Cute stuff at Target

I made a trip to Target this weekend with my daughter who was getting a new cover for the Ipod Touch she got for Christmas.  Naturally, I decided to take a look in the Home Decor area to see what was new, and they really had some cute stuff.

Foo dogs in the most beautiful shade of Chinese red

And a pretty ikat pillow to go with it!

A great accessory in white - this will add a little sophistication wherever you put it.

Pretty cotton rug

Target always has the cutest side tables.  Don't you just love the geometric pattern?

This color combination is so fresh and pretty

I don't know if I was too early or too late, but there were none of these to be found. I imagine they would coordinate with the floral pillow above.

And ...

Do you think the powers -that -be at Target decided to chevron everything after that crazy Missoni event last year? Chevron patterns were everywhere!

They also had a some gold and white chevron lampshades, which I failed to photograph!

Happy happy Monday!  Can you believe we're already halfway through January?

Let's Go Shopping - For Chinoiserie on Ebay

Are you enjoying the current resurgence of all things Chinoiserie?  I know I am and I think I caught it from my Mom.  She has used Asian-inspired accents throughout her home for years and these pieces look as current now as they did 20 years ago!  More good news.... great Chinoiserie pieces can be found in thrift stores, on craigslist and on ebay.  Mid-century pieces are usually bargain-priced and can be easily transformed with paint and/or fabric. 


Wanna see what I found on ebay?

One of a set of 4

Vintage barkcloth fabric from the 40's.  Has a modern feel, right?

Same with these vintage jars

and these brass lamps

White lamps?  Love 'em.  Jar Lamps?  Love 'em.  Double Jeopardy!

I know...

These chunky pagodas are bookends.  

If these were mine I would swap out the white shades for some black ones, then I would carry them around  my house for days deciding where they should go because I want them everywhere.

Gorgeous wallpaper that is no longer in production. How about lining the back of a cabinet with this?

These are vintage curtains and look to be in great condition - and who can say no to pink and green?

Was that as good for you as it was for me?
