Guest Room Update :: Wallpaper

We're making progress, kids!  Last Friday we got our wallpaper hung (by the same lady who did our bathroom - I can't recommend her enough) and it looks A M A Z I N G !  Thanks to the vertical pattern, it even makes the room feel bigger and taller, an effect I hadn't really thought about (yay for happy surprises).  Coupled with our dresser and its cute little knobs, we've got one seriously cheerful guest room wall.  Now to accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!

At Home :: Sectional Love

We've been itching to get a sectional for years and in January finally took the plunge!  This graphite-colored beauty arrived yesterday and I LOVE IT!  It's the Jane Bi-Sectional by Gus Modern... and it's hella sexy.  Movie night at our place!

Gus Modern products are available from quite a few online retailers, but we ordered Ms. Jane through Philadelphia-based Hipster Home (awesome people).  Blind-buying anything is a little scary, let alone a huge piece like this, but I've got to say I would order from them again in a heart beat.  Dave, the owner, is one of the nicest and most helpful people on the planet: if you have a question, he has an answer, and a suggestion, and advice, and tips, and endless amounts of useful information.  Seriously.  I can't recommend Hipster Home enough.

So, just for fun, here's a before pic with our other sofa (which we're trying to sell, HINT HINT)!  It's amazing what a difference the sectional makes in our space - it feels much more complete and cozy.  What do you think?  Do you have love for the sectional, too?

Guest Room Update :: Dresser Mania

It's here!!! Our little Danish mistress arrived last Thursday (ahead of schedule - yay!), and now resides in our soon-to-be-realized guest room.  Unboxing this thing was quite an adventure, but once we got it out of its cardboard and plastic wrap cocoon, I was surprised to see the sweetest little knobs!  They weren't visible in the eBay photos, but I love the detail.  An unexpected treat, for sure.

Currently we're waiting on our wallpaper, which arrived several weeks ago in a semi-damaged and sad state.  A minor set back, but hopefully the replacement roll will get here soon!  After that, we'll be painting our little hearts out.  At the moment, the decision is between Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue or Warm Springs.  Both gorgeous colors, though Wythe has a bit of grey mixed in, which might be better with our wildly bright sofa.  Hmm...

Other than that, it's all about accessories... a rug, curtains/shades, artwork, etc.  For now, our 'bots Maggie and Herbert definitely approve of their new digs!
