TARGET We all saw this one coming . Target is the suburbs fancy version of a Trader Joe ’ s meets K-Mart and none of us are mad at it . This spot will never get old , especially since it is always creating new store brands ! Wondershop , Threshold , Hearth & Hand and more are exclusively Target owned and certainly keep us visiting every chance us decor-crazers get . One of my own Target secrets ( although this may not be much of one if you already know ) is to always check out their “ dollar section ” located near the entrance . It may appear to be a hurricane of mix & match items , but if you look , they include adorable items for so cheap . Think office supplies , outdoor decor , pottery and even letter boards .
MICHAEL ’ S Not only can you buy supplies to create what they offer here , but you can purchase eye catching , artsy decor that ’ s almost always marked down . Michael ’ s is the bee ’ s knees for random discounts ( i . e . spring black friday , anyone ?) and making it known that they have them too ( just ask their cashiers during checkout !). Recently , I bought a basket full of artificial flowers at my local Michael ’ s , all for 40 % off . With them I created spring wreaths and added hues of oranges , pinks and yellows all over my living space . My rule of thumb for when visiting : Plan ahead . You don ’ t want to go here without an idea of what you want / want to create . Things can easily get out of hand and sooner than later you ’ ll be walking out with pipe cleaners , beads , paint and candy that you don ’ t know why you have .
AMAZON Amazon has become a go-to for me , especially when I need something in a jiffy . It ’ s much more than just an e-retailer that you can order toilet paper or cat food from and have it delivered the next day if you ’ re in a hump . Amazon has a plethora of one-of-a-kind , quirky items that can make your home feel as unique as you . I enjoy constantly searching to find “ the one ” to add to my home knowing that I can have it at my doorstep same-week . It ’ s exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time , but that ’ s what I like to call the thrill of the hunt . Check out their “ Amazon Explore ” page usually highlighted at the top of their home page . It includes a lot of interesting items gathered from your recent searches you may have never thought to see .
