Here are new Target finds for your home to give it a fresh appeal without spending a ton of money. You can do little things now that will carry you through the holidays. Recently, I went to Target to get a new shower curtain liner for the guest bathroom and also picked up a black and white rug.

That’s one easy refresh, but I was struck by some other cool products that can update your home’s look.

A Front Door Refresh
I’m sure you’ve noticed the trend of placing accent rugs under doormats (I’ve been doing it for us and for clients for a while now). Doormats can get a lot of abuse…but replacing them is easy and affordable with Target.
The Bienvenue doormat and preserved real boxwood wreath are also from my recent trip to Target. I’ve seen similar boxwood wreaths for a lot more money. This can also be adapted for Christmas just by adding a ribbon and ornament or two.

It’s good to have a terrifying guard dog like Chief in the city! Plus he matches the black and white theme. 🙂
Here are some classic front door combinations. My sister has that eucalyptus wreath. We bought it a few years ago and it still looks good.

Kitchen Counter Refresh
If you are like us, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen… having a pretty but uncluttered counter display makes it nice. Love that sponge caddy.
We’ve had a French covered butter dish like this one for years…makes it convenient to have soft butter on the counter for toast. And who doesn’t need a fresh dishtowel?

It’s nice to keep tomatoes out in a pretty bowl like this wooden one so that they ripen. Also, having an attractive paper towel holder makes it ok to leave it out on the counter.

Dining Table Refresh
These are all things that I love. I’m thinking I would like the black salad plates as an update to add with my white ones and those glazed stoneware white plates by Hearth and Hand are cool. The good thing is that these items are unseasonal, so good all year round. You could just add a bowl of pumpkins for the Fall or pinecones for the Winter.
Don’t you love having candlelight to make everyday dining ambient? These Beeswax Blend Taper Candles Set of 2 from Hearth & Hand come in two sizes.

I love some texture on a table…and you can get it with the round wicker placemat. Also, since we eat so many salads, the tongs make them more stylish to serve!

Those are new Target Finds for your home. See anything you could use 🙂

I love it all! Target is a dangerous place, haha.
Love the black and white theme. Chief is so cute as accessory-my grand dog is a little Boston so I have a soft spot for them.
Like Kim mentioned, I only learned about target when my son went off to college in Boulder. We loaded a cart to its max and I was shocked at how little the cost was for microwave and much more. They’ve only gotten better since. Thanks for sharing your finds!
These are great finds everyone has a need for. Love that preserved boxwood wreath. I love that you can use them from year to year and they are real not faux! Great post! Always love your Target finds.
As a visual merchandiser for Target, I can indeed attest to the bare shelves. My job as of late is to make things look as full as possible, while dealing with product that has been FLYING off the shelves, and also, because much of the home decor is made in either China/India/Vietnam, the disruption of the supply chain has been rather brutal due to Covid. I too think that much of the product is indeed amazing. The Studio McGee product in particular has found it’s way into my online cart more often than i care to admit!
I figured Covid was the culprit. With delays everywhere not just Target. Thanks for commenting. I was afraid you were going to reprimand me for a little impromptu styling as the table and chair were empty to start. 🙂
I only wish you were doing that at my East Coast store. Every vignette made is usually destroyed by days end, lol.
Well…seems like fun putting it back together!
I CAN SEE YOU IN TARGET RE-ARRANGING THEIR DISPLAY!!!!
LOOKS GOOD!
THEY SHOULD HIRE YOU!!!

Target has some of the best autumn ideas. Thanks for the update, I haven’t been to our Target as often as I usually am.
xo,
Karen
Me either, Karen!
Clearly, I need to make a Target run!! No plans for us. We are still in semi hunker down mode. Happy Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day to you Linda!
Hmmm….my comment was deleted as well…
Yes you are so lucky, Anne. My sister’s Target is near Black Mountain? Anyway, North San Diego and it’s fairly new. When it was brand new it was amazing.
Love Target and the new Studio McGee line! Thanks for sharing the new fall items. I live in Encinitas (San Diego) and we are lucky that our store has plenty in the home section!
That view out your window looks like a pretty painting !!
Sorry, Anne, I think if you are a first time commenter it holds it for approval.
I am in love with the Arched Brass mirror by Magnolia at Target. I can’t wait to purchase it when it’s in stock. It will add just a touch of that brass color, that’s in right now, to my fireplace mantel.
I need to check it out!
Hmm, curious. I posted a comment that the home decor section at my Target near Buffalo, NY is mostly bare shelves and the comment was deleted.
That’s weird as I responded to you, Carol that ours up here are sort of bare but better in San Diego. I will look into it.
I still show the comment?
I haven’t been to a real store since the second week in March and I don’t intend to until there is a safe vaccine. I’ll be 71 in October and there is simply nothing I am dying to buy. The University in our city has just started back and the Covid-19 cases have soared exponentially. Who would thought college students would obey rules? My new “window shopping” is online and fun curated blogs like yours. Thanks for the diversion and the eye candy.
I’m glad you are being safe!
Mary Ann, Your 2 minute styling is incredible and the cube feels fall cozy in your home. I’m inspired to treat myself to one.
Because of the wet spring and warm summer at our home on Camano Island, WA , our small family orchard is giving us an amazing harvest. So, the holiday will find us drying plums, canning oven roasted applesauce, and freezing apple pie.
Warmly,
Diney
What a wonderful weekend, Diane!
Always excited to see you made it into my busy inbox! You’re so cute. And then there’s Target to boot! Thank you for keeping us supplied with such a nice variety of posts. I always love looking out your SF window! Just a thought…maybe have followers share their 5 Favs?
That is a great idea! I sometimes ask readers. What are yours, Colleen?
I like your choices. Target is a fun place to shop.
Hi Mary Ann,
Nice post, such pretty items! I especially like that blanket stitched pillow. I’ve always been a fan of Target’s home decor. They’ve done a nice job of introducing designers to the general population, with affordable items that are nicely priced and decent quality.
Empty shelves might be indicative of everyone hunkering down, and trying to make home as comfortable and pleasant as possible during the SIP orders. I shouldn’t buy one more thing, but I’m always looking!
Hope you have a nice weekend, no plans here just more of the same. Our beaches will be closed so our morning walks will need to be relocated temporarily. With the fires there’s really no better place to be than at the beach. Oh well, there’s always next week!
Xo Heidi
You have really had a rough go, Heidi, with the fires. Take care!
In my Target store in a suburb of Buffalo, NY the shelves were almost bare in the home decor department. I’m wondering if other towns are experiencing this too?
Yes, I think so as there wasn’t much in my local Target in Emeryville. But the San Diego Target was better.
Very nice cheerful post, Mary Ann!
I LOVE Target. It is my favorite store in the USA. And Internet shopping {sigh}
Continued summery days here in Umbria; vegetable garden still providing.
Our friends who lived in England for many years…when they came back to the US, Target was one of their first stops 🙂 I’d love to be in Umbria right now!
We would love to have you!!
Mary Ann, Cute choices. Target has been doing such a great job on decor this year. I cannot go without buying a few new things. The Magnolia collaboration has been getting better too with their cute dishes and towels. I love their black flatware. I went to the Target in Utah while moving my son into college and they have a lot more space and displays there than here! I wish I wan’t flying home I would have bought more. The duvet covers you have here from Nate were on the beds on my Tahoe rental and I’m thinking of getting them for my boy’s rooms. The quality is excellent. Hope you’re good and had a nice getaway. xo
Yes…I saw that cute flatware, Kim. We need to get together for your birthday!
