We have family coming in from out of town, and since my sewing room is temporarily in the second bedroom, we changed a few things around in the office to make a guest room.
I know I've only shown a few "in-progress" photos of this room, so here's a little recap:
The Before photo (dark mauvey pink carpet, yellow walls and ceiling, and oak trim):
And how it looks now with Orla Kiely inspired wall painting, hardwood floors, Moda's Wonderland fabrics, Ikea furniture, and new crown moldings and trim:

We decided that we really didn't need a desk, since we both use laptops, so the desk was moved to the basement. We did need the file cabinet, though, and were able to find one at Ikea that could double nicely as a side table.
Hubby outfitted the closet with shelves and outlets to hold the printer, cables, phone station, and wi-fi thingy.
The room is quite small, and since we rarely have over-night company, we went with a sofa bed. Again from Ikea, this one opens easily into a queen size bed. And with the addition of a pillowtop mattress pad it is really comfortable!
That's about it for this room. Still trying to get the living room into a workable arrangement. I'm not really happy with it, yet, but I did cozy it up a bit for fall. As soon as I can get some decent pictures, I'll share it with you. :-)

Very unique post! Love the graphics. Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
I love the simple but sophisticated design and the bold graphic really make a statement. Soothing neutrals and that wonderful pop of red. Lucky guests.
I love this room, Kimberly. So different from the clutter and chaos that is MY "office." Yikes! I think I feel some inspiration coming on!

The walls came out great! It looks like a super place to snooze for overnight guests and a happy place for work when the guests are gone.
Nice job- can't wait to see the living room!
I love your graphics too! And the color choice is spot on! What a great space!
PS I have a $50 cash giveaway going on on my blog right now. Come by when you get a chance! :)
Hi Kim! You have really been busy. Love the graphic murals. Your guests will love the room.
Kimberly, I love, love, love your color palette in this room! It's so bright and cheerful, and I love how you've decorated it too!
Looks like your rooms came straight out of a decorating magazine. Wow. Just gorgeous!
