Yeah, it’s the new version of the Man Cave. My mom cave is my nearly finished office.
We (when I say ‘we’, I mean Ben) still need to build cabinet doors and drawers and add some finishing touches with accessories. The bookshelf could be decorated with bright colors to add some pop to play off the neutral white and chocolate color scheme.
I will say that it has come a long way. Before we started, our entire basement was a concrete shell: concrete floors and concrete walls. Add a ton of sheet rock, miles of trim, 700 square feet of tile and a few custom-built cabinets and we are getting closer.
The other wall serves as our library, and floor to ceiling bookshelves were built to suit.
My office is my place to escape, to read blogs, and work on orders for my Etsy shop. This is my mom cave, which happens to neighbor Ben’s man cave. Funny how that works.

/ October 25, 2010Love the wooden design you guys put on the wall. Such a subtle difference but really makes the room unique. I’m so jelly. I need one of these, but at $600 sq/ft for living space in Santa Monica- it’s not in the cards. That said, I might try to put something kinda like this together in the garage someday. Nice work though… it looks incredible. Would love to see one or two (bright) accent colors to really make things pop. Orange is the new black

/ October 25, 2010I love the red framed prints on your desk. Did you buy/make those? If so, where did you find that lovely paper?

/ October 25, 2010Hi Sara,
I did make those. They’re actually not prints, but cut out paper pieces. If you are interested, I would love to make something for you. Just send me an e mail at ourhumbleabowed@gmail.com and we can discuss the details.
Thanks!

/ October 25, 2010Great job on your “Caves”…which btw is the same size as our entire Love Shack
We recently downsized and are fine with our small cottage and I still have room to create. But I’d love to blow out the attice and expand it into my cave someday. Best of luck. Fondly, Roberta
