hi. im moving soon and i get the chance to redo my room which doesnt come very much. so i love vintage things. i was thinkin about having my room vintagy but with my own personal twist to it. i love red and black. so my ideas were that i want to have a whole wall of mismatched vintage frames along it. and maybe a whole wall red, or the top half of the walls bein red and the bottom being cream or something. i want other ideas please and please have a picture along with it. i also need new bedding so maybe if someone could send me links to good vintage beeing that woul dbe cool. thanks.

I love that! Just don't make everything either red or black because I feel that it could get a little overbearing. A white or creme definitely sounds good to break it up a bit.

PB Teen is having a sale on bedding.

I have that ^^ in my dorm and it actually makes a dorm look classy. I just have a K on the sham and black with white polka dot sheets.

Oh I just remembered Urban Outfitter's "Apartment" section is fantastic for all things vintage.

Go find a thrift store and get some cooky old chair, paint it black and then you can find new fabric for it too.

Maybe your parents will let you paint a wall black? You can get chalkboard paint at Walmart, or probably Home Depot also. But that could be cool and then your friend's could write on it or if you're artsy you could draw your own vintage designs on it.

I think a chandelier would really pull together the vintage theme. Even if it's not hooked up but you just have it as a hanging art piece.

You could have a lot of fun with mirrors and glass. I love those lamp bases that are like glass balls (I have one). It looks really old but then I put a modern square black shade on it. Got that at Target.
