I am so in love with these bright handmade pieces from DemestiksNewYork. Based out of Brooklyn- every piece is made to order!

bummer.
Well, after a great week down in Savannah, we came home to our first casualty on the back porch. My painting was blown off the mantle and ripped. Total bummer. Does anyone know if you can get artwork repaired?

etsy love: papaya tree, again.
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.

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..)

fashion friday: put it in neutral.
elbow patchwork sweater | vest | jeans | cable knit sweater | chambray shirt | cords |
sunglasses | spike flats | weekender bag | earrings | riding boots
I generally stray from neutrals, but with Fall in full swing, lately I am feeling a bit like Switzerland.

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!
