Went to Hobby Lobby today to find some decor for my newly painted basement kitchen when I get it done.  Boy, everything was cowboy, galvanized, cows, horses - all western inspired decor - what's with that?  How many people decorate in the western theme?  Ridiculous!  I did find a couple of items.  I think with the yellow walls the accents are going to be red since I have a red and white table down there and white appliances.  I found a gingham goldish and red checked material which I believe I am going to make a curtain for the window above the refrigerator.  Just disappointed I didn't find anything kitcheny.  Definitely don't like the new trend at HL. 

Did see a lot of baskets and things I will be getting for my laundry room once wallpaper is off of it and it is completed (next project).  Want to put some shelves up and do a beige/turquoise theme in there.

I've only been twice, but I just don't like the store.  Can't put my finger on the reason.  Maybe other stores are different than my local store.

@hoosieroriginal I noticed the Western theme in our local Hobby Lobby also, not a fan of it either, if I remember right on my last visit, I walked out without purchasing anything.

Well, Hobby Lobby is based in Oklahoma City, possibly explaining the Western decor.

Do you have a Home Goods?

Have three stores within driving distance. 

I think it's just a trend for a season or two. 

I remember the shabby chic - not especially for me but I lived through it.

@proudlyfromNJ - No, sadly, we don't - really wish we had one, but I would be in REAL trouble if we had a Home Goods here.  Even looked at TJ Maxx, nothing special in wall decor there either.  I did end up buying a galvanized chalk board, but I'm going to paint it red.  Liked the size of it, but not the galvanized look.

@hoosieroriginalThere's also Kirklands and Pier One if either are near you.

They do have a lot of that but also many, many other themes/selections. Maybe regional?

@VirgoGirl I am a Kirkland's regular, either I shop in store or on line, they always offer discount coupons and their inventory changes quite frequently, I absolutely love that store!

Edit:  If you do not want to sign up for their emails, I just discovered that you can go to their website, type in the search bar "Discount Coupons" and it will bring up all that are available at the time.  Now at times they will be for online orders only (but they do FREE ship to store) or for in store only, but a couple of times they have offered both so it is at least worth a try if they have nothing on their homepage!
