Fishtail Cottage Den Reveal…

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!!!

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...

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.
Sherry Hicks said…
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
Very nice. The chairs are wonderful. What a great makeover. It looks like a lovely place to spend time. Enjoy!

I love it, Tracie! Hey, I'm all for having a "Mom cave"! I wish I had a "wife cave" in this tiny little cottage to retreat to. ;)

It was fun walking through this reveal and remembering the individual posts of its elements.

Thanks for linking to the party.

Wow, what a great job you did, I think it is a woman/man cave, cause
we all know how much guys love wood,
and you have left wood for warmth.
It really turned out lovely, I love all the added white and ruffles, the room needed some fru fru, and it was just the perfect amount!
Good Going!
Blessings, Nellie
This is so charming!! I love all the ruffled whites and prettiness! Looks like a wonderful 'mom cave'! Thanks for sharing at FNF! :)
