Shop girl: Homestyle
Even though I was only out of town for a couple of days I made sure to quench my thirst for interior design by making a stop in Providence, RI.
Prior to my trip I had of course gone and line and scouted out different shops that I wanted to see. Of course I never actually printed out my list assuming I could just pull it up online when we arrived. Ah you know what they say about assuming…. The house we were staying out had no internet access and I couldn’t get it from nearby neighbors so I was left sans internet for 2 and a half day. Shocking I know. Not sure how I was able to do it.
So without a list or even a little hint to what I had on my shopping guide we proceeded out to Providence anyway. Lucky for me I have quite the understanding hubby who let me drag him up and down the streets of Providence and even said, “Hey look that store is called, “Home Style” do you want to go in?”
He didn’t have to ask me twice, because of course the answer was yes. What a gem of a store! Filled to the brim with amazing home good finds. I knew I needed to walk away with something I just wasn’t sure what.
Here are some of the items that caught my eye:
Seeing a table full of colorful koi pitchers I knew I needed to buy one. I was already envisioning filling them flowers instead of using it for drinks. Then I saw that there was one on display filled with water. Why you may ask? Well, to show you that it’s more than just a beverage pitcher. This product is actually called Gurgle Pot and it produces this amazing gurgling sound as trapped air is released from the tail after pouring. It sounds a bit weird, but it’s so quirky and fun that after hearing it I grabbed one right away.
The next thing that caught my eye was custom lamps from slip.
You can pick from a variety of base styles which you can then get in one of their 30 fab color choices. They also have a variety of fabric choices that you can pick from for the shade!
Moving along to the back of the store I found cheeky and chic matted prints from Belle Muse. It was hard to pick a favorite!
Along with prints they also carry designs in stationary cards, which can also be framed for a cheaper option.
Last, but not least was of my favorite pieces in the whole store:
Counting Birds Wall Art by eeboo. The birds had me right away. They were so sweet looking and each card was around 8”x11” so they would look great matted and framed in a nursery.
Of course when I got home one of the first things I did with my beloved Internet access was google Home Style and found out that this stylish shop was owned by local interior designer, Lisa Newman.
Ah to live a day is Ms. Newman’s shoes. She has my dream life.
Design business: check

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I was just THERE. BUMMER to have missed this awesome place! I need one of those vases!-carlee
Glad to hear you are back! I am totally going to get the Shoe Whore notecards. Love them!

Hi!
Glad you are back! Wish I could have gone shopping with you! I got your e-mail, I will write back later today when I can sit and type for a while!
I love the "shoe whore" print! What a fun store.
I have to say that I did bring home a koi pitcher, but it's not for me!
We are actually sending it as a thank you gift to Jon's cousin that loaned us the house.
Online though it's actually cheaper than what we paid so I think a new fishy is going to be making it's way home to me as well.
What a great place! Welcome back:) Love those koi pitchers–such lovely colors.
I just love seeing how stores are set up and all the interesting products they sell. Those gurgle pots are so cool!
I love those fish jugs – I would like one in every colour, xv.
Cool stuff!
Oh Fun! I'm not far from Providence, I'll have to put this little store on my list of places to go ASAP. LOVE those bird prints, they are so cute!
So many goodies. I don't know where to look! Love those pitchers!
You totally lucked in just stopping by and finding such a great place! I have a blog, and I have thought about taking pics while in stores–but I always feel awkward. What do you say to the store clerks about taking the pictures?? Anything? Or do you just do it and hope they don't kick you out?
Love all those fun lamps and shades.
Sorry I've been MIA lately… I'm back and trying to catch up!
