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?

HomeGoods Nightstands and Pillows

Both nightstands in our guest bedroom?  HomeGoods.. Oh yeah and those pink Ralph Lauren pillows too!

HomeGoods Tablescape

These Cynthia Rowley cups were $2.99 each.  Make great vases, eh?

HomeGoods Lamp and Accessories

Basically everything on this dresser… HomeGoods.

HomeGoods Tablescape and Ottomans

Our living room table too.  Not to mention those two green ottomans.

HomeGoods Lamp and Table

This table and that lamp.

Homegoods Bowl and Glassware

This bowl in our dining room that I get so many compliments on…  Just add gold spray paint!

HomeGoods Mirror and Candlesticks

Our dining room mirror and crystal candlesticks.

HomeGoods Table

So much in E’s room came from HG.  She loves her reading table.
HomeGoods Lamp and Bookends

E’s desk lamp, glassware and desk organizers… all HomeGoods.

HomeGoods Geode Bookends

as well as her geode bookends-  love!HomeGoods Tablescape

Pretty much everything on her dresser from picture frames to trays and boxes.

HomeGoods Bench, Picture Frame and LampRemember her bench makeover?  Also the broken picture frame that I scored on clearance?  And that lamp?  H-to-the-G.

HomeGoods Chest and Lamp

This chest, lamp (+ some leftover green spray paint) and coral?  You guessed it.

HomeGoods Bedding and Accessories

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.HomeGoods Table

Her table?  Yup, Yup.
HomeGoods Mirror

And this mirror used to be a picture that I got on clearance.HomeGoods BowlThis orchid bowl in our kitchen?  Only $14.99!

HomeGoods Table 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!

homegoods to the rescue.

It’s no secret that I may be HomeGood’s biggest fan.  But this might be one of my favorite scores yet.  As I attempted to zhush up our porch this summer, I went on weekly runs.  I am so happy that it is finally done (full reveal coming soon) and I can say with certainty that it is now our family’s favorite spot.

life is a blur.

Sometimes I feel like I need to check in with my iPhone to see if things in my life really happened.  That is the case last weekend-  I arrived home from NYC at midnight on Thursday and scurried for the next 36 hours to pull together E’s birthday party as well as a porch photoshoot.  Despite an amazing level of stress, fast food, acne and lack of showers- we got it done.  I can’t wait to show you all the pictures!  Here’s what I do have (from my iPhone.)

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.Screen Shot 2013-09-04 at 11.56.52 AM Screen Shot 2013-09-04 at 11.56.28 AM Screen Shot 2013-09-04 at 11.56.21 AM

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