best homegoods eva.
Last week I bought this chair at my local HomeGoods for our basement media room that is FINALLY getting finished. As much as I loved it, I was stressed about my purchase because I needed two of these chairs and my HG’s only had one. The hunt was on. I spent the first half of Saturday calling every HomeGoods within a 40 mile radius (luckily there are quite a few.) After an hour of calling several stores, describing the chair, giving the style number and price (over and over) I was ready to give up. E was at my side cheering me on just when I had lost all hope. As I said to her “This is useless baby.” I heard a voice ask on the other line “How much would you love me if I told you I had it?” I started screaming “SHUT UP, SHUT UP!” Sure enough, he had it. So E and I hopped in the car and drove about an hour to the Kingstowne store and all I can say is HOLY SH&% that store is REDONKULOUS! Just check out some of the HomeGoodies we found…
Loved this linen/nailhead sofa.
Somebody pinch me…..
I think I’m dreaming. Gorgeous, right? Would need to find a match for this one too!
It KILLED me to leave this there.. But I had no place to store it or clients that had a need for it.
Yep, this is not a dream.
This guy needed a few tiny mirrors to be replaced, but it would have cost under $30. Looks a lot like the infamous Peacock Mirror, right?
This picture doesn’t do this lamp justice. It was stunning in person.
I’d paint this guy.. So many options!
They actually had two of these. Perfect for an office!
I scored this lucite antler for myself.
Isn’t this pillow awesome?
Doesn’t every home need a pair of geode bookends?
I just loved this pillow for a little boy’s room. It would be a perfect match with that blue and white Stark striped rug on OKL this week!
After all was said and done, the other half of my duo made it home. Squeal! This room is gonna be amazing!

fashion friday: last call.

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite designer discount sources: Last Call by Neiman Marcus. Not only is everything 30-40% off of retail already, but you can almost always get another 15-30% off plus free shipping! They are running an AMAZING deal for the 12 days of Christmas.. See- sometimes is pays to procrastinate. 😉

bamboo chairs.
I have received a few requests about the bamboo chairs on our porch. Here is what they looked like when I received them. E actually thought that I chose this fabric. Obviously, we need to have a lesson on 70’s decor.
Here they are now in Trina Turk’s Trellis fabric.
I bought them here. They arrived and needed some serious TLC (the legs would actually fall off when you sat in them.) Now they are sturdy, strong and GORGEOUS!

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!
