Target homogenizes home

Listened to Target’s fourth quarter call yesterday and was not surprised to hear its home business was down, again. With home performance lackluster for several quarters now, the chain is planning to edit its home skus and consolidate the category’s brand offerings this year, while at the same time ramping up consumables and pharmacy-related assortments. Disappointing. To me, Target is just homo... More

I’ve leaned on shabby chic looks with vintage fabrics, furniture and toys – and I must say, it’s worked well.   But I won’t deny th... More

Tears are falling like Domino

My mailbox mourns, for lo, no more Domino.   Now that the shelter magazine that brought modish décor within reach to the masses is gone– it is permanently shutting its doors this week — I feel adrift.   My close friend, a real estate attorney, grumbled to me yesterday. Her sentiments summed up mine, too.   “Now all we have left is Architectural Digest and Elle Décor. What do we do with that? If I... More
