What better place for inspiration is there than Homegoods?
Cute Ms. Layla came up to Birmingham for a little impromptu shopping trip, so I met up with her at Homegoods and we walked around browsing all the fun eye candy inspiration that is always to be found in this store. Walking, browsing, chatting. We could have talked for hours. We only live about an hour from each other, so it is always fun to spend some time with Layla. 
She was looking for some inspiration for a photo shoot that she has coming up very soon. 
These rugs had some great colors to work with.
This fun and funky lime green peace sign rug was a throw back to my era, the 70’s. 🙂 
Another pretty blue and white rug. Homegoods always has a wonderful assortment of bathroom rugs. 
We liked this chunky white framed mirror and it reminded us of the Design Star competition last week. We liked white better than black.
Prices on these mirrors can’t be beat. 
Love, love this chair. I have a thing for chairs. Wish I had room for this one. 
How about these floral shabby chic pretties on clearance for $90 each? You’d have to love floral for those though. 
I loved this striped rug, it would surely make a statement in a room. 
And their lamps can’t be beat. How about orange? 
Or soft blue with pretty shades? 
Or glossy white ceramic and soft blue shades?
Or turquoise green with a funky print shade.
Lots of possibilities at Homegoods. No, they don’t pay me to say this, but I love the store. It’s definitely a go-to store for me!
Thanks for tagging along on our shopping trip!
Ahhh – I’m sooo jealous! I’ll only be a few hours away from you both when I move. Can I come next time?!
Looks like you guys had fun. I wish I had a Home Goods nearby. I DO have a Marshalls – and I’ll have a TJ Maxx when I move. So I guess I can’t complain too much, huh?
Love Layla. Bet she was so much fun to hang with. 🙂
Love all the lamps..so beautiful
Hi Rhoda
It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Love the blue and white rug. I can see it in Layla’s place, looks very coastal. We are going to Cape Cod on holidays and hope to get sea inspired.
Two of my favourite bloggers in one store! How cool is that.
Must be nice to live close and get together sometimes.
Take care

Love HomeGoods! And you’re wearing your new “treasure”! Love that shirt!
Looks like ya’ll had a great time.
I saw some very nifty chairs at Pier One, last week. So tempting. I am trying to think of where in the world I could use one. Oh, I think I just had an idea. May have to stop by there next week. Bright colored armless chairs, so cute and pretty good prices too.
Aah…it looks like you had such fun. I wish I had someone to shop with, someone who understood design and color like you girls do. Thanks for taking us along, via the camera and the internet.
Hugs, Cindy s
Rhoda;
How fun would it be to shop Home Goods with you two!
( I have actually been in your B’ham store with my D.I L.) ….. and you are so right…. so many fun things to see, and discuss possibilities with a shopping buddy… and muse…. wouldn’t those floral armless chairs look super in monogramed white linen slipcovers?…. hummmmm… wonder if they have them here… may have to check it out!
BTW…. you make that yard sale top look fab!….
HG= a great way to spend some fun hours in this summer heat wave.
I am ready to get in the car and head for Home Good thanks to your good pictures. I love the store. I always want to yard sale my stuff and start all over with everything from Home Goods!!
Would love to have a Home Goods near us . They are not in Washington state at all. Looks like a delightful day for you!!
This is my first time to hear of Home Goods! I might have to do some sleuthing and see if there is one near me..
Thank you for taking me along. What a fun store. It looks like you had a wonderful time and found lots of things for inspiration. La
Wow, what a great time! I still have not been to home goods.. I really have to go and explore the store in my area..
A very fun post…
Have the sweetest of days, Hugs~Elizabeth
Looks like you both had a great time even if you didn’t buy anything! I love Home Goods, T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s. I’m trying to be good and not buy anything more for the house for a while. I really need to go through the house and ‘weed out” some of our stuff that has been here forever. We will be painting the whole house in the Fall, so maybe that means a mega shopping trip in the future. Love the housewares and food departments there.
Well I looked at your HomeGoods pics before I left to go to a dr. appt. this morning….you definitely got me in the mood…I just got back with new sheets for the grandgirlies room, a pair of sandals and a wonderful BIG mixing bowl with all the colors that I use in my Kitchen…lime green, aqua, red, and gold…I guess I can blame the expense on you.. ;). Love your blog… I look forward to it everyday…it is like visiting with an good friend. Thanks, Pat
I love Home Goods too. I purchased those green bottle lamps with the paisley shades for a client last month. We couldn’t use the shades, but bought white drum shades with grograin ribbon trim. They were the perfect lamps for the bedside tables. I always find something good there!
Glad yall had fun!
I LOVE those shabby chic chairs, and yes I love florals–and purple! Unfortunately, they make my husband gag. 🙁 Ah, well. Thanks for sharing. I’ll bet you had a lot of fun!
A favorite place of mine to shop! Was even more enjoyable because your “partner in design” was with you! I don’t think I’ve ever left empty handed.
Your Friend,
Deborah
How fun. I’d get those floral chairs and recover-$90 is a great price. I may have to check my store this week!
Don’t even get me started on HomeGoods. My favorite destination! Looks like you had a great time and found some great stuff (duh!) So cool to find your “Southern ” blog! Hope you can stop by soon!
Hey — I’m jealous. I’m just down the highway. I must not have heard the phone ring! 😉
