HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYONE! I'm sharing all my designer tips for shopping at HomeGoods and finding all the best pieces!!😍🏡

@mariamangion21 Год назад

Can’t wait to watch ❤

@courtneyspinks1549 Год назад

Where I always enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing what’s new, this might be one where the suggestions are appreciated but not all agreed. So many people are doing the same cookie cutter styles with whites and neutrals, vases, target and hobby lobby, some I love. But design should be personal style too. If you have a room with rich mahogany and leather, I think a horse would be fine on a large desk, a crab on the shelf of your beach house, a crystal lamp in a Victorian themed room. Or a worded pillow for a holiday is ok, but I’m with you, not all over the house. Style should be fun and meaningful for everyone.

@pjmackall Год назад

Yes! I love the white crab in the right space in a coastal home.

@mirandaspruyt6117 Год назад

haha and I recently purchased a little squirrel with a crown... but I think it's cute :)

@amberrose8756 Год назад

I have birds with crowns! After reading this, I’m going to have to find a squirrel too!👑🐿️

@angelaplested8588 Год назад

I think every one should buy what ever makes them happy at home goods. If you like the pretty pink floral arrangements then buy them what makes one person happy dos not always make every one happy. Every one has different taste and that is what makes the world go around.

@joannecirincione3896 Год назад

I have TWO of the white lion heads sitting on my mantel with lighted topiary balls sitting in their crowns. They are FABULOUS sitting up there. At Christmas, I put lighted Christmas trees in their crowns and they are so gorgeous at the holiday. I am always looking for the whimsy in the room. Cheesy, to you perhaps, but oh what a conversation piece. And my mantel with those majestic lions are showstoppers. I have a surprise in every room of my house.

@BunnyBomb76 Год назад

GASP! Not TWO lions! But I'm sure the fact that they're white and not a color makes them more palatable. Lol. I like Kristin, I just wonder who made her fear color.

@amberrose8756 Год назад

Soon as she showed the lions I thought how cute they are! Your home sounds fun and interesting, I’d much rather see your place than some boring beige on white room with no character or personality.

@kyhi6900 Год назад

I don’t like puffy quilts, I like to layer a couple thinner ones. Easier to wash up and I don’t want to mess with a duvet cover…it’s all about simplicity when you have pets 😊

@ThekimG313 Год назад

Those crystal lamps would look great in a bedroom. I don’t like the boring plain lamps.

@yorkielover1027 Год назад

I agree with almost everything. I saw that most of the animal statues looked pretty cheesy at your HomeGoods. However, a well made animal figurine could look gorgeous in a home. Especially if they lean more into the traditional style. For example, horses, birds. I have been collecting small brass animal figurines that I place in inconspicuous places around my home. It’s fun and it feels that you need to be on the lookout to see these animals. That said, they do not look cartoonish which is one reason animals can look tacky. Also, because they’re small and spaced out, my home doesn’t feel like a zoo 😜

@brendatomlinson Год назад

I’m keeping my eyes peeled for a brass elephant!

@janethunt4037 Год назад

A friend recently gave me 2 beautiful ceramic birds that are very different from each other. I love them! I'm on the lookout for a small brass bird for a different space.

@yorkielover1027 Год назад

@@janethunt4037 Check out Etsy. There are tons of brass birds!

@janethunt4037 Год назад

@@yorkielover1027 Will do!

@danielleb5630 Год назад

The animals make me happy. Sorry not sorry. Guess I’m tacky lol

@laracroce5814 Год назад

The most classical decors like French provincial or English heritage all have animals in them somehow. Usually horses. But I love animals too and I think it can be done tastefully !

@mylifeed360 Год назад

The fact that Kristen said “to stay away from the animal decor” but I immediately fell in love with that white lion head 😩 lol I’m a Leo and I was in a gang that represented lions and now they are part of my life, now I watch decor videos 😳 crazy how life changes huh 😅😵‍💫

@aec526 Год назад

The company that mfgs and sells those and a ton of other "animal planters" and most of the decor you see in HomeGoods/TJX told me this market (Las Vegas Market to the trade only) that those pieces are on trend and huge sellers! I actually have several in my very unique eclectic home that everyone dies over. To each his own !! My aesthetic is not cookie cutter or a sea of beige and bland. Every piece is my home is a conversation starter, right down to my 6' disco ball bubble gum machine

@doselias2008 Год назад

I also love the animals status 🤩

@avedurham Год назад

I fell in love with that same lion head statue! I saw it and immediately thought it would look amazing in my gold, sapphire blue, and white office.

@ciaradiam0nd 10 месяцев назад

I have cute tiny vintage ceramic animals all over my kitchen. They are in neutral tones and done very tastefully. I think it can be playful if you don’t go overboard and it’s done a certain way, just like anything. I get her point- there is a fine like between whimsical and fun, and cheesy/juvenile/tacky- but I wish she would’ve shown do’s and don’ts with the animals rather than banning them completely

@lose999 Год назад

I know people who buy patio sets for indoor use. My grandmother had a patio dining set. It's very affordable for good quality. Some of those sets, especially with the sofas, are great values.

@KristenMcGowan Год назад

That would be very durable!

@NishiHime Год назад

I have a beach themed sun room with beautiful mermaid statues and sailboats and could see that white crab sitting on top of books on the center table beautifully. Maybe not in my bedroom or living room, but to each their own in decorating.

@bluegirl4079 Год назад

Good tips, Kristen. I styled our office decor 100% from Home Goods and received so many compliments. One guy asked me what decorator did our office use? HaHaHa...just little ol' me. It was a nice compliment. I get what you are saying about the animal statuary, but I really like the shell and coral pieces for a bookshelf or bathroom. To each his own, as they say. I do say that finding just the right thing is always about timing at Home Goods. I try to find out when their truck comes in and when new items will be stocked. It is definitely a first come, first serve situation, and if I find something I really, really like, I buy it. Chances are if I like it, someone else will too! Often I look through the Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, and West Elm websites before I go to see what is trending. Then sometimes Home Goods has the exact same or very similar items.

@michelleweingart9030 Год назад

Dont forget mirrors! I find really nice ones there.

@MyFocusVaries Год назад

Totally; we found a fantastic giant mirror for the bathroom, and a great mirror for a sideboard.

@susanpera2131 Год назад

Unfortunately in smaller markets, our store is rather small and we just don’t seem to get designer brands. They never have coffee table books for example, and the glassware selection has gotten worse. The only thing I didn’t agree with was black lampshades. I have some and they look rich. Every room needs a touch of black.

@lilianagarcia4378 Год назад

Great advice on the bedding. I am having a hard time making my bed look “fluffy “. Maybe you can make a video on this topic!😊

@cherylcampbell8149 Год назад

I have those crystal lamps in my bedroom and they are so pretty…especially when the sun is in the room. I disagree with having bright colours…I find it better than having all white or all beige!

@amberrose8756 Год назад

Couldn’t agree more!

@amberrose8756 Год назад

I really like some black lamp shades, animals too. If it makes you happy, it’s perfect.

@allikep Год назад

For safety reasons also, I’ve had a client who had a crystal lamp placed by a window, and the sunlight actually can get super concentrated by the crystal and set her rug on fire!

@wildflowerb2879 Год назад

Wow thanks for that info!! My grandkids put my crystal on my tables that get sun so they can watch the "rainbows" and because of breakage with constant handling I usually just leave it in their spot they chose...😬

@tiffaneycupps1288 Год назад

Nope, I'll take my gold horse(yep, I have that one) in my tacky horse half bath any day over that ugly stone circle🤣

@kyhi6900 Год назад

Always prefer a beige, taupe, creme lampshade…I always get rid of stark white shades

@evelynespoons3185 Год назад

I think home decor & decorating is a personal thing. Not everyone likes the same things. That’s what makes every home unique. I’m that person that’s always attracted to floral anything as well as the occasional animal statue & beach items. I love both HOME GOODS & HOBBY LOBBY. Have found great treasures at both stores.

@surpriseitsus9622 Год назад

I refuse to support hobby lobby 😔

@jennynevins6329 11 месяцев назад

I feel the opposite. I support them and what they stand for.

@marieholly559 6 месяцев назад

I agree! Everyone likes different styles , our homes are personal and unique likes of ourselves… not trying to like everyone else….

@janethunt4037 Год назад

I just bought 2 lamps from HG for $40 each. The dark blue shades tie in perfectly with the sofa pillows (same color) and curtains. I was fearful that they would change the color of the room (BTDT), but they didn't.

@user-ck3fc4ev3d Год назад

I also buy my flower planters from Home Goods and now is the time to grab them before they go. Also, I have purchased the 3 ft tall glass vases they sell and spray painted them neutral colors. Spray paint is a game changer so never turn down a good vase because you don’t like the color.

@ginacrusco234 Год назад

I'm generally with you about cheesy animal decor, but I found two unique pieces handmade in Africa at a museum gift shop and just couldn't resist them. They're not subtle, but they're small and layer in nicely with other, more standard pieces.

@SArlene-0916 Год назад

I agree with most of what you said but it’s really in the eye of the beholder and what makes a person happy. I love my bedroom lamp with the turquoise lamp shade. 😊

@fidelmakelly6432 Год назад

Great video as usual lol.. but about the black lamp shades I totally disagree, I have 2 pottery barn bedroom lamps with black shades are they are so rich looking, they give the room a lovely calming feeling at night + they do not change the color of my walls.

@amberrose8756 Год назад

I love black lamp shades. But, I disagreed with much of what she said, 🤷🏻‍♀️

@charleneguinn3785 Год назад

I appreciate your guidance ! Good advice . Personally , I enjoy statues, lamps , linens , art and one should check out higher end estate sales to come across vintage or antique finds , ie dog statues/figures , really quality and collectible treasures , not the mass produced you would find lining the shelves of Home Goods , Target, or any box store !!

@FlamingoCraft Год назад

Well, for a beach style home huge seashells will be perfect imo

@macjrc Год назад

Groundbreaking

@laracroce5814 Год назад

I disagree. I have the most beautiful horse head statue and it’s my favorite piece I’ve had for so many years. I never get tired of it.

My favorite store. I get curtains, rugs art work and lamps. And, stay away from the things you mentioned- like animals sculptures and word signs.

@CathyS_Bx Год назад

So much great advice! I happen to love black lampshades, though! The eyes can tank after a while and bright light becomes gruesome!

@fidelmakelly6432 Год назад

I have them in my bedroom, love the calmness they give at night! I wouldn’t change them for the world…

@Sozomi17 Год назад

I think having one statuesque animal like a bronze horse can be classic/timeless. But, yes, don't be doing a modern version of the roster themed kitchen.

I've gotten a great pair of lamps, artwork, and a mirror from Ross Dress for Less, which is a sister store to TJ Maxx and Marshall's. I haven't purchased any home decor from Home Goods.

It’s been my personal experience that linens run small , and I have had success using full sized on a twin bed , some king sizes on a queen . But , if you layer your linens , you can get by with queen on a queen if you roll them down as a “ look “.
