One of my favorite go-to places for home accessories, bedding, dishware and the like is Homegoods. I am pretty certain you all do the same. I’ve found some spectacular things (all the plates for my plate wall in my kitchen above, for example) there for myself and for clients, so when they contacted me about doing a giveaway in conjunction with their partnership with Deborah Needleman, former editor in chief of Domino I jumped at it!
Deborah and Homegoods have created an online quiz called StyleScope to help you define what your personal style is. I took it and came up a “Glamorous Classic”. Totally true, I love glamour but I also tend to make my big purchases classic designs that will stand the test of time. After taking the quiz the awesome folks at Homegoods gave me $150 to spend in the store to re-do a little area of my home. I went to the local shop and spent an hour looking around, finding a pair of amazing lamps for a client, some kitchen items, salivated over some upholstered cubes but wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. And then, in true Homegoods fashion, I turned a corner and TA-DA there in the bedding section was the grey Ralph Lauren Penthouse bedding I had been coveting for my master bed at Bloomingdales before my last photo shoot months ago. I couldn’t afford it at Bloomies because the duvet and shams were $800 (say what?) But here they were, $150 for everything! I could not believe my luck! My husband has said I am not allowed any more all white bedding since our rascally dogs sleep with us in bed and it looks dirty all the time. So I knew he’d be thrilled with the grey color as well-brownie points for me. I was so excited that I almost overlooked that they were for a king- we have a queen. So what did I do? Went and ordered a king bed that very day (double brownie points)! Who buys a new bed to go with her discount designer bedding? This gal! I’m designing a headboard I’m going to make and ordering a faux fur throw for the foot and it’s going to be spectacular. All inspired by Homegoods!
(My new bedding is a beautiful light grey with deeper grey sateen banding. Swoon)
So anyways, the re-do is in progress so photos will come soon but I did not want to delay any longer in getting you the opportunity to win your own $150 giftcard to Homegoods! No joke, people! $150 goes a long way there! All you have to do is take the quiz and leave a comment with what your result was. Oh, and another thing- you have to send me before and after pics of what you do in your home with the $150. I’ll post my new bedding/bed and your before and after! The contest will run until Friday Nov. 6th at 7 a.m. EST. I’ll randomly draw the winner then and post the name of the lucky person! Good luck!
Bohemian Classic – who would have thought, I get the classic and I know I’m drawn to a little boho but I have to say when I first think of a boho style, I would not think me!
Erin – forgot to mention you are my idol!!!!!
Country Casual.
Global Casual! Yep, that’s me, and with a 5 month old, stress that ‘casual’. Love your blog, keep up the great work.
Glamorous Classic! Right on the money, great quiz…
Glamorous Classic – with the suggestion to “unify” which is just the right suggestion for somebody like me who has lots of good pieces, but no real cohesive “look.” Great quiz!
Dramatic Modern – how fun! I never even knew there was such a combination. The quiz was fun, thanks for sharing :O)
I am Elegant Classic. I am a little surprised because I thought I might be glamorous classic too! This was a fun quiz to take.
I am an elegant classic. About what I expected, since I just bought a new house and am so undecided about decorating so many rooms!
Earthy modern. I had no idea.

What a fun quiz, I am never really sure about these but mine was spot on…Thanks! Oh, I came out Bohemian Classic, however I would say Classic with a touch of Bohemian and Sparkle;)
elegant classic! thanks!
I am elegant classic! I love the results page from the quiz and printed out for a good refresher!
How fun…dramatic modern. I would say correct!
Earthy Casual. I loved this quiz — great ideas and advice, and the Happy Home Colors were perfect!
Hi, I’m earthy modern. Nice to meet you!
I got Elegant Classic. That is pretty right on the money but I would add a little whimsy to the mix.
My style is Earthy Casual. Not what I expected, but I think it’s right on! What a great quiz, and the results page had some great ideas. I can’t wait to go check out my local Homegoods store!
Glamorous Classic! SOO me :D
Very Fun quiz!! I am Elegant Classic….very fitting!
Elegant Classic – I LOVE HomeGoods! Thanks a bunch for the link!
Gina , you are a Glamorous Classic. Which is fitting for me!
LOVE HOME GOODS! one of my favorite places to go. What a great give away :)
Earthy Casual and so right-on! Definitely how I aspire to design our new home. The $150 would do wonders for some finishing touches!
BOHEMIAN ECLECTIC. Yep that sounds right! I aspire to be more sophisticated, classic, soothing, but can’t seem to do it.
Earthy Casual which fits me to a T. I’m brainstorming what to do above my living room couch – one large wrought iron fixture or a collage of pictures from my travels or something else?? The $150 would certainly help me create the perfect look!
Elegant Classic. yup.
I’m also Glamourous Classic. It seemed to describe me perfectly considering my favorite items in my condo are antiques I’ve inherited from family.
Elegant Modern. Right on – although the color suggestions would not be my first choices. I liked all other suggestions.
I’m a Glamorous Classic too! Which is exactly what I’m trying to achieve in my master bedroom makeover also. I just painted it a pretty silvery-grey (Manhattan Mist from Behr) and am now on the hunt for gorgeous bedding and window treatments to coordinate. I loved your bedding by the way…it would work for me although, my hubby would probably ban white for sure:)
My inspiration throw pillows for the room came from HomeGoods so If I won the giveaway, I’d be back there in a second to finish my makeover! Thanks for sharing this fun quiz!
Whaat, 592 comments??? That’s insane! My style was Glamorous Classic as well :) I’d definitely not have a problem finding something to spend the $150 on!!
Love your story on the RL bed set!! LOL! :D
I’m elegant classic! I think that’s pretty accurate, though more a reflection of what I’d be if I could AFFORD to do what I want in my house, instead of relying on hand-me-downs and roadside treasures!
Glamourous Classic! This is exactly what I am. I love old Hollywood glamour and cooler colors with pops of bright vibrant ones:) $150 would bring me GREAT joy for this holiday season, especially during these hard times.
Elegant Classic – two of my favorite words!
Dramatic Modern – yep, that sounds about right. :) Although, I’m not happy with the drab color palette they gave me. ha!
Elegant Modern – no surprise there. I think I was deciding between paint chips of the recommended colors for my bedroom just last month!
Elegant Classic!
Country Casual- I was a little surprised, but it seems to fit.
Earthy Casual…not sure if it fits but I would be willing to try
