Farmhouse Bedroom Furniture

i'm moving to a house that was built in 1850 and then added onto a few times, I've looked all over for ideas and can't find anything that seems to fit correctly. i like the liberty of london from target and the simply shabby chic by target, all though i can't find the liberty of london in stores anymore and they don't have bath accessories and not enough bedroom choices, and i feel that the shabby chic would be to dull for me.

any who i need help with this i'm out of ideas. i want bright happy colors but i want them to be similar to what they would have used in the 1850s.

2 full and 2 1/2 baths
one bedroom with 2 sets bunk beds for 13yr old and 15yr old girls with a 1/2 bath
1 bedroom for 2 girls age 2 and 3 i have farm bedding for the crib that i LOVE
library white book shelves and a black leather loveseat and chair
kitchen wood walls, wood cabinets, butcher block with random bar stools (plan to paint them to add color)
dining room 2 corner cabinets, light oak table and chairs
mudroom with full bathroom, all wood walls, etc
under steps play area, tile floor and wood walls
master bedroom, darker furniture with beige/brown bedding

Look at the site Sarah's House. They just finished a farmhouse and the bedrooms are great. Also look at the mudroom and kitchen for more ideas! See the links below.

To have different decorating themes all throughout the house?

I like different styles for different rooms.
For instance:
A retro, 50's style kitchen
A Vanderbilt-style living room/lounge full of books and old furniture
Modern hallways and staircase with black and white photographs on the walls
Colonial farmhouse bedroom
Classic, vintage entry-way

Would this be way too much going on in one house, or would it be kind of cool?

it'd be cool

Okay, My story is about a 12 yr old girl with long silky blonde hair, big crystal blue eyes and a sweet personality. She's quiet and shy, clumsy and at times very difficult. She moves to a diplated farmhouse near a mysterious forest in an equally mystifying town. Her name is Celeste Parkwood.
Weird things start to happen; she sees shimmers in the air, hears voices in the air and feels invisible things nudge against her. She encounters many dangers, each one in which she is saved by an invisible force. In one of these dangers, her force is revealed; a black wolf with deep green eyes and scars on its body. Some of its body has blue bioluminence and it talks human language and explains about the Invisible World, the Obaku, warriors destined to protect the human race. From birth they are bonded till death, and ever since first breath the human is protected, the Obaku warrior risking their lives again and again. They are immortal, and after their human dies they go to the World of Forever Peace, Iris. It is a magical land where myths and legends are true and everything is pure.
But there are monsters intent on wiping out both the Obaku and the human race and claim the land that was once theirs millions of years ago.
Celeste finds the warrior within and also finds ot she is an Eternal, an Obaku-human hybrid (her mother has Obaku background) but she is special: she is the (haven't made up name yet) who is destined to save the world and her life is all writen down as a Prochecy in the (something) Tomes (or something like that)
In a desperate race against time, both girl and wolf must embark on a dangerous quest to not only save the human race, but the world itself...
Here's the first 2 pages:

“This is it.”

Celeste looked at her mother, trying to hide the disgusted look on her face. It wasn’t her mother’s fault. She had just tried her best.
No, it was her father’s fault. Celeste pushed the tears back and stared out the window at the surrounding forest, stifling a sob. Her father had become aggressive. He had smashed bottles, yelled and hit her mother and would go out for nights on end coming back smelling of beer and tobacco. He hadn’t paid bills, he didn’t have a job and had spurts of rage that made Celeste hurry upstairs and lock her bedroom door. After the divorce her father went out of control, yelling so loud it shook the whole house and leaving Celeste’s mother with ugly bruises and cuts. And so one night they packed their bags and left, reported to the police and stayed at the station for the night. Celeste never forgot the look on her father’s face as he was taken into custody, even after a week it gave her nightmares.
They had found a cheap house in a small country town far far away, and now here they were, hoping that they’d be left in peace.
“Celeste?”
Celeste woke up from her daydream and looked at her mother, who stared worriedly at her.
“Are you okay?” she asked. Celeste nodded.
“Yeah,’’ she replied. They got out and took their suitcases, looking at the large white truck parked outside the house.
It was a sorry sight, a depilated farmhouse four stories high. It looked wobbly, as if the first foot set in the house would knock the whole thing down. Celeste wondered if it was even safe to live in.
Four men emerged from the truck, wearing dusty overalls and gap-toothed grins. Three of the men were bulky, with wide girths, bulging muscles and mammoth hands. The other one was tall, lean and superior like, carrying his clipboard around and barking orders.
“How are you, madam,’’ said the lean man, striding towards them. “The furniture shall be ready any minute, and your house shall be complete. Although, the organizing is up to you.’’
Celeste stifled a giggle; the man had a strong French accent and his dramatic hand signals were enough to make anyone chuckle.
“Oh, we’re fine,’’’ said Celeste’s mother, looking red in the face.

That's all I've written so far. Do you like it? Is the plot good? Is the writing good? Please be honest, I don't mind critisicm because it makes me a better writer.
