Never too prepared!

With Pinterest and how huge it is, it's hard to be patient for the future life of me. Between pinning crafts, recipes, outfits, household ideas etc. I can't help but hope that mine turns out as picturesque. Today after eating lunch, I decided to walk around Home Goods rather than continue to sit on my bum and slow my metabolism! Home Goods had so many pretty things that I decided that it would definitely be the place for me to wish I had an unlimited budget! Since that is not the case and my tiny tiny apartment can't even hold the stuff we own now, pictures will have to do and work as great reminders. I have always loved colors and being bright ;) and I would want my living space to reflect that. So here goes! 
  • the dog picture is something that wouldn't be on a main wall but it would be somewhere because dogs are family
  • large colorful pillows for lounging when multiple people are over to lay on the floor and be comfy and add a little pizazz
  • the bathroom accessories have a little sparkle and fun added! never too old for that!
  • I love what these family rules say: help each other, be thankful, know you are loved, pay with hugs and kisses, try new things, be happy, show compassion, be grateful, dream big, respect one another, laugh out loud

  • the large fork and spoon would be a great addition to the dining room or kitchen. I think it shows the comical side of me and it's a pretty big side of me ;)
  • the table runner is colorful but slightly duller colors than highlighter colors which is nice. I have always enjoyed paisley and through some colors and I'm sold!
  • I wish the picture of this world map came out better. I was really immaculate. I would also like the world map near the table and to incorporate it into where we are eating foods from. I think I like this because I am geographically lost!
  • Dr Seuss will be in my home. I have always loved the books and now there are movies. I also enjoy the slightly odd colors.
  • I'm not sure what I would do with either of these bust things but they make nice decoration! The top one is sequined and the bottom is a full dress.
  • The lego book is fun and full of colors and really cool things to build out of legos. Keeping the brain working with those pieces!!





  • I could see this heart art on a shelf somewhere next to family pictures!
  • The flowers are in a shadow box frame and it looks better in person. 


  • I like the shiny things especially the leaf. Just to hang outdoors if it was the leaf, the others would be indoor.
  • another reminder quote painting



  • Fall in love. listen to your heart. be passionate and fearless. run away together. believe in love at first sight. hold hands. laugh nervously. stay in bed all day. learn from each other. write love letters. be thoughtful and generous. grow old together. be spontaneous and impilsive. kiss each other goodnight. remember why you fell in love.. this is your happily ever after.
  • chair storage! and bright!
  • Hope is: too many things to actually list ;D
  • love couch with a color pop! obviously my favorite!



  • these are little girl items: adorable dresser!
  • decorative lamp shades
  • a zebra rain boot piggy bank, because we could all use a little zebra in our lives
  • a tiny chair for reading and its the cutest chair everrrrr! It really deserves more "r's" haha.










  • the first pic is the cover view of the fourth pic. a large looking book but for storage
  • this leaf would make a nice addition to any coffee table. It would hold random odds and ends and be completely empty
  • a flower portrait, of course! 











  • I am a leo and always on the lookout for the perfect lion decoration. I have found a few but never bought any because they wouldn't have a place to be displayed.
  • I wasn't exactly sure what the next item was except that they looked really pretty at the store and would make a nice odd decoration of color
  • a large timer kind of reminds me of movies and such
  • these wind chimes were different, they weren't that annoying high pitch that no one actually wants to hear. they kind of sounded like money haha I'm not sure how to explain it but it sounded like coins! 



Alright, now I know I am futuristically putting these things or similarities in my home! I had a good time just walking around the store and imagining.

I absolutely love Home Goods and I hate that we don't have one here. I basically lived there when we were in NJ!
