hanging shelf and geometric shaped planters. However, they run into some trouble when they can't find any items in the same shade of blue that they were hoping for.
Back at the workshop, both teams put their DIY skills to the test. Cindy and Lynn sand and refinish their bar cabinet, giving it a fresh and modern look. They also turn an old ironing board into a unique tabletop for their display. Jen and Kyle work on repurposing an old piano stool into a trendy plant stand, but they struggle with attaching the legs.
The teams head back to the flea market to shop for finishing touches, hoping to add that extra "wow" factor to their vignette. Cindy and Lynn find a stunning vintage mirror, which they use to tie their display together. Jen and Kyle find a set of vintage postcards that they plan to put in a shadowbox for their display.
At the final reveal, the judges are impressed with both displays. Cindy and Lynn's display features a cohesive color scheme with pops of metallic accents, and their unique bar cabinet adds a practical element to the design. Jen and Kyle's display is modern and trendy, with unique DIY elements like the piano stool turned plant stand. However, the judges ultimately declare a winner - one team's vignette stood out as the clear winner, earning them the cash prize.
Overall, season 6, episode 3 of Flea Market Flip is a fun and competitive episode, showcasing the creativity and resourcefulness of each team. The challenge of creating a cohesive vignette display adds an extra layer of difficulty to the competition, but both teams rise to the occasion and create impressive displays.
