As soon as I glimpsed this stunning bedroom, I was ready to jump into the picture and call the room mine. The enchanting style of the bedroom also inspired me to find some vintage items that conveyed a similar pretty, hippy, boho vibe.
Vintage Silk Satin Material - Toot Tootsie (Etsy) $25 Create the boho-luxe look in your bedroom by draping this 'unused length of vintage off white silk satin' over your bed or chair. The pink flowers and green leaves are bedazzled in sequins and beads and make this fabric look super sweet.
Antique Fan Shaped Victorian Brass Letter Holder - Neatcurios (Etsy) $55 This would also look incredible as a jewellery stand. Try draping necklaces and hanging earrings over this gorgeous brass letter holder for an unusual but beautiful way to display your favourite jewellery.
Vintage Victorian Fan Fabric - Crash and Carry (Etsy) $7.99 Such an unusual print that would look divine for any decorative purpose. This 1970s fabric is available in four sample sizes so swoop in quickly.
Vintage Fenton Pink Satin Glass Umbrella - Old 2 New Memories (Etsy) $12 This is bizarre and beautiful and would make the ultimate, too-cute-too-be-true decoration. The Etsy seller suggests using it as a candy dish and for $12, I'm sure you'll find some use for this ultra pretty piece.
Vintage Striped Silk and Cotton Fabric - I Have Too Much Stuff (Etsy) $18 The Country Living bedroom appears to have many luxe fabrics draped over the bed and I thought this beautiful red and pink colour combined with the sheen from the satin stripes would create a similar decadent look. Perhaps you could use the fabric for a pillow or to create a lovely throw or blanket?
Vintage Hand Crocheted Lace Collar - Paris Pennsylvania (Etsy) $40 There were a few lace throws and tablecloths to be found on Etsy but this delicate lace collar in antique rose really stood out the most to me. Imagine sewing this onto a little dress or top. It would look stunning!
Vintage Chandelier Clip On Earrings First Pair - Some Like It Vintage (Etsy) $35 Second Pair - To Do Vintage (Etsy) $40 Vintage chandeliers can certainly be found on Etsy, online and offline but to keep prices reasonable today, I thought chandeliers in the form of earrings may be the next best option.
Vintage Large Black Victorian Boot Vase - Katique (Etsy) $18 I'm so smitten with this quirky shoe vase. I was searching for a black vase similar to the one in the Country Living photo and stumbled across this instead. Such a strong, decorative piece like this black shoe vase offsets the pink and feminine style of the bedroom wonderfully.
Vintage Cranberry Glass Vase - File Cutter (Etsy) $55 Continuing on with the pink theme from the Country Living picture, this impressive, cranberry coloured glass vase would make the perfect partner to a bouquet of fragrant flowers.
Earthborn White Clay Paint - Ecocentric, £37.95 for 5 litres Made in the UK
If your bedroom or house require a lick of paint, try a toxin (VOC) free paint such as this one from Earthborn. For an even greener option you could try Earthborn's Casein Paint. It comes in powder form and is 'free of VOCs, acrylics, oils,' solvents and titanium dioxide. You just need to mix the powder with water and you can also add the Earthborn pigments if you want to get truly colourful. Visit Earthborn Paints for further information.
Vintage Royal Purple Cloak Cape - Cloud Nine Vintage (Etsy) $70 If you want to veer away from black and grey coats this winter but aren't yet ready to go too bold with your colour choices, then purple is for you. It's classy and elegant with a unique touch.
Vintage Long Gray Cape Coat - The Vintage Bungalow (Etsy) $65 Try adding a belt or brightly coloured vintage scarf to this classic gray cape coat for extra flair. It will work perfectly for both casual or dressy events.
Vintage Mod Red Riding Hood Cape - Ophelia Vintage (Etsy) $47.95 Red always pops in a sea of somber coloured coats during autumn and winter. This coat is adorable and will look eye-catching thanks to its colour, collar and chunky buttons. Great price too!
Vintage Black Winter Cape - Splendidred (Etsy) $80 Very Mary Poppins but in a thoroughly fashionable way! The length and noir-ness of this cute cape makes it an ideal winter cover up option.
Vintage Avant Garde Cape - Persephone Vintage (Etsy) $99 With a rich purple colour and a versatile collar / scarf / hood, this Italian made cape oozes style and sophistication.
Vintage Chevron Pattern Cape - Family Garden (Etsy) $125 This 1940s cape immediately caught my eye with its chic pattern and cut. I would even consider altering it into a cropped cape for extra cuteness.
