Vintage Devotee's Bedroom Tour // It's a Closet With a Bed?

- I don't have my own place yet, but I do have my own room, and so all of my decorating dreams and vintage collection gets packed into one rather maximalist bedroom. Ten years of thrifting bargain finds and browsing antique malls have gotten me this far, I just hope one day I can expand into a full haunted house of my own.

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
It's a silly sentence, but you're truly living "it's not hoarding if your shit is cool".
Love this insight into your world ♡
Ha! Thank you! 🖤✨
I love the “glam noir cabinet of curiosities for the maximalist 40s Hollywood starlet” aesthetic you have going in this room. There’s something comforting about being surrounded by all of your favorite things in one room.
Moths: I’d think they’d see your collection of preserved moths and butterflies on display and decide messing with your suits just isn’t worth the risk.
I had the exact same thought about the moths!
Thank you Elizabeth! I like to be in a jewelry box essentially 😂✨
The Dutch flower paintings are so lush and jewel-like - totally "you". The whole bedroom seems to me to reflect your personal style very well 😊
Thank you Mara!
Impressive organization for a small space. I highly recommend keeping the shades drawn to prevent sun bleaching of any of those precious handbags. My mother gave me her vintage handbag collection when she moved several years ago. She had previously placed them on display on a wall next to her closet. Sadly, several of them became sun damaged. Thanks for sharing your beautiful room!
This!
Thank you! And no worries my room gets very little sun, is north facing and I've always got the blinds down 😅
I actually had a dream of you announcing that you found a place and were moving! 🤔 I know it's weird that I'm dreaming about a stranger on the Tube but let's just call it foreshadowing and leave it there. Love the room!!
I'll take it!! 🔮 Thank you!
Thank you for indulging us nosey folls, you room is beautiful! As a fellow maximillist, it's such a joy to see something that isn't a plain white box!
A sterile white room makes me think that the person who lives there has a sterile mind. No imagination. No color to their life. No warmth. That will never be you!
Thank you! Maximalisim forever 😅✨❤
Sitting here living vicariously through your collection. Once I had my tiny human I knew my days of having nice things on display were over.
Not for ever. They grow up and leave home! 😀
@@anniehosking2408 and then you get to repurpose their room into a sewing room.
Shelves up higher than untrained humans can reach🧐
2 of my kids have lived with me into their 30’s and my 28 year old wants to return. It’s hard to figure out this adult stuff! At 62 I still don’t have a clue, except I also love Dutch masters!
If you train them well they might leave your cool toy-looking things most of the time. 😂
I say this, of course, as someone with two cats and a tiny human and all three of them are menaces with stuff from shelves that aren't plants. ... One of the cats is still a menace with the plants too.
Long ramble less long: I feel you on this front
My mother and husband call my jewelry my “Dragon Hoard” I currently have them stored in hanging containers in the shape of aa little black dress, with clear pockets on one side and hook and loop to hang my necklaces on the other. All my other accessories are in decorative boxes in my closet. I love the dark Dutch florals. I was going to get wallpaper like that for my Master Bath, that I am calling “decayed mansion” style. I painted my own bathroom vanity an almost black purple, and then hand painted moths and berry vines all over it. Above it is an ornate black mirror, a black crystal chandelier and on the vanity I have crystal accessories I painted black line bugs on, then baked to make permanent. I found off a set of white pottery trash can, soap dish, liquid soap dispenser that have old master black line floral illustrations decorating them. I think we have eerily similar taste in decor Bianca. How fun!! I loved your tour!!!
Dragon hoard - I love it. I'm more of a corvid myself.
decayed mansion is goals, and that's all there is to it ✨ Thanks Thea!
@@rachellee.9389 I respect the Corvids!
I think one day, I'm going to try to reproduce one of those beaded box bags. They are absolutely gorgeous! All the sparkle of glitter and none of the annoying glitter shedding.
I love that we got to see The Closet Historians closet. Thank you for sharing
Getting brooches rather than drinks is a good way of looking at things. I guess the drawer ends up representing a sizeable hangover!
It's a great room. The room of a creater.
Thank you Carol!
As I said to a friend this morning who was “apologizing” for the fabric she bought on a recent trip… it’s better stress relief to buy fabric (or brooches) than to get blackout drunk and go home with a serial killer….
PS you may be able to get a CD drive that plugs into a USB port on your computer… you only need to bother when when you need it.
Words to live by! 👌🏽
Exactly, I could buy mysterious substances, but brooches last forever 😂 Sadly I tried buying an external drive and couldn't get it to work/play 😩
Stuff you Love, not drugs or booze!
Your so creative how about a flat screen tv hung from the end of your canopy bed that can flip up towards the ceiling when not in use?
@@Msmeohmy52 Alas I just use my laptop to watch things so a TV is simply not necessary in my life 😅
@TheClosetHistorian, you need to download the programme to play it, you dont just plug it in. If you want me to look it up, let me know. You probably got it sorted but i can look it up if you need me too. Love your room
Oh nosey me feels so lucky to have been granted a tour! Your room is absolutely beautiful and so very you. I'm glad it brings you so much joy. Every corner is delicious 💚
Thank you Ailsa!
I love the word maximalist and think I might be one too 😁 I live alone and have 1 bedroom, livingroom and kitchen and bathroom, so when my clothes/handbags/shoes needed more space I moved my bed to livingroom and made my bedroom a big walk in closet or "boudoir" and there I have my vanity, my clothes, shoes, handbags and all accessories stored nicely. I use those IKea Billy bookcases to store my shoes and handbags, I have 4 of those 2meters tall and 40cm wide and if you buy some extra shelfs you can fit 24 pairs of shoes in one Billy bookcase 😊
I relate so much to some of the vibes of living in your childhood home as an adult- it’s certainly… a time, and despite how much time I spend in my room, it’s still largely dictated by the previous occupants and the owners of the house- my parents and family. Decor remains from when it was my mom’s room, and from previously when it was my sister’s, in addition to things from my college days, relics of my childhood, and the few recent purchases and finds from the present. It’s sort of a mélange of different people’s objects, but I still have sone things to it that are my own! And of course, I relate to the amount of space devoted to clothes/accessories, and the things still packed away for years since the last time I had my own space. My closet was recently outfitted with a second rod hanging below half of the first, for more blouse storage, which it desperately needed 😅 That’s even with my winter clothes in storage 😭 And don’t even get me started on how much costume jewelry I accumulated the last few years of high school into college. I went a bit crazy with statement necklaces and all sorts of different styles for a while there before I settled on the more calm and classic jewelry I wear now 😅 All of those things take up space on my vanity 😂
I think the things that most make this room feel like my own are the habits and daily routines though. I know what it feels like to sit in my bed, place my dice on my side table, and open my laptop to play DnD. I know the pathways I travel from underwear drawer to closet to vanity each morning when I get dressed. And so on. Those routines, locked geographically in this space, make me feel like it’s my own! I’m curious if you feel similarly?
I love those Dutch florals...so moody without being black and grey
love a bedroom/wardrobe tour!
My fiancee is Finnish and she has never had a single thing eaten by clothes moths. Apparently they're not much of a thing in Finland - not sure why, maybe the -20 c cold just destroys them so thoroughly that they can't keep perpetuating their life cycle. Anyway, I'm so jealous. I've had so many things damaged - from mend-able to utterly destroyed - by moths. I do my best but there's really only so much you can do short of either coating all your clothing in extremely noxious chemicals, having literally one jumper, or storing all your woolens in a chest freezer which is what I intend to do in the future. Either that or just live in Finland, mythical land of no moths (apparently.)
That cat brooch is so sweet 🥺
Lovely decorations. Your house will be stunning. And I would have bought that golden parrot, too. Or at least eyed it for a while 😉
Thank you Rara! The parrot was inexpensive so I had to have it 😂
Love that warm light and all the glittering colours. So relaxing.
Thank you!
I loooove the colour scheme
Thank you!
This was so fun! Really loved seeing all your various collections. As for names for the parrot: I'm fond of Desmond, for some reason.
Yay! Excited for this one! Thanks B! 🖤
My inner magpie is satisfied ~ so many pretty, shiny, sparkly things ~ ☺️
Can't wait to see your dream house set up one day!! 😍
I imagine those brooches would look lovely displayed in on of those multi-glass-drawer dressers.
Also!! I'm in love with that cat brooch!!!! 😻
Thank you Rachel!
Sparkles! 🤩
Thank you! That was a real treat. I love looking at your beautiful things. You keep them so neatly, too.
Thank you Elaine!
Thanks for showing us your space! Love the vibe you have going on and all the cloches that are both functional and beautiful.
Thank you Meagan!
Thanks for taking us around your private space. I love the gallery walls. What a beautiful way to give your soul some breathing space. I don't have room for fake spider webs, there are too many natural ones to constantly deal with!
Your golden parrot has interesting literary connections to Perry (In Cold Blood).
Thank you Kaytie!
Yay! I was just thinking "I want to hang out with Bianca for a bit" and was about to hunt up and old video, but no! There is a new one :)
Thank you!
I loved seeing your room and all the little details of decor! Such a beautiful dark athmosphere!
Thank you Agnès!
Thank you for the tour. Its always fun to see how people decorate their room. The treasures you have accumulated over the years are amazing.
Thank you Sally-Ann!
I have a Dutch Floral print I have had for a while. Currently, it is hanging up in my living room. So, when I saw yours, I could not take my eyes off them; so beautiful. Love the tour.
That was so fun! You really are great at finding ways to store your collection! Your displays are gorgeous.
Thank you!
Thank you, you are generous for letting us see your bedroom, it was cool seeing it. I wish I could move back home. Because really, we all just need room to sleep in to hold our stuff. I'd like to see your sewing room. The designer in me says the dresser should be colored antique gold.
The lamp you inherited from your grandma is amazing!!
My bedroom looks like the battle ground after a war between Laundry and Library and there were no survivors. A high shelf houses my collection of wine goblets that I can't drink out of (gifts like a hand painted one that can't get wet and a gag goblet that holds an entire bottle of wine, friends are weird). Bedding is colourful, mismatched, and rumpled. Cat hair covers everything. A giant framed Monet waterlily print leans drunkenly behind the door. Pure chaos, my sanctuary lol.
Cat hair is required and a worthy price to pay for companionship ❤
Love the still lifes with skulls!
Your bedroom is so cozy and charming. I love how you organized your beautiful things. 💙🦋💙
Thank you Cassandra!
Thank you for the tour. Your style is impeccable and very very inspiring!!!
Thank you Antonella!
Your style is so unique and beautiful
Thank you Nadia!
Loved the bedroom suite tour!!! Love your stuff especially the Dutch Florals!!!! Just beautiful!!! 💖💖💖
Thank you Alice!
Love your hint about downloading art work from museums!!👀👀👀
The room looks so you!!! It's nice to hear that it is the way you want and the items that fill it, bring you comfort. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you Peggy!
I can't wait to see what you end up doing with whatever historical house you wind up purchasing. I'm envious of your sense of interior decor style!
OOOO what a fabulous room!!! So much beauty and detail. A sanctuary. Thank you for the links to the paintings xxx
Thank you Alexandra!
Love the organization in the closet! and sparkly things.
Thank you!
What a beautiful room and collection of vintage items.🤗♥️
Thank you!
Thank you SO much for introducing me to the term "hair receiver"! I've been using an old kleenex box that doesn't exactly add to the vibe of my vanity. So excited to start my hunt for a good Art Nouveau option!
The full on “OOOOOOOH” I did when you opened the brooch drawer.
My aunt used to have a jewellery draw that she’d let me play in as a kid as this took me waaaaay back!
God your style is just so cool! Thank you so much for the tour!
Thank you Ida!
I stumbled upon your channel not too long ago and I am so happy I subbed😀 I absolutely love your videos!
Thank you Liset!
Thank you for the tour, you use all your space very well by building up smart idea.I love the gallery wall.💕
Thank you Brenda!
Love your style of decorating!
Thank you Flynn!
Fantastic. Enjoyed the journey very much. Loved your design, brings out your style perfect.. thanks for sharing.
Thank you Linda!
Love your bedroom, it reflects you so well. 😍And I also love your hair (colours) 👌
Thank you!
I'm impressed with tour storage skills! Love the Dutch pictures!
Thank you Lesli!
I loved a peek into your life through your bedroom. your closet is CRAZY NEAT AND TIDY! So beautiful! Thanks for the video
Thank you!
Love your eclectic style@
I love how you decorated the space and still shows your personality. I love the posters and the brooches, I have one of my grandmothers that is a big silver snowflake that I would love to wear one day. I can see you having a spare bedroom turned into a closet in your own home.... This is what I would imagine of how I will decorate my very own house one day. I do have an idea if and when you want to up date your dresser; I would paint it an emerald green (or any green you love) with black hardware on the front. Now if you want to add another step or two to it; could use a stencil (maybe one of bats or moth/butterfly) on the outside with black paint and in the drawers find a peel-and-stick wallpaper to put on the inside. Thank you for the updated tour of your room!! :)
Oh my goodness...that lamp on your bedside table is to die for its so beautiful! You have such a cozy bedroom...thank you for taking us into that private part of your world. Dutch flower paintings are always something that I try to recreate in quilt form I'm so drawn to those particular colors they are so comforting.
Thank you Margo! Also a dutch still life quite sounds AMAZING
Loved the tour!
Parrot as in Gustave Flaubert's 'Un coeur simple'--'A Simple Heart'--in which an elderly lady, Felicite, believes her parrot Loulou is the Holy Spirit. Your bedroom is delightful!
love the dutch floral prints and thanks for the tip re public domain prints!! gonna check that out now...
For real! I was thinking the same thing.
The government actually has a printing office that sells posters for a small amount of money. I bought one of a series of posters created in the 50's (I think) for each state. It cost me $16 and is quite large. And fabulous! I believe you can get prints of vintage photos too. Or that might be the national archives???
@@liddybird3608 also good to know.
Your room is so you it really just screams your style I love it xx
Thank you Beverley!
I love the brass snake on your wall in the intro and and end. I need one in my life .
Thanks! I grabbed it at Michaels crafts this last Halloween season
Love your makeup & hair/do!!! Beautiful!!!
Thank you Alice!
... and yes, I want the golden parrot... badly 😂 Love sent to you, you gorgeous creature. Miss Fitz x
Thanks for the tour!
Beautiful room!
Cool stuff Bianca ! Thanks for letting us peek on your lil corner of the world. I'm a Maximus big time and resist putting my pretties away even tho my hubby thinks I should pare down lol lol
Thank you Dianne!
From one jewellery enthusiast to another: never EVER feel like you need to explain your passion. Them folks who have 3 pairs of earrings and one silver chain will never understand people like us :D Love the video, the dark and moody vibe is not necessarily what I want in my own home, but I do appreciate seeing it at someone else's, especially done so well. Plus you've given me a lot of inspiration for jewellery storage, which is a bit of a pickle for me because I struggle to make it practical *and* pretty. All the best!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I love the prints and gallery wall, as well as the lamps. Can’t wait to see what you do when you buy your own house (crossing my fingers for you that it happens soon!)
Thank you! I dream of wallpapers and epic curtains...
Gorgeous.love it..
I absolutely love your room! It's so cosy and pretty, looks like a great place for a nap or a good book!
(editing to add that can can buy external disk drives which is annoying but better than not having one at all. I have one and I love it)
Thank you!
Very nice, my dear. Please do not apologize for your personal prosperity, it has allowed you to preserve and share such lovelies and hone your talents for the benefit of one and all. For that we thank you.
I didn't think printing my favorite paintings for posters was an option 🤯I've been enlightened.
I am sure your realize that your arrangements and photography of those "random" objects an art until itself. Beautiful & intriguing.
Thank you Ruth!
Whatever you have got on your eyes here.... seriously stunning 🫀🫀🫀
Terra Moons cosmetics make magic eye shadows 🤩✨
The bedroom is beautiful 😍 very cozy
Thank you Abby!
On Bianca. What a privilege to let us into, and view your gorgeous bedroom. Simply devine, as is your commentary as usual. Miss Fitz (London gal) x
Thank you!
Beautiful Bargain Beaded Box Bags 😍
I think you might be a broach dragon! But you don’t just hoard them, you covet them. Love it!
Thank you 🙏🏻 for the tour. If your bedroom is any indication, your home will be spectacular! 👍🏻
Thank you Jacquline!
Thanks for the Tour of Your Treasures!!!! and Your Mind !!! Gorgeous and love the idea of Black on Black Flock wallpaper ...Your Treasures would look even more DIVINE!!!
Thank you! 🖤
Really love the style and all the little personal touches! I’m in the process of giving my own apartment a forest-gothic-art deco makeover, so I take a lot of inspiration from you for decor! One thing you may want to keep an eye out for on Craigslist or other second-hand places is an armoir or chifferobe, which is basically a closet on one side and drawers on the other, and many of the ones from the 1920s, 30s, and 40s were cedar-lined and would be fantastic for storing your vintage suits. They’re really beautiful, often with “Waterfall” style woodwork that is gorgeous, and since today people are often trying to get rid of them from older family members, they can be found for (fairly) cheap. I’ve seen them posted at as low as $50-75. The more expensive ones might be listed for $100-250, but cheaper ones can definitely be had.
Lovely room. I like the dark colors and reflections from the glass
Thank you Donna!
You are my opposite in style, but I always appreciate your style and loved this trip to the dark side.
i had to re watch this --- remembered your getting pictures printed out from online photos and i'm doing the same now, only at office depot.... hoping it comes out as nice as yours did!!!
Your handbag collection is goals 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you Pamela! A decade of bargain hunting 😂✨
the flower lamps are really beautiful, 😍 I think the color green of the walls helps to show the pictures, the flowers on them very well.
Thank you Esther!
Love your style- all of it.
Thank you Thelma!
Thank you for sharing! So interesting 😀
Thank you!
I’m reminded of the style of Christine McConnell. I love her work too. When I grow up I want my home to look as spectacular. A little from you, a little from her and a lot from me. ❤️💙💚💜
I love the vanitas paintings
I'm looking forward to when you buy a house of your own, I will love seeing what you do with it. I've gotten a few ideas from this video, already.
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful room!! Surrounded by all your lovely things!! I think it's a perfect balance of light and dark. The only thing I would change is the color of the dresser. I would sand it down to the bare wood. Stain it with a black stain so the wood grain would show through. But as for the walls. They're a nice pallet for your beautiful pictures on the wall!!!!
Thank you! That sounds like a fabulous make-over for the dresser, can someone come do it for me? 🤣
Hi Bianca!! Very impressive & totally you.. Love your Dutch floral paintings & your gallery wall & how that make you happy.. Totally in love with your flower lamp from your paternal grandmother….
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Thank you Deana!
What a curious room and so tidy! I find it amusing that "vanitas" (still life paintings with skull) means "emptiness" and yet your room is anything but empty. I like the parrot, also your tiny kitty, the tea cups and the little, braided picture frame. You have a nice Rachel Ruysch bunch of roses and also an interesting container on the shelf by your brown shoes. Very nice, Bianca!
Thank you Penny! Very full instead yes 😂
