This is a compensated review from BlogHer and HomeGoods
I literally jumped around, clapped, and squealed when I found out that I had been chosen to do a review for HomeGoods. And when I found out that I had a $500 gift card to makeover our home, I was stoked! Trust me, $500 goes a LONG LONG way at HomeGoods, because their prices are so affordable! (Think 3 carts completely FULL!) The average price for the items in my cart was $10! However, don’t think that a cheap price equals cheap look and quality. Their products are designer names for 1/3 of the cost! HomeGoods has THE GOODS!
You can find accessories and decor for whatever your style might me. The store is filled with Contemporary, Cultural, Country, and Classical inspirations. (Or you can go for a cookie cutter/mixed look, which tends to be my personal style.) Check out Open House - HomeGoods' blog "for anyone that loves their home" for ideas and inspiration.
Before my HomeGoods shopping extravaganza, our home was going for the “minimalist” look: our walls were bare, end tables with nothing on them, lots of empty space, and lots of improvising. For example, we were using a hamper as a end table in our bedroom. With some TLC from HomeGoods, our house has went through quite a transformation. I’m in love with every purchase and the new look for our home.

Congrats on the makeover...the office looks great!
Country casual. Pretty accurate, even if I don't always want it that way.
They say I'm Elegant Classic....jury's still out on that one
Mine was Country Eclectic. Which translates to: she collects a lot of crap, I mean stuff. Fits me to a tee!!!
You got a lot of fabulous stuff from Home Goods.
I'm an elegant classic :) That's probably giving me a little to much credit! LOL
"Country Casual"!
What Fun! I wish Home Goods was knocking on my door with a $500 gift card. Wow I just like dreaming about that!
I took the quiz and I'm glamorous classic. It pretty much nailed it on the head!
I too am Earthy Casual - it is very correct too!
My result is Bohemian classic and I agree with the description! I love your finds..everything looks great!
I am also Earthy Casual!
Country casual for me - hmmmmm. You got lots of great stuff!
You got a ton of great stuff!
I'm Earthy Casual!

Earthy Casual.
Homegoods is awesome and you garnered so many wonderful goodies from them.
Love the quiz! It says I'm a "Glamorous Classic" which is pretty accurate even if my living area doesn't quite reflect that right now. Hopefully after a trip to Homegoods it will!

I'm elegant classic!
Earthy Casual
"country casual," although i like to call that "flea market maven."
Elegant Classic.
I agree with the description- but we'll have to wait and see how my new house comes out. I can't wait to decorate! We move in next week!
I am Elegant Modern.
I like a style that is clean and comfortable looking. I want my family and friends to feel just as much at home as I do..
And thanks for taking the time to read my wish list..
Congratulations on you make over!

I'm elegant classic. I definitely agree on the classic part.
Global Casual. I'm here from Bossy's place, and have bookmarked your blog for further perusal. Thanks!
Global casual, and they're right!
I'm earthy casual!
I'm "Earthy Casual" and it totally fits me!
I'm with you- Earthy Casual- but anyone who knows me knows that! My second paragraph is different than yours, though- you "value order" and I "value comfort". Right on, in any case!
I am Elegant Casual (I just knew we'd get along!) and it nailed my home challenge perfectly too - oh, boy, do I need help with organizing.
As I'm going through the different blogs involved w/ this giveaway it has been very interesting to see how the different styles play out in colors, accessories, etc. Your projects turned out very nice!
According to the quiz, I am Country Classic. I'm looking at my open kitchen/dining/living area as I type and I see: samplers hanging on the walls, ruffled floral valances, oak cabinets with arched doors...yeah, maybe they're onto something. :)
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Elegant classic . . . hmmmm . . .
Is that picture (the one with the two babies looking out of the window) an IKEA picture? I LOVE it!
Global Casual...nice
I am global casual! Fits well....
I'm Elegant Classic....very true. :)
Very nice! I'm a Bohemian Classic.
I'm also earthy casual. Crystal Williams boilers4769@yahoo.com
I'm also earthy casual...I don't feel relaxed until my house is in order...which is sometimes quite difficult. (:
Cool, we got the same results! Earthy Casual, if only I could transform my rooms with this style in mind.
I'm country casual. :)
I am country casual, I have heard of Home Goods but never seen any of their stuff, I love what you have done to your house with your GC - wish me luck I hope I win =)
I'm "Earthy Casual". Glad to finally identify my so-called style.

I am also earthy casual, but I don't consider that to be shades of pink. I like greens, blues, and browns.

I'm country casual. I'd say that's pretty accurate.
Bohemian Classic!
They claim I'm Country Casual, but declined to say which country. I always thought I was more Early Chaos. Clearly, I need help.

Earthy Casual... I think we might be sisters! :)
I'm "Elegant Classic." Your house is looking great. I can't believe how many things you were able to get!
It says I'm Elegant Classic, but I don't see it. Earthy Bohemian would be more appropriate, I think. Wonder which question(s) I answered wrong?
I'm global casual, which I think is pretty accurate :)
BOHEMIAN ECLECTIC which is not really accurate at all.
But I love HomeGoods!
Jewelee
I'm earthy casual too - great picks!
I'm an Earthy Casual as well! Do they have a "Hodge Podge Casual?" That describes our house perfectly! Nice wedding pics in the bedroom w/ matchy matchy bedding, then Bryan has a HUGE picture frame on the wall of his Dave Mathews Band and Phish concert tickets. ;)

I"m bohemium casual. I can't wait to peruse the sight! Woo hoo!
hey jen, i'm earthy casual, too. :) just bought a super cute lamp at home goods on sunday!
Elegant Classic, which is spot on.
I love Home Goods! You can get so much for so little there.
I'm Country Eclectic, which is somewhat right. I think I'm a little more bohemian.
My style was "Country Classic" and the description was pretty accurate. However, I hate the word "country" in there. I'm such a city girl!
I'm "Elegant Classic"!! Right on the button.
I'm really excited that you were able to get some CUTE stuff for REALLY reasonable!
Loved the make-over!
Earthy Casual...seems about right.
Hmm, says I'm "global casual", and I can definitely see that (although much of my Indonesia things are still packed away). Love the mix & match jammies on the boys in that one short, btw!
My style is earthy casual which I think is pretty accurate!
The office makeover looks great!

I am Country Casual! I Truly HEART HomeGoods. They are my favorite store; seriously my husband intentionally drives the other direction as not to pass the store. We have lots of stuff from there, but there is always more that catches my eye. Thanks for the chance to win.

Wow! congrats on this review. How awesome is this!
I would say I am an earthy color with a casual decorating sense. Actually anything in a Pier One catalog pretty much sums up what I would love my house to look like, lol

Trish, you are a Global Casual
Your home is warm and inviting, and expresses your curiosity and zest for life. You have wide-ranging interests, and an appreciation for many different cultures and ways of life. You bring a sense of the far-flung world into your home through its décor through unique or artisan-made treasures. Objects in your home tend to reflect your personality, your passions, your values, and your eclectic interests. This gives your home a sense of intrigue and comfort.
You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns to create a cozy effect.
My survey says I'm GLOBAL CASUAL. I think it really means "you have 3 children and no time, money, or energy to decorate so you say the toys, games and shoes make the house look "lived-in", cozy and casual". I would love to have a comfy let minimalist house someday...
I am Earthy Casual! I am amazed on how much you got with your $500.00, amazing!
Global casual...pretty accurate assessment for our home! The pix are great. Loved the review!
I'm country casual, and it is pretty accurate.
