Bob Richterâs passion for collecting holiday décor began as a boy. One day his father, who would take him to auctions, handed Bob a box of beautiful ornaments, including a blue jay, a Santa Claus, some bells, and other special figures, and said, âItâs time you started collecting something and I know you like Christmas.â So collect he didâand still does. That original box has grown into a collection that hovers at around 2,500 and counting.
Regularly featured in media outlets including the New York Times,Entertainment Weekly, The Huffington Post, The Associated Press, Redbook, the Boston Globe, FOX, CBS, ABC, and HGTV, Bob delights in sharing antiques, design, and bargaining advice. As âThe Designerâ and breakout star of the PBS series Market Warriors, Bob uses his personality and expertise to strike deals at flea markets all over the country and he remains a fan favorite. He also hosts Flea Market Minute and Minute Makeover. As a correspondent for TheHuffington Post, he writes for the Home, Style, Travel, and Arts sections. He is also a Tastemaker for âVintage and Market Findsâ on the high-end shopping portal One Kings Lane where he curates special sales with art, antiques, and rescued objects. Specializing in a marriage of comfort and smart design, Bob offers up a fresh take on living with âstuff.â His tongue-in-cheek mantra, âMore is More,â speaks to his love of art and antiques, which he culls from around the globe. As a contributor to PBS.org, Bob has profiled Pop Artist Peter Max, written about art pottery, WWII collecting, vintage Christmas décor, vintage clothing, and more. He has also served as Guest Editor of NYCArts and offers antiques advice in eHow and The Intelligent Collector.
