On Sunday we finally got our own Home Goods store in our area! I’m SO happy not to have to drive 45 minutes or 2+ hours to shop at Home Goods.

If you have been on another planet and don’t know what Home Goods is – imagine TJ Maxx but without the clothes and shoes – just the home decor and furniture. THAT’S what a Home Goods store is.

As you can imagine, the Grand Opening was a madhouse! I just went to do a little recon – just to see what the store looked like. 

It’s a nice store and I’m thrilled we have this great resource. I don’t want to sound greedy, but I wish the store was larger like the ones I’ve shopped at in Atlanta and Baltimore.

There are two empty stores to the left of this picture {above} and I would love to see HG bust through the walls and create a bigger store.  . . . a girl can dream ;o)

I went back to the store yesterday and shopped for three different projects. SO much good stuff and great prices! The store was busy with shoppers finding deals.

Many of the larger pieces I took pictures of on Sunday were gone. I heard a couple of employees talking about unloading one truck and another truck was on the way.

I loved this saw-horse table which looked like it was made of reclaimed wood from a palette. I took this picture on Sunday – it was gone on my return.

I ran into another Dream House designer at the store . . . . I have a feeling that you’ll be seeing items from Home Goods at this year’s Dream House.

So happy to have Home Goods close! Are you?

This room has such great textures and is coastal chic while being very welcoming, don’t you think?

The windows could have disappeared but by using woven blinds, the designer has brought visual weight up into the room.

I love how the drape mimics the windows – stacks of color from visually heaviest to visually lightest – just lovely.

Lots to love in this room – what is your favorite?

How cool is this slick modern space punctuated by bold pops of blue and orange?

There is just so much to like in this room – and do you notice that in the back right corner those are cabinets – not painted walls. The orange accent color is taken from the cabinets.

The designers have cleverly placed the accent colors around the room to keep the eye moving. Just a beautiful room . . . what do you think?

How FUN is this room? The combination of colors painted in horizontal stripes really adds personality to what might otherwise be a boring box.

If you like this color combination, you can try these similar Sherwin Williams colors: Sea Salt (SW6204) which is a soft blue/gray; Antiquity (SW6402) which is the pea green; and Coral Reef (SW6606).

The sofa/daybed was made from two twin mattresses.  I love this room – what do  you think?

LOVE this fabulous Space of the Day!

What a fun & modern treatment using simple, inexpensive wardrobe mirrors to create this focal point above the desk.

Tell me, what do you think it? Like it or lump it?

I hope you are enjoying our Space of the Day features and getting inspiration for your own home from them.

Today’s space has great textures – from the linens to the paneled wall and rustic side table.  It makes me want to fall into plushness of the bed!

I find that master bedrooms are often the last room in the house to be “designed” . . . is that true of your house?

Ready for a dream Space of the Day? This tub is amazing!

I think a key to creating a tub area that looks an luxurious as it feels, introduce texture. {Click the photo to enlarge.}

The stone, tile and wood treatments really jazz up this space. If the owners had just left if drywall, it would not have the same WOW!

While the rustic style might not be for everyone, you can take the treatment and make selections that are just your style.

What do you think of this tub? Is it someplace you could relax?

Our Space of the Day has gone to the dogs!! But isn’t this such a great idea?

Reclaim wasted wall cavity space for Fido!

If you’re building or remodeling and have a pooch who needs a palace, this is a great idea!
