our porch.
For those of you that have been following #theneverendingporchproject on Instagram, this post is a long time coming. Almost a year ago, I started working with Jeff at Great Falls Landscapes on the concept.
We worked for weeks on the plan.. And finally came up with perfection.
There were a lot of changes along the way. And while it took what seems like forever to build, I couldn’t be happier with the end results. It’s funny, before finding GFL, I had initially hired someone else, and ultimately fired him two weeks in due to his lack of creativity. So glad that I found them! Jeff and Lance were amazing to work with and really “went” with my crazy ideas..
(This was right before E’s Party.. pics to come on that later..)

homegoods shopping party.
It’s no secret that I am a HomeGoods addict. Friends who shop with me know entering a HomeGoods is like me getting ready for “the big game.” I am focused. I am competitive. Let’s review the fruits of my labor, shall we?
Both nightstands in our guest bedroom? HomeGoods.. Oh yeah and those pink Ralph Lauren pillows too!
These Cynthia Rowley cups were $2.99 each. Make great vases, eh?
Basically everything on this dresser… HomeGoods.
Our living room table too. Not to mention those two green ottomans.
This table and that lamp.
This bowl in our dining room that I get so many compliments on… Just add gold spray paint!
Our dining room mirror and crystal candlesticks.
So much in E’s room came from HG. She loves her reading table.
E’s desk lamp, glassware and desk organizers… all HomeGoods.
as well as her geode bookends- love!
Pretty much everything on her dresser from picture frames to trays and boxes.
Remember her bench makeover? Also the broken picture frame that I scored on clearance? And that lamp? H-to-the-G.
This chest, lamp (+ some leftover green spray paint) and coral? You guessed it.
And my little Louie’s room. Probably the single most popular topic that I receive emails about. Her coverlet and shams are from HomeGoods, not to mention nearly every decorative item on her bookshelves.
Her table? Yup, Yup.
And this mirror used to be a picture that I got on clearance.
This orchid bowl in our kitchen? Only $14.99!
Pictures of our porch are coming soon, but you probably saw the post on this table. The coral and lotus candle holder are great styling accessories- both under $10!
So there you have it- that’s just a few of the bazillion HomeGoods gems that I have scored. That being said, I was tickled pink when HomeGoods Corporate reached out to me and asked me to host a shopping party. They were gracious enough to let me pick my favorite store, which happens to be right in my neighborhood. They’ll be a gift card in it for every guest as well as a chance to win some major HomeGoods cash. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite items as well as a few tips and tricks that I save for my clients. Think of it as some free personal shopping. 😉 So…. for you readers in the DC Area, if you would like to attend, please send me an email at klnsalmon@yahoo.com so I can add you to the list. Spaces are limited!

hello sunshine.
Black Crow Studios has done it again! I love their new Gray Malin collection. How rad is this Lisbon Wallpaper?

our guest bedroom.
It all started with this scarf. I used this custom frame to showcase it.
And slowly, but surely our guest bedroom started to come together.
I scored these bamboo mirrors from Etsy.
This secretary’s desk was a Craig’s List find.
The curtains are from here. I had this greek key trim sewn along the edges to add a little bit of personality. The lucite rod is custom. Please email me if you are interested in one.
We took our old Crate and Barrel dresser and updated it with these ring pulls.
The bedside tables are from HomeGoods, we used the same pulls on those too. Many of you have contacted me about the acrylic frame. If you are interested in one, please email me.
The mirrored tray is from HomeGoods.
The lamps are from Ikea, the pink pillows are from HomeGoods and the grey pillow was made with this fabric. You can get the chandy here.
Y’all come back now, ya hear?

blow it up.
I was determined to have an oversized picture of E in her new room, but I wanted something more dramatic than a gallery-wrapped canvas. Enter HomeGoods. I found this baby on clearance for $27. One of the edges was cracked and because it was beveled it took a bit more to repair than just a flat edge. I was happy to pay the extra money because I am so happy with the results!
Stay tuned for the full reveal of her room tomorrow!
