So, when I received an e-mail from her saying that she has partnered up with Home Goods for a Mom Cave giveaway, I was super excited to say the very least! They are graciously offering a gift certificate to a lucky winner to help spruce up their Mom Cave.

Do I qualify on the "Mom Cave" part?

Let's see.

cave
definition:

Ummmm.Well. This might be a loose interpretation of a cave.
But, I do feel like this is where I can go to do numerous things.
Relax.
Learn.
Plan.
Tune out.
Just plain old me time.
Yep.
This is a Mom Cave.
So, I will share with you my Mom Cave and what I dream about having, to make it a more complete and "me" space.

"How can a $250 gift card to Home Goods help you create your own 'Mom Cave'?"

 I would finally be able to have a space that I designed with just me in mind. I would love to draw together different design elements to make the space feel  more cohesive. ( being all wordy makes me sound like I know what I am talking about, even though we all know I have no design style other than O.C.D! )
Winning would also allow me an afternoon of unmitigated, guilt free shopping. Just being honest.

(These next few things I found on the Home Goods website will help share my vision with you.)
From this:

To this:
Yeah. That's the ONE.
From this:

To this:
Can we say storage heaven. The baskets, the boxes, oh my.
Or any of these lovelies. I love the natural texture of the woven bins. They can be used for a multitude of things. Paper stuff. Office supply stuff. My photography stuff. Stuff I don't want anyone to see....the possibilities are limitless.
Clear turquoise glass? Nuff said. This is definitely a statement piece. And the one thing my Cave needs is LIGHT. Badly.

From this:
The back wall and doors are screaming for something.
To this:
Now that's a perfect inspiration board or two. I am thinking that if I find something similar it would work hanging from the cabinet doors .Cork on one side. Chalkboard on the other. Divine.


A little of this, a little of that. I love how silver can really help brighten up a space. And candles add a nice ambience.

From this:

To this:
These would work just fine if I do say so. The perfect pop of color.

Even if I don't win,I now officially have a wish list and know what to look out for.
Especially that chair. 
When you are  at Home Goods and if you see it.....call me. ( I said that with a fake hand phone gesture to my ear )
I would owe you one.
