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....
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 :)
