For the Love of vintage-ORC Linking Participant

Thanks again to Linda for hosting such a fun linking party. Wait where's the champagne?
Moving on... When the idea of redoing this room was in its infancy (when the college acceptance letter came), I knew I would be incorporating quite a few vintage pieces. Totally budget friendly and perfect to pull together the eclectic looks I am going for. Here are a few that I already had and others that I bought specifically for the space. The bamboo chair above is one of my favorite of the bunch.

I scored a cute vintage lamp on Etsy that I still must find a shade for. I have thrifted a few music related books because my son, Mr. DMM is a music business major (and also Mike's Hard lemonade drinker). I cleaned the closet, son. I know you are reading this.

I am a long way from styling the accesories but a few are perched atop this mid-century dresser that belonged to my husband. I will sheepishly admit that I hated it for a long time, not seeing its groovy lines as a good thing but I am thrilled that I kept it and to have it in this room.

I bought this vintage alarm clock for the room as a consolation purchase after seeing antique, handcarved Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee bookends that were waaaaaay out of my budget. Mr, DMM's real name is Jackson Lee, so therein lies the appeal.

Sporting it's new cushion

This vintage stool (cool) came with its original cushion (not cool) and I replaced it but not before a few maddening searches.

Gross old cushion and my toe

Finding the correct size proved challenging.

Grrrr

I found the right cushion at Target and I will provide sources for all of the new items that I have in the room in my final post.

I am also including some vintage art on my gallery wall, most of it was either made by or bought by my grandparents but you will have to wait for the art post in this series to see what I include.Here is what I have accomplished.
To do List:

1. Throw away box of Mike's Hard Lemonade empties in the closet and scrub everything including carpet.
2.Paint walls
3. Source vintage furniture and accessories
4. Move Queen bed in
5. Install new light fixture
6. Trick out the bed with cool pillows
7. Hang curtains
8. Hang art including 2 custom paintings
