Bedding has been decided...

Thanks to everyone who voted and called with their ideas. We finally made a decision and we are going with option #1.


After hours of searching paint colors and coming up with thousands of ideas we have finally come up with a great idea on how we are going to paint the room-it is very Chris and Kelly :) and I am sure the painter is going to pull out his hair when he sees my drawing. But we are keeping that a surprise until it is all done. So keep posted or even better come and see it when it is done. I feel so much better now that this has been decided. Now all that is left to do is decide on a changing table/dresser and glider. Oh- I think I forgot to share the crib we finally decided on. Here it is...



we chose the crib with the white and then a blonde wood. It looks great-contemporary but not too contemporary! I love it and I think we will be able to use it again :)(am I already thinking about baby #2?!?!). Have a great weekend.

House Update...

Things are moving along...we are done with insulation, the walls are sheetrocked and textured, and the stone is going on the exterior of the house. Once the sheetrock went up we couldn't believe how much bigger everything felt it really feels like a 6000 sq ft home! But it has made us even more excited about moving in. I have been a little stress case this week because I am beginning to freak out about when it will be done and how much I will be able to do when it is done. This baby is not slowing down so we have to keep on track. We are hoping to be in by the first week of January so be watching for the email asking, actually begging for your help. I can't imagine that in less than a month after we move in our little one will be here- how oh how will I ever get everything unpacked and organized?!? Here are some update pics- hope you like.

Chris and Natalie checking on the insulation- just how sound proof will it be in his office??

The stairs and to the left the dining room


Just to show how massive the fireplace really is- it goes up 24 ft. I am at the top of the stairs looking down....

Vote on Baby T's bedding....

So it has been brought to my attention that I have been a little slow on the blogging but I have not had a minute to sit down at the computer. We (well I) have been feverishly working on trying to pick Baby T (yes, she does not have a name yet...that is a whole different post!) bedding. As you all know, I am not really into the girly girl stuff and I cannot believe how much girly, frilly bedding is out there. What are cool, contemporary babies supposed to do?? So after days, hours, and many stops at all of the baby stores in Sacramento we have narrowed it down to two. So let me know what you think...oh and a little heads up is that the walls of her room are going to be aqua or even better Tiffany blue (J, I know you will love it!)

Option 1:


I am waiting for this to be shipped to me to see how soft the pink is. I love the design and have some great ideas of what we can do on the walls...

Option 2:


This is bright, fun and kinda surfer chick cool and since she is a Cali girl could be really fun...

what do you think?????????????????????
