With baby on the way, nesting has set in and it is not just the nursery that is benefiting from it. We've finally updated our bedroom and some other spaces in our home. While I tend to buy bigger items (like furniture) from other places, Target is our go-to for the little details. All nine of these are in my home (some multiple times) and are classic pieces for the house! I wanted to share them with you this Thursday Links because I always get asked about these items in photos - the floating ... continue reading...
