In 2 months, we'll be PARENTS!!! OMG. WHAT?! &%$!!!!

9/11/11 was an important and reflective day for 2 reasons.  Today was a somber day as it was the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.  We will never forget the innocent people who lost their lives and we will always be grateful for our freedom, blessings, and safety as Americans.  Today was also an eye opening day in the Schuh household because if all goes as planned, we'll be welcoming our Wilhelmina Grace in exactly 2 months. WHOA!!! Where the heck did the time go???

11/11/11 is speeding closer and closer every day. :) In the last two weekends we've gotten a lot of work done on the nursery.  It's still a work in progress, but here's some of the big accomplishments....

As always, our fearless leader/supervisor/QA specialist was in the nursery overseeing all recent work. :)
This is the chandelier mom & I found @ Patina http://www.manta.com/c/mvrcbn4/patina.  I finally sat down and cleaned the crystals and prepped it for hanging.
It was pretty dirty!
Clean and hanging (tucked out of the way for baby's safety, of course)  YAY!!!
We hung our gorgeous Joba original this weekend.  We love Joe's work.  This is our 4th piece in the house.  Check out his website!!!
Here is the chandelier up with our lovely gold clock (another downtown Melbourne find) and our fab Black Baroque http://www.etsy.com/people/BlackBaroque art prints up over the changing table.  I'll be adding one more art print later this week that got lost in the mail :(.
A little less glow... :) (Can you tell I really love this chandelier?! Hubby's not too keen on it, but I think he's OK now that it's tucked out of the way of the changing table.

One more of the glorious chandelier
I found this rather large W @ Jo-Ann Fabrics the other day and got inspired.  With all my random fabric and paper, this made sense.  This will hang over the crib with some other lovelies. Yay, more color!

I spent ALOT of time wrapping this hemp yarn around the top. Thank goodness I bought extra hot glue.

Last, but not least, I'm using the rocker that my mom used for my sister and I and it originally came from my Grandma. I love it and this is the original fabric, but I decided to switch it up.
I'm no upholsterer and this is absolutely not upholstery fabric either, but it will work for a while.
I love how worn out the arms are on this rocker.  Lots of love here!

Done! :)  Now I've used just about all of the fabric and then some from Mama Said Sew in Fort Collins. It's spread throughout the entire nursery.  http://www.mamasaidsew.com/mss-wp/
So happy the vintage trim I bought got put to good use too.  http://www.mamasaidsew.com/mss-wp/
