I’m just popping in quickly today and it will probably be my only post this week since it will be a super busy week and after that I will hopefully be back to my regular posting schedule.
I have one major DIY project to tackle when I get back. After redoing the upstairs flooring (click HERE) I still didn’t tackle the carpet, flooring and base molding on and around the stairs. I get a headache just thinking about it. There is so much patching and sanding, staining and painting involved. I don’t even know how I will do it without my kids or cats walking through it while drying. It keeps me up at night thinking about how to accomplish this.
And I can’t just leave this post like this and only complain about my stairs.
Have you seen the new Target home decor items?
I want so much right now but so far only bought this Aztec rug with a coupon. They’ve had it for a while and I finally pulled the trigger:
I also have my eye on this stool for our bathroom which is another project I need to finish:
These marble candle holders and objects are too good to be true:
Love this patterned pillow (it looks greenish on their website too which it clearly isn’t):
And I want to find a spot for this lamp really badly:
I have also been working on something on my computer which is taking a long time and is inspired by a pillow that I saw on my friend Shavonda’s Instagram feed. Lets see if this is going to turn into what I have in mind for it 😉
I’m clearly all about black and white here lately.
Have a great week and talk to you soon.

love that rug! ihave stayed out of target because i am trying to tell myself that i don’t need to buy anything for my home… at least not much. 😉
I know I should stay out of there as well. I really should
Well if you don’t want to spend money than you better stay out because so much of what they have would look perfect in your home, the copper and marble stuff is awesome!!!
Man, I’ve been eyeing that marble candle holder and I just keep telling myself to wait until it goes on clearance. The stuff there is so good right now.
I know, I need it to go on clearance. There’s just too much I like right now.
Oh I understand….. I really need to do SOMETHING to my non flooring. I am torn between staining the concrete or painting or papering…… I am scared….. cause like you I have 5, yes FIVE Pups and only 3 kitty kats now (Sadie Lady died)…… and between depression and old age and health starting to fall apart I have become the ultimate procrastinator) … besides being totally broke and no money till next month.
Aww I’m so sorry to hear about depression and your health. Please hang in there Sheryll, ok?
Oooh, I haven’t seen those marble candleholders… love!
Go get ’em !
I saw the marble candleholders this weekend and my daughter rolled her eyes at me because of how excited I was and how I had to go to them and touch them! They are crazy heavy and really beautiful!! Love love love your rug!!!
I saw that very same rug in Target (I literally went there the very next day after seeing this post) and almost committed, but the off-white color bothered me too much to take it home. As much as I loved the pattern (I’ve been looking for one like that for ages!) and the softness, I knew I couldn’t live with anything less than pure white in my home – it just wouldn’t match 🙁
I spotted another rug – gray/white by Nate Berkus – and that man designs too many nice things for me to go home empty-handed that day! What’s even better is that Target price matches, so whatever lowest price is listed on there official site is what they’ll charge! The Aztec rug was actually listed $70 more in-store and rang up at the higher price – yikes! Thankfully customer service assured me that they’d charge me the lowest price. I always double check prices when I shop at Target now. I limit myself to shopping there once a year because I know I just can’t control myself around all the home decor!
Haha, I hear ya! Too much good stuff and good to know about the price matching.
yup and see you later
Loving all the black and white! I haven’t been to Target for a few weeks….maybe I need to stay away 😉
Love all your picks! I have been staying away from Target lately because I want all the things! Lol!
You’re going to love the rug. I’m dissapointed the white in mine has discolored so quickly (and I have a carpet cleaner :() but it is beautiful and soft. I’ve been crushing on that target lamp, too. Swoon!
I nearly bought that lamp the other day, but I do not have a place for it. I could always find a place, but I don’t really need it. Look at me being an adult and recognizing needs and wants! Target has been killing it lately with their home products. They’ve always been good, but lately it seems like every line puts out several incredible pieces.
I think you need it LOL
