Target Deals You Can't Pass Up!


Ok, I just can't get enough of Target lately. 
They have some seriously awesome pieces right now that are perfect for styling and adding that finishing touch every space needs!

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know I have been sharing a few of my favorite Target finds.
First up, so many great ottomans! If you are on the hunt for an affordable tufted ottoman, these two are under $100.00! Can't beat that!

Love the gold on this one...


and the nailhead trim on these...


I really need to start stocking up on these decor items. Quite a few of them are for their holiday collection, but I think they work all year round!




1. Candle Holder: $17.99
2. Gold Tray: $15.99
3. Fur Blanket: $34.99
4.Dipped Bowls: $2.99

Right now is really the BEST time to buy home decor items at Target. You get 15% off if you spend over $75.00 and FREE SHIPPING! Plus, if you have a red card, that is an additional 5% off! That makes those ottoman just over $80.00! Such a great deal.

Happy Shopping!

DIY Napkin Pillow Tutorial!


It is no secret that I like to make pillows out of napkins, table cloths, curtains, etc!
When I was visiting my sister in Canada last month, we whipped out a few napkin pillows and today I am sharing a quick tutorial!


I used these napkins from World Market. Love the color and fabric. Since a set of 6 is $9.99, you can make a pillow case with these napkins for just $5.00!
I am no good with zippers, so this tutorial is for a flap-back pillow case.






Super super simple. If you can sew a straight line, you can do this!
They turned out pretty great too.


It's hard to complain about a $5.00 pillow right? (oh and ignore the random threads, a true sign of a freshly sewn pillow!)



I am also eyeing a few napkins right now. The are practically begging to me made into pillows.

DIY Oversized Photography Art!


I have been wanting an oversized photograph for my living room for a while now.
I would love to get my hands on a piece by Gray Malin but it just isn't in the budget.

Luckily I own a starter SLR camera and decided to give it a shot (no pun intended!).
I headed down to Laguna Beach and pretended I knew what I was doing. 
With a little editing (thanks iPhoto) I managed to get a few frame worthy shots.
If I can do this, anyone can!


I printed it at Art.com when they were having a 50% off sale a few weeks back.
Their sales happen often, so just keep checking back and you are bound to get a deal.

I knew I wanted to use this Ikea Frame, you just can't beat the price for such a large size! ($24.99)


I also wanted the photograph to be as large as possible so removing the mat was a must.
I selected the 30" x 40" printing size (originally $45.99) and trimmed a few inches off the edges to fit the Ribba frame.


The large printed photograph cost $23.00 and the white frame $25.00, making the total only $48.00!


I am really happy with how it turned out.



What do you think? 
Would you willing to give this a try?

My New Target Side Table!


I have already shared my love for Target's Gold & White Collection.
Before I left for my trip to Canada my gold accent table arrived.



 I really liked it in the store, but boy I feel in love once I got it home.
Not only does it add the perfect touch of gold, it is also SO SO SO kid friendly.




It is practically a gold metal drum and my kids LOVE it.
A kid friendly table that I like too...talk about a win win.


It is currently on sale for only $48.00!
Such a great price for an awesome piece.

My Heart.


Has it really been 10 days since I posted last? Oh my.
I have sure been missing this little blog of mine.

Last week my sweet Grandpa passed away at the young age of 92. I was able to fly back to Canada to attend the funeral and celebrate his life. He was such an amazing man.

Yesterday, I received the photos from my kids photoshoot with Breanne Larson Photography.
I am in love. 

Breanne captured my kids personalities perfectly, and frankly, I have no clue how she managed to get so many cute shots. Theo does not stop moving. I also managed to jump in a few shots too, and I will cherish these forever!













If you are located in Orange County California, I highly recommend using Breanne Larson Photography! She is currently running a fall special, $250.00 for a full session (20-25 images) or $150.00 for a mini session (10-12 images). Limited spots available. 
Such a great price! 

You can contact Breanne here and follow her on Instagram here!

What do you think, so cute or what?
