Drew Barrymore is a woman of many talents: actor, director, winemaker, mother of two, and fashion and beauty entrepreneur (she recently launched her own makeup brand and line of sunglasses). But what you probably don't know is that this bohemian-chic icon is also a huge design fan, savvy in the ways of vintage shopping and DIY projects. "I'm always tinkering. It keeps things interesting," she told Elle Decor of her approach to interior design. Drew recently shared her home picks with Elle Decor — including her favorite places to score bargain decor — and we can all learn from them. Check out her tips ahead.

Serena & Lily Baskets
Drew hasn't let motherhood cramp her style. She keeps her adorable daughters' belongings corralled in Serena and Lily baskets ($78-$168). She described them to Elle Decor as "the chicest way to store your kids’ toys."

Engraved Stationery
"A note on engraved stationery is so much nicer than a store-bought card," said Drew, who is partial to Tiffany & Co.'s stationery.

Rose Bowl Flea Market
Even major movie stars like Drew can appreciate a good flea market find. She can't get enough of the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, CA. "I've scored vintage T-shirts, furniture, and a gorgeous feather that I display as a modern installation," she told Elle Decor.
Pat McGann Gallery Textiles
Drew's boho-chic style is obvious in her love of shopping at Pat McCann Gallery. The LA shop specializes in unique textiles and pillows and antique furniture, art, and accessories from around the world. Drew said, "If you love ethnic textiles, it’s impossible to leave this shop without buying something.”

Farrow & Ball Sample Pots
Drew appreciates the power of a good coat of paint. Her favorite is Farrow & Ball's sample pots. "The pigments are perfect for creating that look of faded elegance," she said, adding, "and the little pots make it easy to experiment."
ABC Carpet & Home Outlet
The only thing that makes finding a stylish piece of decor even better is finding it at a great price. "This home-furnishings warehouse in the Bronx has great deals. I found the coolest crocheted couch there," she said of ABC Carpet & Home's outlet store.
