beautiful small bedroom ideas image
Girliee
I'm getting my room re-done, but not sure how I want it.
Does anyone know where I can get bedroom accessories, which are funky and like they belong in hollywood? haha
Or maybe a vintage themed room.
Answer
The post-war and early 1950's were the hottest years in Hollywood. Art Deco styling was on it's way into living rooms and the silver screen! The beauty and talents of Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, Lauren Bacall and Rita Hayworth were sophisticated and glamorous.
Every woman wanted a beautiful sanctuary of femininity and luxury. (we still do!)
Textures and colors were "borrowed" from the Victorian period, but not so stuffy.
But a MUST for every lady of the house was a vanity . A white vanity with an attached mirror where she could apply her make-up, style her hair, and adjust her diamonds and pearls before going out.
The vanity was probably white with a few gold-leaf embellishments. The small stool where she sat to admire herself was surely upholstered with a pale pink silk brocade cushion.Her silver brush set shared the vanity top with simple, but elegant perfume bottles filled with her favorite scents and dressed with atomizers.
Her bed was adorned with a champagne colored silk or satin brocade comforter and mountains of matching pillows. Across the end of the bed was a mink throw blanket for extra warmth or to toss around her shoulders if she needed to get up.to take a late night call from her director.
There was a lovely chrystal lamp on the night stand. And two bedroom chairs upholstered in (you guessed it) tufted silk brocade.(pink.

What? You don't have a mink throw for your added comfort? Easily remedied by a trip to a fabric store for fake fur, Sew a backing of soft ultra suede to it
Put on your pink satin slippers (with the feathered puffs on the toes) lie down on the lounge sofa and read the script
Oh, and pick up a gold star at Pier 1 for the outside of your door!

How Can I do an ocean theme master bedroom on a budget?
Forever Mi
We are planning on redesigning our master bedroom with an ocean/lake theme.
The walls for sure are going to be teal and white stripes with white trim.
We also plan on getting some shelves to put up, to put some little knik-knacks on.
The bed is oak and the bedding is navy on one side and baby blue on the other. We also have a black black-out curtain, so we can sleep in.
anything else we can do?
Answer
Wall murals are one of my favorite bedroom design ideas as it's a very inexpensive way to create your own fantasy island. You can find them as wide as 10.5 feet and 8 feet tall. Here's a couple links with teal colored water. Also consider smaller murals with portholes for windows or windows that look out onto water.
Another idea would be to hang a canopy over the bed made out of cotton duck or sail cloth. It could be attached to a wooden dowel and hung from the ceiling with rope. You may find a bargain this time of year on an outdoor canopy that can be hung in a wave like pattern, going from high to low to simulate sails or rolling waves.
If you have enough room why not use a beautiful outdoor lounge chair to go with your ocean theme. Think cruise ship luxury. Consignment shops may have some really cool old looking ones too for next to nothing.
Also, look for nautical lamps or light fixtures, again consignment shops are a great place to scout out bargains.
