This great mirrored TV stand for $399:
This creamy armoire was also $399:
Today's Homegoods post is brought to you by the letter C for Chairs.
I read yesterday that this maroon/wine red color is going to be very in this fall for fashion. I guess Homegoods has a head start with this pretty little thing:
A mirrored console table because you can always use these all over the house. I like mine as an entry table or nightstand but you can also use them in many other ways like perhaps as a living room side table.
This industrial desk took me a minute to look at. I am not a big fan of the writing on the top, who needs a desk that says "BELIEVE"? However for $79 if this is the style you are looking for an easy coat of primer and paint over the desktop is a quick fix! If this desk is for a kids room I might even do the top in chalkboard paint.
These 2 chairs were probably 2 of my favorites in the store. I loved the shape and tufting detail but more importantly the "leather" actually looks like real leather. For $299 I highly doubt that it was but I didn't actually check this to verify.
Oh how I love lamps, Homegoods is one of those places I think you could walk out with a new lamp every visit. This bamboo mercury glass lamp was awesome and I loved the brass base and linen lampshade. So pretty!
If you are looking for a bold statement chair then this baby would be perfect. I stared at this chair for a long time thinking of a way I could use it or trying to think of someone I know who could use it.
Some seagrass basket lamps with linen lampshades.
I almost bought these 2 green lamps to go in my bedroom on my dresser. I ended up passing as the color was a little more of a yellow green than I wanted but they were really cute and only $39 each.
Over the weekend my husband ran in a "team triathalon" with my dad (swim) and brother (bike). Since he was gone most of the day I asked my friend Beverly if she wanted to go to Scotts with me. She has never been but told me that she wanted to go sometime.
As soon as we walked in the South building she spotted this beautiful piece. This picture doesn't do it justice because it was very very tall and had a textured paint on it that was so pretty, plus the chicken wire was awesome. I think this is a piece you could use in many ways as the years go by. It would be very cute in a kitchen with dishes and pottery inside. It could also work in a dining room or even a bedroom or bathroom. I love furniture in bathrooms with rolled up fluffy white towels and other bathroom essentials.
This buffet was also really pretty and had antiqued mirrored panels in the doors. It was only about 12 inches deep and 4 feet wide so if you need something for a small space this would be pretty. It might also be a pretty hallway table or used in other ways too.
Beverly and her husband are looking for a dining room table. They don't have a breakfast nook so they eat all of their meals here. This table needs to be pretty but not too formal and not too casual.
Love this base shape and pricetag at only $595!
We both loved this base with the barrel shapes. I think Beverly and her husband went back on Sunday and did a custom order with this vendor for this table but in a smaller version.
This shape was also to die for...
My suggestion was a big farm/tressle/picnic table with fussy Louis XVI french chairs. I might even do an upholstered settee or bench on one side.
This is kind of what I had in mind for Beverly with a settee except maybe a different style set of chairs or something not quite so contemporary but you get the idea:
Beverly and her husband have an office space that is also used as a sitting room when needed. They've been looking for rugs and can't figure out what they want. I suggested that she look at the cowhides outside the south building. This XL cowhide was the perfect solution contrasting against their hunter green walls and only $250!
We finally headed home where my triathalon champ husband (their relay team got 1st place, yeah!) was waiting and starving. I felt about the same, a full day at Scott's going through both buildings will wear a girl out! We went straight to Nuevo Laredo, a hidden gem mexican restaurant in West Midtown that only locals know about. To say we both chowed down on our carne asada is an understatement...
After dinner I came home and laid out my Scott's finds right before I hit the sack. Beverly and I found this white vase and dried hydrangeas for $27. The lady was ready to just get rid of her hydrangeas at the end of the day so she gave us tons for $7 and the vase was $20.
When we walked in the north building I saw this blue and white china tea set and knew I had to have it. I don't have any use for it but hopefully I'll have a little girl one day and if not it would be a great gift. When I used to nanny I loved doing tea parties with the little girls I kept. Right before we left I checked to see if the set was still there and it was but other women were eyeing it so I made a quick offer for $35 and this is now tucked away in my home for one day down the road.
I needed another one of these magnetic boards for my desk area. Unfortunately the colors are a bit different but the nice lady at the booth said I can trade it out next month if I decide it won't work.
All in all there were some awesome deals and bargains around Atlanta last week. I can't wait for September's show at Scott's I heard that it is always a great show. I heard there is a folk art show here this weekend, so who knows, maybe I'll make an appearance to check it out... :) I'm also picking up my new bedding from Gramercy today so I'll try to have an update on that this weekend! So excited!
