Does anyone have and 1800′s style bedroom ideas?
I am a teenage girl who LOVES vintage things! i love antiques and all that old stuff! i am remodeling me room with a english young lady 1800′s theme into me room. so any ideas? colors to paint me room bed frames furniture decor anything will be appreciated! thank you!!
go for very rich coloring. Gold accents- maybe even paint your walls a gold color to give it a rich feel. Textured and intricate wall paper can also be used. Crown molding along the top of your walls, baseboards along the bottom and a chair rail about 3 foot up from the floor going all the way around the room will also add an old architecture feel. If going all the way around the room is too much, you can use molding to sort of “frame” out squares or rectangles on your walls and doors.
here’s a bedroom idea:

here’s an example of moldings:

Also, try to stick to dark, rich wood tones for your furniture. For pictures, use very ornate gold frames or carved wood.
here’s a carved wooden frame that is very pretty for ideas:

You could also do a search for “gesso frame” which should bring up some very ornate and expensive looking picture/ mirror frames.

Furniture of that era was very tall so, if you can’t find period furniture and you still want to have the tall effect, find long mirrors and hang them vertically on the walls. You could create your own frames for the cheap $15 mirrors by going to your local home improvement stores and buying decorative moldings and having it cut down to measurements right there at the store. You would then nail and glue it all together and could also paint the moldings to your taste.
here is a how to link:

Anyway, good luck.

Radiogram (Furniture) $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In British English, a radiogram is a now oldfashioned piece of furniture that combined a valve radio and record player. The word radiogram is formed by a combination of the words radio and gramophone. Radiograms reached their peak of popularity in the late 1950s, supported by a rapidly growing interest in records. Originally they were styled in polished wood to blend with the furniture styles of the 1940s and 1950s. Later models took on the modern lines and plastic finish of the 1960s. When valve radio development ended in the early 1960s and transistors began to take over radiograms became obsolete. By the early 1970s, they had been replaced by more compact equipment, such as the HiFi and the music centre.Since radiograms were manufactured in such huge numbers they are not as rare or valuable as TV sets or table radios from the same period.
