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!

serena and lily.

Have you seen Serena and Lily’s fall catalog? It’s hard to beleive that they started as a children’s line… ’cause they’re all grown up. I love their shop by color option.

Not to mention their new wallpaper collection.

And their kid’s line just keeps getting better and better. Here are my two faves.

I adore these tassel panels.

(btw… check out how they inexpensively framed fabric with needlepoint hoops- genius!)

And these color framed shams work for kids of all ages! Lurve.

pillow talk.

I received a lot of questions about the pillows on our porch last week… here is the skinny.

These guys were so cheap, it was nearly a crime.

This baby was simply irresistable. And now also SUPER cheap.

Unfortunately, these are sold out at C. Wonder.

I bought two of these at OKL.

Some of you may be lucky enough to find the pistachio cane print pillows at HomeGoods, if not, these are a great alternative.

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?

sitting pretty.

After a great week in Savannah, we came home to a finished porch and worked our asses off to pull (most) of it together in 4 hours… In just enough time to have dinner out there!

My view from the sofa.

Each of the Pip Squeaks has claimed their own window seat.

Which have plenty of room for pillow storage.

Remember these chairs I scored on Etsy? Well, they are the perfect size. They are not in the best shape (besides the fabric a la 1977) so I am hoping that they can be salvaged…

pillow felony.

I think I’ve made it clear that JC Penney is crushing it lately. Exhibit A, these pillows I found on clearance for the back yard. They were so cheap, it feels like a crime.

Exhibit B? They come in turquoise too.

The prosecution rests, your honor.

e’s room.

Last year, for her birthday, we redecorated E’s room. Her desired color scheme? Purple and pink, probably my least favorite color combination. I started twitching at the thought that it might turn out like something out of a Barbie movie. Well, it didn’t. And I think we were able to create a room that both mother and daughter were happy with.

It all started with the Mariska Meijers pillows. That was my inspiration for the room.

Then we worked up a paint technique that looks like a wash. I love the way it turned out. Her bench- a HomeGoods find that we had reupholstered.

The chandelier is actually broken, but I like it that way. Speaking of broken… I bought this picture frame on clearance at HomeGoods. I had the mirror fixed and replaced the artwork with an enlarged picture of E. I love the way it turned out.

The rocking chair was $20 from Craigslist. The new fabric is from Spoonflower.

This Target lamp had a makeover.

Most of the accessories on her dresser are from HomeGoods. You can buy a similar mirror here.

I had the pillow made from extra fabric from her bench. The table.. HomeGoods.

Her desk is from Land of Nod. You can read about her chair makeover here.

Buy this book set here.

We covered her bulletin board in the same ol’ ostrich fabric that seems to be appearing all over our house. It’s so durable and versatile. I still have a ton left, so you will be seeing more of this!

I love these heart push pins.

The bedding was on clearance at the Land of Nod (sorry, out of stock.) It couldn’t be more perfect!

The shades are from Lowes, but we removed the rose trim and added hot pink!The jujuhat was quite an ordeal. I am just glad that we finally got it.The lucite “E” is a custom product. If you are interested in something like this, send me an email.
