MAIYA :: Guest Room Mobile

We've had this Wallter mobile for over a year, just waiting for our guest room to fix itself up so we could hang it.  Now that all the big pieces are in place and we're focusing on accessorizing (yay), we FINALLY got it installed.  I've always had a soft spot for mobiles and the energy they bring to a space but, HOLY COW, I love, love, love how it looks with our wallpaper!  Talk about a match made in heaven... I'm off to go stare at this kinetic wonder--come join me!

MAIYA :: Guest Room Progress

We're making progress on our guest room (finally)!  A few months ago (in April, actually - how did that happen?), I put out the call to help us pick a rug.  After some great input from you guys, Pinterest people, and a good deal of nail biting, we finally committed ourselves to Dwell Studio's Facet Rug!  It. Is. GORGEOUS.  We love, love, love it!  And it looks pretty fantastic with our wallpaper and the crazy orange-y-red sofa bed.  Hooray!

Now we're just eager to get a bunch of artwork we have framed and hung, as well as a few other odds and ends (like these curtains I want to DIY).  Then it's open season on crashing at the Kimball's house.  So, come hang out.  We're friendly and we have a cute dog you can cuddle with at no extra charge!

MAIYA at Home :: Progress!

As you know, we're a little slow when it comes to finishing projects around here. *ahem* BRANCH WALL *ahem* And, as you also know, we've slowly been chipping away at our guest room.  Well, I have news Adventurers!  Over the last few weeks we actually made progress and checked not one, but THREE things off of our wouldn't-it-be-nice-to-get-this-done-one-day list.  What did we accomplish, you ask?  We finally got rid of the boob lights in our bedroom and guest room!  (Yaaaay!)  A sexy ceiling fan went up in the master bedroom and a playful-yet-modern new light fixture was installed in the guest room.  I love them both!

We also finally, FINALLY decided on a color for the guest room and, about a month after buying the paint, tackled the whole thing in a few hours.  You can see the color pretty well in the photo above but, for those interested in details, it's Palladian Blue from Benjamin Moore.  I also scored some pretty rad sheets for the guest bed at an estate sale over the weekend:

I mean, what could be cooler than sheets that say "sheets"?!  Not much.  SO, with all this progress, where does that leave us with the guest room?  I've got my eye on the Facet Rug from Dwell Studio and possibly making my own DIY version of these Pom Pom curtains from Anthropologie.  Then, we'll hang the Palm Mobile from Wallter that I've been itching to put up for over a year (!!!) and after that, get some art up on those bare walls!  We're so, SO close...
