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...

The Details:

Fan - Altus Ceiling Fan by Modern Fan Co.

Light - Pop 2 Flushmount by EuroFase

Paint - Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore

Guest Room :: Rug Wars

Wow.  It's been almost 2 months since I had a guest room update... and you know what?  It still looks the same.  I KNOW!  We're horribly, horribly slow with our home projects.  But, I'm planning on going to the paint store this weekend, armed with my wallpaper and fabric samples, and deciding on a wall color for good.  I swear it!  I'm going to finally pick a color.

Meanwhile, since I like to think about one million home-related things at once, I've been checking out possible rug options for the guest room and I've narrowed it down to three.  What?  The yellow and cream thing?  No, no, I'm not obsessed.  LIE.  I'm totally loving it right now.

Anyway, what do you guys think?  Rug one, two, or three?

Rug One: Lines Rug by Blue Pool Road

Rug Two: Dead End Rug from CB2
