Target is happening. I mean every time I turn around there is something new. The other day I stopped in for toilet paper and walked out actually considering large furniture purposes.

Collaborations with Nate Berkus, Safavieh & Threshold now put Target in the running for leading home decor looks. I've found a few things I am wanting for my apartment asap.

Gold flatware is everything & hammered makes it better. How great would these look on a big black table?

These chairs are perfect for a patio. & throw these yellow and white striped cushions on top and you've got instant style.

This Safavieh for Target exclusive chair is everything. Must get one of these.

A black floorlamp like this is pretty much perfection

This gold table is just so rich and sophisticated, I can't believe its at Target. Well done!

In the summer, when the AC is going, you gotta have a soft chenille throw.

After working in New York for so long, I've come to know all the city's greatest thrift markets and shops that have major scores. This week I've been tooling around in the snow and have yet to find the perfect accessories for the home in Austin. I found a few things that could work but nothing that I really love. When I asked the clerk about the inventory, he said they run dry in the cold wintertime. Ugh. That bothers me. So, of course, I decided to head straight to ebay to find all the things I need for the empty and sad built ins. I could always run out and get a few new things, but vintage items are way more my speed and definitely stylish. [You can see a few collections I have put together here.]

I have a small obsession with blue and white ginger jars too, they look so chic on shelves.

Not to mention, I love a well styled area of open shelving in a kitchen and using gorgeous vintage entertaining essentials, [another one of my ebay collections].
