HGTV's Design Star Team Creates a Shabby Chic Suite with Help From Sara Evans

By Vern Yip

This bedroom has its share of hits and misses as well. The ingenious creation of large-scale headboards from old, painted doors nicely anchors the wall and gives the space architectural detail and visual impact. Painted wood furniture is a real hallmark of shabby-chic style and the blue wooden dresser inserted between the two nightstands furthers the eclectic flavor, while adding a very feminine and playful touch. In the creation of a bedroom of this style, it is always important to keep the tone cozy, light-filled and easy, whereas high contrast and deep colors create tension and dynamic energy.
