Can it be a "fresh" color combo if it was featured in a magazine that ceased publishing in 2009?

T-town did a terrible job merchandising this collection.

I couldn't find half of the items at one store, even though the website indicated they were in stock. The employees were clueless as to what the collection even was.

At a second store, all of the decor pieces were squeezed onto one little endcap in the middle of the home section.

This is supposed to be a long term collaboration like the Michael Graves collection before it. If Target wants to sell this line, it needs to drastically re-think its in-store presentation.


What's in Store:
The Nate Berkus Collection at Target Target Home

Thank you SO MUCH for this post.

I have a client who was telling me how her best friend did not agree with many of my choices. I had to explain (several times) how her friend is not my client, knows nothing of my decision-making process and will not be living in the space I design.

@Griffin Actually, what we designers find is that the customer is often greatly misinformed. And decorating TV shows do nothing to properly inform the public as to how much projects cost or what an interior designer actually does.

Have a good seamstress sew ribbon or strips of fabric on hemp or rough linen.
