Have you tried painting the walls with a vintage color of paint? Something that looks like it's been there for awhile. Or try an old vintage floral wallpaper.Also take into consideration all the furnishings right down to the bed.The bed would have to be vintage looking as well, place an old quilt found at a flea market or auction or your bed. You could also try hanging old black and white photo's on your wall. Remember if you're going for true vintage, don't have carpeting on the floor. The floor would have been wood for that time period. You could add an area rag rug as an accent. Try hanging a vintage wedding gown or clothing as well from a shaker style peg board. Also old metal toys, an old trunk, an old rocker an old spinning wheel or sewing machine. (Yes these too could be added into a bedroom). Make sure the bed is like the old iron ones or even wooden, some vintage beds even had wicker headboards. Try going to a flea market or antique dealer and find some vintage stuff, like camera's old silver plated brush comb & mirror set. Make sure the curtains are sheers or lace and they would have been in an off white. You could also go to a local craft store and pick up some caning and add it to your window to make your window either look like stained glass or to give your window glass a treatment to look like the diamond patterns you see on cottage window. Keep wood work : trims around doors and windows and mop boards, crown moldings, and chair rails all in a dark wood tone color. Wood was considered something of beauty back then so, no one would have painted overtop of these things with white paint. Try to tie in your trimmings with the floor color. Cheval mirrors were popular back then as well and vanity dressers with the vanity bench. (not just any vanity though, you would have to have a wood one usually in a dark wood tone, best bet to go to an antique dealers for this). You could also have as a prop an antique doll carriage with a Bebe Jumeau Doll in it. (Google images on Bebe Jumeau Dolls).

Answer
You need to look on Craigs list and the local buy/sell ads for the furniture.
The bedding you want is a bedspread set not comforter. These you need to start scouring the used clothing stores for. Get to know the people in the thrift and consignment shops..Leave your number and they may even call you when a set comes in if they don't have one..White sets can be dyed the color you want by the way. You can even find a small quilt and have a seamstress add the ruffling..It's not expensive to do. Or get a chenille bed spread with a frilly skirt.
