Answer
For chic, look into the decrating styles from that period. Your last post with this question had a few good ideas.
I would run picture rail mouldings a foot below the ceiling on the walls and suspend framed artwork from the mouldings in a mix of French art prints (link) and B&W pin-up photography. This hanging method was the style of the time and is instantly retro while being unique. (see link.)
A canopy bed with lots of satin and lace would work well, too. A makeup vanity with wall mirror from the period would fit in well. Set candles on tables, possible wall candelabras. A 1950's rotary phone on the nightstand would be awesome...
Hide any modern technology or anything that does not fit the theme inside furniture to really make someone walk into 1950 when they enter the room. Black and white with splashes of pink and red seem to suit the look.
Take your time to think it out before buying mix and match stuff and hoping it will work together and you will do fine.
For a cheap, tacky teen approach, hang posters of the pin-up girls and use that wallpaper border idea :)

Can anyone tell me what brand or kind of dresser this bedroom furniture is?
Sapphires
I have a cream colored with gold trim dresser and headboard. I wanted to know what brand it may be and also if it were antique? I am selling them, and was curious how much I could get for them. Here is a link:

Please look at the one that say French Style Dresser and 4 Piece Antique Bedroom set.
Thanks!
Answer
The style is called French Provincial. They appear old (1950's?60 y/o) and not antique (about 100y/o).
They appear to be good prices for the set.
