At Home: The New Store

My family and I recently have experienced coming to this store. They have one close to us but in the next city over.

I love this store. Just as I love all of the stores on this list. This visit of ours was a coincidence. My mother had an appointment in this city next to ours and we saw At Home and we visited the store just to get a feel of it. Although most of the seasonal items were filling up the shelves for Christmas, we went to the items of furniture section of the store. They had a good selection in their showroom with affordable prices. Sofas were on sale because I think the end of the year sale.

All in all, I had fun and we purchased a few items like pillows which are of good quality at affordable prices, and see what was in store for the next purchasing adventure.

I and my mom will come back.
