Target Thursday: Barstools

I'm excited to announce my new weeklyblog series called "Target Thursday." I'm a huge fan of the Target store and this will be my chance to highlight a new collection every week. This week Target has their furniture up to 25% off so I'm focusing on Barstools. Barstools can add something fun and unique to a Kitchen space whether its a fun bright color or an interesting style. There are so many to choose from, but here's a few that caught my eye in varying colors and styles. Many of these are available in additional colors and finishes.

Farmhouse Style Bedroom

The Farmhouse Style is really popular right now, thanks in part to  HGTV's hit show "Fixer Upper." I'm married to a 4th Generation farmer, so I think the Farmhouse Style speaks to me and brings back a lot of memories of my Great Grandma's old farmhouse. She had so many antique and vintage items that had stories tied to them. This style speaks to me because it reminds me of my families past, the hard work and dedication to bring us where we are today in the Farming Industry. My husband and I too built our home a few years ago in the corner of the family farm, to continue the farming tradition and teach our children the value of hard work that goes along with it. The Farmhouse Style reminds me of how the women in my family line decorated and designed their homes. As the song goes "Blame it All On My Roots" 

This is an E-Design I created using the Birch Lane Website. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Industrial Living Room

I designed this Living Room using Target's "Industrial Home" Collection. I love the vintage feel this style creates, and the mix of both brown and gray hues. The metal application brings a sense of stability and sturdiness, and the throw pillows add some fun to the space as well.
