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.
