Homegoods Stylescope Giveaway!!!!

Since most of my money is being earmarked for my upcoming kitchen renovation I have seriously limited funds to start decorating the rooms in my house we are not gutting.  So I took my bargain-hunting self to Homegoods the other day to see what I could find. I found some great basics for a song (bath accessories, sheets and even Halloween costumes for the pups) but I am kicking myself for not buying a few of the things I saw, and may have to go back and see if they are still there!

Check out this amazing little bench for $75 and glossy black greyhound sculpture also for about the same price. Particularly pissed I did not just buy the bench for my living room. Had sweet brass nailheads on it too! I think I have to drive back.

Awesome Missoni-esque throw pillows (with down fillers- beats those cheap awful fillers you find at big box stores) and this adorable fabric covered wastebasket which would be so cute in a bathroom, office or kids room!

I am on the hunt for new lamps for my master bedroom- and while I couldn’t find any that were JUST right on this visit, they always have new products all the time so I’ll just have to keep looking. I did love this white lamps (only one of each available) and these wooden lamps were AMAZING (little brass cuffs at the neck too) but I didn’t know where they would go!

Homegoods is the best place for dishware and serving pieces- this huge selection of all white pieces is awesome to make open kitchen shelving look its best! And I adored this grouping of emerald green, black and white floral and natural wood I saw on a shelf. Would make a great combo for a dinner party!

I LOVED these stone calligraphy brushes- they look so great on a coffee table or console with other accessories. I bought the mint one and it’s on my bar now.

Homegoods paired with HGTV designer Taniya Nayak to create their Stylescope quiz to help people not only figure out their style but give them resources to help find inspiration via Pinterest and blogs!  They asked me to participate and after looking at my blog and design work paired me with the “Socialite” style- inspired by fashion and glamour.  Although lately I’ve just been hiding in my house by the fire, I don;t quite feel like a socialite, but I’ll take it! :)

So, here’s where you come in. Take the Stylescope quiz here and post your result in comments for a chance to win one of THREE gift cards to Homegoods (I have two $100 and one $50 to give away!) May the odds be ever in your favor… (see, I’m a dork, not a socialite!)

  2. Boho…..? Not sure how that happened! I guess i do like anthropologie……..new design direction i guess!

  4. i love homegoods!! I came out new country, which i think is pretty accurate, though i think i gravitate towards farmhouse glam as well!

  6. I’m a socialite, too – ha! :)

    What a fun giveaway. LOVE Home goods. When I was living abroad I actually pined for it (that and Tar-jay)!

  8. It says I am sassy with a touch of urban funk!

    Love your Homegoods selections. I always check out their lamp selection too and then I try to figure out where I can put them all. I have a slight lamp problem. :)

  9. Ha! It said I am classic – which is how I would have described myself if you had asked (classic/traditional, actually). Thanks for the opportunity, Erin! Love your new house!

  11. I am classic (which I would have guessed) and a touch boho (which is quite surprising!!!).

    We are big HomeGoods fans. Now my 2 1/2 year old son even begs me to go because they have the 1 aisle of toys.

  12. Apparently, I’m Sassy with a touch of Boho. I expected to be Classic with a touch of Sassy, but Tanya knows best! Ha!

    thanks for the opportunity!

  13. Sassy and a touch boho-very odd. I would usually say classic or preppy. I think I ended up with the touch of boho because I selected the picture of the coffee. Which would make me sleepy, not boho. Oh well. I really love Home Goods-great accessories, huge selection of baskets, lovely towels and bedding and always the cutest and best priced gift wrap. Oh and in the summer they always have the best insulated food bags!

  18. classic with a touch of country…i’d say that’s right on. i’d also say i’m champagne taste with a beer budget…is that an option?

  24. I am farmhouse glam with a touch boho. totally accurate…my dream is to one day live in a classic new england farmhouse! love your blog :)

  36. I’m space life…with a touch of country. Makes sense, I’m all about comfort and calming influences when I get home from a stressful day of work. Love it! Thank you.

  37. This was fun! I am New Country with a touch Socialite! I don’t think I could describe it better myself! I’m addicted to HomeGoods and most my house came from there.

  38. I’m socialite with a touch of boho which seems like a funny combo but who am I to argue with the professionals! I love home goods :)

  45. I am classic (of course!) with a touch of Boho. I loved the images they displayed for this little quiz. Hope this is my lucky day!

  46. I’m farmhouse glam – I’ve never heard that term before, but its spot on. Love Homegoods! Been shopping there for years!

  51. I’m Urban Funk with a bit of Boho. But wait – when I take the quiz tomorrow, I will probably be something entirely different, like classic with a touch of New England farmhouse. My style seems to change not only with the seasons but with my mood. I wish I could find a style that is enduring. I was shocked by the Urban Funk/Boho business but after I looked at some pictures, I can see why that result.

    P.S. I love HomeGoods. Such deals.

  55. Boho with a touch of New country. I’m in the same boat with decorating…..we just put on a new roof and it has wiped out the surplus fund for decorating….I have to check out home goods one of these days!

  57. Boho with a touch of Classic. That’s the first time I’ve ever been labelled ‘classic’ anything, guess I am getting older.

  58. The traveler. Could not be more accurate as my home is filled with items I have picked up from all around the world! Inspired for my next trip to Home Goods and my next shopping trip around the world.

  59. Modern Metro with a touch of Urban Funk – totally surprises me! I do love anything with text/lettering… Great giveaway! Love me some Homegoods…

  62. I am “Sassy” with a touch of “Set Sail”…..i am loving what homegoods put together and would really love that giveaway!

  72. I’m Sassy and a touch Boho! I absolutely love HomeGoods and actually just bought a huge fork and spoon to hang on the wall in my kitchen!

  74. I’m a traveler. Though I don’t get to travel too often, I’m so inspired by eclectic textures, texiles and art…just like the survey said!

  76. Set Sail with a touch of Classic… yup, that’s just about right! In fact, just last month my friend described my style as “vaguely nautical but classy”. Home Goods gets me!

  77. I’m Farm House Glam with a touch of Urban Funk!!! So awesome – now I just need an Urban Farmhouse and money to decorate it!! Thanks for the fun quiz – can’t wait for the O/Ikea launch!

  80. I am New Country with a touch of Boho! I love Home Goods. My closest one is two hours away but I go whenever I can!!

  83. Farmhouse Glam with a touch of Boho – as my son would say, “seems legit!” Totally got it right. Pearls with denim, rustic with a little bit of sparkle. So glad you lead me to that quiz since it helps me to focus on what my style truly is. Sometimes when I shop at Homegoods I get overwhelmed with all the amazing choices. I do love it, though, and can’t wait to go there again after seeing what you found there and narrowing down my style!

  86. I was Urban Funk with a touch of Boho which is never how I would describe myself! But fun, nonetheless! Thanks!

  87. I’m Boho! I just moved into a new apartment(the first of my own), and I’ve been having a great time decorating. HomeGoods nailed my style – no surprise, since I’m in my local store at least once a week! Great giveaway, Erin!

  90. Damn! I’ve been wanting those brushes and kicking myself for not buying them awhile ago! Guess I’ll have to see if my stores have them now!

    I’m boho with a touch of country – they got it right!

  93. Fun! I was Classic + Sassy. I’m guessing it was pretty accurate because I took the quiz three times with different images and got the same results! Then of course the matching pinterest boards ALSO appealed to me!
    I’m curious which homegoods you go to- the one in Assembly square is very hit or miss….

  94. I’m a Vegas, Baby, with a touch of Sassy. Didn’t sound like me, until I saw the room they set up – spot on!

  96. I am Boho with a touch of New Country. Such a fun quiz – can’t wait to go shopping at Homegoods now!

  99. I got “Boho” –shock! Although I’m a DVF-wearing, Johnathan Adler-coveting kind of girl…perhaps it’s time to explore my Boho side!

  100. I’m New Country with a touch of Classic. I think it’s pretty fitting and thanks for the giveaway, fingers crossed!!!

  107. I am “The Traveler”.

    Perfect, because I’ve been “traveling” all around Boston and Cambridge these past couple weeks to train for a big race!

  109. I got Urban Funk – which is pretty great, considering I live in NYC. Love Homegoods – this is an awesome giveaway!

  110. I am Boho with a touch of Urban Funk.
    So many pretty styles to choose from but I like my touch of funk :)

  113. I was surprised to find that I’m a New Country — but then I saw what it had to say and, as much as I consider myself a definite city girl, I definitely saw glimpses of my style…

  114. I am sassy and a touch set sail. Homegoods is my FAV-OR-ITE store!! I have a fab lifesize horse stretched canvas I just picked up there hanging over my living room couch. I can’t tell you the compliments…

  116. classic with a touch of boho! love it. we just recently got a homegoods store and i love it, great giveaway!

  120. Urban Funk with a touch of Boho.

    I HEART Homegoods. I must get those pillows. They are perfect for my house!

  124. I am Classic with a touch of Boho – although I think I would throw a little Farm House Glam in there for myself! Dying for a little Homegoods shopping spree regardless!!

  125. Urban Funk with a touch of boho – my actual house has a little more farm house glam of a feel to it :)

  128. The Traveler with a touch of “farmhouse glam” – Erin, maybe farmhouse glam means I have something in common with your parents…?!

  131. My style came through as “Classic” which is not surprising to me at all. I’m currently redecorating my South End apartment after purchasing new couches and need to be cost conscience after the big purchase!

  156. I am the Traveler. The Traveler is curious about all the corners of the world, whether she’s visited them or dreams of going. She welcomes stories into her home through the finds of hidden bazaars and curio counters the world over. She doesn’t just look forward to her next trip; she lives abroad in her own home everyday.

  158. Classic with a touch boho! I love those wooden lamps…I have a serious addiction to lamps and have no where else to put them but I really love those!

  165. oh! That was so fun!
    I am Urban Funk with a touch of New Country.
    My eight year old, who has amazing style already, is Spa Life with a touch of Traveler.
    Together, we are a great mix! (but I already knew that)
    *wink*

  167. Farmhouse Glam. Wasn’t sure at first because I’m really not a fan of cutesy country but then I looked around my house and had to admit their description was pretty accurate. And I wouldn’t be all that against living in a barn. If it was a glammed-out barn…

  188. I’ve taken this a few times with different results each time. Today it seems I’m sassy with a touch of boho. I’ll take it!

  189. What a great giveaway! I’m classic with a touch of boho, pretty sure I could snatch up some deals at home goods!

  195. I am Urban Funk with a touch of Boho. Love Home Goods! It lets you express your personality without breaking the budget!

  197. Sassy with a touch of Boho! Spot on. I love these sorts of quizzes…how do they DO it?? And you totally should have purchased that bench. GO BACK NOW!

  202. I am Classic with a touch of Boho. I think that sounds about right! I absolutely love Homegoods and would love to win! Fingers crossed.

  211. Boho with a touch of traveler. I would have thought I was Classic, but I did it twice and Boho’d both times.

  218. Sassy with a touch of urban funk.
    HomeGoods is my favorite store! On my bridal shower invitations my bridesmaids actually noted I would love gift cards to the store since I couldn’t register there!

  226. Set Sail! perfect because I race competitively in all of my spare time and the style description is pretty close to how i’ve decorated my apt-but slightly less Gilligan’s Island.

  229. Set Sail with a touch of Spa Life. We just (finally) had 2 Home Goods stores open in our area. Such a fun place to browse.

  233. I am Sassy and a touch of Boho. Thanks for the incredible giveaway.

  247. Spa life (I would call it Zen) with a touch of boho. I agree with the results but I would throw in Traveler too!

  253. Urban Funk…big surprise to me, but love the vivid colors, so guess I’m more funky than I thought.

  258. I’m Vegas Baby!! with a touch of Socialite.

    Funnily enough, the VB description hit my design style on the head, and the recommended blog to read was La Dolce Vita- the first blog I ever followed.

  268. I am New Country with a touch of Boho….and I must say…I quite agree! Seems like my house is right on target!

  276. Modern Metro, with a touch of Classic.

    Also, which Home Goods had those wooden lamps? I love them (and live a town or two over from you- I want ’em!)

  292. I’m classic with a touch boho. That’s definitely the direction I’m going in with the condo I’m in the process of purchasing. Would love to decorate with some sweet finds from Homegoods!

  293. So fun! I’m farmhouse glam. I think it’s somewhat accurate as I do love to mix rustic wood with say some mercury glass. I don’t like taking that look too far, but a touch of it, yes that’s me!

  299. Socialite with a touch sassy. Ha, not sure I qualify for socialite either but hapy to hear that homegoods thinks I do :)

  307. I’m SASSY! With a touch of urban funk. Hmm I’ll take it. I would LOVE to win one of the gift cards! My new apartment could use some cute decorations!

  310. Farmhouse Glam with a touch of sassy. I have to admit, I’m a little confused by it, doesn’t seem like me, but I’m open to giving it a shot!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  311. SASSY – with a touch of New Country. Love, love your blog. My fav are updates on your new house. Your taste is exquisite.

  319. I’m Farmhouse Glam, could NOT be more true! I love the uptown chic and my boyfriend is a country boy, so I’m always meshing our worlds into one! LOVE Homegoods, it’s my favorite store!!

  345. I’m SASSY with a touch of URBAN FUNK! And I so love HomeGoods…their rug selection is fantastic – I found two Safavieh rugs there – each $399!

  346. Classic with a touch of Boho. Sounds ’bout right. Just bought a house that was a bit more of a fixer than we bargained for….Homegoods will def be my resource once the trades finish their work…mine recently had rugs from ABC to die for at crazy reasonable prices.

  349. I am Classic with a touch of New Country! Which I definitely am. My husband and I just moved into a 1967 brick ranch and I would love some new Homegoods decor pieces!!

  360. I’m socialite. Not sure if this is totally accurate, but I am sure that i love shopping at HomeGoods!

  362. Boho-“Boho isn’t just carefree. She’s adventurous and passionate, loving color and new and unusual uses for things. ”
    Sounds about right! Would love to add more color to my space.

  365. Sassy with a touch of country. I took the test twice picking some different pictures and twice it came back sassy. I would have thought I was country glam.

  379. I am…urban funk! Which that title could be taken well or badly I think. I choose to be thrilled by it :)

  381. boho with a touch of spa life, more like thug life….j/k
    but seriously I’m totally soothing boho no orange no magenta but soothing global palette

  385. I’m Farmhouse Glam which definitely fits my personality. I’ve always been told I’m a walking contradiction and Farmhouse glam is plush, and comfortable with neutral colors in combination with a bit of Sparkle. Love it!

  387. Straight VEGAS BABY. That sounds…totally right. Despite the fact I’m wearing a very “Erin” navy & white Breton-stripe top with a long black skirt. I prefer my glitz surrounding me, not on me, I guess?

  390. I am set sail with a touch of boho! Probably not true but fun regardless! I LOVE Homegoods and always to go spend on myself and end up getting things for the house! Ours is attached to a Marshalls so double trouble.

  399. What a fun quiz. I love Homegoods but have never thought to check out their website. I’m Urban Funk with a touch of the traveler.

  401. New country with a touch of urban funk… that’s what I get for living in Texas in the city known as “Funky Town”! And we JUST got our first HomeGoods!

  402. Sassy with a touch of Boho… who knew?? Probably didn’t help that they had the exact fabric you suggested for the kitchen chairs as one of the choices… :)

  404. Sassy with a touch of Boho …I just bought a new house too! Love seeing the progress on yours! More pics of the pooches please :)

  407. Vegas with a touch of Boho! Quite the combo. Just moved into a new house as well, within dangerously close proximity to a HomeGoods. Not that proximity stopped me from making weekly trips prior to my move. :)

  415. First it was Farmhouse Chic with a touch of Urban Funk. But that just seemed wrong.
    So now it’s Urban Funk with a touch of Classic. (Even though I’d love the couch from Modern Metro.)

  418. Urban funk with a touch of boho… fun!
    Thank you Homegoods for coming to Washington State! We are so glad you are here!

  419. Sassy with a touch of Boho!

    Love it! and love homegoods! ALSO, I’m loving your updates on your new home! I’ve been a long time follower! :)

  423. Traveler with a touch of farmhouse glam. Who would’ve thought! I would love to find those wood lamps in the store near me in CA.

  427. Classic with a touch of Boho. I totally agree! I love quizzes like this that tell you something about yourself. Remember doing the quizzes in Cosmo to learn what personality you had? That was one of my favorite parts of the fashion mags as a teen.

  432. Apparently I am Farmhouse Glam…although if Beach house glam were a category, that would definetly fit me to a tee.

  433. I’m Farm House Glam, with a touch of Boho. I’m really not sure what that means .. me, farm house? But the images that go with it look great.

  470. I decided to do it a second time lol bc there were more then 5 photos that spoke to me and I am now Boho with a touch of new country which is also soo true so basically I am boho with some spa and new country in me! :-D genius

  478. Sassy with a touch of urban funk. I had to laugh at this because I am pretty sure my mom has described me this way since my teenage years.
    Thanks for the fantastic giveaway and hope you are settling in to your new house.

  492. I’m sassy with a touch of classic. I wasn’t sure about it at first but it’s pretty spot on! Now I want to go to homegoods lol.

  499. Classic with a touch of boho! My daughter was appalled to see we got the same thing… the apple doesn’t fall far… Ha!

  514. I’m a Vagas girl… with a touch of Sassy. Seems a little off. Must be my current mood ;-). Hope I win!! Thank you!!!! LOVE your blog!

  517. I’m all ‘Sassy’. Not sure if that’s entirely accurate or a nudge in the right direction to make some design changes to my apartment. A HomeGoods gift card could certainly help with that!

  520. I’m classic with a touch of boho. Who knew?! Just kidding when I read the description I was like, “Yeah, that’s me!” Love this!!

  535. I am Set Sail with a touch of Modern Metro — having just moved from the South End to Swampscott, I think this pretty much sums me up! The HomeGoods up here is amaze-balls, so I hope I win to fill up our house — our apartment-size amount of furnishings & decor is just not cutting it!

  537. Modern Metro with a touch of Urban Funk. Love these titles!!! Can’t wait to have my husband take the quiz!

  543. I took it twice also, first I was New Country with a touch of Classic and then I was Urban Funk with Farmhouse Glam. Great give away, I love Homegoods, great deals, variety and styles.

  544. I am a “sassy”? Well I guess that I am! I think I’m more of a Jason home mixed with a french restoration kind of a vibe? As you can tell I’m confused and I’m not even a gemini ! lol Thanks for a great giveaway!

  547. I got Vegas Baby which is pretty hilarious because I think that is my total design opposite. Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me to punch it up a bit?? Lol

  548. I am Set Sail…with a touch of Boho… yup, I’ve got a relaxing beachy master bath/ bedroom complete with sepia sailboat art and beachglass. Wish I was at the beach now!

  576. Classic with a touch of boho! So funny, I’ve thought of my style like that when I go clothing shopping!

  585. I am the traveler with a touch of the spa life…I think that it’s pretty accurate about how my house is styled. Most of my art is from my travels from work and fun and I love to make my home my sanctuary from an otherwise hyper life. Fun quiz!

  600. I’m Urban Funk with a touch of Boho Chic – oddly enough it’s true. I loved everything they showed me!

  609. Well first I got Vegas Baby, which really isn’t me at all! Then I got Boho, then I just decided to browse and decide on my own. =) Thinking classic with hints of the traveler. Fun quiz!

  611. I am sassy which is ironic because I am such a dork! Am on the hunt for that bench now! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

  612. Set sail with a touch of spa. Not sure if that’s right, or if it’s just that I’m cold at the moment and so picked all the warm weather-looking icons…

  615. FarMhouse glam with a touch of new country, as long as that doesn’t bleed into shabby chic, I’m good w it! :)

  621. Classy with a touch of boho! Thinking my childhood cape cod house with modern funky colorful updates! yea! :)

  623. urban funk! some interesting ideas… homegoods is a good “find” spot. recently picked up some stellar lucite lamps!

  640. I’m CLASSIC! Yeah, that makes sense. The touch of Boho must come from my lipstick hippie days in the 90’s.

  642. HA! This is so fun, i LOVE homegoods…..but living in the city (Chicago)the items go fast!!! I was Farmhouse Glam with a touch of Urban funk. I can kinda see it too, but I’d add a bit of classic to the mix. My style is mostly eclectic.

    My Hubs and I just moved into a new ‘Chicago style’ walk up, exposed brick and all that charm, so much different than our old loft. so different that nothing fits, we are currently saving to get a new dinning table, so I semi feel your pain!
