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.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 459 Newer› Newest»Wowzers - you found some amazingly cute, functional items at such great prices! :) SCORE! I took the quiz...and apparently, I am Bohemian Casual. That can also be translated as, "you have 4 little boys - ages 5 and under. your husband is pastor/student and you live on a tight budget...but, you make the most of your toy-laden, mis-matched home! :)
Earthy Casual for me but the palate of colors wasn't my fave!
hey jen! i'm Country Eclectic.
Global Casual. Thank you for the giveaway.

Earthy Casual. Same as you! And from the descrip: "You value order. You feel happiest if your home is well organized. You understand that when your house is in order, your mind feels clearer." Holy crap yes.
Elegant Classic
OK that's a surprise, I was expecting "To Chicken or Cheap to Trying Anything" maybe that wasn't a category! I love other people's good decorating but never want to make too much of a committment in my own home! Yikes! I'd love to try something braver and newer!!

We are about to move into a home twice the size of our current home and hope to create our style. We have a nautical them in the LR and oriental theme in our BR, hoping to incorporate some of these family treasures in our new home as we pull together a style all our own! Looking forward to decorating with Stampin' Up! wall vinyl too--that stuff is cool!

Angie, you are a Global Modern
You keep up with culture, style, and trends but have a classical appreciation for beautiful forms, good design, and quality craftsmanship. You prefer the streamlined and a bit of breathing room to the overly embellished or cluttered. But your style is far from cold, because your aesthetic interests are wide-ranging and far-flung. You appreciate other cultures and like mixing the old or the unusual with the new and modern. Objects in your home tend to reflect your personality, your passions, your travels, and your eclectic interests–uniting to form a well-edited collection.
You value creativity. You are stylish and fun loving, and can be an inspiration to others. You have a natural sense of drama, and you know you have to be willing to take risks—whether with colors, finishes, furniture choices, or ideas—for your home to stand out. Your home can be happy and lively and the place all of your friends want to be.

Scott, you are an Earthy Casual
You're interested in creating a welcoming home where people feel comfortable and happiness flourishes. You appreciate the warmth and individuality of natural materials and handcrafted things and are inspired by colors and forms from nature. You love mixing up different textures and are sensitive to the tactile qualities of objects. Your style is grounded and solid, not flighty or frilly. And you are never taken in by the trend of the moment.
You value order. You feel happiest if your home is well organized. You understand that when your house is in order, your mind feels clearer. Rather than a lot of meaningless objects or overly-designed items, you are happier with a few well-placed things. Your home is your respite from a busy life. Try to avoid letting things into your home that you don't really love.
