Femme Caves!

Soft*Silver · 01-17-2013, 10:43 PM

I have a room that is in between the two bedrooms. It is my cave. I have all my crafts in there, some horse tack, and my desk. Also a loveseat, a bookcase and my wall has my special photos and painting on them. I can sit at my desk and look outside my window, and see my garden, and the beautiful pergola of grapes, and the fence line of trumpet vines. I have a tart warmer that is filled with my latest whim. I am about to pull up the old shag carpeting and let the old wood floor breath once again.

I also have a place to myself which I love. I have three bedrooms, and each one has its own personality and decor and depending on how I'm feeling will determine which room I might spend some time in. This varies from very 'old world', big wooden bed with a floral counterpane and lots of big pillows and gentle pictures on the walls, to another room with a bright bed cover, minnie mouse and cartoon sketches on the wall, and the thrid bedroom with a big bookcase, lots of my favourite books, and pictures of my family and dogs. And then I have the best patio in the world, that overlooks a golf course, has a myriad of different birds visit everyday, a mob of kangaroos that hang about the back fence looking for a treat, and a bar-b-q, plants and my music box to just kick back and relax after work. So I guess my whole home is my femme cave, different rooms for different moods.

My entire home is my Femme Cave but I have some pretty specific spaces that are super mine.
I converted one of our bedrooms into an office/craft space and I LOVE spending time in there in my little "me-cave".

Jackhammer painted the walls a deep aubergine:

and it's trimmed out with a cool cream:

She also laid a gorgeous industrial floor in fireside oak:

My cave is a combination office/craft room/sewing space/geek nest. There is a long industrial restaurant table and lots of shelves and Jackhammer reworked the closet in that room by putting lots of deep shelves from floor to ceiling.
I also found a really huge (and heavy!) lateral file at a yard sale for $10 (brand new!!!) and it fit nicely under the shortest shelf in the closet. It made it really nice for organizing all of my papers and it locks! WEE!

Until last June I had my own place and the whole thing was my Femme cave. It was decorated just for me. Lots of colour, lots of art and pretty things and my bedroom was my favourite cozy nook. Since June I have been living the Gypsy life so I have not had a space of my own.

But now...

I will have my own studio in the house. I have it all planned out. I am a messy abstract painter and the floor is hardwood so I need to lay a roll of lino over top which I will cover in a canvas tarp. The walls have to be covered in plastic (think Dexter). It will have my painting table and a cupboard with all my supplies in it, the cupboard must have a door as I am messy when I paint but I hate messy in my space. I asked my GF to watch out for a large industrial kitchen tray holder thingy so I could stack canvases flat to dry in a small space, and excitement, today she is going to auction to get me one (or at least try).

The room is not huge, but big enough and it has a gorgeous big window which is great, light is so important to me. This will be my hideaway in our small little house and I can close the door and be protected from dog tails... and hair. Who knew short haired dogs shed so much? And those tails, they are dangerous, I have gotten bruises when they get all excited and start whipping them around and Labs get excited... all the time and about everything.

I am very excited about my new little Femme cave.

At this point in time I live in a two-bedroom condo. My cave area is the spare bedroom which has a built-in desk. I keep craft and knitting/crocheting items within reach. I have a large screened TV and the computer set up. I use the bed for chilling and creating with yarn; I use the desk for the computer and small crafts (think altoid tins). I generally have fresh flowers from the market sitting in a vase. Mostly, I just chill with classical music but I've been know to sing along with folk singers. I have a lot of quiet and peace in my cave. I like it!

I only really have one room that is my space with my decorations since I still live between my parents and grandparents house. BUT, my room I have is an my gender fluid cave. You see I'm always feminine in personality but I bind sometimes and go gay boy out if I'm taking the bus or doing drag around town.

My place is a femme cave though just with some gender fluid aspects

There are wigs, cute clothes, cuter false eyelashes, and an earthy goddess feel to my room complete with the room smelling like, "Orange Shadow," incense.

I don't know that I have an actual cave carved out for just me, but in the spare bedroom/family room is where I keep my crafting goodies and yarn. I went a little crazy before the holidays and my yarn collection quadrupled. I am going to make a series of cubes to store it so I can stand back and admire all the gorgeous colors. <le sigh>

Someday I would love to get a sewing machine, and then I will want to have more of a femme cave because I will be sewing the world a cute frock or two.

When I got this 1-bedroom apartment almost 2 years ago, it was my first time living on my own without family, friends or a partner. It was going to be my femmecave, for sure.

I started with my bed, nightstand, dresser, 1950s green recliner from my great-grandmother, an exercise ball, my bookcase and books, my clothes and kitchenware. Through donations from my godmothers, Kijiji, careful shopping and some help from friends, I've fleshed out this place into a shabby chic haven.

I have paper bunting made from vintage books, ribbon and washi tape on the walls. I have a batik scarf framing a print. I have a pinup girls calendar over the fuse panel in the kitchen. I have random posters all over. I have vintage hats on top of my television. I have a 1940s gramophone cabinet which I still try, in vain, to fix. I have my bass either propped up in a corner or lying on the rug after a sweaty, hand-blistery practice session. It is MARVELLOUS.

But now M has moved in. Hy brought no furniture whatsoever, but we had to play closet Tetris to get hys storage stuff in. There is now a bit more laundry (hy's a city bus driver, so all hy wears is uniforms, whereas I am a clothes pig.) I had to get a shoe rack. All minimal changes. Besides... hy brought a Wii.

And despite the overwhelming girliness of the place, I can still walk in after an errand and barely notice hym lying on the couch with a device or book - hy blends in nicely. Maybe the finishing touch on my femmecave was a guy?
