I don't know if HomeSense (Canadian version of HomeGoods) counts but thought I'd join in the fun!
"My Mom Cave"
For years, men have had their guy hang-outs in the home but lately, more and more women are carving out some territory for themselves.
In today's busy world, where women are always on the go, it is essential for them to have a place to relax and recharge.
In our home, this place is called my "NEST".
I love this tiny space for the feeling of coziness and peace that envelops me as soon as I walk in.
Here, I can enjoy all of my "down-time" activities....
...in a space that was
...decorated by me!
Even if I don't win this contest, I'm planning on getting some new lamps and I LOVE the ones at HomeSense/HomeGoods.
It is wonderful to be able to escape to my space and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and a snack.
Mr. Delight transformed this old pine bookcase into a great TV stand with shelves to decorate!
In this pic above, do you see the closet door beside the bookcase?
This is what is inside - a dish pantry that Mr. Delight built for me. Another joy!
This gives you an idea of what the room looked like before it became my "nest".
Special thanks to my dear hubby for fixing up the room JUST FOR ME!
Am I a mom in her "cave" or on her "nest"?
oh my gosh, i love everything about it! its so cozy and exactly everything i love. so cozy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room! Cozy and inviting!!
ReplyDeleteDD, your Mom Cave looks so warm and welcoming. I love how you've decorated it and I think the chandy adds an elegant touch. Just beautiful! It looks like a wonderful space to just curl up with a book and relax.
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful NEST...it's so warm and cozy! Good luck with the contest.

It is perfect! What a difference you made in that room! I actually like the term "nest" better than cave, but they didn't ask my opinion!
ReplyDeleteLovely room and I love, love, love that dish pantry!
