I love it, because I just got a housefull of good stuff/awesome sh!t.

I hate it, because I am now 500 bucks poorer :p

It's the clearance isles man - they suck you in, and MAKE you buy stuff! They told me they'd beatup my mom if I didn't buy their stuff :(

Here's some of the stuff I bought :)

Ikea is worlds worse for the same reason.

"Sure, I may not absolutely need another basket/deskpad/easel but it's only 15 bucks!"
Repeat x 50

Exactly! Everything I bought was under 20 bucks each - most of it was half off :eek:

How do you spend $500 at Target on items under $20 each?!

Care to post a list of what you bought?

That does look nice. If I can offer a suggestion. Try those pictures over the TV, side by side. That is a very big blank wall behind the TV. You already have the two tall end cabinets, they are enough of an anchor by themselves. Try the pictures over the TV.
Just a thought. My $0.02 worth. :)

Thanks - that's a good idea :). I have some old Turkish antiques that my parents gave me - I was thinking about mounting something small inbetween the pictures too. Hmmm - more projects for my other day off :p
