Dreamin' of a Living Room Makeover with #WorldMarket_HGTV

Our current media center is horrible.  It's in great shape but I just don't like it anymore.  I need a media center that has storage space - as you can see, this one does not.  Everything is so exposed and ugly.     I'm embarrassed of this section of our living room.  My Mom would be horrified I'm even sharing it!  This is why we need a living room makeover!

Hubby and I are still in school and we have books and magazines everywhere.  I've been eyeing "kitchen buffets" for our new media center.  Yes, I said kitchen buffets - they are well constructed, have great storage space and are gorgeous!  I'm a huge fan!

This is what I would buy if I won a room makeover with World Market's HGTV Passport to Style Sweepstakes!  Okay, I lied... I can sit here and make collages all day of what I would buy from World Market!  World Market has something for everyone!

  1. Schylling Wind-Up Tin Robot Set - These robots would look so cute set off to the side of the tv!
  2. Antique Black Verona Buffet - This would be my new media center.  Isn't it a beauty?  I have to have it!  
  3. Vintage Puzzles, Set of 4 - I would place these on the opposite side of the robot set.  It would be a great conversation starter.
  4. Antique Black Verona Bar - I need this to match my buffet, it would fit perfect next to my media center as extra storage.  
  5. Antique Green Globe with Brass Stand - I have been looking for a globe and this one would be perfect on my storage center!
  6. Owen Desk Cubby Natural - This would also go on my storage center, each of us would have a cubby.  I could see Hubby storing his wallet and keys in his cubby.  I would write notes to my boys and leave them in their cubbies.

Culture starts at Home! #WorldMarketSweeps

Our home is full of interesting pieces from all over the World.  It makes for great History lessons with our children and conversation pieces with visiting friends.  I love shopping at World Market because they offer unique and trendy items.  I can spend a few hours in there just looking at stuff, I get lost in their aisles.  More recently I picked up a few food items to send to my foodie pen pal.  World Market carries everything!  Get lost online, I dare you!

Here are my top picks:

World Market Gourmet Getaway
1 / Glass Cloche / I need these for craft projects!
2 / Mini Alpaca / So adorable and really inexpensive, only $7.99!  Great for gifts!
3 / Stone Lotus Bowl / This would give personality to our entertainment center. Also great for gifts!
4 / Armillary Sphere / This is really interesting.
5 / Small Alaina Bird Cage Wall Frame / I'm always looking for ways to display notes and pictures!
6 / Antique Leather Rectangle Suitcase / I love suitcases, this has a vintage look and would look good on one of my shelves with a figure or figures sitting on top of it.
7 / Giraffe Bust / I love faux animal busts, this one is different and would fit perfect in our home!

**Grand Prize package includes:
A trip for two to to Santa Fe, New Mexico (this is a 5 day Trip for 2 to Santa Fe which includes airfare and hotel)
Hands on Southwestern Cooking class with Master Chef
Personally signed glossy cookbook
Multi-course dinner at the acclaimed Geronimo
Southwestern Foodie Tour with a cultural kick
A $1,000 World Market gift card
** There will also be 3 runner up prize winners that will each receive a $500 World Market gift card!
