Q: Hey guys. I'm redoing my room to look sort of like a 50s style diner. All I need is little accessories & furniture that look old fashioned. Here's an example of some chairs -http://www.americanchairs.com/dinerchairs.html

Yeah, here are my questions.

1. Can anyone find a phone like the one in the second like for me at a price under 100 dollars?
2. Can anyone find this http://www.sportys.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&did=22&product_id=1835&fromgoogle=yes For me at a price under 500 dollars?
3. Is there anything else you could think of that would look cute in a 50s style diner bedroom?
