It’s All In The Details (part 2 of 4)

Further to last week’s post, where Target contacted me about shopping it’s new products in the Threshold home collection, I’m excited to share this week’s find with you. Having had enough of this cold, gray winter and all the extreme super storms that came along with it, I literally can not wait to welcome spring into my home. When I spied this over sized vase at Target, I knew right away that it would make a perfect addition to my foyer, adding just the right amount of height and drama that was needed on this table top vignette. It still feels like winter here, but I was able to find these Forsythia branches at my local supermarket. Not only are they the perfect height and color for the space and new vase, but Forsythias are of course renowned for ushering in spring. I love how the foyer looks now. One little change made such a positive impact on the whole space.

It’s All In The Details (part 1 of 4)

When Target contacted me about shopping and writing about it’s new home line, Threshold, I was happy to participate. I already frequent Target, for a variety of products, including home decor. I love to score quality items at a great price. Having a mix in your home of both high and low purchases is really where it’s at.

I wanted to give my son’s bathroom a quick and inexpensive update. Inspired by the seaside, I thought the beach would make a great theme for a boy of any age. When I spotted these fun green and blue global hand towels, I knew they would work perfectly by adding the dash of color this neutral room needed. I added another solid hand towel in “trout stream” underneath, to give it a little bit more oomph.

I also got this great looking soap dispenser. At only $9.99, I couldn’t resist replacing the Sponge Bob Square Pants plastic bottle of hand soap, that was previously there. Finally, I grabbed this cute little tumbler, just to complete the whole look. I really like how these small purchases (only about $31.00) added up to such a stylish upgrade for my son’s bathroom vanity.
