Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is having a Mom Cave contest. I love the idea of a 'mom cave.' Men always seem to be the ones that get to have a man cave so it is nice that Home Goods is sponsoring a giveaway for the best mom cave.
This is the first house that we have ever lived in that had room enough for me to have my own special space. Gary has had an office in two of the last houses that we have lived in and it was nice to have an extra bedroom to use however we needed to.
This is a space that I read in, blog in, and scrapbook in. I love it. So let's take a tour.
This is the view from outside of the room.
I ordered the desk online at Target. Some other blog friends had the same desk and assured me that it was a great buy and it has been. I love the open storage and how big it is.
My printer station.
The bookshelves are from JCPenney's. I had one that was in Caden's room and so I used it and ordered another one.
A print from Red Letter Days and a sonogram of my son. It was a gift from my mom.
The bookshelves hold my books and some of my pretties. I made the print at the top of the shelf.
The desk holds a lot of things. Some of my favorites:)
A cute cup to hold pens and a reed diffuser, both from Home Goods.
My computer station holds all my crafting supplies.
A print of our home in Florida.
Since I don't have drawers, I use baskets and plates to house my papers and as you can see, my paint swatches.
Initial plates with the initials of our family.
More storage and finally a look from my desk.
The only thing that my 'mom cave' is missing is a sitting area. I would love to buy a chair and and have a spot to read in. I have a seat at the desk but one a little more stylish and comfortable would be great.
Thanks for taking the tour of my mom cave with me. Go see all the rooms that are linked up at Susan's. There will probably be some really great rooms.
