I want to remodel my room with a fifties theme. Is there a website or store I could go to that would help me?

Question

I already have wall colors picked out. What I'm looking for is posters and furniture, mainly. Any ideas? They're much appreciated!!!! And anything other than posters/furniture I might have left out that could accent the room the way that I want is also worth mentioning. Thank you to all who contribute!

I don't want that diner thing, though. That's a bit much...^__^

Try www.vintagelooks.com however some of the items may be a bit pricey. You can get some ideas then try going to an auction. Auctions at a older home or better yet was owned by an elderly person. My grandmother has items in her home that are original 1950's style. Some things need a little sprucing up, but if sold at an auction they may be purchased for much less. You may only have to put a few dollars into it to make it exactly what you like. An in-law of mine purchased four 50's style bar stools at an auction for less than $100. She only put $20 and 2 hours worth of time into them. They look great. She got a real deal since I have seen the same bar stools selling for $175 for a set of 2. Make sure before heading to an auction you know the 50's style your looking for and the price to purchase it new before bidding. Good luck and happy decorating.

I think you should check a lot of the thrift stores or antique stores, they might have a lot of 50 style furniture and/or curtains, frames probably some pictures that you could frame up for your room.
