When the Salt Lake Home Show asked me to design and decorate a bungalow for the Wright’s Shed Company, I happily agreed! What a fun opportunity and a great experience. I loved how this project turned out and I’m so excited to share the finished product with you. I decided on a shabby chic mom cave bungalow with colors in soft creams, pinks, whites and tans. Get ready for the mom cave picture tour!
Wright’s Shed Company take their sheds to the next level. This shed is really more of a bungalow. A bungalow is basically an upscale, outdoor shed. I was able to work closely with Wright’s Sheds to tailor the look of the bungalow almost exactly how I wanted it. They were so accommodating with all of my requests, like glass in the barn sliding doors, windows and porch in front, and a dormer up on top. I was going for a Cape Cod cottage feel, so they customized the wood shingle shake roof as well. They can customize almost any details and sizing needed.
It’s all in the details! I thought these flowers were the perfect feminine touch to the front porch. Of course, real flowers do the trick. But in the winter in Utah you’ve got to do something for flowers and greenery!
I love how the bungalow looks in the front! The porch decor is from Tai Pan Trading. It was so fun to see all of my ideas come together. Come on inside!
When you think of a shed, you probably think of an old, dusty place to store tools and stuff. I had a vision of a serene and beautiful place for mom to relax and take some time for herself. I hope my Mom Cave will make you want to sit, read a book, and drink hot cocoa. I know I could get cozy in this beautiful space! The majority of the beautiful decor and unique accessories (other than DIY projects and Re-D-Fined bench) are from one of my all-time favorite stores, Tai Pan Trading. Check out Tai Pan’s website or Facebook page. They always have the best finds! Mirrors and angel wings were a big hit with the attendees at the show – both are from Tai Pan Trading.
These wire lampshades were perfect in the high ceiling! Look for a tutorial for these DIY wire lampshades soon!
Another fun DIY project is this rosette fabric rug. So simple to make, and it looks gorgeous. I love the look!
The beautiful shabby chic bench was made by Darcie of Re-D-Fined Furniture – check out her Facebook page. Darcie made this lovely pink bench from an old headboard. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out! Here’s a similar tutorial if you would like a DIY project to achieve the look yourself.
I requested white wood planks on wall and ceiling and grey washed floors to tie in my neutral palette. I love how they look! The high ceilings make this small shed feel so much larger!
I asked for a ladder to be built to easily access the shelfs at the top of the ceiling. Doesn’t it add the perfect touch?
I hope you enjoyed this virtual tour of my Shabby Chic Mom Cave! What is your favorite part or decor piece of the mom cave?
All opinions are my own. I was compensated with a gift card for designing this project.

Debbie Reeves says
Gorgeous! You should be on one of those HGTV shows. I know you’d win! Just lovely! I love shabby Chic.
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Debbie, You are very sweet! Thank you – your comment made my day!!!
BDwyer says
Very cute. I am curious as to why all the books are turned backwards.
Toni - Design Dazzle says
It was done for esthetics rather than to see the titles/spines of the books. The pages showing created a soft tans and cream colored look rather than the harsh bright colors of the book spines that wouldn’t match the decor. This isn’t a “regular” bookshelf – just for decor
Leticua says
Absolutely beautiful! What a creative mind!
Toni - Design Dazzle says
I very much appreciate your kind words. Thank you, Leticua!
Sarah says
I am in love with those angel wings! May I ask where they are from?
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Hi Sarah,
The wings are from Tai Pan Trading. They have stores in Utah and a few other states. It was a Christmas item – so not sure if they are seasonal or not.
Good luck!
Lisa @ Lisas Creative Designs says
I found your post on Home Talk and just had to stop by. This is such a pretty retreat and would love to have one myself. Love the pink bench!
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Thanks Lisa for stopping by! I love this retreat too! That pink bench is the cutest!!

Jessica says
Does anyone know where the wings in the top image came from?? I am desperate to have these in my own house!
Alternately, if there re ideas on how to make them, i’d be happy to hear those, too!
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Jessica – the wings came from a store Tai Pan Trading. They no longer sell them. Amazon does sell some similar https://amzn.to/2eXz4fL (aff link)
Lindi says
Where did you find the angel wings?
Toni - Design Dazzle says
A store called TaiPan in Utah. You might be able to find some here https://amzn.to/2yHLrd5 (aff)
MJ Underwood says
I’m considering approaching the idea of sharing the shed. He likes to keep the lawn tractor in it..I’ll have talk him into parking it in the garage. Let me tell you I’m excited just thinking all I could do with it..I have been collecting my tools and have a chair I could put into it. This idea you put in my head will take me through this cold winter we are having.
Thanks
Toni - Design Dazzle says
I’m so happy to help in a small way. It’s fun dream! I hope this helps in your ideas!
Amanda says
Hi! This is absolutely beautiful. Can you tell me the size of this shed?
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Thank you. I don’t remember exactly. Maybe 10 x 12?? It had tall ceilings which helped.
Courtney says
What color paint is the exterior?! I LOVE it and must paint our daughters playhouse this shade 🙂
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Hi Courtney,
I’m sorry I do not know. I wish I did. This was done many years ago and the company who made it painted it. Their information is in the post. You could call and ask.
Brenda says
I am stunned! This is absolutely gorgeous. It captures the soft Shabby Chic style so perfectly. I love Shabby Chic but have a hard time thinking of decor items. That’s why I love websites like yours! So many details. It just feels like a warm hug. I could see myself getting cozy on the couch with a nice book and a cup of coffee. Wish I had your talent.
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Thank you, Brenda! You made my day.
Melissa says
I love the idea of the mantel with the window inside, very cute, and clever.
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Thank you! I love how it turned out!
