Successful Shopping Trip

So today me and Austin set out for the following:

• Target: for 4 euro pillows; wanted to see if they had them before we went to West Elm.
• West Elm: to use our $75 in cards before they expire.
• Ikea: to see some of the things online i'd been loving. In other words - to see if I loved them as much in person and if Austin loved them too!

We went to Target first - walked away with four Euro pillows for $10 each - woo! Had a gift card so $0 spent.

Went to West Elm next. Walked around. Fretted. Couldn't find anything we liked for the right price. Finally settled on two brown matted frames for $44 each (not a good deal but free, right?) We went to the front and they were sold out. Then they tell us about this deal on chairs - 50% off the display chairs on the floor. By this time, there's not many to choose from and we really liked two of them. They retailed for $300 and $200. They were on sale for $120 and $80. We told the guy we'd take them both if he'd do $150. He said sure and we got them both for $87 after our $75 cards - YAY! We got the car, drove it to customer pick-up and are now the proud owners of these:

We didn't get a cushion for the one on the left (they were $40... more than we ended up spending on the chair), but I figure it's a pretty standard size seat so i'll find one somewhere else. I'm thinking we'll use it in a guest room or as an accent in Austin's office. For the chair on the right, we think it's perfect for the built-in desk in the kitchen. Either way - we're PRETTY pumped about our new purchases. I'm so glad you and Dev are proud, Mom! Can't wait for you guys' help with decorating!
