Come shop HomeGoods with me—this store is seriously my happy place, and this location was one of the biggest I’ve been to. I’m walking you through what I’m seeing right now (yes, lots of summer still), from cute plastic drinkware that’s perfect for outside, to faux greenery and planters, to art, rugs, furniture, baskets, and all the little decor pieces that can make your home feel elevated without spending a ton. I also share what I personally look for so you’re not wasting money—like choosing faux plants that actually look realistic, and using seasonal color in small ways. Along the way I’m giving you my real-life interior design tips: keep bigger purchases (like furniture) more neutral and timeless, then swap smaller items like pillows, bedding, and accessories to refresh your space. I also love using trays to corral items on counters and coffee tables, and baskets for hidden storage everywhere (mudroom, pantry, sideboards—literally lifesavers). And if you spot a “clearance” rug, I always recommend quickly Googling the rug name to compare prices so you know you’re truly getting the best deal.
