I had the day off today - and spent it mostly lounging around and prowling the depth of ebay for pretty jewels and day dresses. I didn't find too much.. but I'm not worried because I'm heading home (east coast) on Wednesday night and I know that there are treasures to be found!!
I did snap a few pictures of my bedroom progress. It seems like this room is the one that's coming together the easiest.
YES! A bed frame. A nice old antique brass $50 craigslist find! I'm an adult now, no more box springs on floors ... ever again!
The letterpress table got kicked out when we found that dresser for a whopping $20. The little kiddie floral chair- a little pricier at $40. The polka dotted suit case that's somewhat tough to make out was found at Alameda last month and the rest of the things followed me here from Boston. Except for that pretty red silk dress - thank you Miss Stellate Vintage!!
Anyway - that's all I have to share today. The living room/dining room is a ridiculous mess that I fear might never go away .. or maybe it will once we find a couch, end tables, coffee tables, shelving ...... until then it's mostly a midnight maze of booby trap piles inviting you to trip and fall on that sacred quest for a glass of water in the middle of the night...
Oh, actually - one more thing! I did update my shop today - I'm really excited about all the pieces up right now... unfortunately the pictures are terrible since it's an awfully grey day (storms a comin' tomorrow) and so this apartment takes on bat cave qualities... Someday I'll figure out a good photo solution... Until then, take my word that this stuff is goood!

Your room is a dream!, just simply amazing. :)
What a lovely bedroom, I adore the dresses hanging there as art and inspiration.
such a dreamy space!
If you haven't already checked it out, there's an antique/vintage swap meet in Alameda that (I've heard) is worth the price of admission ($15)
Moving in/redecorating can be a gargantuan task. I've been renovating a house since December, living in it since April and still have boxes and shambles everywhere. I wish you better luck than I!
Hello dream world, can I live in you? xx
i love your bed! that frame is such a great find!
beautiful! i love the bed!
That bedspread is so dreamy! Your whole room is lovely,I would feel so inspired in it. Absolutely beautiful!!
You're room is the best! I wish mine was nearly as cool. We don't even have curtains yet
You have quite the knack for arranging objects and rooms-- something I still struggle with, a lot of my vintage collections are tucked away but I love how you use your dresses as decorative elements!
Wow, I am always in awe of how you decorate. And isn't craigslist the best for deals on antique furniture?
Your decorating style is so dreamy... The bed frame is perfect, and that coverlet is just too pretty for words. :)
Wow your room is so dreamy and romantic!
Sweet and charming! Simply divine! The photo with the red dress; is that a vintage Vanity Fair slip on the far right? ;)

It looks like you've made great progress in your bedroom at least! Your house must be the quaintest place ever; I love the tone you set through your decorations.
The boxes and piles will be reduced. Have faith! :}
Cute room, I knew I had seen that dress somewhere before x
This is really awesome! It makes me happy I love the 1930s vintage feel it reminds me of one of the bedrooms at my grandmas old house, but with a cool girl update :)
My goodness, your rooms are just magical! I really love your bedspread and the delicate dresses hanging on your wall. And that just has to be the most adorable kitty pillow I've ever laid my eyes on!

Adorable! It looks like a nice place to come home to for a sleepy Alice after visiting her wonderland.
Is it bad to say that I love you? I just found your blog today and I want you to take me away and train me under your wing. You're my fashion inspiration now. Thank you!
