Target Pillows: Purloined: a house log

You heard it here first. “Purloined” is the new “snagged.” Simply kidding. I am simply being weird. John did not even know what it meant when he walked by and saw the title. “What the.. purloined?… are you sure that is a word?” was his exact response. Which is exactly what I am going for. Not. Yes, I am bringing back “not” too. I am in a strange mood. Anyway, we are still working on a few distinct projects today (details soon!), but we figured we’d pop in and share what we lately snagged purloined at Tar-hay (btw, Tar-hay is the new Tar-jay):

Ok, so purloined might mean “get by any means necessary” or “steal” – but we paid for them like good law abiding citizens. I could not pass up these patterned gray velvet pillows for Karl. At $24 a pop (well, plus 5% off that since I used my trusty Tar-hay card) they are not insanely low-cost (like my $2.50 pillow from Bed Bath & Beyond) but they are pleasant and big (around 18″). And the velvety texture and pattern feel a lot more high end than the usual big-box store purchase (nothing piddly and low-cost looking will do for our new family member sectional). So I choose to think of them as around $75 cheaper than the big textured ones I drool over at places like Restoration Hardware or Williams Sonoma Home. Glass half full, style.

Of course we will add in some serious color too with some other pillows, art, curtains- etc. Do not want a big gray room with nothing but a gray sectional and gray pillows. The reason I liked the textured gray tone on tone look was because I thought they would layer in with other pops of colors and even other more obvious high-contrast prints for something that is not too crazy but simply interesting sufficient. Cannot wait to see them sitting on The American Dream when it arrives (yes that is Karl’s other nickname). If not we will simply return them. No harm, no fowl.

Psst: “No harm, no fowl” is the new “no harm, no foul.” Spread the word.

Psssst: Did I mention I am in a weird mood?
