Target Hit The Bullseye

You know when you go into a store for one thing and walk out with 10 others? That is what always happens to me in Target.

I went into Target for what was a quick in & out trip to get a plain white queen duvet cover for my own guest room. One and a half hours later and $100 more than I wanted to spend, I finally left.

Target is a great place to shop. I love their low cost high style jeans and their bathing suits are always on trend and you can't beat the prices. I have always walked through their home decor section but this last time I was very excited. With the great designers like Nate Berkus & home decor brands like Threshold there is a fresh new look to the average home decor selections. Every isle I walked down I saw something that caught my eye.  These are my top Target picks that really hit the bullseye on style.

Threshold Canister 

Gross Grain Applique Throw Pillow

Large Metal Hurricane

Clybourn Loft Chair Velvet Smoke

Three Hands White Storage Ottoman with nail head detail

Mohawk Home Elegant Ikat Area Rug

Nate Berkus Monterrey throw pillow

Three Hands Chrome Stool

Most items you can get online & in store but some of the items sell out faster online. If there is an item you like online but it's no longer available I recommend going into your local Target to see the availability. I bout these two items from the Nate Berkus Collection in the store but they are no longer available online. 

At the great budget friendly prices Target has, the good items go quick!

IKEA HACK

I love design on a budget, who doesn't? What I love even more is bringing your originality into these designs. I am a designer and look at furniture all day long so if I see a table in someone's home chances are I know it came from Crate & Barrel or West Elm. What I love is that I also know when pieces come from IKEA, except when they have a twist on them like these AH-MAZING IKEA hacks.....

First up, the Lack table. $7.99. I love this side table. I have 3 of them in my home. This is how you pull off the lack side table look with some corbets from Home Depot & wood glue. Sand, paint (I recommend a glossy finish) and Whallah, you got yourself a one of a kind side table that looks a lot more expensive than it is!

My Favorite of all time is the Clayton Grey look-a-like but for $400 less!

 Next is the Rast. For $34.99 you can completely transform this 3 drawer mini dresser into a chest for your bedroom, office or entrance way. Great for storing clothing or other items. With a little embellishments you can let your creativity flow. Here are a few of my favorite Rast Hack looks.
