HomeGoodies

HomeGoods is SO good right now. I spent copious amounts of time at both of my HG locations this weekend. I was long overdue for a visit as I had not been since about mid-December. Not going to HomeGoods for over a month is quite normal for most people - for me, it's like holding my breath.

So as I roamed the hallowed aisles, I spotted so much good loot. Only a couple of items came home with me, but I documented the loot to show you all the goodies in case you are near a HG and something strikes your fancy:

They had two of these ENORMOUS blue ginger jar lamps - hard to see the size here, but they were quite big...and gorgeous. If only I had a big spot for them.



I was the most impressed with their pillow selection - I'm usually not a huge fan of HG pillows, but they had a ton this time. And in fabrics that I recognized (and that I actually own). These orange ones definitely caught my eye (the graphic ones...not the iridescent rose-covered ones).



And so did all of these pillows...



 

 

Another lamp that was right up my alley:




I've been pining over this lamp below for a while...I'm surprised that it's still available and on clearance! But I don't have anywhere to put it...so sad.

 

I adore these boxes - they had them in so many different colorways...I'm still pondering how to use them because at least one needs to make its way to the AO House!




And I like this painting...not sure why as there is nothing particularly special about it...but I just liked it. It was prettier in person...

 

I left all of these goodies at the store, but I did pick up a couple of fun pieces...and Tyler and I picked up some great items for her dressing room...all in all, a very productive HG weekend.

  1. Which is your favorite HomeGoods in this area? I have just been to the Potomac Mills one and wonder if I should be checking out others.

  2. The best one for me is the Kingstowne location. That's where I took all of these pictures. The one on Rt.7/Bailey's Crossroads is OK, but not my favorite. I've heard from Matters of Style that the Rockville location is also outstanding...

  4. Oh...love your picks Acorn! They are lovely...I DO want that lamp...it would actually match what I am envisioning for our main level bath, but I don't think it will fit!
