I know the concept I'm trying to go for: a mix between modern and vintage (heavy emphasis on the vintage); but I don't know how or where to get the items I need to fully achieve that (and stay within a reasonable budget).
Here are some items that I may consider to be contenders:
First off, the bed. This has been the most difficult venture as it took me three days to decide on a simple mattress, a mattress! I've been in between the idea of having a nice bed, headboard and all, or just having a simple bed frame. I found this bed at Ikea and though I like it, I'm worried it might be too...child like? I'm not really sure.
Next, we have a dressing table. I really want a vintage vanity but can't seem to find one for a reasonable price (struggling college student here!). So I opted for a modern dressing table that I would decorate with old knick nacks and pretty things I find.
I also plan to put a light up mirror to make it look like my own makeshift vanity.
Finally, room decor. This portion wasn't as difficult as finding furniture, so it was easy to find things I liked. I know I want to adorn my room with lots of Old Hollywood posters so finding replicas on Etsy, won't be a hassle. I also want to store things in pretty jars and bowls around my room like these from Urban Outfitters:
That's all I have so far! Move in day is drawing near and I still have a lot more furniture to find (chairs, drawers, etc). I can't wait to get this process done and over with and have my room like I envision it to be *fingers crossed*. If any of you lovely readers have any suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated. :)
The room decorating hunt continues!
