Shabby Chic Guest Room

To continue on upstairs with the shabby chic decor, next we have guest bedroom 1.  I got this idea in my head that I wanted to do yellow and gray room, and once the idea's there I have to do it!  Yellow shabby chic furniture is hard to come by so when I stumbled upon www.shabbyedupchic.com, gold mine!  Gayle had all these amazing pieces and even custom painted the headboard and dresses the exact color of yellow I wanted.  The piece that really caught my eye was actually the white dresser and mirror.  When Gayle was rehabilitating this piece she found a dime with the year 1916 on it and gave it to me.  Definitely confirmation it's from the early 1900's. Makes me wonder who had this piece back then, what did they use it for, what was their life like?  The little rocking chair and end table I actually painted myself to match the bedding.  The big open windows accross from the bed also give you a great view of the lake.  

Office Foyer & Stairwell

On goes the blogging of the house!  This is our personal office, David has ridiculous amounts of books, even more than is here so lots of bookshelves were super important!! This is a whole wall of shelves and I initially didn't really like just the plain white background so I had our wallpaper guy use the same wallpaper from my studio in the back wall of these shelves and also you saw it in the living room behind the TV.  Voila, I LOVE how it turned out.  The desk and chair go along with the shabby chic theme and are actually more functional than they look:-)  The starwell is really really tall and actually while we were moving I found this fabulous mirror that is framed in metal ceiling tiles, it's like 9 ft tall so perfect for that space.  The W is also made out of ceiling tile so a perfect and simple accent.  Again, I needed a cool light fixture but I didn't want just a normal chandalier so this one looks like water droplets and also has an interesting reflection.  We designed the floorplan to basically have no wasted space, so the short entryway foyer is the only hallway type space there is.  You walk in to another totally different capiz shell chandalier and a rug made out of winecorks.  I am ALWAYS losing my keys so found this nice little find on etsy to go right by the front door.  Sometimes I forget to put them there but most of the time now I can find them.  Here's where I found everything too:-)
