Dreams Do Come True! {Two $250 HomeGoods Gift Cards & A Special Invitation!}

When I moved to the Seattle area, one of the things I was the most bummed about was there was no HomeGoods store. WHAT? I know! I had to drive THREE long hours one way to get to my beloved HomeGoods stores in Portland. Not acceptable, but sometimes necessary.

Yes, we do have a TJ Maxx nearby that carries home items and for that I have been grateful. But if you haven’t experienced a full 20,000 square foot HomeGoods store, you’ve seriously missed out on one of the handful of places I’ve found to shop for a wide selection of affordable, unique and yet always in style accessories, lamps, rugs, furniture, and all kinds of home items!

Dreams Do Come True! {Two $250 HomeGoods Gift Cards & A Special Invitation!}

All over my house there are lovely things I’ve picked up at HomeGoods over the years. Oh, how I’ve missed shopping there on a regular basis! Kinda makes me all teary just thinking about it.

But cry no more. Things are a changing around here.

I guess this is just the month for dreams coming true (did you see yesterday’s post?) because in one short week, HomeGoods is opening not one but TWO HomeGoods stores in the Seattle area. {HIGH FIVES, Seattle people!} And thank you HomeGoods for hearing our cries! One will open in Federal Way and one in Lynnwood on June 24.

Dreams Do Come True! {Two $250 HomeGoods Gift Cards & A Special Invitation!}

And it couldn’t have happened at a better time for me (I’m sure they planned this around my needs, right?) because I am entering into full REDECORATE mode around here and I cannot wait to be one of the first shoppers through the door. I might trample everyone to be FIRST.

Would you like to come shopping at HomeGoods with me?
{I promise not to knock you down trying to beat you to the lamp aisle!}

Well, let’s try to make that shopping trip happen, shall we?! Obviously some of you live too far away to join me in real life {sadness!, I wish you could all come with me} but I’m going to bring my camera when I shop there for the first time and it will be almost as fun as being there yourself. Kinda. Heheh. But if that isn’t enough, I have another idea.

Today I’ve got two $250 HomeGoods gift cards to give away in honor of the two new Seattle stores opening on June 24th!

*One $250 HomeGoods gift card will go to a reader anywhere in the U.S. so you can have fun shopping at your own local HomeGoods store and we can compare what we find.

*Then the OTHER $250 HomeGoods gift card will be awarded to a Seattle local!

Here is the plan! If you live in the Seattle area, you can sign up to win your own $250 HomeGoods card PLUS an invitation to join me and my girls at a private invitation-only event at the new Federal Way HomeGoods store in just one week (on a day PRIOR to the store actually opening!)! YAHOO! You’ll be one of the first people to shop at the beautiful new HomeGoods store! THAT is a dream come true!!

  18. Kate

    I’ve been looking for the perfect nightstands/reading lamps for our bedroom, as well as a similar set of tables/lamps for near our couch in the living room. i always get buy-shy at those stores, and end up leaving empty-handed. A gift card would help me really take the plunge!

  19. Sallie

    Our HomeGoods store isn’t very close, either, but it is DEFINITELY worth the drive! I’m always drawn to their containers–baskets, little boxes, holders for papers and office supplies. Oh-oh! I’m starting to salivate! Gotta run!

    After hearing about Homegoods all these years, I just moved to Rockwall, TX where we have one!! What would I buy? Well we just moved in two weeks ago so the list is long. We have two extra bedrooms that need bedding so that’s probably where I’d start. Thanks for having such a fun give away. :)

  38. Julia

    I have too many needs to say just one…have a empty corner in my living room that I don’t know what I want, will know when I see it. I want a starbust mirror in my dining/home office, hallway table and end table for my bedroom. My favorite thing to find at Home Goods that I can always use is beautiful art signed by the artist! With their prices I could probably get all on my list with the $250.00!

  51. Terri

    oh anything … absolutely anything from Home Goods is a fabulous find!!!!!!!!! :)

  52. Betsie

    I’d love to buy some things to freshen up the kitchen and adjoining family room which I am in the process of re-doing. Thanks!

  84. Maureen

    Love Homegoods! We’re about to do a complete kitchen remodel so I’m sure I could find LOTS of things I’d need! We just uncovered an exposed brick chimney that we want to incorporate into our design. Yay! But this changes our color palette slightly so I’m sure I’ll need some need decorative do-dads, not to mention rugs, dishtowels, etc. The one thing I don’t need is more dishes. I have about 8 sets, which I’m currently packing up!

  85. Christine

    I am lucky enough to have 2 Home Goods within 10 miles of my home. I like to go from one to the other to make sure I haven’t missed anything.

    I would love to find an area rug for my upcoming master bedroom update!!

  86. Erin Buchanan

    I would dream of getting a new rug for our living room, perhaps a new lamp,or a few new decorative accents for summer decorating. Oh the decisions!!!!!

    I am thrilled by this news! The only HomeGoods I have been to is in Palm Desert and I have a number of items in our Seattle home from that store. Thank you for this very exciting update! Another store that I miss from Southern California is EXPO (part of Home Depot), this is like having access to a design center without being a designer. Not sure if the store is still around but it was wonderful and very inspiring.

  104. Joanne B.

    How awesome is this? Thanks so much for this chance to win! I love Home Goods! ANYTHING there would make me completely happy, but I think I would look for some items to “home up” my lanai for the summer- placemats and napkins for the patio table, a table centerpiece that says WOW! and some flower pots to scatter around…Thanks so much!

  115. julie

    A new comforter for the our bed!

  116. BJ

    Ahhh! Retail therapy – no one offers it like Home Goods! I can easily spend an hour going through my Home Goods, and when I come out, whether I’ve spent a dollar, or just gotten some great ideas, I feel better! I could use some retail therapy right about now…

  117. Su

    Home Goods is right up the street from me. . ..I would love a new chair for our living room. Something funky and colorful!

  118. Loretta

    I had never even heard of Home Goods until I started looking at the decorating blogs. So, lo and behold, I moved 30 minutes southwest of where I used to live and voila, there it was–HomeGoods! I remember seeing the big sign from the road and being so excited. I go there all the time looking for some of the cool lamps that I have seen on the website or from the posts that people make about their “finds” but no matter when I go, the lamp supply is depleted with just a few left. Maybe my luck will change and I will find something with my $250 gift card. I’d like to get a rug and some lamps, and some kind of desk and adhesive wall art and a designer to pull it all together for me. ha! :-)

  119. BJ

    As a new empty nester, I would love to make the kids’ bathroom into a spa-like experience – new fluffy towels, new shower curtain, new bath mats, and Home Goods would be just the place to get that done!

  120. Sam

    We’re closing on our new house tomorrow and this would be such a great treat for all of our needs! Right now I’m in search of a really awesome living room rug and some fun lighting.

  121. Barbara

    I justed visited my first Home Goods store last week!!!!! Can’t wait to go back….love it.

  123. Karissa

    HomeGoods is THE BEST! I would spend it on some outdoor accessories for our back patio!

  124. Mary

  125. Tina D

  130. Jill

    We have been renting a home for the past 2 years, and are finally at a place where we can purchase our own home. I would love to be able to decorate my new space with some of the amazing things from Home Goods. It would definitely make a new house feel like a true home.

  131. Terry

    I, too, have to drive 3 hours up to Chicago to get to the nearest Home Goods store. Maybe they’ll build one closer to me, too!

  132. Danielle

  135. Whitney

  136. jasmine

    If I were lucky enought to win, I’d definetly use the gift card to buy a new dining room table!

  141. Joyce

    We just got our first HomeGoods store last fall in the Pittsburgh area. Before that, I had to do mega-shopping at my sister’s store in Gillette, NJ. Right now I’m hunting for some new lamps but even if I don’t find them…I can always find stuff I didn’t know I couldn’t life without at HG!! We call it HomeGoodies.
    Joyce

  142. Terry

    Melissa, I would dream of getting a black and white stripe runner for my front porch.

  143. Leslie

    Oh this would indeed be a dream come true. Outdoor items would definitely be on my list!

  144. sharron

    I love, love, Home Goods we moved from San Antonio where I had one to east Texas, but I do know they have one in Dallas. I would love to be able to shop there again. I love everything they have.

  145. Jana

    Found out a few months ago that there is a HomeGoods store opening right by my house in Nebraska. Definitely screamed with excitement when I heard. Would love to win a gift card and get some new lamps!

  146. Brooke

    I just discovered Home Goods a year ago and I’m OBSESSED. Everything in my home is now from that store. If I had the gift card I would stock up on bed linens and throw pillows for our currently depressing guest rooms.

  147. tina b

    I’m on the hunt for a new dining room rug…something in between Pottery Barn and Ethan Allen. Thanks for the opportunity!

    I love HOMEGOODS! The closest one to me is 45 minutes away, but that doesn’t stop me. Love it! :) And I could use some new lamps…mine are looking kind of sorry!

  161. Kathryn

    I would love anything chevron from Home Goods. I am still trying to find the perfect piece to bring chevron into my house.

  162. Laura

    I would, of course, go check out the lamps first. I might look for a cute little table. Or a pretty rug. With $250 at HomeGoods, I might be able to get all 3!

  163. Alyson

    oh i would love to add some spunk to my house with new pillows and decorative items!

I’m a lucky girl. Happy Shopping to you and all your Seattle- mates!!

  170. Renee Walsh

    I have a home goods and two TJ maxx stores in commuting distance and I try to stop by at least once every 6 weeks. I am now looking for a floor lamp and missed the one that I should have bought when I saw it months ago. I am currently decorating my deck room that will soon be covered by a gazebo. Bought some outside decorating accessories yesterday. I love HOME GOODS!! and I love your posts and can’t wait to see what *you* find and what you do with it….
    Thanks for your inspiration

  171. kelly at Talk of the House

    I have to drive 2 hours to get to the nearest one, but it would be well worth it if I were to win. I am looking for a small wicker table for my porch, a dresser for my son’s apartment, and ANYTHING for my daughter’s dorm room! It would be fun shopping.
    crossing my fingers!
    Kelly

  172. Mary Happymommy

    I would decorative pillows.

  173. Elizabeth S

    We have a Home Goods just one hour away. We are about to get our kitchen cabinets painted, so I’ll need some new accessories to help tie in the new look of the cabinets!

  174. Vicki Cluxton

    I would get new bath accessories as we are redoing our awful bathroom! Love love love Home Goods!

  175. susan

    I had no idea they were opening a Seattle store! WOW! I would love to find an accent chair to brighten up my family room.

  176. BETHANY UHL

    I am moving to a different state and will need goodies to help furnish my new house. Help me Home Goods!

  177. MargotHD

    Oh goodness what would I do with $250 at homegoods? First thing would be to replace these awful curtains we have up in our current home. I imagine ANYTHING would look better than what we have now. I would also look to redecorate our bathroom. It is definitely the least attended to room — some new side tables, a bit more space, some cute decorating bits. Anything would spruce up that tired room.

  178. Elizabeth

    Wow! I have no idea what I would get at Home Goods right now…so many things. Our closest is about 3.5 hours away. We’re in the process of trying to buy a new house, so I’m sure I’ll “need” something after we close. :)

  179. Debbie McFarland

    We are about to do some remodeling in our bathroom and kitchen (ugh!) and would love to use it to get some new things for it!

  180. Pam

    We just got our very own Homegoods in Tampa, too! The closest one used to be about 30 minutes away (a small price to pay) but the new store is less than 10 minutes from my house…HOORAY!

  181. Teresa

    I am redoing our guest house and need new lamps and accessories which TJ Maxx would have. I have a TJ Maxx 7 miles from me and another home goods combination 45 minutes away.

  182. Kristine

    We have a HomeGoods about 30 minutes away but I don’t get there as often as I would like. Probably a good thing for my wallet! Like you, we haven’t been in our new house very long and slowly tweaking things around here to make it more our home instead of the previous owners.

  183. Elaine

    I love Home Goods! My closest one is 45 min away, so I am not there often, but when I get there, I just go with the flow of their current inventory! There is always something that “speaks to me”!!

  184. Teresa

    I liked you on facebook!

  185. Susan

    So excited for a Seattle area store!

  186. Pattie

    We have a great Homegoods here. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  187. Carolyn Buck

    I absolutely LOVE Homegoods! I am also an interior decorator so I spend lots of money there shopping for other people. I finally got the TJMaxx rewards card and have gotten numerous $20 gift certificates to spend at Homegoods! Shopping at Homegoods is therapy for me…when I’m feeling down, I go to Homegoods to browse and see what’s new. Sometimes I just NEED a browsing session at Homegoods!

  188. Jessica

    I would love some new living room decor to brighten things up a bit. My living room has come far from where it originally began as painted pink, then hunter green (eek, that was the boyfriend being totally freaked out by the pink and going all “manly”) and finally a neutral shade today which is inviting some “cheerfulness” to finish it off.

  189. Pam

    I love HomeGoods and shop there at least once a week. I’m so glad they are only 20 minutes away.

  190. cassie

    they have so much awesomeness! i really want some fun new dishes, so maybe that!

  191. jane

    Oh how I love HomeGoods! I was just in there on Monday….

  192. Shannon P.

    I would love to find gorgeous framed wall art or a mirror for above our mantel at Home Goods. I stop in often, just waiting for the right thing to be there!

  193. Jeanne

    I’ve never been to Home Goods even though we have one in the neighboring town. I need to go check it out now. I could use some new bathroom accessories.

  194. nancye6

    I would look for wall decor. I’m tired of looking at blank walls !

  195. Joanne

    I LOVE HomeGoods! And practically every stinking {well, not stinking… gorgeously gorgeous} lamp in my home I got at HomeGoods. Seriously… I am sitting in my chair and from my vantage point I count 8 lamps from HG…. but, that’s just what I can see!

    You know how many lamps $250 would buy? ;)

    -Joanne

  196. Nancy

    I love Homegoods! I only have to drive about 30 minutes but honestly it probably needs to be farther away from me. I can do some serious damage there!

  197. Kathie

    I love Homegoods too! We have a brand new house that needs some serious decorating!

  198. Jennifer S

    Love HomeGoods. They always have interesting and unusual pieces.

  199. Jenni

    love Home Goods!! I’m about to move away to a land without HG (west Texas) and would love to have a last ditch shopping spree.

  200. Kim

    I love Home Goods and could use some decorations for my house! I just got married, and I’m trying to make our house nice and homey!

  201. Melissa Allen

    I would get patterns patterns patterns!

  202. Kiira

    HomeGoods is my happy place. And I can only imagine the fun I’d have with a $250 gift card! I’d take the plunge of a fabulous rug for my family room. It’s long overdue for an upgrade!

  203. Erica

    I Love HomeGoods! My sister-in-law took me on a shopping trip to one in Portland and I was overwhelmed by the size of the place! Thanks for the reminder to go back!

  204. Cassandra Hess

    Oh, I would love to be able to shop with you, and your witty daughter. Alas, I would just love to shop!

  205. Eleanor

    I would get lamps with my gift card.

  206. Jessica

    I Love Home Goods! Would love to get some new lightweight bedding and a pair of lamps, among whatever else I could find!!

  207. Kellie

    I love HomeGoods so much that I drive an hour to get to the closes one to my house!

  208. Gina

    I don’t live close to a Home Goods either so I would have to shop while on vacation. =D Sounds like fun to me. ;)

  209. Heather Duren

    I have a bare blank wall in my living room begging for something to adorn it.

  210. Lisa K

    I love your blog – it’s so inspiring! (pun intended :-) And I love Home Goods. We just moved to TN, just purchased a home and are renovating it. I could make great use of that awesome gift card! Keep on inspiring us.

  211. carolyn shultz

    I would get some colorful dishes from HomeGoods for summer entertaining!

  212. Sandy

    I have a small Home Goods in my city and it’s my favorite place to shop. It would be hard to say what I’d get as they change their stock so often. But, probably pillows, lamps, just accessories to pretty up my home more.

  213. Angie Hernandez

    Oh the twig table is so beautiful! I would love to win. I would get pillows and plates for my living room. :)

  214. Julie R

    We just moved into a new house, so there are tons of things that I need and want.

  215. Kelly

    I love Home Goods – I stop in at least once a week. My store just got a new supply of apothecary jars that I have my eye on.

  216. Patti Milbourn

    Getting ready to downsize and totally redecorate, so I will be browsing Home Goods for lots of accessories and whatever else catches my eye! Love it!!!

  217. Marcia

    Aaaaaah – we close on our dream lake house in 4 days. I would love to go shopping for goodies at Home Goods. I always find things I love in that that store!

  218. Betty Montgrain

    I LOVE Homegoods!!! So many wonderful things for our patio. We love to sit out in the midwest and enjoy the sunny mornings with coffe and donuts!

  219. Emily

    I too make that 3 hour drive to the Portland Home Goods. I hadn’t heard they were opening up here. Hooray!

  220. Kathy

    A rug! A rug!

  221. Jenna

    I love the Home Goods store – my mother first introduced me to all its wonders when I was in college! We do have one local and I keep going back from more. Thank you for the opportunity.

  222. Andi T.

  223. Karen Lucas

  224. Wendi Clanton

    I LOVE Homegoods! We just moved so I have dozens of blanks walls and spaces that need new, cute things!!

  225. Jeannie A.

    We have recently bought a “fixer-upper.” I would get a smile out of my husband if I shopped at HomeGoods. Money saver!

  226. Christy

    I am one of the lucky ones who has a HomeGoods less than 10 minutes away! My whole house is from HG! I am on the lookout for chairs and a rug for my family room.

  227. launa

    I’ve never been to home goods :blush: I’m scared to go! LOL!! I have been dying to make a pretty little space on my front porch! This would be just the ticket!

  228. michele m fry

  231. Yokoo

    HomeGoods is by far one of my favorite stores here in Atlanta! I shop there almost once a week! It’s right near a fabric store I shop at and I spend more time in HG then any other place.

  233. Karen

  238. Mrs. C

  240. Sarah

    I LOVE Homegoods!! I would get new pillows for the couch. I am searching for new chairs in the living room, picture frames, and lots of home accessories. We moved in to our new home last October and I have been VERY slowly working on redecorating!

  241. Tina Rheinford

    I would love to spruce up my back deck.

  242. Katie Rivera

    LOVE Homegoods – it’s where the women in my family do their best bonding :)

  243. Kate

    I have found so many wonderful things for my home (lamps, rugs, towels, dishes, the list goes on and on) at Home Goods. I’m not sure I would have your strength to live so far away from a HG for YEARS! Have fun at the opening next week!

  244. Amy

    I would probably buy new throw pillows. I need some updating in my living room.

    We had a HomeGoods 5 minutes from our house in Rhode Island. You could probably say I lived there! To have one close again? And to possibly win a gift card and get to shop with you? That’s just so much good stuff all wrapped in one!!!!

    I think I need an ottoman…. But I can’t decide between a storage ottoman or a cute pouf.

  262. Sarah J.

    I’ve never been, because the closest HomeGoods is also about 2-3 hours away. But I’ve always wanted to go, and this would definitely spur a trip!! Something fun and funky for the deck would be a great purchase :)

  263. Heidi

    I would love a funky piece of home goods furniture, or a blingy blue chair, definitely some new bath mats, and perhaps some patterned pillows.

    What wouldn’t I love from HomeGoods?!! As a floral designer, I’m really drawn to their glassware and pottery – great inspiration for floral arrangements or plant applications in colorful pottery!! Just tooo much good stuff!! Fingers crossed!!

  289. Nzzy A

  301. Kris

    I love Homegoods. I really need a new rug for my dining room, but you can always find something you HAVE to have.

  302. Pam

    Wow! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win the gift card! My house could sure use some new things to freshen it up a bit. It has been quite a long time since we have had anything new. Hmm, lamps, an area rug, new towels…oh the possibilities!

  303. Donna

    My favorite thing to do is to drop off my 3 crazy boys at school and wander the aisles of HomeGoods like a zombie. It gives me the energy to face the day before they come home. Curses summer vacation! $250 would be an awesome way to kick off back to school in September!

  304. Rachel

    Hey Melissa…this is your we-really-should-be-friends fellow church planting wife over in West Seattle and I, too, have been counting down to the openings! Hooray! And if I don’t win the preview visit with your daughters (which I likely won’t since I don’t do Facebook or twitter…sad, but true), I have every intention of either stalking you or HomeGoods to make sure that I get to walk the aisles with you sometime this summer! : ) Oh, and I’d be on a mission for outdoor accessories for our backyard…we have every intention of maxing out every hour of our gorgeous Seattle summers outside!

  305. holly

    I would look for new chairs for my living room, accent pieces and wall decor!

  306. Rebecca Rojas

    I can’t even begin to imagine what I might buy with a $250 shopping spree to home goods. Our new home is being built and will be ready in September. With 2 HGs within a 10 mile radius, I visit both stores weekly, looking for whatever I can find. I am currently looking for pillows to accent my new bedding, a piece of furniture for our flat screen, something to put at the foot of our bed…Plus, any other fun accents to make our new house a home!

  307. Jessica P.

    I am 2 hours away from Homegoods, but it is always worth it! We are moving into our brand new home next week and I am in desperate need to decor!

  308. Betty

    I would love to get two lamps. I already have them picked out!

  309. Amanda

    I’ve only been to HomeGoods once since we moved into our new house, and I know if I go back there will be much purchasing…would love to be able to get some accessories for these empty rooms!

  310. Jessie C.

    I’d like decor pillows and curtains for our living room.

  311. Cynthia

    A new rug for our family room!

  312. Tammy Skipper

    I think the question is, what WOULDN’T I get at Home Goods? Oh how FUN it would be to shop with you!

  313. Ruth Stitt

    I’d love to get curtains and rugs and pillows for my bedroom!!

  314. Lori

    First thing I would buy is bathroom towels! Haha I haven’t replaced our towels in so many years they are embarrassing!

  315. Charlotte

    I am not sure where I would begin – I would love a new rug, new towels, bedlinen… or I have a picture of plates on a wall that I would like to try to replicate. It is a long long list!

  316. Wendy Webb

    Super excited about this!! So many place I could spruce up!

  317. Sandy

    So excited about HomeGoods coming to the Seattle area. I need new end tables for the living room and would love to win a gift certificate.

  318. Cassandra

    HomeGoods is the best store on earth! I can’t even begin to list all the stuff I would buy if I won!

  319. Deana

    Ohhhh….home goods…..such an incredible place! I find things in there I like and dream of what I can change or who I can give it to…just so I can buy the latest treasure….it’s just that there are so many treasures in those stores!

  320. arnnette

    I HEART Home Goods! I can take two hours just slowly walking in each isle. There’s not just in and out in Home Goods. I do need a new area rug. I love mixing bowls and casserole dishes. Decorations in my garden. A new look in my daughters room. This would be fun! Thank you for the chance to win:)

  321. Wendy Webb

    super excited about this! so many place to spruce up!

  322. Julie Schock

    Home Goods just opened in my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago and I was one of the first to go through the doors…I was SOOOO excited! Too many things there to say exactly what I’d buy but I have had my eye on a cute little cabinet that would be great in my bathroom. :)

  323. Josie

    I LOVE HomeGoods. You never know what you will find there, always a fun adventure. I would love to stock up on Kitchen items, they have a huge selection of top of the line cookware.

  324. Gina

    I would love to get some new pieces for outdoor dining!

  325. Katie

    Oh Home Goods…my true love. I’m searching for a big large mirror for my entry way right now, a long tv console, and a floor lamp that doesn’t lean terribly for our bedroom.

  326. Robin Walston

    I’m re-doing my guest room this summer and I’m sure I could do a lot with a HomeGoods gift card.

  327. Kim Paddleford

    I live in Oklahoma City so the closest HomeGoods store is in Dallas. However, I’m always looking for a good reason to go shopping in Dallas! I am currently designing my home office/studio and would love to find some cool accessories like lamps, rugs, and artwork. Thanks for the opportunity and I really enjoy your blog!

  328. ann

    Never heard of Home Goods so I am sure I would just enjoy shopping for whatever!

  329. Kerry

    Love, love, love Homegoods! I spy a few items I got there from where I’m sitting at my computer now!

  330. Raine

    HomeGoods stores are like DIY stores, the possibilities are endless. Who wouldn’t want to win a gift card? Best place to shop for unique finds!!

  331. Julia

    Ahh! I would love a gift card. We really need an area rug for our house!

  332. andrea

    So thrilled that Home Goods is coming, I have been telling my girlfriends about it for years. We already have a car loaded up for the big opening to attend Alderwood
    Cheers!

  333. Rachel

    I’ve never been to Homegoods because the closest one is 3 hours away. However, I know that I could do some damage with a $250 gift card. And I need a good excuse for a roadtrip to Chicago.

  334. Krissy

    I’m not sure! I can’t wait to see what Home Goods is like! I love TJ Max, when they open next weekend in Federal Way, it will be my first time going to HG!

  335. Rene

    I have shopped Marshalls/Home Goods the entire time my children have been growing up and mostly for them or their rooms! My youngest just left with the Marines and I would love to shop to begin a beautiful master bedroom!

  340. Sharon

    No fair! What about us Canadians who would happily cross the border for a shopping spree?! :)

  341. Suzi

    I adore Homegoods! That store probably furnished most of my house so far. After getting married we had almost nothing for furniture, so we’ve been slowly adding pieces. $250 would go a long ways….

  342. the cape on the corner

    i’m so bad, i’ve gone twice in the past 2 weeks! yesterday i managed to walk out empty handed after talking myself out of buying a huge storage basket. i’d definitely go back and get that, as well as pretty much everything else in the store! thanks so much for offering this!

  343. Tamara

    We just moved into a newer built home with concrete floors and I would love to get a beautiful area rug from Home Goods!

  501. DeAndrea

    Hmmm, what would I buy at Homegoods? Not really sure, I haven’t been into one lately. All of our stuff has been in storage for the last 10 months. I’m sure once we close on our new home the end of this month that I would go crazy and find lots of things my new home needs.

    I need a cabinet that is not very deep but very cute with drawers or shelves for my bathroom because it doesn’t have a medicine cabinet and the cupboard under the sink is small. I need more bathroom storage and Home Goods sells this kind of thing that is hard to find other places. We just did an expensive move from one city to another so winning would come in handy right now.

  554. Lisa

    Oooh. I’m sooo excited. I live in Shoreline and have been looking forward to the Grand Opening in Lynnwood. I just received an email inviting me to an appointment at Home Goods for the “press” on 6/22. I’m not the press, I just have a blog, but I’ve been sharing my joy about the opening on Twitter. I’m not able to go since I work. It would be fun to go shopping with you and your friends.

I also love love love their pillows, and I am in need of some new ones. I would also love to get smaller accents pieces to go throughout our house.

  582. Micaela

    Ah, I am so glad they’re opening a HomeGoods in the area! I just got married and my husband and I desperately need to make our two dissimilar styles into one. I think a trip or two to HomeGoods would fix that ;)

  584. Michelle Smiles

    This is only our second summer in this house and we have this lovely covered back porch. I so much want to make it a cozy space with some chairs and tables and decorations. Or the empty nook in our master bedroom – I want to stake claim to it as my space and make it girly and pretty.

    You helped me find the perfect fit in an online decorating class – Use What You Have Home Redecorating Course. I did sign up and am reading the books (although much of the information is content I understand pretty well), and should start the DVD series sometime next week. Anyway – I also signed up for your blogs – which I read daily – and saw this offer and thought, why not? I would LOVE to win! There are some great HomeGoods stores in the Chicago area and I would have no problem spending that $250 gift card! I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

  687. olivia

    pillows, rugs, and pillows! for my “new” living room!!

  688. Jocelyn

    Where in my home to begin? The beauty of Home Goods is there are so many treasures to be found that you didn’t know you needed until you spot them. Now if only I could convince my husband of this!

  689. Carolyn

    I’ve never spent $250.00 at Homegoods in one trip but I’m confident I’m up for the task! :-)

  696. Bettsi

    The best would be to win the shopping trip with you and your daughters! I could totally go for that, but since Sacramento is not synonymous with Seattle, I’ll take the gift card! So…pick me!

  697. Liz

    Grateful to have a Home Goods store up the highway…Has always been one of my favorite places to shop…I have spent hours in one of these stores, never realizing the time..Would love to win a gift card to shop there.

    A Homegoods store just opened in our area and I visited it for the first time. Unfortunately, it was a 5 minute zip in and out and I hadn’t nearly finished looking at things before I had to leave. Would LOVE a giftcard so that I can decide whether I need a new floor rug, throw rug or sheet set the most!

  706. mary

    gosh I wish I lived in the Seattle area- sounds like a great time shopping! I would love to win as I need to paint stairway and little sitting area upstairs – actually make a sitting area with cute pillows and frames-

  707. Lynn M

    I’d go for pillows and a small footstool.

  708. A. Marie

    I would love to find new bedding for my guest bedroom. I’m near the Seattle area and the shopping trip sounds like a blast.

  709. Debby

    I want soooo many things. We recently painted our kitchen and I would really love some new artwork for my beautiful new walls. Also, I have wanted a matelasse coverlet forever, and maybe I could find one or something similar.

  710. Louise in NE OK

    I go into Home Goods with an open mind…..Sometimes I know what I want before going, but some times I just go!!! Hope to win…even though I would have to travel to visit my daughter to use the card…Maybe I would share with her!

  711. Beth

    I ju came across the this blog and I love all of the ideas I am finding. Love home goods also!

  712. Michelle

    I love Home Goods. I am also in redecorate mode, so I know I could use that gift card up in no time flat.

  713. Jelina

    I just moved so I would get home decor, accessories for the deck and the list goes on…

  714. Morgan H

    I would like a pretty canister for my k-cups, and new throw pillows for the couch!

  715. Morgan H

    Can I get some extra bonus point for living super duper close to you? Close like I drive by your house twice a week on the way to my son’s playgroup? I swear I’m not a stalker! I just uhhh, notice things. :)

  716. Nicole Young

    I live in Santa Barbara but miss visiting the Home Goods in west Los Angeles SOOOO much! A gift card would be a PERFECT excuse for me to make the drive down. My coastal cottage fixer could use a shopping cart full!

  717. Barbara F.

    I love Homegoods! I would get some furniture and decorating items for my new screened in patio.

    So glad you’ll soon be getting your Homegoods fix!

  718. the gypsy magpie

    OMG- I was just at HomeGoods this afternoon and I couldn’t get over what a wonderful haul they had. One thing that immediately caught my eye was a gigantic wire topiary form that I’d LOVE to have in my living room!

  719. Danielle M.

    I would get pillows and decor for my living room. I’ve been wanting to redecorate it forever! Thanks!

  722. Pam Clarke

    I absolutely love love Home Goods! I was just in there shopping yesterday. Picked up some fun red pillows for my patio furniture for our 4th party. I would love to win a gift card. Love the INSPIRED ROOM!

  723. LeAnn Caseria

    I’ve never been to a Home Goods store but LOVE the stuff I’ve seen. New pillows for my sofa would be my first choice. Thank You!

  724. Bernadette

    Oh dear goodness. I don’t know what would be better – the giftcard (thinking secret retreat room decorating in progress) OR the prospect of hanging out at the advance event with you. I’ve gotta get out of my “social avoidance” shell so it would be great to connect with local bloggers for this!

    So totally happy there is one opening in Federal Way – so easy for me to get to!
    I was seriously thinking of taking another trip up to see a friend in BC so that I could beg her to take me to a HomeGoods store. Just. Saying.

  725. roryjean

    I am in dire need of a new shower curtain and I’d love to get some stuff for organizing my kids rooms- family of five and 1000 square feet- gahhhh! So excited for homegoods to open- I live close to the Lynnwood location and nearly peed my pants when I saw the store with the “coming soon” sign.

  726. Melissa R

    I could use some new rugs or a fancy chair….

  727. annie

    HomeGoods has stylish lamps at great value – EVERYTHING at HomeGoods is a great value – and right now I’m loving the settee I saw in a California HomeGoods store so thank goodness they’ve come to Washington!

  728. Dana

    This is the first I’ve ever heard of Home Goods Store so I checked and we have one close by. I’m looking forward to swinging by there in the near future….planning to decorate a new house and want to do it without breaking the bank!!

  729. Kim

    I was so excited to hear HomeGoods was coming to the Seattle area. I have a nursery to finish and have been holding off buying many accessories just for the HomeGoods opening.

  730. Taylor

    My boyfriend and I are closing on our first house this week and I can’t wait to start decorating! I live in Tacoma, so I’m psyched to learn about HomeGoods!

  731. Sue C.

    If I went on a shopping spree at Home Goods I’d get a few items for the living room – end tables, pillows, something for the wall, a lamp or two, and best of all whatever I find just wandering around.

  732. Alyssa

    In the process of redecorating (shhh don’t tell my husband!)…new throw pillows, a floor mirror, side table lamps, the list is endless!

  733. Sally P

    I need to re-do my bedroom. This awesome giveaway would get me started!!!

  734. Kara

    Home goods has it all! And with gift cards I could definitely find allspice very interesting pieces to give my house a summery facelift!

  735. Elizabeth G.

    I need a new rug. I would be so happy if I won!

  736. Karla

    I’ve actually never been to HomeGood’s so I really don’t know what I’d go for but I do love home decor so I’m sure I’d find something. :)

  737. kerri

    I’m dreaming of new sheets and comforter…

  738. Jill

    We just had a new one open near us too. We moved into our new home last fall and I have lots of empty spaces that need some TLC!

  739. Kellie

    I have some big projects I’m working on this summer, so it would be wonderful to win!

  740. Michaela Hoenigman

    I would use this to get the rug we need for our family room and with the great prices at Home Goods, get one for the dinning room too!

  741. mamamia6

    Homegoods simply kicks booty! I would splurge on eclectic and fun outdoor furniture; think chairs, benches, comfy pillows, lanterns, garden pots, obelisks, tableclothes (which by the way have MANY uses….cut and sew for pillow covers and curtains) and of course candles.

  742. Tammi D

    I would get some new stuff to decorate my bedroom!

  743. Jamie Forsyth

    I am in desperate need of some accessories for my master bedroom! Would love some white pillows and some wall art!

  744. Jeannnie

    We are new to the area, and just saw a Home Goods store yesterday- I can’t wait to check it out!

  745. Rosalyn

    I’d love to splurge on “pretties” for my bedroom and bath…the most neglected spaces..I want to want to escape to my bedroom because it looks pretty for once. Oh, and maybe some pretty dishtowels for the kitchen!

  746. Kelly

    I need (okay, want) so many things. Bedding! A rug! Maybe lamps or artwork. A HomeGoods gift card would be great to finish at least one project!

  747. Diana allen

    I too have to travel some distance to get to the nearest Home Goods store and usually make a day of it since I can literally spend hours in that store. I think I leave my fingerprints on every single item. Would love to win this giveaway!!!

  748. Michelle

    Thankfully our Home Goods is relatively close — but not too close! We need new towels for the bathrooms and the kitchen. We’re still using the same ones we received as wedding gifts — almost 9 years ago! They still work, but they are looking a little rough.

  749. Erika

    This is SO fantastic!! As a Seattle local, I have been lusting over the HomeGoods blog for so long. I cannot believe they are going to open TWO stores in the area. Thank you for the heads up!! I would love to peruse their home accents!

  750. Susan Weber

    I love love love Home Goods and would shop to finish decorating my living room. The store is the best!

  751. Melissa

    THANK YOU for the opportunity to win! I have never been to a Home Goods store and I just looked – there is one in Castleton (Indianapolis) – so its only 45 minutes from my home.
    If I win – I promise to take my camera and race you to the lamp isle!

  752. kimberly derusha

    Home Goods is awesome! I could use some free decorating!

  753. heather

    We adore Home Goods! I’m craving new linens for my bedroom – it’s been the same for-ev-er! It would be so cool if you had a “compare what we purchased” post between the national and Seattle winner….

  754. Sarah VM

    I’d love to get a cute shelf and a mirror for my laundry room and foyer.

  755. Gail

    How wonderful that you are about to have HomeGoods shopping close to you! I have to drive over an hour to reach the closest HomeGoods. What fun it would be to shop for accent pieces to add to my porch. I also am looking for throw pillows for my living room. What a great giveaway!

  756. Jan Cantwell

    We just moved into our new house and I could use anything shabby chic.

  757. Amy

    Pretty lamps and little things to make the house more like a home.

    Awesome store! I would buy some home accents and some dog toys/stuff.

  761. Stacia

    I’ve put off doing any additional decorating around our house because my husband was considering out-of-the-area jobs. Now that we’ve decided to stay where we are for awhile longer, I’m so excited to take on a few projects. First stop at HomeGoods would involve new pillows for the bonus room sofa and a comfy reading chair!

  762. Andrea

    I have to drive to Home Goods, but it is always worth the trip! So many beautiful things there…….

  764. Debra Bashaw

    I’m an hour away from Home Goods, but it’s always a stop on any trip. Lamps! Shelves! Unexpected treasures!

  765. Kimberly

    At the end of the month we close on our first house!!!!! I am beyond excited. We are in need of some guest room bedding. This giftcard would greatly help. ☺

  766. Rachel

    I would love to refresh our home, but the budget just isn’t there right now. I always love looking through HomeGoods!

  767. Heather B.

    I’ve never been to Home Goods but I am dying to go!

  768. Denise

    I also have to drive to get to a Home Goods, but definitely worth the trip!

  769. Erika

    I imagine heaven looking something like a HomeGoods store (except my vision comes with a babysitter, too). We’re trying to remodel room by room and HomeGoods seems to have EVERYTHING I need to make this house a home. What a fabulous opportunity!

  770. Melinda

    I would get some of their unique furniture! There is always an usual piece that would provide interest in my home. Love that Home Goods!!!

  771. Dianne Callahan

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE HomeGoods and I shop there all the time. I recently received a cool oar for christmas and then bought a second one and just last weekend I painted them to match my deocr and hung them over two double door spaces in my home. My very first purchase at HomeGoods was a very cool chair in 2006. Since then I now have 3 (!) cats in my life and one of them has pretty much made that chair his personal playground. It is looking pretty sad now, and I would love to replace that chair with another fab HomeGoods find!

  772. Dakota

    I am so excited that HomeGoods is coming to the Seattle area! I would love to find new pillows and accessories for my family room!

  773. gmac

    I would love to get some containers and organizers for cabinets and closets!

  774. Cass

    Throw pillows! New bedding! Towels! Oh my, the things I would buy.

  775. Chrissy

    We are moving in a couple of weeks and would love to be able to decorate our new home.

  780. Janaki

    I would love some new lamps, storage baskets and mirrors!

  781. Carolyn S

    I would look for some fab finds to help decorate our new nursery

  782. Gina F

    We need a rug for our living room which has a teeny tiny one right now. Thanks!

  783. Katherine

    Finally after looking for solutions I was able to get my basement waterproofed (fingers crossed) and now I have another room to decorate. YAY! Mostly I need to spruce it up with some art for the walls. Other functional things would be a room divider, and some storage bins.

  784. Kathy

    I have dreamed about Home Goods coming to the Seattle area for so long! I finally visited a store in southern California last year when I visited my sister and I couldn’t get enough of it! It is hard to decide what I will be shopping for when I am there because there are so many things to see! I loved, loved, loved the entire store! The dishes, the lamps, the cute little table fans, I could go on and on! Can’t wait! Thank you Home Goods for opening these stores! I will be in Federal Way to see you as soon as I can!

  785. Becky

    They are jsut building a Home Goods store in Memphis! Can’t wait to shop!

  786. Lisa

    I would love to win! I LOVE Home Goods. Their lamps are always fun to look at as is everything else.

  787. Lisa

    I would love to win! I LOVE Home Goods. I could spend hours there.

  788. Callie

    I would love to get a rug for my dining room in the new house that we’re building. Something elegant with gray, cream, and white.

  789. Jenny

    I’m from the Seattle area, but moved to NC last year and I LOVE Homegoods! I have been searching everywhere for a new rug for our living room and I bet Homegoods has the perfect one!

  790. Tiffany Bush

    I love Home Goods! I haven’t been in a while since I’ve been busy with work and end of the year activities, but I have been craving a trip and a gift card would be fun to spend! I need rugs, bath mats, and just general decor. I love that you never know what you will find on a visit!

  791. Posey

    I live in Memphis and we, too are getting our first Homegoods!! Really excited and looking forward to the opening! The closest HG is Nashville!!!

  792. Gwen

    I’ve been redecorating my home, too. And I’ve found several wonderful pieces at HomeGoods. I’d love a chance to do A LOT more shopping! Thanks!

  793. Laurie

    A Home Goods came to my town a year ago, but I’ve not shopped there much b/c my little guy isn’t the most patient. Still – we’re preparing the nursery for a new baby in 2.5 months and a big-boy room for him, so we’ll be doing some shopping!

  794. Laurie

    I’d dream of getting big boy decorations for my 2 yr. old moving to a new room to make space for baby arriving in August!

  795. VTBear53

    I have finally finished unpacking – after six years in my condo!! Ready to put the finishing touches on MY place. Would love to do a rug for my living room or maybe a comfy chair for reading in a corner of my bedroom. It finally feels like home and comfort is my goal.

  796. lisa

    We just had a Homegoods open here. I am working on my bedroom which hasn’t been decorated in over 25 years! I know, shameful. I’m anxiously awaiting to see what you do with yours. I so need to win this – and then use your advice!

  797. leisa

    I would love to win! Thanks Homegoods and Melissa. Glad to hear your news!

  798. joanne

    well need the following new linens, more towels, poor dogs need new bowls, and all the stuff I keep putting back on the shelves

  799. SB Cee

    I’d love to get a coffee table on a HomeGoods shopping spree.

  800. Christy

    I would love to find fun stuff to finish decorating our homeschool room! We are starting out on that new adventure this fall with our 4 th grader!

  801. Karen B

    Lamps! Lamps! And More Lamps!!!! Please Suggest to Home Goods to open a store in Northwest Cincinnati. No Home Goods :-(. No T.J. Maxx :-(. No Marshall’s:-(.
    What’s a girl to do?

  802. SusanT

    We’re finally getting around to remodeling our house. (No oven for over 3 years!) So I have a long list of must-haves, not the least of which is new towels, bed linens, and lamps.

  803. Laura J

    I’d love to find the perfect rug or chairs for the kitchen island at Home Goods

  804. Hilary

    I’ll be graduating from college soon and Home Goods would be the perfect place to purchase bedding and several other accoutrements for a small apartment. Plus the great prices would allow me to get more bang for my buck.

  805. Laura

    I LOVE HomeGoods! It is almost impossible for me to go into that store and leave empty handed! I really need to finish decorating our master bedroom. I also could use a large rug in our living room.

  806. Cari

    I’ve never heard of HomeGoods, but it sounds exciting! I’ll have to check out the new store!

    • Cari

      I’d love to be able to so some cute accents in my kids’ rooms as well as some fun extras in our family room.

  807. Fiona

    I really NEED chairs – for the basement (something funky) and for the office (something comfy) but at HomeGoods you always see so many wonderful things that you NEED that you didn’t know about. I am the proverbial kid in the candy store when I get to HomeGoods.

  808. Hedy King

    HomeGoods is my favorite place to shop. I love choosing gifts for friends from HomeGoods, always so special. I’m needing lamps and rugs and window treatments, ummm, maybe $250 worth.

  809. MarySue

    I not only appreciate H.G. great inventory but also their moderate prices for those of us without unlimited funds. Thanks Home Goods!

  810. Annie

    I love, Love, LOVE HomeGoods, would love to use this giveaway for new linens!
    You lucky girl to have 2 new stores open nearby you…have fun shopping!!!

  811. Christa

    I would definitely be getting a great chair for my family room!

  812. Christa

    I would definitely be getting a great chair for my family room! And probably some awesome baskets.

  813. JaneEllen Jones

    I would so love to be able to shop personally in a Home Goods store but would be very pleased to shop on the internet also. We have no Home Goods stores here in Grand Junction, Co at all. We don’t have much period. As a person that used to live in San Diego where shopping is everywhere it was hard to get used to not having the major stores here. If there’s one is Denver I don’t know and I really don’t enjoy that trip over there. I do a lot of shopping on the internet.

  814. Merri Jo

    Wow, I am thrilled at a chance to win such a great GC!! I need to completely furnish everything needed for our master bath renovation. Home Goods has a great selection! I’m really looking forward to your pix of your new store–have fun!

  815. Lauren

    I’d love some baskets for organizing!

  816. Mary Beth

    I love Home Goods….I don’t have any specific plans for anything there but I always find SOMETHING to buy when I’m there!

  817. LaDonna

    I would pick up new accessories to redo my master bedroom. My new husband has given me carte blanche with it!

  818. Stephanie

    SOOO Many options – Homegoods is so my favorite and a shopping spree would be a dream!! I can always fill my cart there.

  819. Karen

    Love the variety at Homegoods! I’d love to win a giftcard, my card would be overflowing!

  820. carrie

    Working on my living room right now and this would be awesome!

  821. Jennifer

    I LOVE HomeGoods!!!! I can spend hours looking (and buying!) in that store. It would be heavenly to win a gift card :))))

  822. Aretha

    This is a great giveaway! I would love to decorate my bedroom so some bedding would be nice.

  823. Jaime

    Finally I can give up the 3 hour drive to Portland! Thanks for coming to Seattle, Homegoods!

  824. Ruthanne

    Have wanted to go to a Home Goods store for a loooong time! I am so excited they will be in the Seattle area now. Thanks, Melissa.

  825. Lora W.

    I love Home Goods. I could get tons of cool things like picture frames, lamps, and baskets- among others.

  826. Katie

    I would loooooove to win. Love Home Goods- I’d like to go weekly but I think my husband might kill me if I did.

  827. Lesley

    What couldn’t I find at Homegoods? I do need some baskets and a new lamp, so I would probably look for those first. But the fun thing about Homegoods is finding something that you didn’t expect and couldn’t find anywhere else!

  828. Terrie M

    I just found the perfect rug at Home Goods. I’m amazed it didn’t come home with me!! I like to think about a big purchase, so I’ll think all the way until this drawing!

    I am originally from Seattle! I love that city! Love it!!!

    Enjoy your shopping time!

  829. Kelly

    Im addicted to Home Goods. Right now I would hopefully find a perfect lamp for my piano, some driftwood art, and some green and brown throw pillows.

  830. Carmen Goddard

    I would buy stuff for my back patio, kinda spruse it up for the summer, I need color!

  831. Jessica B

    We’re finishing a screened in porch, so outdoor bling would definitely be on my list — pillows, lanterns, even furniture!

  832. Victoria

    Wow! The Inspired Room just never disappoints! You always give such great information and ideas! And now a HomeGoods giveaway??? Count me in!

  833. Sylvia

    I am in the Seattle area. Not sure this is the right place to enter the give away. I have never been in a HomeGoods store but it seems that a lot of bloggers love the store. I am so excited to have one open in Lynnwood. First Hobby Lobby and now HomeGoods… WOW.

  834. Debbie

    Oohhh a shopping spree – anything beachy!

  835. Karen Mary

    Have never been to a Home Goods store and would love the incentive of a gift card! I need all kinds of things to revitalize my home right now!

  836. charli

    I love HomeGoods!!! HomeGoods and Tuesday morning are about the only places I shop for brand new housing goods.

  837. Antinette

    I’ll see you in the lamp aisle!

  838. Janice Cooper

    i loooooove home goods! i have to limit how often i go :)

  840. Andrea

    If I scored the glorious $250 HG gift card from your raffle, I would be looking for some awesome & timeless apothecary jars & cloches, new throw pillows for the sofa (to bring in some of the aqua I just finished my latest bargain find in – Danish Modern end tables), and funky outdoor planters to liven up the outdoor living space a bit – if I can keep the plants alive :)

  841. Melissa

    I have never set foot inside a HomeGoods! I think I would love it. It would be extra fun to check it out without guilt for buying some things. :)

  842. Sue L

    We just bought a home and it needs lots of work. I would love to do some of our shopping at Home Goods. We need big and small accessories through out our home.

  843. Becca

    I would love a spree at homegoods! Holy cow- that would be rad- I need accessories for my home so bad!
    xo Becca

  844. Trisha

    I love everything at Homegoods! What would I not get is the better question;)

  845. Lesley

    I love the bedding selection as well as the many fantastic lamps at Homegoods .. Best of luck with your new store :)

  846. maggie

    I’d love some items to put on our new patio…even though I have to drive a whole hour to get to Home Goods I love the store! You’re such a lucky duck to be getting new stores close to you!

  847. Laura

    Oh I would be getting some new bathroom accessories and some bedding!

  848. Wendy

    I would love any accessories to bring summer to my home. ♥

    After living in my house for 15 years, I am finally accessorizing it with art for the walls. I just finished a gallery wall. I am really inspired by graphics with fonts/prints,anything with lettering. Also I am a lamp junkie. I love, love, love color and am in the midst of painting an old hallway dresser turquoise. Also loving the chevron design I’m seeing everywhere. Pinterest has got my creative juices flowing. That’s how I discovered this awesome sight. So back to the question, I really can’t answer it specifically because when I buy stuff for the house, I have to see it and touch it and it has to speak to me. Long answer, I know…can’t help it, lol.

    I still need the basics so if i won the gift card i’d get a rug and some end tables and side chairs!

    We just moved in to a new house 6 months ago & my walls are a blank slate. I could use some new, fresh decorations (mirrors, frames, accessories, etc…) for my house! I love Home Goods so thanks for the opportunity to win the gift certificate! :-)

    Would love just to linger at a Home Goods store, and will have to travel 3-4 hours to get to one, but candles, rugs, and luxury towels are on the list!

    Love reading” The Inspired Room. ” Your pictures are great, the articles are full of helpful information for people looking to update, redo or just renew. So happy you will now have a Home Goods close by. I have two near me and love them. Happy Home Gooding.
