Pretty Eye-Candy at HomeSense
September 04, 2012
The last few weeks of summer mean things are ramping up at work, so by the time I get home I’d rather do anything than type on a computer or do anything house related. I took today off to give myself a lovely 4 day weekend to relax and to work on a long-delayed DIY project, but mother nature has conspired against me - it's rather hard to spray paint outside when it's pouring rain. Boo!
Last Friday after a long week I found myself craving something pretty so off I went to a favourite source of all things pretty – HomeSense (I actually went to two locations). I’ve promised myself I won’t purchase anything until I get a little bit more decided on the direction I want my living room to go, so this was purely a trip in search of eye candy (although there were a number of items I could have easily brought home).
It looks like white ceramic animals will continue to be popular. Here are two I spotted, and I’m honestly not sure which one I would adopt - I keep changing my mind.

| Bring some Canadiana into your home with a white ceramic moose - $15 | 
|  | 
| What about a white ceramic rhinoceros? (similar to the one at One House Love) | 
|  | 
| Lovely blue based glass lamp - $70 | 
|  | 
| I loved this orange coral lamp. Too bad I have nowhere in my house where it would go - $50 | 
|  | 
| Pretty with just a hint of mirror - $350 | 
|  | 
| Kate Spade mint polka-dot sheet set - $60 | 
|  | 
| Black side table. Imagine a colourful band around the top - in gold perhaps? $60 | 
|  | 
| This was the medium sized in this style, and was $25 | 
|  | 
| Colourful Ikat footstool - $100 |

Those are some great finds! I love checking into Home Goods (as it's called down here) and seeing what fun stuff they have in stock. It's always a treat!
ReplyDeleteUm, at what homesense did you find that moose? I must have it!

love the moose! i was tempted to pick up a a few blue lamps this weekend too!
ReplyDeleteI love the moose! I would have had a hard time leaving him there, even though ceramic animals aren't really my thing.
ReplyDeleteLove that basket! I'm heading to my local HomeSense to see if they have the larger size - wish me luck! And if I hadn't just bought my daughter a polka dot duvet cover from Ikea, I would be picking up the polka-dot coral sheets for her as well. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteDid you have any success finding the basket?
