Introducing "The Babe Cave"

Hey loves, hope you all are doing fabulous. I am super excited about today's post.

Here's the deal, for the past two months I have been working on my "Babe Cave". What is a babe cave you ask? The simple answer is that it's my happy place, my little oasis. It's my beauty room!

I have a true passion for makeup and all things girly. I wanted a place for all of my beauty items and a little place away from everything, where I can spend quality "Me Time".  Makeup to me is a mood booster, a creative outlet, a security blanket and just an overall feel good passion.

I wanted a place to relax, play, create and just enjoy. This is truly a dream come true for me. That's no exaggeration it's fact. At my age I finally have a makeup vanity that I am beyond obsessed with and it doesn't stop there, I also have a place to store all of my makeup and all of my beauty related items.

Warning this is going to be a very picture heavy post.

Here is what you see when you open the door to my room. I know, right?! The little girl in me is jumping up for joy. No, this isn't a teenager’s room; this is a makeup obsessed beauty lover’s paradise; who happens to be an adult.

These pictures are in natural light which is why they have the pink cast, due to the pink window curtains. As always I think pictures can only do so much but they don't truly do the room justice. It is way more breathe taking and amazing in person.

Being in my room makes me smile and I love every single little thing about it! Let me start out by saying that I wanted a traditional vanity, not a table with a Hollywood style mirror like all the beauty gurus have. I was going for a modernized vintage feel, cute and chic.

This gorgeous vanity is from Ikea, the stool was not included. If you are interested in getting your own just click here and it will take you to the Ikea website.


This was such a generous b-day/Christmas present from my hubby. He knew how bad I wanted it, so he made it happen. 

The gorgeous stool was purchased at Hobby Lobby. I couldn’t find it on their website, but if you have a Hobby Lobby close by go check it out. It is so comfortable and it adds that modern twist I wanted to include.

The Target shelf is seriously my second favorite piece of furniture in my room. It is the perfect width and it has all of the compartments I need to store all of my makeup.  If you are interested in getting it yourself click here I got mine in white, as you can see.

I wanted to do a close-up of the shelf to show you the beautiful picture frames that my sister Cristina gave me, I LOVE THEM! The quotes in the pictures frames were DIY project's I did. The one on the left says "wake up and makeup" and the one of the right says "Home is where your makeup stash is"

Here is the full view of the left side of my wall. I won’t go into too many details as I don’t want this blog to be too ridiculously long. If you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comments and I will make sure to answer them for you. I love love love my chandelier picture and my little corner unit; which btw was a DIY project. Once upon a time that was completely brown and I painted the table top white and spray painted the bottom silver.   

My closet is open and fun. I have two old Ikea dressers that use to be in my sons room a long time ago, after changing out his room they were collecting dust in the utility room so I took them over and painted them white. They provide me so much storage. They are all super organized and spacious. I have my purses, wallets, makeup bags, brushes, sunglasses, more jewelry and even my ridicules nail polish collection.  

The gorgeous lip art was done by one of my besties, Enisa who btw named my room "The Babe Cave". The tassels add a little pizazz to the closet so I really love those. The other picture frame is another DIY quote that says "Money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you makeup".

If you are curious what is on the right side of my vanity, not much yet. I do have a beautiful sign that says "Follow your dreams" with an arrow, I love its significance! Eventually I will add a little extra seating. 

I got this beautiful mirror at Ross, it’s a stand-alone mirror and it’s the perfect size for this space. A girl has to make sure her outfit is on point, ya feel me?! Ha ha

The hubby purchased my rug at Home Depot just recently for Valentine’s Day. We had to order it online; it’s a 5X7 faux fur pink rug. It’s so comfortable and gorgeous! 

And here you have it in its full glory. I couldn't be happier with it; it's truly my happy place!

I am truly grateful for the love and support my husband has given me in allowing me to turn one of our spare bedrooms into this little piece of heaven. I want to give a special thanks to my brother who installed a new light fixture in my room. I also want to give a huge shoutout to my besties Becci and Enisa for putting up with my picture overloads, for their input and also help. Enisa actually helped me paint this room and although it was not a fun process it was fun because I got to share it with her.

Ok one more thing before I go, I have suffered with insecurities my entire life. I have always wanted to be prettier, thinner and look like all those models in magazines and on TV but we have to learn to accept and love ourselves for who we are; be.YOU.tiful!


Thank you so much for stopping by!

Much Love,
