This has been one amazing year, and in the spirit of Thanksgiving I'd like to begin by thanking you.
I appreciate you all more than you know. Your encouraging words, positive feedback and support truly keeps me going. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and can often be pretty hard on myself, so hearing kind words from you over the past eleven months has been absolutely inspiring. I thank God for each of you, and I hope that when you read my posts each week, you glean at least some small tip or idea that helps to make your dwelling a place you love.
I wish I could do giveaways more often and I certainly wish they could be more when I do, but right now they are primarily provided on my dime. So, in keeping with my budget interior design focus, this week I'll be giving one lucky reader a $25 gift card to Home Goods (TJ Maxx/Marshalls)!
I know $25 doesn't sound like a lot, but you know I'm a firm believer in stretching a dollar and twenty-five of them at Home Goods may get you more than you think.
In doubt? Check out these items (and corresponding ideas), I scoped out on a recent trip to a local Marshalls. I don't know about you, but I'd be happy to snatch up any of these options if I had 25 bucks to spend at TJX Brands store.
This
pewter wreath is elegant and timeless and best of all can be used through the winter.
Owls are HUGE right now and this
snow globe puts a modern twist on an old classic. I love how West Elm displayed a similar version.
Told you owls were huge, and so is "styling" bookshelves/bookcases. These bookends would be a lovely addition to either.
Nothing says home like a
seagrass basket. Home Goods/Marshalls/TJ Maxx has a plethora of options. Almost as many options as there are uses for the baskets.
Fresh towels can instantly update a bath. Selecting a modern graphic print like this Moroccan trellis is one way to breath new life into a ho-hum bathroom.
And here are a few other items I wouldn't mind snatching up if I had a $25.00 gift card.
So, I know you're probably thinking
