I hope Target does this again this year! Last year I purchased a HUGE and awesome coffee table made of woven rattan (75% off too!) It’s probably one of my favorite things in my home! I was just bummed that they had the event before I owned my home, so I wasn’t comfortable buying everything without knowing what my future home would need. So this year, bring it on!

Thanks,
Caitlin

Since we’re talking about sales, I wanted to mention that I bought some terrific panel curtains from JCPenney last fall. $34 each, regularly $80. I love them and want more. No such luck. They haven’t gone on sale since.
I decided to send an email to JCP customer service and ask if I could order more (yet a diff color, blah blah blah) and get the same sale price. I did reference my original order number…

Guess what! Less than 24 hours later, they CALLED me to say YES! What do I need? How many? Free shipping to my house or do I prefer store pick up.

I give this a WOW for outstanding customer service and I’m excited that I’ll receive the “PB Wheat” knock off at JCP that Sherry and John called for in my dining room.
YES!

I finally got to Target last night (braving the -14 degree temperatures) and everything in this section at the one I went to (Roseville, MN) was already 30% off. If my DH and I weren’t in saving mode, I would have definitely made a number of purchases. Still thinking about the capiz wall hanging to go behind our TV…

Also, to any of your MN readers, Cost Plus World Market is going out of business here in MN. Last night, everything was 10-20% off, and the clerk told me they’ll continue to get merchandise in until the MN warehouses are empty–and I’m guessing the deals will get really good by the last days. He said it could be anywhere from 1 week until they close or a month until they close.

The Gray Armchair is selling on Target.com as a set of 2 for only $419 now! What a bargain!

This is so funny! I just saw this same display of fantastic rugs at my Target a few days ago and thought, “John and Sherry will totally love these. I bet they’ll blog about them.” And, what do you know, here they are?!! I feel like such a mind reader! I just wish they made the rugs in a larger size.

This stuff is all so cute, I will have to go check it out! I am loving the Umbra line they got in a couple weeks ago, I got a lovely swirly wine rack.

Clever idea to turn the 3×5 rugs into a larger floor coverings: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/how-to/how-to-create-a-quick-cheap-rug-041022

I went to my local Target last night and all the Home stuff was marked down 30% and most of it was already gone! I did get one of the rugs that y’all mentioned so hopefully it will work in my room.

Ahh…I cannot wait for a Target to open around here! We actually have 2 in the works, but neither is open just yet!

I’m curious about your idea to wallpaper a bookshelf though; we have two old rather hideous ones (MDF covered with some kind of faux-wood laminate) that we need for storage but I’d really rather not look at them. My dad told me that paint wouldn’t stick to it well, and since we store books on it, they might stick to the paint as well. Could you wallpaper (or do something with Modg-Podg?) on top of the laminate? What do you think?
