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!

  6. Hi, Cindy! I'm back from my trip and wanted to drop by for a visit. I think those things would be a great addition to your room, and I love what you did! Loved seeing the picture of Katie and Addison. I also love their names. My cousin's daughter is named Katie, and Addison is a family name in our family. Makes me smile!

  11. Hi Girlfriend...

    Ohhh...you know that I just adore everything that you have done to make Katie and baby Addison's room special...it's beautiful!!! I loved all of the things on your Home Goods "wish list"! I think that a small end table and chair would be especially nice in that corner! A mirror and name rack would certainly be beautiful on the wall above the bed too! Sweet friend, I wish you the very best...I'm crossin' my fingers and toes for you to win the contest!!!

    Love ya,
    Chari
