Nursery is DONE!!!

The nursery is done and I'm in love with it.  It is completely random, fun, colorful... all the things I hoped it would be. And I'm so glad we got it all done before Wilhelmina arrived. Check it out! :)

The W finally found its home :) Lots of blood, sweat & tears (well no tears) went into these goodies on the wall.  The mobile came from Kuhl-Linscomb http://www.kuhl-linscomb.com/showrooms.htm from the adorable company blabla http://www.blablakids.com/welcome

Essential skills for any newborn http://www.etsy.com/transaction/58717548 and such a sweet sentiment that's been helping me keep a positive perspective while we anxiously await Willie's arrival.    http://www.etsy.com/transaction/56896501

My Edward Sharpe 'Home' paper collage finally found a home. Ha! My black baroque art prints http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackBaroque?ref=seller_info are still looking lovely and here's another one of my etsy treasures.  http://www.etsy.com/transaction/55740281 Thanks to Pinterest and some extra ideas that have popped into my head, we are gonna have some fun photo shoots once Willie arrives.  Here's a sneak peak at one of the key components of one of the first ones. :)

IKEA + Vintage + Random + Goodies from friends and family = FUN!!! And Lou Lou of course too...  Here is my original inspiration for the changing table... http://pinterest.com/pin/245868460876245905/

You knew it would end up in here somewhere. :)

I'd been eyeballing this diaper bag to the left, my entire pregnancy.

Some more goodies from Mom

Finally finished up this wall. Of course we love, love, love Joe's painting http://www.jobastudios.com/ and it was wonderful to finally get the awesome green Mission desk from mom in the room and get these photos up. And now our awesome kitties from the Alameda Antique Faire have a perfect home and Amy's amazing quilt http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmyDunnDesigns can adorn the desk until Willie gets her paws on it and never lets go. :)

We ordered all of our pics from www.mpix.com.  I am so happy with the quality and service.  Thank goodness the post office didn't end up totally losing them. Almost did, but luckily they surfaced after just a couple days.

I initially bought this awesome height chart as a gift for a friend and then ended up buying one for us, right before we got pregnant.  It's super fun.  The giraffe picture has been in my bedroom, everywhere I've been, my entire life and now I think it's time it became my little girl's. :) And the amazing alphabet oil painting was done by my wonderful sister.  Eventually we'll have gorgeous handmade creations (an animal and a food) for every letter of the alphabet.  How gorgeous is this first one??? :)

I keep seeing all kinds of embroidery hoop fun and had to get in on it. I'm not an embroiderer by any means, but I took a stab with these two and a couple more that I'm still not sure I'm ready to display yet.  This one is a lyric from Dylan's 'Forever Young'. My dad and I and Scott and his mom danced to it at our wedding. :)

This is a lyric from 'Yellow' by Coldplay. At our wedding, our bridal party walked in to a string quartet version of the song and we played the real version of the song after the ceremony was complete.  Loved it!

We love all the love between our kitties and baby girl Bacon while we've been working on this room. The pregnancy and everything that's come with it has really seemed to bond all four of our furry babies. Can't wait til they meet their new little sister. :)
