You might see Mickey Mouse painted at the back of a kid chair or bat man on the computer table. They look good but they will really not compliment the vintage look you are trying to achieve. Find some old wooden furniture that is roughly aunt in light colors.
The paint might look cracked or torn from some spots. This is not actually cracked but it is painted that beautifully. Pick up some unique pieces out of them and see if they complement the look you want to achieve in your room.
