My Mom Cave

Kate over at Centsational Girl is hosting a linky party about "Mom Caves" with HomeGoods sponsoring a giveaway! On Monday, Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is also hosting the Mom Cave contest.
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.
I'd also love to get a new desk chair like this one offered at 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"?
