Window Shopping: Home Goods (2nd Trip, Part 1)

Eye spy with my little eye...So on my recent outing for the I <3 Thrifting Event, the ladies pointed out their is a Marshalls and a Home Goods near the Panera Bread we stopped for lunch. I dragged my boyfriend to Home Goods. This was probably a good representation of how he felt after 6+ hours of shopping.

So previously, the only Home Goods I have been to were in Marshall's in their own little section of the store. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit the stand alone store since I was in the area.

I have an Obsecion of chairs and mirrors. Some mirrors that caught my eye

This pretty oval mirror with flower detail. It was decent size at $60. I usually not one for gold but this mirror looked spectacular in this gold finish. I would just hang as is.
The next mirror is just like the infamous ZGallerie Devon mirror but half the price at $100. In white or
gold, but the finish was not that great on the gold

We also found this interesting mirror with smaller overlapping squares

and this large mirror for $70 with intricate detailing on the frame

and who doesn't love a mirrored dresser?

We also spotted these cute benches that would look nice at the end of our bed
And this cute jewelry chest in my daughters room

Now on to my second favorite house item of the moment, CHAIRS! I don't think you can ever really have too many and I wish I could by or at least recreate all of the ones I saw.

I love the damask pattern of this chair and the colors really would like nice in my bedroom. The picture looks more green but is actually closer to yellow IRL.

I am loving the King Louis inspired chair. this chair + cane back = heaven
Baby got back on this chair and definitely admiring the fabric choice with nail head trim

How lovely is this French word chair?

This post is very picture heavy and I have a feeling getting too long so I am gonna break it up into to posts. I have more items to show as well as an item I actually bought. Also the most ridiculously priced item I have seen at Home Goods to come next time I post.

Buy any items from Home Goods or home decor shops? Do you have any weird obsession to furniture or house decor items? 

P.S. I was not paid or compensated for this post. I really love Home Goods wanted to highlight items that caught my attention on my most recent shopping trip.

Window Shopping: Craiglist Edition

So, I always seem to find the most amazing things when I am dead broke it is not pay week. Here are couple of things that tickled my fancy that were $100 and under.

 Like this flower shaped table coffee table. I love the curvy shape and the support lines underneath the glass add extra interest. Definitely not your usual rectangular wood coffee table and I would love to buy for only $60 but I already have three coffee tables. The boyfriend would NOT be happy. We already have this lovely table that I painted blue for the living room, a yard sale table for the sunroom, and a Goodwill table that doesn't have a home but it was only $1.00 since it was missing a glass insert.

This cute mirror with antique-style gold trim for $25. I am no gold girl but this mirror could convert me. Love the details of it and it would look great for my future wall of mirrors or sunroom. Also would make a cool chalkboard.

Next we have this vintage nightstands for $45 for the set. Just looks like they need some extra loving on the top. Would be cute to paint them a funky color or even a glaze just enhance the wood tones for a nice variation of colors.

Finally, this green painted farmhouse table with turned legs and a drawer caught my eye for $100. Not the best deal of the day since it doesn't include any chairs. On the other hand, it is also solid wood and I want it bad.

Craigslist
You see, on Pinterest, I saved this image for my dining room inspiration

I found 6 caned-back chairs that came with an oval table form $95 on Craigslist at a local Consigment Store that aren't as curvy. They are more like these ones from threeboys although 2 are armchairs.

But not pretty at all, rather dingy I may say so. But it's ok. The plan is to redo and update the chairs. Then hang onto the table until I either sell said table, buy a farmhouse table or build one. Preferably, I would like to find one like the green one above.

So that's the plan. Can't wait to share. Should have the table and chairs in another week or so. Will update with the goods when they arrive.

Window Shopping: Home Goods Edition

These are some items that caught my eye at Home Goods recently.
I really loved the mirror cabinet. The price not so much. It's a nice size and would look great as a tv stand.

The first chair, I saw and fell in love. I loved that it was metal and not wood. We have a lot of wood items as well as square things. I like the light and airy feel to it.

I actually bought a pair of the second chair. A bit pricey again but I love the look. I wanted an unconventional nightstand so to speak. They weren't exactly cheap at 40.00 a piece but they were a lot cheaper for the pair of tables I was eyeing at World Market. I also figure I can always use them later in the backyard if I change my mind.

The next three photos are beach accessories. I adore all items beach related so I had to restrain myself from buying typo much. I loved the seahorse on a stand. Very chic and affordable compared to the ZGallerie one.
