I LOVE that word! Mom Cave. I first heard it from a HomeGoods commercial. And thought to myself-hmmm thats what I need. Our guest bedroom was quite the eyesore. Yes it had a bed for guest and yes the walls were at least painted but thats where it stopped. It mostly had become my dumping ground to hide my excessive garge-sale-going-excursions. (to which I have slowed down quite a bit).
I am a new convert of gray! I love gray/grey (however you like to spell it). Its such an amazing color- it can be warm, cool, neutral, masculine, feminine...its quite a versatile color. So 1st up gray walls! accented with white & a punch of yellow.

ReplyDeleteMy local paper did a feature story on my "Mom Cave" last month, it brought me lots of publicity. You can get a peek at it on my blog.
Thank you Elaine Griffin of NYC for creating the concept with Home Goods.
We all need and deserve a "Mom Cave"!
Oooooooh, I love it! You did a great job!

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a "mom cave" and you've interpreted it perfectly. What a fun spot to create and craft! This is the first time I've visited your blog, but I am going to be coming back :). Thanks for posting this. I'm visiting from Serenity Now.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of creating my "mom cave", too ... my husband has a "man cave" out in our barn loft, so I figure I deserve a "mom cave", too! :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your space - it looks awesome! The yellow curtains are my favorite. :-)

Hi, Amanda! I remember your blog from when it was called "The Eck Life." Your Mom Cave is stunning! I am currently in love with the gray/yellow combo. The window treatments are lovely, and you have accessorized everything so nicely.
