Where's your lady cave?

[FledglingFTB]

Not a euphemism, it's the only thing I could think of for the female equivalent of a ManCave.

Just about to complete on first house and DH has already placed dibs on the basement as his domain.

Initially I was at the thought of no longer having to put up with his hoards of shite hobby strewn around the home. However, now I'm a bit - when do I get my own space and why's there no such thing as a lady cave?!

AIBU, do you have your own space at home?

Yep. I nabbed the third bedroom (tiny box room really) and declared it A Room Of Quilted's Own. It contains a big desk and the most comfortable chair ever bought cheap off eBay. After dinner, for an hour or so, I lurk. I am content.

Vera,I'm so jealous

My sewing room

It's a tiny box room but I bloody love it!

DH has the garage

Husband had the spare room for his collection of things - note use of past tense! - it is now shared with my craft things. Took me 8 years but I have successfully colonised it!

My office is also my lady cave.

Our bedroom. It's upstairs, lovely sea views, the quality of the light is almost ethereal at times (like right now) and I've got a smart tv hooked up to Netflix and Prime.

So, so comfortable.

I don't really want a lady cave to sit all alone in.

I quite like to lie in bed and watch TV if that counts. I mostly like going out and sitting in coffee shops if I want some alone time.

I have my own bedroom. It's nicely decorated with no clutter (my wardrobes and all my stuff live in DH's bedroom) it's like a permanent guest room that's just for me.

My home, most of the time. DH works away a lot at present, can be up to a couple of months at a time.

Spare room is mine!!

My bathroom! I have my own ensuite (dh uses guest bathroom) I've decorated it in fuscia pink with butterflies everywhere, I love it.

I had grand plans for turning the spare room into a tiny library - cosy chairs, floorstanding lamps, enough bookshelves.

Instead it became The Room Of Crap and only now, 5 years later, is it starting to get cleared.

I have my own bedroom and ensuite. Also spare room used as my office and beauty room. Husband has his own bedroom and thats it. He dreams of winning the lottery and having his own cave!

My bedroom (DH sleeps in box room during the week)

It has a superking size bed (and will get the electric blanket down now - DH doesn't like it) lots of pillows, wall lights etc.

It also has a huge TV hooked up to smart TV

And a coffee machine by the bed

I love cosying up in there - with the cats!

Ooh, good to hear that it's not just me.

It's a three bed, so I was thinking the spare room could be my LC similar to Quilted. But now apparently the cellar isn't fit for Ye Olde desktop PC (he does think he could squeeze in a HD flat screen though), so I'm guessing he's got eyes on there too.

I really don't see why I should have to have the second bedroom and then have to remove my crap stuff whenever we have guests.

I'm waiting for "let's share 3rd bed room..."

Can I just live with some of you? Sea views, an ensuite and bedside espresso... Sounds bloody blissful!

Our house is too small for either a dedicated man or lady cave, though DH does have his desk in the corner of the kitchen. Not sure that really counts though. More of a man corner!

I have designs on the nursery glider chair when it's no longer needed in DS's room, I may try to rejig our bedroom and make part of it my lady corner.

The whole house is my woman cave, tbh. DP has the shed for his cave.

It's my office which is a corner of the dining room which is my domain and not to be touched by son or husband. DH has his computer desk and ps 4 upstairs which I assume is the man cave shared between him and DS. Mine contains my Mac which is my baby...

There are 2 places I go to be alone:

• our utility room to iron and listen to The Archers (now finally able to listen again after months of stress)
• our guest bathroom, which is always clean and tidy, and has a bath

I've got a lovely, light and airy potting shed in the garden for me, my radio, my cup of tea and my seedlings. DH doesn't have one.

3rd bedroom was turned into a Cherrysoup cave when work requirements increased. Two years later, I'm just starting to use it! It is covered in my crap, odd postcards on the pinboard, random things kids have given me, a chair I spent he's choosing and a yellow filing cabinet, marvellous!

I've just sorted out the study & have made space in a lovely, light flooded corner for a comfy chair, little table & lamp and I intend to go & hide there when I just want to read in peace.

Get to the kitchen woman, know your place

I pretty much gave the whole of our ground floor (study, snug and kitchen diner) - it's very much my domain. The kids have taken over the main sitting room. Dh has the garage!
