Guest room

I have modern/classic taste and, unfortunately, inherited a Victorian styled bedroom set. Yikes. It's well made and in perfect condition (the Lexington Victorian Line) but so not my style. However, I have an empty 4th bedroom and am wondering if I should use the furniture in that room. I've been thinking of what I could do to make the bedroom cute; maybe navy and white to brighten the room up? A vintage blue oriental rug? White lamps, chinoisserie type vase with white flowers? Vintage nautical framed maps? White curtains with navy trim? I found photos of the bed, dresser (I don't have mirror and that appendage sitting on top of dresser in photo, thank goodness), and chest online. Is there any hope for making this into a cute guest room? The bed is actually kind of fun. Btw, also inherited an antique rocking chair that I could use in that room. The room has very nice hardwood floors and a nice window overlooking a pond with swans, and lots of trees.
