For most of her life, Bossy’s mom has been an interior designer — and for many years, Bossy and her mom partnered in their own decorating business, producing room after room after sister mercy room with results like this:
So when HomeGoods contacted Bossy about doing a review of their store, Bossy was thrilled because as a decorator, she and HomeGoods go way back — in fact she and HomeGoods are likethis.
The deal went a little like this: HomeGoods would provide Bossy with store credit to redo something in her house. Would it be the back porch, the family room — it was an avalanche of opportunity and Bossy couldn’t decide which corner of dysfunction needed it most. And then Bossy remembered her torture chamber.
Bossy has built a reputation as a chronic insomniac for approximately 7,305 days, which correlates with the birth of her first child, when Bossy began suffering a sleep that never slipped beneath the surface of wide-eyed consciousness. Prior to this time, Bossy was the type to put the why in worry, and hello HomeGoods! Bossy has not forgotten about you!
So Bossy thought it was an exciting prospect to redo her bedroom with special attention paid to calm and restorative. The first thing Bossy did was go on the HomeGoods blog to get inspired with ideas.
And then Bossy and her mom got to work. Let’s have a look at Bossy’s room before the redo, shall we?
Over a decade ago, Bossy inherited the queen-size bed frame from her father who was upgrading to a larger bed, and Bossy inherited the bedding from herself, as it was purchased so long ago as to render it useless in all categories, especially warmth.
It’s not that Bossy’s bedroom was that horrible, not compared, for instance, to stuff like sleeping in a bus station.
The room was just blah and full of the things that defined a habit for Bossy, and that habit was not sleeping.
The other side of the bedroom is hodgepodge but strangely practical, so Bossy didn’t anticipate the need to apply many changes there:
So one day last week, Bossy and her trusty sidekick decorating partner who is coincidentally her mother, took off in the car toward HomeGoods.
Once in the store, Bossy and her mom actualized a little plan they like to call divide and conquer while calmly checking out the inventory — or as Bossy practices the plan, hurry and stick everything in this here cart so no one else can buy it.
Before too long, Bossy and her trusty sidekick decorating partner mom shifted their focus to the bedding department, perusing HomeGood’s selection of high-end comforter and sheet sets.
Bossy takes very seriously the task of selecting new pillows to replace the lumps of coal she previously employed.
From there Team Bossy rifled through the extensive wall decorations department and made decisions about hanging things:
Next there were lamps to consider in the lighting department, and bedside tables in the furniture department, and corresponding bedroom trappings in the enormous accessories department — and as things began to pull together inside the three shopping carts Bossy and her mom had amassed, it was difficult for Bossy to keep her cool:
And this is the part where Bossy and her mom came across a dog bed and Bossy’s mom was all, “Gah, look, it’s one of those slave ships!”
Then Bossy and her mother went through the checkout line and loaded up the car with plastic bags full of bedroom.
And before Bossy could count to five — where five equals five days later when it finally stopped raining and being all dark and mopey in Bossy’s bedroom — it was time for the installation of the HomeGoods stuff!
The first thing Bossy’s mom did was arrange the new dust ruffle, while Bossy took advantage of her shifted mattress and box spring to actually dust. Can you still call it dusting when mopping up the equivalent of a shag carpet?
Then Bossy and her mom assembled all of the new linens and pillows and comforters. Typically these purchases can be quite a commitment because they are surprisingly costly, and not necessarily where you want to drop serious coin compared to other things.
But quality and thread count and fabric really make the difference between straggly home bedding and crisp boutique-hotel bedding — which is why Bossy highly recommends designer brands, but purchased at heavily discounted stores, such as HomeGoods.
Bossy was going for a restful tone-on-tone look, knowing full well the new light blue comforter would be at odds with the golden sage walls unless things were carefully tied together. Experience tells Bossy this is when attention to detail is critical.
Next Bossy and her mother hung four similarly themed prints, and when Bossy says she and her mother did it, she means her husband.
A cluster of framed things is a fun trick, rather than one serious piece of artwork. And these prints? Only $16.99 each.
Bossy’s also loves her new bedside table and lamp and gem-covered photo frame, all of which seem to deliver Bossy more than just a world away from the toppling mess of responsibilities that used to reside here.
Finally, with everything in place, Bossy and her trusty sidekick decorating partner mom stood back and admired their good day’s work, which was more like a half-day followed by five rain-days followed by a couple of hours:
And then Bossy and her trusty sidekick decorating partner mom celebrated their achievement:
Bossy’s good friends at HomeGoods would like to give one of Bossy’s readers the chance to win a $100 gift card. Here’s all you need to do: first take the StyleScope Quiz, and then leave Bossy a comment, below, with the result of the quiz: what is your decorating style?

Eh, sounds kinda right. I like so many styles. That’s why my house looks like a garage sale mixed with a thrift store.
Momish says
September 17, 2009 at 12:53 pmI have a style! “Bohemian Classic” My mother refers to my style as “schizophrenia with a touch of the orient” (but then again my mother is not a fab decorator, so what would she know anyway). Nothing in my house matches, but somehow that works for me. The first style hint they gave me was to “unify”. Gee, maybe I should try that!
Bossy’s new bedroom looks lovely! Sweet dreams, Bossy!
Casey Jo says

km says
September 17, 2009 at 12:59 pma Country Classic- apparently I like easy going comfort but am refined enough that I don’t disintegrate into a slob.
You have a naturally refined sensibility with an appreciation for tradition and history. You value beauty, craftsmanship, and family heirlooms, but you like to open things up with pretty, easy-going pieces like painted wood or distressed furniture, lovely florals and other patterns, and bunches of fresh flowers that give your home a breezy, relaxed feeling. You love unique finds, have a thrifty, creative side, and can make these things work together.
You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns to create a cozy effect.

September 17, 2009 at 1:34 pmI love Home Goods! I took the quiz, and I’m Country Eclectic (which probably translates to dirty and mix-match).
PS. I loved hearing you read your post at the Community Keynote at Blogher! I meant to visit sooner, but it slipped my mind.

Unless by “unify” they mean “buy some damn stuff to go in your damn house you damn broke new-homeowner”. Because…damn, my house is still empty.

It told me that I need to experiment, which is completely true also. I have a tan couch with beige pillows. I looked at the brightly colored pillows with longing, but fear held me back.
I love HomeGoods, most of my shopping last holiday season came from there.
Acher says
September 17, 2009 at 1:55 pmElegant Classic.
Maybe this explains my obsession with Prairie Style and Arts & Crafts, with a little bit of Art Deco thrown in?

Well, they definitely got the colors right.
Lorrie Mourlam says
September 17, 2009 at 1:58 pmElegant Classic………hmmmmm, I always thought I was more of a shabby chic kind of lady. Oh well, I love the word Elegant – it’s so elegant!!

carson says
September 17, 2009 at 2:17 pmCall me country casual, which kinda sorta fits since I doubt they called anybody ranch casual.
As for your bedroom makeover, watching that was a helluva lot more fun than taking the quiz. Well done, Bossy and Bossy’s mom! But I think you’d sleep better if you ditched the globe and the weight of the world’s problems that go with it.
Liz says

Sounds like me, I guess, except for the earthy part… if I never had a plant w/in 20 feet of my house (that includes grass) I would be happy!
zay says
September 17, 2009 at 2:21 pmMy decorating style is:
zay, you are an Earthy Casual
You’re interested in creating a welcoming home where people feel comfortable and happiness flourishes. You appreciate the warmth and individuality of natural materials and handcrafted things and are inspired by colors and forms from nature. You love mixing up different textures and are sensitive to the tactile qualities of objects. Your style is grounded and solid, not flighty or frilly. And you are never taken in by the trend of the moment.
You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns to create a cozy effect.

Zak says
September 17, 2009 at 3:18 pmI love me some Home Goods, you and your mother rocked it out!
I’m Earthy Casual. Hellz yeah.
steph says
September 17, 2009 at 3:20 pmStephanie, you are an Earthy Casual.
Why, yes. Yes I am.
Kim says
September 17, 2009 at 3:21 pmCountry Eclectic. Which translates to: she collects a lot of crap, I mean stuff.
Deb Mc says
September 17, 2009 at 3:23 pmCountry Casual
Which translated means I’m too lazy to change stuff up so it’s been around so long, it’s come back in style.
Question: Is dusty a color?
Amy says
September 17, 2009 at 3:24 pmAmy, you are an Elegant Classic (with parenthetical comments by Amy herself).
You have a refined sensibility with an appreciation for history and tradition in your furniture and your rooms (true – particularly craftsman style/bungalow style). You value beauty, things that are well crafted, and family heirlooms (true, particularly when they aren’t too fussy and Victorian and feminine). You are visually sensitive and understand how symmetry and a formal layout give order to a room, and hence your home is refined and calming (it would be, if I had more money and fewer children). You are not taken in by the trends of the moment (VERY true). You go for things with a timeless appeal, and appreciate old-fashioned virtues like manners and handwritten notes and making a home that is welcoming for others (YEP).
You value order. You feel happiest if your home is well organized (OMG Yes). You understand that when your house is in order, your mind feels clearer (I actually get anxiety symptoms when my house is a disaster – borderline OCD here). Rather than a lot of meaningless objects or overly-designed items, you are happier with a few well-placed things (Can’t stand clutter). Your home is your respite from a busy life. Try to avoid letting things into your home that you don’t really love (Check, check, check – now if only someone could tell my husband that we can get rid of some of his random crap…).
Freakishly accurate for an online quiz. Am impressed.

September 17, 2009 at 3:24 pm“Country Casual”!!

Carroll says
September 17, 2009 at 3:26 pmGlobal Casual, it is! Maybe the intuited the international collection of brooms I have hanging on the wall beside the fireplace 🙂
Decorator? Who needs a decorator when you’ve got your kids’ five-foot wingspan remote-control airplanes hanging on the walls of the living room.
“Family Eclectic” is more like it.
Debbie says
September 17, 2009 at 3:28 pmI’m Earthy Casual…
I hope I win since my little spot on the Earth could use some casual spiffing up!!!
Paula says

Amber Star says
September 17, 2009 at 3:32 pmI took the little questionaire and it said something about my style, but at that moment my hubby decided to come chat my ear off and bring up difficult problems..nothing serious to me, but he had to talk. Who knew..he goes for ages without talking. Most of the time I wonder if he knows my name, but back to the serious business of decorating. I think your room is lovely, but I do wonder that you didn’t address the skilight you have mentioned before as the light from it wakes you. Was wondering if maybe a sheet like the ones you bought for the bed or a companion color/print could have been used to make a Roman shade. Not sure that would work, but Amber Star loves to sleep in a cave w/o being bothered with the light coming into her room. Possibly there were some vampire ancestors or something. Anyway…about the shade…well, I was just saying.
Regina says
September 17, 2009 at 3:32 pmIt delcared me County Classic. I wouldn’t pretend to know more than Deborah Needleman, but I always strictly avoid county anything (in decorating). Maybe I’m wrong! I love, love, love HomeGoods.
Amber Star says
September 17, 2009 at 3:33 pmOh yes…I think one of those stores is going to open very near my home. I love that!
High Heeled Foot in the Door says
September 17, 2009 at 3:33 pmWhat Fun! I wish Home Goods was knocking on my door with a $500 gift card. Wow I just like dreaming about that!
I took the quiz and I’m glamorous classic. It pretty much nailed it on the head!
Mary Jo says
September 17, 2009 at 3:35 pmI’m Elegant Casual. And at first I thought “really?” But then after reading the description it was spot.on!
I bookmarked my results because I have felt we are in that still trying to get our house together stage as far as decorating.
I think the tips will be helpful :0)
Victoria says
September 17, 2009 at 3:39 pmToo funny! Love your Bossy self and your Mom and I,too, use my husband when it comes to hanging artwork. Although I might get it done a lot faster if I did it myself, I know the hubs uses all his fun radar tools to get things just right.
Love this quiz! I’m “Glamorous Classic.” And like I told another blogger, I do like bits of dramatic Hollywood Regency mixed in with my European country/updated traditional with pops of fresh contemporary. Schizoid here too! I think I just love too many things and want to mesh it all together. Is that a style or a sickness? lol!
Thanks for sharing what Homegoods can do for our tired, sad rooms. I definitely need a shopping spree to that amazing store after sitting here ill for many months and looking at my tired, sad rooms.

bdaiss says
September 17, 2009 at 3:41 pmI’m an Elegant Classic. Pretty spot on considering I just built a house to look like an old farmhouse. Everyone that’s been through it has commented on it’s “timeless” look.
Winning this is an excuse to go to Denver (where the nearest HomeGoods store is). So pick me Mr. Random Number!

Tawny says
September 17, 2009 at 4:13 pmFirst and foremost please tell HomeGoods I am moving away from them and going to Dover, DE and I think they should consider moving with me. Also they have a set of houndstooth armless chairs I would sell my firstborn for (if I had a first born). I have been visiting them for weeks and no one else seems to like them so I think I should be able to take them home for free. *Sigh*
Gail K. says
September 17, 2009 at 4:14 pmGlobal Casual – if by that they mean I drink English Breakfast tea and wear jeans and tshirts they are spot on!
Otherwise, my house right now is crap, crap, everywhere, can’t find the floor/counter/top of the dresser on a dare.

mrs. g. says
September 17, 2009 at 4:31 pmI don’t want to enter the giveaway–I’m having a garage sale this weekend and am on a “bringing into the house” probation–I just want to say that Bossy and her mom are Lookers with a capital L. Only Bossy can make hard work look so sweet and loving.
Mary says

Beth says
September 17, 2009 at 4:55 pmAccording to the quiz, I am Country Classic. I’m looking at my open kitchen/dining/living area as I type and I see: samplers hanging on the walls, ruffled floral valances, oak cabinets with arched doors…yeah, maybe they’re onto something. 🙂
Thanks so much for the chance to win!

Rorrington the Fireman says
September 17, 2009 at 5:13 pmWife-Casual. She picks out something, I bitch & moan about the cost, then give in, ‘coz, you know, pick your fights carefully. Plus it seems to make her happy to buy crap for the house, so there’s that, too…. (Yeah, 25 years. Why do you ask?)
Lori says
September 17, 2009 at 5:13 pmEarthy Casual
…and I love the pics of your mom. I looked in the mirror yesterday and thought, “oh my gosh that’s my mom” and after the first moment of shock thought maybe that’s not so bad after all 🙂

anne marie in philly says
September 17, 2009 at 5:58 pmanne marie, you are a Bohemian Casual
You are interested in creating a place where people feel relaxed. You have a variety of interests and influences and so appreciate different styles, cultures, and objects. Your home is cozy, with comfy chairs, throw pillows and places to set a drink or a book. But it also feels creative and visually intriguing, because you have an artist’s eye that allows you to find objects that appeal to you in a unique and personal way—whether from your travels or from a local shop. This gives your home a feeling of being laid-back, and maybe even a bit quirky with its mix of pieces—some of which are classic, some handmade, some ethnic, and some just rich in meaning to you.
You value serenity. While there are probably a lot of interesting things in your home, they are joined by your taste or a certain palette that keeps them in harmony. You appreciate the beauty in simple forms. Whether fancy or plain, you appreciate things that are well made and function as well as they look. You also have a strong respect for the environment and craftsmanship. You care about how things are made, and how they are used.

LERVE the new look; now I see where bossy’s daughter gets her sense of style! but why stop at just the bed…
Rachael says
September 17, 2009 at 6:03 pmI am “Bohemian Casual”, which I think is pretty accurate.
Amy says
September 17, 2009 at 6:03 pmEarthy Modern – that sounds kind of close. although some rooms in my house are leaning towards the austere / zen look. I love clean lines and can’t think when surrounded by clutter.

janny226 says
September 17, 2009 at 9:34 pmEarthy Casual — which, though I’m not going to go through and count them all, seems to be winning as the style the most number of Bossy readers have. Sweet story about your room, and a fun quiz! Thanks, Bossy! I already feel like a winner. (Oh, wait, the random number generator doesn’t respond to sucking up … or does it?)
Anyway though I found out have one problem — according to the quiz, my Happy Place is outdoors, but I got no outdoor space. Can Home Goods sell me a clip-on balcony for my apartment? Maybe some nature-themed stuff…
chook says

MemeGRL says
September 17, 2009 at 11:16 pmIt should come as no surprise to Bossy and her mother that HomeGoods calls me “Bohemian Classic,” which I believe is the kind way of saying “hot mess of a packrat who wishes her house was big enough for all the crap she’s collected over the years.” But I did adore the palate it showed me. Of course, I adore most palates of things that go together since that’s not really something I can do by myself.

Rebekah says
September 18, 2009 at 1:32 amEarthy Casual was my result. Pretty spot on. However other styles do fit me here and there as well. I could use some decor to make my “before” house an “after”. It needs it!

I think Bossy’s mom is a babe.
margalit says

And tell the HomeGoods people that their quiz doesn’t work in Mozilla Foxfire: the pesky “next” button didn’t show! Broke down and went Microsoft route.
Annnndddd, not that you’ll read this amongst the other 400+ comments, but just last very night I dreamed I was at Bossy’s HOUSE! Which was nothing like the real or renovated BossyHouse but I thought, hmmm, she’s torn out the dining room but has left the mural she painted on that wall and this is interesting to see in real life instead of just on the blog. So I think I need to stop dream-stalking you.
And why didn’t they give you a new mattress which is what it sounds like you need most.

Bossy, your photo of the old lamp and table is missing a caption. It needs the arrow to the curtain saying “Stuff Bossy doesn’t want you to see.” I noticed you got rid of the table and have far less storage space there now. HOW?? Where did you put the stuff?

September 19, 2009 at 9:51 amI’m bohemian casual. Love the quiz almost as much as I love HOMEGOODS!
Heather says
September 19, 2009 at 9:57 amOoopsie. I didn’t take the quiz first. I’m “Earthy Casual” which sounds right.
Lori in MN says
September 19, 2009 at 10:09 amEarthy Casual – guess that’s why I hang pretty sticks on the wall and keep my birkenstocks in the cluttered entryway…but we are constantly donating furniture from our friends and family, who think we’ll use anything!
Beth says
September 19, 2009 at 10:14 amEarthy Casual. Seems like the most common choice. Really, when left to my own devices, I am all about a laptop and a futon on the floor.
I would also like to say that I am pleased that you, who obviously have a great marriage, have your own room! I think this is the most civilized way to be, but my partner thinks it’s a betrayal of all marriage stands for.
Emily says
September 19, 2009 at 10:25 amI am Earthy Casual and my design challenge is to organize… how did they know that clutter drives me crazy?
Christina says
September 19, 2009 at 10:51 amEarthy Eclectic. I love the photos of you and Momma Bossy laughing and kissing. And those chairs you picked out would look great in our living room- but where would the hockey bag go? Sleep well in the new space.

September 19, 2009 at 1:44 pmBossy Fantastico! A regular of mine @ the restaurant I work @ always bringz me old copies of New Yorker magazinez and for awhile I was able to keep up. Now though, they are mainly used as a make-shift carpet for the floor my car, which is where they naturally end up after I throw them to the back seat.

Colette says
September 19, 2009 at 3:37 pmBossy,
According to your friends I am classified as a “global casual”. I think that is code for either “you have no clue for what your like” or “mishmash”. I love the HomeGoods store though and because they have so much cool stuff to choose from, I’m sure they are part of the problem…….

September 20, 2009 at 3:44 pmI call it the “I like it” look.
If I like it, then in it goes…usually it all works well together. And if it doesn’t, then I’ll move things around until I’m able to sleep at night (yes occasionally I’ve been unable to sleep knowing that I’ve got something in another room that isn’t fitting-in well with everything else).
As a last resort, I will paint whatever it is that isn’t working, my way of forcing things to work well together 🙂

Jenn @ Juggling Life says

October 2, 2009 at 5:05 pmI wouldn’t have chosen the words “Earthy Casual” but the description fits me well: “a welcoming home … natural materials … mixing up different textures … grounded and solid, not flighty or frilly. … You value serenity.”

Hope I win!!

Lori Jones says
October 8, 2009 at 5:38 pmLori, you are an Elegant Classic
You have a refined sensibility with an appreciation for history and tradition in your furniture and your rooms. You value beauty, things that are well crafted, and family heirlooms. You are visually sensitive and understand how symmetry and a formal layout give order to a room, and hence your home is refined and calming. You are not taken in by the trends of the moment. You go for things with a timeless appeal, and appreciate old-fashioned virtues like manners and handwritten notes and making a home that is welcoming for others.
You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns to create a cozy effect.
Heather says

Bobbie says
October 13, 2009 at 1:16 amMy style was Bohemian Chic which I agree with 100%. It’s mainly because I cannot make up my mind on a style, therefore having tons of styles crammed together while trying to unify them into chicness.
Sarah says
