I Get Into Trouble at Home Goods...

After declaring that I was not going to spend money the other day...I went and found some furniture I liked. They were both "impulse" purchases, but they were items that I have been on the lookout for. So technically, they were well-thought-out impulse purchases. :)

I found a side table for the basement at Target. I can't find a picture online, so I'll have to take one later. This is the second table I have gotten from Target that I got a deal on because there was a minor scratch on it. I personally like a table with a little "character", so bring on the discount!

The second piece of furniture I found was a chest/trunk type piece for the foot of the guest bed. Our guest bedroom is really tiny, so I knew I didn't want to get a dresser for that room. Plus, we haven't had any long-term guests who would really need a dresser. I thought a chest would look great, would give extra storage space for blankets, and would also provide a place for someone to put their bags on. The piece I found was a bit more $ than I was planning to spend, but I loved it and thought it would be perfect in the space. Plus Gil okayed it. :)


I had been looking for ideas on Pinterest for what type of trunk I would like in this room. The item I bought doesn't look anything like these examples, but it does have that same old, weathered feel.

Because this room is so little, it's pretty much impossible to photograph it well. But here is the new addition:

It has a worn and weathered look to it that I love. 

A little closer shot:

Love it!

This room still needs pictures on the walls and curtains on the window, but it's definitely almost done!
