A Little Pink in My Life: The ‘Mom Cave’.

October 25, 2010 by Angie 33 Comments

This is my little ‘Mom Cave’.
It’s not a room….but just a small nook at the top of the stairs on our second story.
I have claimed it as my very own home office and creative nook.
The goal of this space is to be both functional and pretty.
I have included touches of my favourite colour~ soft pink.
{This is the only place you will find pink in the entire house.}
It’s a  place where I write blog posts, pay bills, watch a little tv, & read blogs.
Do a little scrapbooking or cardmaking.
You can find me here in the evenings…relaxing and sipping tea while I oversee bedtime for the juniors in the house.
Pictures of loved ones grace the shelves.
 {This one is of my parents on their 40th Anniversary.}
Treasured antiques live here~
like this doll from the 1920’s that belonged to my Grandmother’s sister who died at 14 in 1931.
Precious gifts made by my children rest here too~like this shadow box made by daughter when she was 11.
Words of inspiration have a place of their own as well.
It includes a place to receive sunshine and a bench for sitting & reflecting~
And a place for visitors to perch.
{And yes…you see snow outside already…today is October 25th}
This is where I sit to read many of your blogs~
So many talented women…so much inspiration to enjoy!
Thank you so much for letting me share my little ‘Mom Cave’ with you.
{To read more about how my little nook came to be and how it is organized, click here.}
Happy Monday!

    What an inspiration you are to me! I have a "Mom Cave", but it is such a mess that I am too embarrassed for anyone to see it! I love what you have done with your space! I think I can use some of your ideas to "spruce up" mine! 🙂

    nice niche that you carved out for yourself…I can imagine you sitting with a cup of tea and gazing out the window…a few stolen moments of peace and quiet.

    I didn't realize what a narrow space your nook is – your desk almost fits the width of it, doesn't it? Just a perfect size for a mom cave. I still love how you've done those shelves.

    What a whimsical spot, just the right touch of pink. I've always like those spots at the top of stairs, because you are still in the center of things, but in your own space, too. Great job! Lezlee
