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!

It’s not very often that I give a store two shout outs, but the Papaya Tree has really upped their game since my last post. Don’t beleive me? Check these out.

paint it gold.

It’s no big secret that I am a lover of gold spray paint. I wanted to share yet another tryst in our long, laborious affair.

My parents bought this table in 1977, the year they bought our beach condo. It was in rough shape (totally rusted and scratched) and didn’t make the cut after the redesign. So I loaded it into the truck and hauled it home hoping to use it somewhere on our back porch that was being built at the time.

Well, 20 minutes and a few coats of gsp and she has a whole new life- currently being used as a bar cart on the porch.

Because it’s outside 24/7 there is some minor patina that occurs, but I love it. It add character.

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..)
