Mom Cave Linky Party - "A Room of One's Own."

Welcome friends to Natasha In Oz. I am so thrilled that you have taken time out of your busy day to spend some time with me- in my little corner of the world, Down Under!

Today I am so excited to be joining in with the Centsational Girl's Mom Cave linky party, Susan's Mom Cave Party and Marty's Tabletop Tuesday Linky Party. My Mom Cave is our sitting room area. It is a room that is shared by everyone in the family so perhaps it is officially not a room of my own but it is the place where I relax, read, converse, decorate over and over again and just love being in.... so I guess it really is.....

My Mom Cave!






This is the room that we use for entertaining.....

It is also the room where I sit down at night with my family to chat about our day.....




 We all watch TV in here at night too.


I don't often get to choose what to watch but this is my favourite show to watch in my Mom Cave!


I often sit here by myself during the day with a cuppa and a magazine.






I am often re-decorating this room. I love creating little tablescapes and vignettes in my Mom Cave.
















I change things around for the seasons and Holidays. Here is my mom cave at Easter.....










And here it is all decorated for Christmas!






















I love my Mom Cave!


Thanks so much for coming to visit my Mom Cave today! I can't wait to see all of the other beautful spaces out there in blogland! Thanks also to Marty and Kate and Susan for having me today and for hosting this great linky party!

Best wishes,
Natasha In Oz

Your mom cave is very pretty, I love the window treatments. That fabric is gorgeous and I see it is repeated over in the eating area. Beautiful!
It was great to see the Christmas decorations, I am so ready to plan my Christmas decor, so I am already checking out where I can get ideas.

Lovely "Mom Cave"! I love the design of your drapes. I see you like to watch the Contessa as well. She makes everything look easy. Hope you have a second to come and visit. I think its something you will relate to. Cheers!

Natasha, What a great mom cave you have. I love the candle in the tea cup. Why have I never thought of that?
Your cave is comfy but company worthy. I enjoyed seeing it.

maria said...

Cheers and thanks again x

Lovely photos of such a lovely home! You are right - you don't need a special room to be a mom cave, it can be a common space :) Thank you for sharing

A Room For Everyone said...

It was so lovely having a look around your gorgeous sitting room. The cushions really make the room and it looks beautiful at Christmas. Speaking of which, I must check out your Christmas blog! And of course you can pass on the PNP, spread the joy! Rachaelxx

Donna said...

Wow-wow!! I LOVE these photos!! How inspring! Mom Cave..it has such a nice 'ring' to it. I have one too..I just call it my 'sewing' room. The only problem with it being officially a 'mom cave' is that it's often filled with large sweaty boys. Ah well...someday! Ha!

They play group computer games (everyone online and working towards the same goals in the same game) with their Dad. He loves my new sewing/office desk from IKEA so much that I'm getting bumped to the livingroom. Hmm.. seems like I need to establish some territorial rights here. Ha!

Your decorating is beautiful! I'd love to have tea with you. :o)

Susan (My Place to Yours) said...

Natasha, your Mom Cave looks so inviting. I especially loved it decked out for Christmas!

Dining Delight said...

It is wonderful that your "mom cave" is a place that you also welcome your family and friends. That means you are truly decorating and making the space cozy for times other than when you are alone. I really liked seeing how you decorated for Christmas too - so warm and welcoming!

A Hint of Home said...

Tardevil said...

What a nice room. I LOVE the window treatments. They are made of such a pretty fabric. Also love how the candles looked on the silver tray.

susan said...

Natasha-I can see why you love it here. I especially love all the light and the two matching chairs! You have done a beautiful job of photgraphing it!

Terry @ La Bella Vie said...

Such a pretty and comfortable room. Love the sun pouring in. I see why you love it so much.

Comfy room! I love the English books you have...I want those too! Cute birds on the dumbwaiter and lovely displays on your coffee table...neat table also, btw!

Thanks for sharing!

Nancy

Nancy said...

I just trying to leave a comment and it would not go through for some reason. Anyway, hopefully this one will. I love your cave..it's cozy and I love your seasonal displays on the coffee table. Those books on/about England look so interesting too.

Thanks for sharing this special space with us!

Nancy

LDH said...

So, so pretty! Everywhere you have such lovely vignettes!

Sofia Sandoval said...

It's so feminine, delicate and beautiful. I loved the love birds. I saw some red ones like that at TJ Max that I didn't buy and now that I have more shelf space in my area... I wish I'd bought the birds.

Beachside Cottage said...

The Mom Cave - what a great idea!

I see so many Man Caves in our neighborhood - the decked-out garages (black and white race striped floors, plasma tv for sports, high end tool storage cabinets with worktables and card game tables!) that I'm glad to see we've found a spot for the ladies!

Will have to join the next one!

Best Wishes,
Linda
