The power of Target

What is it about target that makes you want to buy everything?

I've had my living room rug for a couple months now, and I just wasn't digging the colors anymore. I wanted something more modern and updated.




Here you see my adorable pooch modeling the colors for me, fuzz from his recently destroyed toy and all.

Sorry for the blurry photo, it's all I have now! I sold it on craigslist. I have been eyeing this rug from target for weeks now:

When I saw it was 15% off, I went ahead and sprung for it! After my 15%, I also got another 5% off for using my brand new target debit card! Read about that here if you haven't heard about it! My sister told me about it, and I think it's an awesome idea. It has all the perks of a Target credit card, except the money comes directly out of your checking account. So now I get 5% off everything, and free shipping, and I can't overspend!

After both those discounts and using the money I got from selling the old rug, I came out almost even! I also picked up this adorable soft rug for in front of the door:

I couldn't find it on the website for you, but it was $14.99(before my 5% off) and I just love the color! It's a gorgeous deep teal and adds a nice touch without being overwhelming. It doesn't have any backing thought, and I need to tape the corners down.

I adored these cookie jars, but held off from buying them. I'm trying to cut down the counter clutter because my kitchen isn't the biggest, but look how cute!

Also, have you seen these stickers? They were all over popular Pinterest items in Target.

As if Pinterest isn't addicting enough already, now we've got pins running around in real life!

I also loved these mercury glass dishes:

Then I picked up one of these cute placemats for $3.99:

Then I had to hurry and leave the store before I bought anything else! I think it will make a super cute pillow! I'm either going to cut it open and  stuff the inside(it's lined) OR find a cute contrasting fabric for the back.  Stay tuned!
