HomeGoods Has THE Goods


This is a compensated review from BlogHer and HomeGoods

homegoodsicon

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.

I would say my style is very casual. I am pretty clueless when it comes to design.

I'm an earthy casual, but hubby would be the elegant causual.

lauradowning on October 7, 2009 at 9:36 AM said...

Elegant Classic--it surprised me a little but maybe it's true?!

Our Journey Towards Forever on October 7, 2009 at 9:50 AM said...

I'm "Earthy Casual" and think it's pretty accurate. By the way I love all of your new furnishings!

Jones on October 8, 2009 at 2:41 PM said...

Lori, you are an Elegant Classic

You have a refined sensibility with an appreciation for history and tradition in your furniture and your rooms. You value beauty, things that are well crafted, and family heirlooms. You are visually sensitive and understand how symmetry and a formal layout give order to a room, and hence your home is refined and calming. You are not taken in by the trends of the moment. You go for things with a timeless appeal, and appreciate old-fashioned virtues like manners and handwritten notes and making a home that is welcoming for others.

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.

I'm Earthy Casual. I think it fits me to a "T." I'm actually moving out of my parents house at the end of the month into my first apartment (que excitment!) and everything I've bought was from HomeGoods! I'm with you...that place has some great deals!

I'm earthy casual too! And it made me realize that there are too many pieces in my decorating that don't fit into that category and explain why I don't like them. Taking the quiz helped me get more focused and aware of my style. Thanks!
