Target Finds!

Hi all!

Went to Target the other day and found some goodies in the $5 and less section and let me tell ya I have been SLEEPING on this section!!!! Why didn’t I look here before?! Well, now I know and will be checking more often.

I was so inspired by this YouTube video where this lady goes to Target and finds all of these cute items, and that’s when I thought of the idea of making a coffee/cocoa bar. I was able to grab a few things for it and also something to start my picture collage in our bedroom. Since we moved our dining room set into the corner of our living room, we have this partially empty den and don’t know what to do with it yet. We know we want to add two sofa chairs or a couch eventually, but the space is a little awkward because we have that pretty window that goes out a bit. So it’s tough to set up two couches there which is why I think two nice sofa chairs would look good there. We also moved our living room table here. The goal of this den is for it to be a space where we can unplug, drink coffee, and read or talk. With no electronic distractions. Which is why I think it’s essential the coffee bar is perfect.

I bought two pieces of decoration to hang right above the bar.

I think it looks super cute and much better than before. The next things I want to find at Target are these glass jars that come with scoops. I’d love to put cocoa and marshmallows in two of them and sit them on the table next to the coffee machine. I also went this tier basket so I can use that to add some stuff in like cocoa mugs and make a few other decorations.

For our bedroom, I found this really cute 3 piece picture set which I will put in the middle of the pictures we already have in our room. It’s pretty empty in general, only one side has pictures. I still have some picture I want to print out, but I need to buy bigger frames since I want to make those a little bigger than the rest.

Update: Put these two pictures up, I think it looks adorable!

Hoping to go to another Target this week to see if they have anything the others didn’t. Hopefully I can find more of what the lady had in her YouTube video. There was a really cute picture that would be perfect for the kitchen. The quote said, “the dishes can wait… life won’t.” I thought that was sooooo cute! There was also this cute home sign, so I am super excited to go see what the other Target has!

Stay tuned for more Target finds and more of my home updates! 🙂

DIY Fall Wreath

Hi all!

So I have done this 2 years in a row now where I make my own fall wreath. I get my supplies from the Dollar Store – this costs literally less than $10, everything is a dollar each. I always see really cute ones at Marshall’s and other stores, but I can’t justify spending $15-20 for one when I can easily make one in 30 minutes for under $10. 

The supplies:

Metal wreath and a bunch of leaves tied together:

From this point on, it’s fairly simple. I just wrapped it around the wreath and taped behind on the metal parts on the plastic pieces (not the leaves) and that way it just looked full of leaves and very colorful. I used hot glue last time, but this time I didn’t have any so tape worked just as well!

Here is the finished product. Took about 30ish minutes. 

Super pretty and super easy! Let me know if you try this.
