Vintage Midcentury Bedroom Redesign Reveal!

After a couple of months, it’s complete! I have a few different bedspreads to coordinate with this one, too (not all shown). My blonde mid-century headboard, nightstands and dressers were an estate sale find over ten years ago. The colorful slightly psychedelic animal print bedspread is from the 1970s, found new in the package!

The burnt orange gauze is new, from Amazon!

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was replacing my vintage 1960s lamps and shades (one died) with something new and UL listed that looked vintage. I ended up going with a brass and glass base paired with a very retro linen drum shade, both purchased on Amazon as well. The vintage cube radio was an online purchase from many years ago. I bought it because it was the exact radio my late maternal grandfather held on his lap in his wheelchair in his later days. It reminds me of him and is comforting. The phone was an estate sale find, one of many working rotary phones in my collection. The vintage tissue box holds colorful hankies instead of paper tissues.

About this mural-like art over the bed…it’s a vintage pillowcase from the 70s!

Those cute little mirrors are another Amazon find.

My “dressing table” is actually a vintage sewing table and bench I purchased at a rummage sale many years ago. I love the new retro LED Hollywood style mirror I placed on top of it, purchased from Ulta.

The groovy orange and yellow wall hangings behind it are actually towels from the 1970s!

The vase is vintage, the birch branches are new with tiny LED lights.
