Asian, vintage or both?

Oh . . . Amanda. She did it again. (See her comments from my previous post.) She has now made me think more and put my creative juices to work. At least my my mind's eye brain.

Amanda sent me a link at kukunest for children's bedding and they have the most adorable little girl decor ever. I love the boys stuff also, but their things only come in twin and we hope to move Noah out of his toddler bed into a full, which is what his convertible bed goes into. I'm still leaning towards the "Arrrrr" pirates! because they're just so cute and boy-ie.

So my two faves that I am now leaning towards are the Lantern Festival and Around the World. I really really like both and think they both fit my Little Miss's personality.

But, I'm totally into vintage things as well, which is what her bedroom is now. Vintage-y, chenille-y and a bit shabby chic. Here are some pictures:



I would really like to be able to use her current rug in the new room. Do you think it would work for either of these cute-sie rooms above at kukunest?

Here is what her room did look like as of earlier today before I took it down. (*tiny tear)

This rug is actually darker than what it appears here. It looks more like the colors in the rug in the above picture. I also wanted to note that the twin bed in her room was for mommy or daddy for middle-of-the-night wakings when she was tiny, but that bed is still in there, not to confuse anyone or anything!

So I want you to be honest. Will my vintage-y decor fit in one of these rooms? Most of the things for her room are things from my past and my moms (vintage dresses, toys, pictures), and then there is that rug, which isn't actually a vintage piece, but it's big and is an expensive rug, although I got a great deal on it at their outlet (from Land of Nod, one of my very favorite stores ever). I love vintage, but I also love different and modern. I'm really just 100% eclectic, yet I still like to match.

If I go this route (kukunest), I am thinking bright walls like red and bright pink. I love to paint, so once I pick the theme, I can then pick the colors and then get my wall ideations going! :c)

Thanks for your help!
