" For this year&amp;#039;s collaboration with the DIY Network&amp;#039;s Blog Cabin, Good Housekeeping created three distinct looks that drew on the home&amp;#039;s location on North Carolina&amp;#039;s Crystal Coast. Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s contributing stylist, Frances Bailey, who designed the room, knew the area from her childhood. Three generations of her family spent their summers there. &amp;quot;It&amp;quot;s such a special part of the world,&amp;quot; she says. Of the three looks that she created, the clear winner with voters (who turned out in record numbers) was this Recycled Chic design, besting the all-American Nantucket Charm and the Bold and Beach-y look, with pops of saturated color. See the Finished Guest Bedroom The winning look draws inspiration from the soothing shades of blue that were right outside the cottage&amp;#039;s windows. Not only does this room provide a restful haven in soft, sea-glass colors, it also respects the environment by using repurposed materials. Perhaps the standout is the clever headboard made from vintage and new oars. Bailey collected them and drilled them onto lumber to craft the room&amp;#039;s focal point. Elsewhere, a life preserver finds new life as wall art plus guestbook; glass sea floats become lamps, and trestle legs plus a simple piece of wood transform into a wallet-friendly desk. Another way that Bailey enlivened the room: with pattern and texture. From the striped rug to the woven wicker chair, from the soft throw on the armchair to the rugged wood of the headboard, she mixed things up to create a space that has a very personal sense of style. Says Bailey, &amp;quot;The little surprises are what give a room its charm.&amp;quot; Go Behind the Scenes of Our Makeover "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
