There are lovely vintage flower prints you could look for - of get reproductions - and then theme the rest of the room to them - Use white wicker and make it look like a garden room??
If you have thrift stores (especially small, non-chain ones) around you, check those out. Great finds for furniture and fabric. You could make up to 2 pillowcases from a pretty $4 dress/nightie with a pattern you like.
I don't know your sewing ability, but simple curtains are fairly easy to make. The previous poster's idea was good about lamp shades. When the light shines through, it casts a wonderful glow.
Delaney, This may not be vintage, but I used branches from the woods in three rooms. I striped the leaves off and hung them from the ceiling with cup hooks and fishing line. Then I added twinkle lights and hung silk florals that hang down. It was adorable in that house. Also I placed timers onto the cords. I placed plastic piping to send the cords through and down the wall to the connection. I painted the piping the color of the wall to camouflage it. I added in one place where the timer wasn't a push button on-off cord . So at a touch of a button the lights were on. It was lots of fun and gave a great look from the outside at night.
Why not find pretty patterned papers and decoupage on things in your room such as lamp base or lamp shade, or place a patterend peice of paper or cloth under a glass top on a table. There are lots of pretty fabrics to be found on the I-Net. You might even make pillows and matching curtains with flowered fabrics. Good luck, hope this helped.
