FAMILY ROOM »»» MAPS, $30 EACH Flea Market in Noblesville, IN

With a niche for finding hidden gems, Greenshner frequents flea markets, antique markets, garage sales and Goodwill. So much so that her son Blake said, "Mom, why do you like everything so old? Why can't we ever have something new?" ACROSS THE TRACKS Greenshner found these railroad maps, circa 1904, at a Noblesville weekly flea market. During the early 20th century, state maps of rail lines were common. She scored them for $30 apiece. One map's nails and strings are still intact. DIRTY TRICKS To make the new glass milk bottles from Target match the vibe, Jessica tossed in some dirt to dust them up. PEACE BY PIECE Greenshner cobbled together this restful bench using legs found at an antique fair ($12), a simple apron and tufted, upholstered pallet wood. FAMILY TREE The old shoe trees pay homage to the shoe store her relatives had owned.

FREE Shutters from aunt's lake house painted white

RICE PILLOW, $1 Goodwill

STAG FOR A STEAL Greenshner found the fake deer head for $3 on holiday clearance, and then painted it white. She glued the leaves onto the wreath and hung it all together on weathered shutters. RIDING THE BENCH She scored this bench from an old high school. The teal color was original and beautifully antiqued, and it's a perfect repository for a tray of accessories. A vintage olive bucket sits underneath. FINE ART ON THE CHEAP A series of inexpensive frames from Target display pages from a Leonardo da Vinci coffee table book — love this gallery wall.
