at home

You know how some places just take you somewhere else?

That’s what atHome in Birmingham, Al. did for me the first time I visited.  I knew I’d have to go back for some photos (which they graciously let me take).

Mom and I drove to Birmingham to see The Pioneer Woman at her book signing, and had just enough time to stop in for some pics and a quick purchase.

The styling is perfect, vignettes pulling you in here and there.  The store almost has an upscale flea market vibe mixed with home decor…and is known to change its look daily.

Whatever the look should be described as…three things it certainly is:  stylish, casually elegant, and soooo me.

If I had a storefront, this is what it would look like.  Those teal leather slippers are literally making me salivate.

The store is FULL of inspiration & beautiful pieces…rumor has it we’re doing a little saving for a new bedroom dresser from this delicious spot.

My mom is so adorable–my look is not for everyone, so not everything in the shop appealed to her, but when she saw this coffee table?

I think she was salivating, too.

This is where I scooped up the beautiful coral spheres and bottle…and I LOVE them in our home.

Who doesn’t need a factory-cart dining table?!?

Even the checkout process is breathtaking–look at that cabinet.

The girls there were super helpful and available to answer my many any questions.  If you’re in the Birmingham area, do yourself a favor and stop by.

You won’t be disappointed.

    At Home has always been my #1 favorite store in the world. I quite frequently crave their Armoire’s and have always wished that I can move their store to every city that I live in. Thanks for posting!

    Ok, I’m not completely jealous! I wish we had one of those stores! I could spend hours there!!! (maybe it’s a good thing we don’t have one! lol). It looks like you had a blast! Thanks for introducing me to At Home!

    How fun Shaunna! My kind of store! Have you been to Granville furnishings in Montgomery yet? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve found my dream sofa…they describe themselves as a smaller version of at Home. ;} Now if only I can bring myself to drop the money. My tummy hurts.

      Where is it?!? I need to know. Now. So mine can start hurting too. :-)

    WOWZERS!! A girl could get lost there for days. I loved everything on that shelf. And the dining room table with the big wheels on it….if only I could. Wish I lived closer.

    What a wonder!!! Thanks for the virtual tour. So wish I was closer.

    Blessings, Lorraine

    Do you think they’d mind relocating to Colorado? Oh, that looks like so much fun! Can’t wait to see the new dresser come home with you!

    I’m in B’ham now! Hoping I have time to make it! Thanks for that.

    Just stumbled upon your blog from Pinterest this am. AtHome has been my absolute favorite store since we moved to the South a few years ago. Super pumped to search your blog for your other favorite stores and flea markets now!

    In the words of Liz Lemon ‘I want to go to there’. Thank you for the gorg eye candy, makes me want to hop on a plane to Alabama, now!
