Finally, right? I’ve been working on the den makeover since i started blogging and was inspired by you, to make this room be my own little sanctuary! Although, I believe my husband is referring to it as the “MOM CAVE” lol! Every so often I have shared with you a post of something new in my den that was added with careful thought. I didn’t want this room to be hospital white, but knew I needed to brighten it up a whole bunch! So with the help of all of you with your beautiful homes and your darling ideas – I took what was maybe yours and made it my own. Here is the final reveal. Enjoy!!!
I believe it is all the personal touches which has made this space mine! Hope you enjoyed the den reveal…

Hi Tracie! Wow what a wonderful change you've made...what a difference placement of furniture can make along with a few accessories. I LOVE the bucket garbage can! You've definitely put your 'stamp' on this 'mom cave'!Very nice indeed. I hope you have a wonderful week... Maura :)
Hi Tracie... it's just gorgeous!... I'm glad you kept your natural woods... they look beautiful with all of your whites!... I would just spend all day in there... coffee and daydreams... xoxo Julie Marie
I love the white table in your new room. I have one of those also. I was told that it is called a "chocolate table". I went to see the movie "Lincoln Lawyer" recently and there was a white one on the porch of a little bungalow.
I love how you added white and ruffles and still kept some contrasting natural wood pieces and I love the stacking wire baskets, the several tiers of ruffles on the table under the birdcage, the umbrella hat rack, the frames on the wall...it is adorable, I too am trying to incorporate ruffles and white while still keeping family keepsakes etc. and not painting everything I think the contrast is lovely! Sherry
Tracie- You did a WONDERFUL job! It looks absolutely beautiful!! WOW!!! I need a Mom cave! I guess at this age it would be a Nana cave...and would house one old bat! Love everything from the white frames on the walls to the ruffled, skirted table! PERFECT`xxoo Diana
Tracie..this is a gorgeous makeover. I'm sure you will enjoy your mom cave. I'd like one of those too..but it will have to wait another year or so. :o)
Love the ruffled cover for your bird cage stand! xo Donna

Dear Tracie, I love, love, love it...what a great Mom Cave.(at least the dishwaser is else where) I would add just one more thing.. A 'Do Not Disturb' sign..uh huh!!

Hello Tracie, This is wonderful! Much, much better!
