It doesn’t take much to transform your kids room into a vintage wonderland. Here are some easy ways and ideas to give your kids room a vintage makeover.

Sweet Dreams

The bed is the main focal point in the bedroom. For a vintage bed, look for a farmhouse style one, just like the bed in picture (4). You can get one of those beds here. And you can always paint over it to add a pop of color to the room. Or a wooden bed would also work.
