Today I’m sharing another Golden Girls design post! I’ve continued to enjoy watching episodes on Hulu, especially since my daughter was sick last week and I’m now sick this week. Which means lots of late-night feedings that are perfectly paired with scenes of the girls’ late-night cheesecake snacks in the kitchen! But since I’ve already blogged about the Golden Girls’ kitchen style, today’s post is dedicated to the breezy, ’80s Deco look of Rose’s bedroom. Lots of rattan and a sprinkling of pastels give this space beachy style. I’ve played up the light, coastal look to create an updated version of the space.
But first, a few screen shots from the show. These images are from the episode Brotherly Love (Season 3, Episode 8). The screen shots are super blurry when enlarged, so believe it or not, you can actually see more when they’re smaller. Check out the episode for a closer look:
Ready to get the look at home? While many of the items featured below can be tracked down for a fraction of the price at your local Goodwill, I’m linking to the images used in the collage in case you’re tempted to buy anything you see in today’s post! Because it can be hard to find exactly what you’re looking for while thrifting. A word about the cloud wallpaper in Rose’s bedroom…I did everything I could to find something similar. This is the closest I came to discovering a match, but it’s a bit too “flower power” for the chill ’80s vibe I’m going for here. Perhaps you can find some locally sourced vintage cloud wallpaper, or maybe you can construct your own accent wall using cloud decals. And now…
Here’s what you need to get the look of Rose’s bedroom:
tropical pillows in peach and white
a woven side or coffee table
Here’s to bringing summer style home all year long! Thanks for reading. XOXO, Kate
Fun post! I certainly do like that ombre duvet from Houzz.
Now, this being a more-or-less G-rated blog, I’m not sure how you would do a post on Blanche’s bedroom… 😛
Ha! Blanche’s boudoir is so chic with that ’80s Deco furniture and tropical wallpaper. I’d love to do a post on the design of that space at some point in the future. Thanks for your comment!
Rose’s room was my favorite only second to Blanche. The tropical print on the walls in Blanches room was also seen in the 1978 film Hollywood Suite
I meant to say the dimensions changed…. For example when Baby, the pig was in bed, the room had more furniture and different cat pillows in it…
Please do more installments of these “Golden Girls” posts! You should do Sophia, Blanche, and Dorothy’s bedrooms.
Rose had more than one bedroom… Lots of stuff to admire… Cat pillows too.
