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!
Global Casual – which is pretty bang on!
Earthy Casual. I love that it describes “were people feel comfortable and happiness flourishes”, what more could you ask for in a home! Many Thans for sharing!
I’m also Glamourous Classic! Which definitely explains why I’m so obsessed with your blog!! This quiz definitely nailed it! :)
Elegant Classic. Exactly right! Now I need the quiz to tell me what rug to buy, what dining room chandelier, etc.
Earthy Casual?! Hmmm… Casual, yes, but I was hoping for Glamorous Casual, or Casual Glamorous. Stil, I do value serenity and a long, hot soak in a tub with a book (and a glass of wine – the glamorous part!), and I do care about fine craftsmanship. Maybe HomeGoods knows me better than I know myself:).
I’m “Earthy Casual” and while I would agree for the most part, I feel like I get the greatest happiness from bold colors and artsy pieces. I’m with Amy, I need the quiz to tell me what to buy or at least how to put it all together. I’m a renter so I can’t paint, but I know my house, which is extremely spacious, could definitely look better if I had more to fill it up or better ideas (and a sister/roommate who picked up after herself and her son).
“Earthy Casual”. I feel like I’m too indecisive to have just one style, but I do absolutely agree with my Happy Home Colors results. If only I didn’t rent…
Earth Casual
“Earthy Casual” sounds right. The colors listed are my favorite too. I love earth tones with a splash of color. I love how it lists, cozy:) Thanks!
Earthy Casual and that definitely describes our style. I’d love to figure out how to pull it off though. Thanks for the site!
I am a Global Casual. It fits me so well!
glamorous classic…now if I could just get my house to look like that!
Bohemian Casual – and it’s dead on! I am a total HomeGoods fan – it’s such a great source!
I would love to get some lamps and end tables for our newly painted master bedroom!
Earthy Casual. Very true that it makes me happy when guests feel welcome and comfortable in my home. I do tend to use earth tones in my decor, but would like to experiment with bolder colors.
Bohemian Classic! so true
I am glamorous classic…love your blog!
Elegant Classic… true. Now, if only my home would start to pull together!
Elegant Classic…so true!
Bohemian Classic. I’m an Interior Designer and HomeGoods is my GO TO place for accessories. I could definitely use the $150 for a project I’m working on right now! ; )
Earthy Casual. Seems pretty accurate! I am a sucker for these type of quizzes.
Elegant Classic, seems about right.
I’m a bohemian classic! I was actually just thinking earlier this week as to which two words best describe my decorating style, and I have to say that this is spot on.
I am earthy casual…who knew? Home Goods my favorite store to browse…oh and shop!
Elegant classic… I loved reading the tips from the quiz!
My result was bohemian casual. I love Homegoods!
thank you so much for the home goods bedding tip..i just realized that if i wash my delicious linen sheets one more time, there will only be shreds left of them. so it is certainly time to go sheet shopping. what about ikea for sheets..any opinion on those?

Glamorous Classic! I am excited to actually have a name for my style!
Dramatic Eclectic — I guess that’s right, but hmmm…I don’t know what to do with that :)
Let your haters be your motivators!! I enjoy your site – very creative.
