In my home I have a private space- called the Ladies Room. I had never heard of such a luxury when my best friend and I decided we needed some room in this house away from my boys... my husband and son.
So, I decorated the 'den' in a very feminine manner and dubbed it the 'ladies room. After all the guys had a TV in the basement and one in the living room and there was never time for me to watch the decorating shows I wanted to watch- so I created my own space with a fireplace, bookshelves and the little TV they did not want. (There is no TV there anymore).
This private girls room concept has been around for centuries, dubbed the 'Ladies room" in Islam as a place for the women to meet, a drawing room in England.... so I was not so revolutionary after all!
I do, believe we need some space that is ours- try to forge out a private retreat for yourself somewhere in your home where you can escape, read, watch TV and entertain your own females friends!
The strange thing about this room is my ex-husband loved it- my family think it is the nicest room in the house- so much for over the top decor putting off men! I think they like it as it is a secret peak into the 'feminine'.... like being in boudoir of old( kinda sexy in a forbidden way- but I am not about to tell the guys this!)
