ultimate ikea hack.
Have you all seen this Ikea hack from Sarah Sherman Samuel? It’s genius! Apparently there is a company out there called Semi Handmade that makes custom doors for your Ikea Cabinets?!? It’s perfect because at Ikea you buy the cabinets and the doors separately. No doubt that I love Ikea, their cabinet quality is actually pretty great. However you are somewhat limited by their designs. Now you can have custom cabinets at a MUCH lower price point. I am DEFINITELY doing this for our bathroom renovations!

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!

house beautiful on small spaces.
I FINALLY got around to reading this month’s House Beautiful… have you seen it? Holy crap! What a great showing of some teeny tiny apartments. Like this one, designed by Kelly Geisen… 725 Square feet.
Or this one, designed by designed by Ashley Whittaker… 800 square feet.
Makes small the new big, don’t cha think?

Ann Sacks Tile.
When I was in New York a few weeks ago, I was luckily enough to stay across the street from Ann Sacks NYC Showroom. To say that I was in tile-heaven is the understatement of year.
Till this day, my favorite Ann Sack’s room has got to be the Apple Green Kitchen that Nate created for Kirstey Alley that was revealed on Oprah a few years ago. I still dream of that tile.
Check out more Ann Sack’s tiles here.
