A Mom Cave for the new Mommy!

I am so excited to be joining Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch and Home Goods for their Mom Cave Contest !
Last week I shared with you the room we have created for our daughter Katie and her new baby girl Addison.

How we went from this.....

to this....  for only $106.00!

And here's the breakdown of what we did so far.
New paint  in the color Spa.  1 gallon for $20.
Bead-board wallpaper.  2 double rolls for $26.
New quilt on clearance for $20.

Hubby made the chair-rail from scrap wood and that was free!  Katie's old crib got repaired and painted!
Cost $16.
The bolster pillow is from Home Goods on sale for $7.

Pottery Barn bedding free from my Sister, a garage sale find.

Old shelf painted colonial yellow.  The apothecary jar is new from Home Goods $7.  And the seashell platter was on clearance for only $4.
But wait something is still missing in this new Mommy, Mom Cave.

The wall next to the bed is still empty.

I would love to add some wall art.  Like this name plaque with pegs for hanging things.

Maybe a mirror or something else that has an aqua hue!

Some nice white baskets for extra storage near the desk area and under the crib.

And this lamp would work perfect in here!

And for over here where we still have this empty corner.

I would like to add a side table maybe similar to this.

And a comfy and stylish small chair similar to this one!
What a neat contest!  Home Goods is my favorite store and outfitting a Mom Cave for my daughter, the new Mommy, is a project that I have so enjoyed!
Have a great Monday everyone!
And don't forget to check out the other Mom Cave Links!

MY FIRST EVER SWAP!

Hi all!
I am joining the lovely Karen at Some Days are Diamonds for my first ever swap!
We were supposed to keep our partners identity a secret but somehow my partner Cheri and I got things a bit confused!  But that was just fine, as I got to know Cheri and that was the best part of the whole swap.

And here is the beautiful box that Cheri made for little ole me!
Cheri's lovely blog is called Cheri's Chatter and you can visit her and also see what I made for her by clicking here.
Anyhoo, I just love the beautiful box that the talented Cheri made for me!  She used my favorite color blue and added so many lovelies!

Even the inside is soooo pretty!

And just look at all the pretties that were inside~ An adorable rattle shaped Christmas ornament for baby Addison.  Lot's of pretty shells, hair bows, a pretty little doily and a charming little bird house!

And check out the cute little clothespins that Cheri made!  Aren't they adorable!
And some labels for scrap-booking and a charming little guardian angel bag they I took to the hospital when Katie went into labor.
Love it all!
Thank-you Cheri and Thank-you Karen for hostessing this fun swap.  Now that I've done my first, I won't be as nervous about trying another.
Lately, I have been so very busy with my part- time job and helping my daughter, the new Mom with baby Addison.
I work as a parent educator/outreach worker  and I added 3 new families about the same time that Katie had Addison.
 So if I haven't visited for awhile please be patient with me.   I just need to regroup and get a bit caught up.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I am posting this a bit early because Hubby and I have plans for the weekend.  YooHoo!
