(the after picture, gold & red)

Where can I get the furniture, and how can i make the sign 'Make up'?

What kind of paint is need to paint the bed gold?

Any links, tips and help is great!

Thanks.
Where can I get the furniture online (the bed, mirror, lights, stool) and I don't want the movie theatre seats.
I live in Canada, so I need websites that ship to Ontario.

I would buy some unstained furniture and paint it with gold semi-gloss paint. Go to your local hardware store with the picture and see if you can find a swatch that matches or (even better) get the fabric you want to use for the capony drape and match the paint to that.

For the sign, go to your local craft store. They sell unstained wooden signs and stencils. I would waint the sign with water-based paint and then paint on the "make-up" with white spray paint or white paint with a small roller and a stencil.

How can I put a modern twist on vintage furniture?

I am moving into my new bedroom soon and it is very (very!) much smaller than my last so at the moment I am stuck with only a few pieces of furniture. I am trying to find a theme, something that will look modern and that I can create with accessories, not by altering the room as I am renting.

I have a vintage desk with a slanted surface that folds out, and an old-style bed with a large curvy headboard. They are both dark brown, and the walls of the room are brick. I can add shelves and have a small inbuilt wardrobe space.

I need tips on how to modern up the place and add a theme that won't make me feel like I'm living in a daggy, old-fashioned kids room.

Any help is much appreciated!

Answer
Paint your furniture in a bright color and use fun fabrics.

Check out the before and after section on www.designsponge.com. They have lots of cool ideas on how to update vintage furniture.

One I really like is drawing a picture of something on the wood, then you paint everything around the picture. You end up with the wood grain picture showing through. Looks really cool.
Get a nice carpet and have cool art on the walls.
