Cache's New Room

Yay! We just got Cache's new furniture (thank you cortate furniture for great stuff at great prices) and got his room all set up. I am so excited! The bed is a little high, hopefully he doesn't fall off. I have been putting pillows around his bed until he gets use to it. So we are going to have some material I found made into a quilt for his bed and once that is finished I will be done with his room until I can finish the babies room and figuring out what to do with all the stuff I had stored in the baby room. Anyway, I am just so happy with the furniture and how it turned out. I will show pics later of the color I chose for babies room, I fell in love the minute I put it on the walls. It is such a great color. It's always fun to make some changes. :)

Utah...my home

Watching the motorcycles come home

Just wants to be outside

Driving the boat, pretty good for a 2 year old!

Unloading the four wheelers

Welcome to our cottage!

Last week Cache and I went to Utah so we could join our family for Raspberry Days in Bear Lake. It was amazing weather and we had such a blast...hopefully next time Dave will be able to join us. Cache loved Grandpa's boat and Aunt Kendall and Uncle Isaac's four wheelers. Whenever they would go out on the motorcycles he would have to stand on the porch watching them leave and then wait for them to return. We went out on the boat, however, the water was freezing. I got in just to swim and Clayton and Tiaunna were the only ones who would wakeboard. Lots of movies, fun times, and yummy raspberry shakes. We stayed in SLC the rest of the time and enjoyed the perfect weather. I think cache just enjoyed the fact he could run around all day outside and not fry. Sadly, we had to come home...it just seemed to quick.

My mind has been on overload...

I am now home from Utah, which was so much fun, and I have been rearranging my house like a mad woman on speed. I don't know why I get ideas in my head and then they have to be done right then with or without the help of my husband. So after going to my mom's house and seeing her room decorated downstairs I decided I needed all of the stuff in that room for my baby room. I had been trying to think of what I wanted to do with the room and once I saw the pink, cream, and silver's I knew that is exactly what I wanted to do. Think 1920's inspired silk's and satin's and oh so romantic. Having the loving mother I have, she agreed to let me have the curtains (half made) and the quilt (to take apart and make baby bumpers.) Still a lot of work to do, but I am sooooo excited. So now I just have to wait to get Cache's bed and dresser to arrive so I can get his room organized which will allow me to get the babies room cleaned out. We (cache did help pushing the book case into the office) moved furniture and boxes of fabric from the soon the be babies room into the office, where now I have to figure out where to put all that stuff. I wonder if when homebuilders design homes they think, hmmm...how can I make this home have as little storage as possible. I don't know how whoever built our home could have had so many opportunities to put storage in places and just thought, nah. Oh how I loathe that person right now. Anyway, here is my question to anyone who knows an answer; I am using cache's crib and dresser which are a dark cherry stained pine wood (I think it is pine.) There are so many scratch and bite marks, how can I sand and restain it? Can I just use regular stain? Do I need to put a finish on it? Will it work or will you be able to tell that I just refinished certain parts of the crib? Anyone know?

So next blog I will blog about my adventures in Utah and Bear Lake, it was so beautiful. Until then here are some amazing nursery rooms from projectnursery.com...
