The Rogers Home: Bedroom Decor

Flashback Summer - The Rogers Home: Our Bedroom - vintage modern home decor

Since my last post about the Rogers home, we've moved! We moved into a cheaper and larger house in a different neighborhood, and that was a chance to reorganize and redecorate.  Since getting married about a year and a half ago, we've saved our money and hit up flea markets and furniture sales to add to our home piece by piece.  You probably wouldn't find it in an HGTV magazine, but I am proud of us.  We don't need to have it all yet, and our janky little home is a good start for us.

The key to the bedroom was to create a vintage-inspired space that both my husband and I could feel comfortable in.  I wanted it to have vintage elements, but I didn't it to be so feminine it didn't look like a man lives there, too.  I think the bold colors and clean lines work well for both of us, and soft touches like gold frames, jadeite-colored accents and fluffy pillows make it comfy and vintage!

I found this vanity for $60 in an antique mall!  It's not in perfect condition, but I love it!

I got this hope chest a few years ago, and now I use it as a side table and for storage.  I also have a deal with Jacob: any jeans he is "saving to wear for later" will be safe from me and being thrown in the laundry if they are on top of this chest!
Also, the stick next to the bed is an arungu.  It's a Kenyan weapon and Jacob's choice for home defense, so criminals beware!

Jacob and I had people sign this picture instead of a guestbook.  Instead of storing away a book in a box forever, now it's a piece of art.

And here's a peek into my closet.  I store all my scarves on the door and sweaters and shoes on those little shelves.

I made the "Got Five?" Dallas Cowboys pillow for Jacob while we were dating.  It's a reference to their five Super Bowl wins, so of course Jacob heartily approves of this for our home decor!

  1. Oooohhh, this is really lovely, and really a neat blend of yours and your husband's taste. I'm so jealous of your waterfall furniture, too!

  2. The bedding is so lovely, flea markets and estate sales are the greatest places to find cheap vintage items.

  3. Cheaper + bigger = awesome combination! Congratulations on your new digs. Your bedroom is fantastic and it was a lot of fun to see where you're catching your zzz's these days, dear gal. Thank you for letting us peek inside your home again.

  4. Love that dressing table, really nice! We've set up home for two years now, and I hear you about wanting to have a vintage vibe without it being overly feminine in a sickly way. We've also been trying not to make it too masculine either, so I was glad to see your photos and get some inspiration. We haven't redecorated our bedroom yet, but have made a start with a few things. x

    1. Well good, I'm glad it's inspiration for you! I didn't want a frilly bedroom (even real vintage bedrooms were awfully frilly most of the time), but I didn't want to feel like I was living in a bachelor bad. Glad it looks like I struck a happy medium!

  5. The room looks great! I love the grey and navy color tones. It all about building furniture over time. My husband and I moved from a tiny one bedroom apartment to a huge 3 bedroom house, and I think it is obvious that we need more furniture! XD A lot of it is just one piece at a time, which can be hard when you are looking for quality and looks.

    1. Yes, it's so true! I just have to remind myself that it's okay to build over time. Unless you're wealthy, that's how everyone needs to do it!

  6. Okay, okay, I know this is weird, but I came back to this post for some inspiration after my in-laws revealed to me that they have waterfall furniture in their attic that they're willing to let me have. I'm moving to Texas next month and think I want to do a 30s / 40s bedroom, so I love looking at these pictures so much!!!
