THE LOW DOWN: H&M HOME...

For those who love H&M's affordable fashions, the Swedish chain will open H&M Home next year in the Spring of 2013.  Open across the pond since 2009, the H&M Home collection includes mostly soft goods such as bedding, pillows, towels, etc., accessories and accent furnishings with its distinctive European flair at the great H&M prices.  Check out what you can expect...

As apparent, the fun won't be limited to just their fashion. My hope is that they will feature items curated by top designers as they have done with the likes of Lanvin, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, etc.

I predict many US households will adapt a homespun look with H&M Home...

Peace and Blessings,

THE LOW DOWN: HOMEGOODS...

You can imagine the excitement I encounter whenever I venture into HomeGoods - the color, the texture, the variety coupled with the low prices - its all very stimulating for a budgetnista like myself. I have outfitted complete rooms with wares I've discovered there. The only thing with HomeGoods is that you never know what you are going to find from day to day.  If you don't buy it when you see it, it might be long gone if you wait overnight.

Here are some amazing rooms created with HomeGoods finds...

The accessory and lighting aisles are always my first stops followed by bedding, pillows and kitchenware.  With all of the samples, catalogs, etc. I need for work, I covet their fabric storage bins. The same ones I find at places like the Container Store or Bed, Bath & Beyond are up to 60% off retail prices.

My favorite acquisitions are the turquoise velvet wing chair that proudly sits in my living room next to the fireplace and the white leather chair that greets visitors in the foyer.

See why I am HomeGoods happy...

Peace and Blessings,

Tammy
