If you’re a fan of some of the decorating shows on HGTV like Color Splash, you may notice periodically that the designers walk around retail establishments picking up items of inspiration like vases, pillows, lamps, or rugs; and you may wonder whether or not such a store exists close to where you live. I’ve personally noticed that David Bromstad and his staff shop at one of my favorite stores Home Goods and want to make sure you know about it, too. They have 300 stores nationwide offering “incredible, eclectic, stylish, designer and one-of-a-kind home fashions” at prices that are 20-60 lower than what you’d pay at other home interior specialty stores because the buyers (aligned with TJMaxx) have the talent to scoop up deals from manufacturer’s over-runs as they happen this means that the stuff you see in the stores is as current and fashion-forward as possible. I personally love this store and find myself “hitting it” at least once a week to pick up one-of-a-kind designer pieces that always evoke a lot of ooohs and ahhhs from any visitor to my home. My favorite question is always “who was your designer?” to which I just smile and reply “I did it myself.” Thank you Home Goods
