Harl3y's Profile

The website is up and running now, but most of the items are now out of stock. I don't think those are coming back. I think they're more "sold out." Does anyone know if Target plans to replenish this collection or is it "when it's gone, it's gone?"

The coffee table is Nelson Platform Bench. You can get the original at Room and Board and Design Within Reach. Knock off are all over the place. The authentic ones are made in USA and solid wood. The knockoff are probably made in China and laminate.

CB2: Credenza, Newspaper artwork, Red arc lamp, Chartreuse rocker, Iron side table, etc.

Ikea: Bedroom art, floor lamp, Malm side tables.

Which one did you end up getting, Julia? I feel guilty supporting the knock off manufacturers. I want stuff made here or the original designer benefitting, but they're just too expensive.

I had a favorite house that I used to pass by on the way to work. Then on that house on a cold Christmas day, a mother and daughter was murdered by the mother's boyfriend. That house has since been demolished and a new bigger house was constructed on it. For years that house sat empty. The price kept on going down. Just as the sign would disappear (an indication that it was sold) it soon went back in the market. I happen to believe in ghosts and I swear there's an erie feeling about the house. We attempted to go to an open house, but later find out the realtor didn't even stay so we never got to see it. Odd! Neighborhood houses cost in the upwards of $750,000 and this house was being auctioned at $275,000 but nobody was biting. Mind you this wasn't the same house of the murders, it was brand spanking new. Last I checked the house has since sold, but it took a very very long time. Certain houses have a feel. If you are purchasing a home and it doesn't feel right, just walk away. If for some reason there's some negative energy in it, it will be hard to get rid of and whatever you do it will always be the house with the suicide incident. It will be harder to sell later. In this buyer's market you have plenty of inventory to choose from. Get something free and clear. When I visit family I will pass by that house again to see if it is still occupied.

So I guess when you drop your change, particularly pennies, all you can do is raise your arms at a loss huh?
