some new target finds

i've been keeping my eye out for a few new pieces of furniture and some different things to finish off rooms.  lately target has been where i have found everything.  

i am obsessed with target!  they have the cutest things and always at a great price.  

plus if you have a target debit/credit card, they give you 5% off your whole order.  better than the 10% discount i got at wal-mart when i worked there, because i hate shopping there, so i rarely used it.  

anyways....

first, i got some new bookcases for my office.  (i haven't done a whole post on my office yet, but will soon!)

originally i was going to get the really cheap bookcases that they sell and have Marky Mark put some trim on them and fancy them up to look like built-ins, but he has enough projects on the house.

instead i waited for these to go on sale and snatched them up.  they are originally $110 a piece, i got them for around $75 each.  such a good deal, and they ended up looking so good in the space.

i got white to match the whole feel of the office.  i have added more things to the bookcases since this pic, but would like to do some more styling to them.

second, i got a front entryway bench.  this was really important because we had been noticing that anytime someone came over they had a heck of the time taking their shoes off.

originally i was just going to put a table here, but decided a bench made more sense.  we wanted a place for people to sit down or set their things down.  there is also additional storage in the bench.

it was $170, but i got it on sale for $110!

eventually i want to get a pillow. (i saw one at TJ's that said "happy home."  i passed cause i wasn't too sure on it but might go back for it)  and i was thinking of possibly putting a table next to the bench on either side.  i have been eyeing a really pretty silver one at, where else, target.

and we definitely need a new rug for there ASAP but i have been having a hard time finding any rugs I like.

i got these baskets for my office.  they look a little funny in the picture but they look really good in my office.

they says mail, stuff and magazines on them.  i actually needed a place for all of those things so this was perfect.

they were originally $20 and i got them for $16!


these are just a few of my recent buys from target lately.  i also ordered some bedside tables for the master that should be here next week!  excited to get those, especially cause Mark has always used a garden table as his bedside table.  he will finally have drawers!  and a place to put his things!  it will be awesome :)
