Finally decorated a room vintagey!

[Lauren]

Hello!

Well, I now have a guest room decorated vintage style! After my roomates moved out I had two rooms with no purpose, so this one is the place I put all my treasures. I call it "the vintage travel room". Sorry the pics are so dark, but I hope you like it!

The postcards I found at an antique show we have monthly up here in a barn. They're fan letters to stars asking for photographs. There's ones from Deanna Durbin, The Andrews Sisters, Lou Costello, and Laurel & Hardy.

And the closet shot for good measure... Hope no one wants to hang clothes when they come to visit! All the hatboxes and suitcases are storing all my vintage goodies- hats, purses, gloves, etc. Good way to store things and it looks decorative, too!

Lauren,

Looks fantastic!

Maybe you should put a light coat of dust on everything as it looks like you've traveled everywhere and you must be off on another worldly adventure!

 

[LizzieMaine]

Gee, that looks like my closet -- only much much neater!

I love that bed -- makes a gorgeous centerpiece for the whole room. And great curtains -- very safari!

Great job Lauren on decorating the room!:eusa_clap I also love the bed, plus all the pieces to make it come together

 

[Lauren]

Thanks! Nearly all the furniture acutally belongs to my dad (I kind of rent from him) but the rest of the goodies are mine And thanks for the comment on the curtains! I actually made them from fabric from one of the $1 fabric stored in the Garment District in LA!

You've done a super job and have a lot of great vintage goodies. I'm sure you'll get rave reviews from any guests lucky enough to spend the night in that room.

Curtains look great! (But where am I going to hang clothes when I visit?)

 

[Matt Deckard]

Where have I seen that World's Fair poster before?

 

[John in Covina]

Wonderful touch!

Will it turn into a full blown vintage travel trophy room?

Nice collection of stuff.
I like the way you have the postcards arranged near the typewriter.
The hat boxes in the closet are nice too.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

A very nice well-lighted place. It reminds me of a room for a writer with that trusty old Royal. -Very nicely decorated.

How inviting! I love how vintage makes you feel like 'home'. Great job!

 

[Polka Dot]

What a fantastic themed room, Lauren. I especially like how you've arranged the typewriter and the trunks with stickers on them. Great hatboxes, too!

Ooh, do I see vintage sheet music?? I collect all sorts of them, so hence my excitement, you see.

Love it and so many goodies to discover.If our next house is vintage or inspired I'd love something similar in feel.I find myself torn between the mid-century style mixed with deco we currently favor and changing it to a more traditional style with deco.The deco must stay since we both love it.I'm even adding deco peices to the baby's room.
