target clearance.

Let's be real.

I have made MANY impulse purchases of items from Target that happen to be clearanced.

Usually, those little clearance tags with the red outline call to me from the aisles.

​"Look at this amazing throw pillow that needs to be on my couch!"

"Ooooo...an aqua- and coral-colored organizational basket!"

"Matching clothes for the girls!"
This time, though...the clearance called me from my email.

When I saw this cute little cabinet come up on my computer screen.

The one on my computer was actually red...and it was adorable.  I thought it would fit perfectly in my teal & red farmhouse kitchen.

But it was $120...even on sale.  Mr. Banana Split Yellow cabinet was a nice $89.

So I made my first ONLINE clearance impulse purchase at Target.com.

It came in a nice big box and sat in the living room for a few days.

Then one night, Mr. Farmhouse got home early from checking cows and I said, "Hey, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure."

"Can you put something together for me?"

(sigh) "What's that?"

And in that moment, I revealed my amazing clearance purchase of this adorable yellow cabinet for the kitchen.

Mr. Farmhouse was not impressed.

In fact, I think "the ugliest color of yellow I've ever seen" was inserted somewhere in the conversation.

​But he loves me.

And so...he put it together.

And moved it into the kitchen for me.

And then he seemed to have an opinion about where the "ugliest color of yellow" cutesy shelf should be placed in the kitchen.

He thought it should be flat along the wall, about two inches over the trim.

I thought it should be placed at an angle to make it look more centered.
So I took it to the Facebook world and posted it on the Farmhouse654 Facebook page.

By an overwhelming majority, the "angled" folks won.  

Although the "what if stuff falls behind the cabinet?" folks did have a good point.

​However, just like we have been very intentional about the space on top of the coffee bar, we will be intentional about this space too.
Picture
The top of the yellow cabinet will be used for our bread basket and a box of Kleenex.

That's it.
​
I used a few more $6.00 Dollar General baskets in the bottom of the cabinet for some small appliances, like my blender & mixer.


I'll add another one of those baskets to the top shelf in-between my favorite cookbooks and my favorite coffee mugs for potatoes and that will be all!

It's visible, yet organized.

​Functional, yet stylish.

Banana Split Yellow, yet adorable.

Happy Almost Weekend, friends.  ❤️🏡❤️
