Wishful Thinking at Target

I ran into Target the other day for a few odds and ends and like normal, I couldn't help perusing the home aisles to see what was shakin'. In hopes that they would have some great new stuff out, I brought my camera with me.

And since the seasons are a changing (waaaaaahhhhhhh!), I'm on the look out for new accessories to decorate for fall/winter. Here's some things I spotted that I really liked (but did not buy):

I really, really, really love throw pillows. (At one point when we lived in a one bedroom condo right after we got married, P actually had to forbid me from buying anymore until we got a bigger place. Hello! Bigger place now!) I mean, can you blame me? They're relatively cheap, they add texture, color, and pattern to a space. By switching up just your throw pillows, you can majorly change a room.

Loved these cool grey plaid pillows (they came in black too). They've that got that great wool-old man-pants-fabric vibe that has made its way into fall fashion and decor over the last few years. They would look so good in my family room:)

And so would these lovely sweater pillows, in either grey or white...this soft cable knit is another material that would bring warmth and coziness to a space. Makes you want to have a fire and a mug of hot chocolate, no?!

These oversized herring-bone pillows in ivory and brown would totally work in my living room...or maybe even our master bedroom.

I found these 2 framed sepia maps (one of London and one of Paris) that I thought were pretty cool (not in love the frame itself, but that can be fixed). I've wanted to do a project with maps for awhile now (add that to the list), so seeing these kind rekindled that idea for me.

I usually take a spin through the bedding aisles to check out the throw pillows there too. This time I stumbled randomly across this really pretty toile "quilt". It's sort of monochromatic in cream and an olivey green/brown. I'm not on the hunt for bedding, but this could look nice as a fall update in our guest room.

I always venture into the Smith and Hawken aisle (in our Target its near the front, close to the stationery and greeting cards) to see what fun garden or natural stuff they have out. I loved these distressed off-white stoneware pieces. Sort of rustic and farmhouse...they say fall and winter to me:)

{Stoneware Candlestick...$4.99?}

I was also drawn to this large metal wire basket...I know I've seen similiar flea market and yard sale finds around blogland lately. Since good looking storage is such a must these days, I like the variety these would bring..something different from woven baskets and paper boxes.

So, there you have it. What I would have bought at Target to help update our home for the new season if I had a few extra hundred dollars lying around! Anyone snag any good deals at Target recently? I'm going to pull out alot of my fall stuff from last year soon, but its always fun to add a little bit more/extra each year. Do you guys do this?
