Target's Cool New York City Bodega Project

Bullseye, The Target Mascot Dog

We're way over that sarcastic thing people do when they pronounce Target with a French accent (Tar-Szay - rhymes with "day") and have come to respect the discount chain's emphasis on savvy design and fashion-forward merchandising. If you're down with Target too, don't miss the limited-time only Bullseye Bodega event taking place in a Manhattan neighborhood near you from September 12th through September 15th.

It seems Target will be opening 4 bodega-type stores to showcase 22 of it's design partners and give consumers a glimpse of some of the newer lines that haven't yet launched to generate buzz.

Designers for the home whose products will be available include:
Thomas O'Brien --
esteemed interior designer known for melding modern and vintage products


Isabelle de Borchgrave --
Belgian-born paper artist and painter


Michael Graves --
famed architect and first Target designer partner


Christiane Lemieux (DwellStudio for Target) --
textile designer who has fused modern design with luxurious details
to create collections in nursery, bedding, kitchen and tabletop


Rachel Ashwell --
interior decorator known for combining English elegance with a relaxed
California vibe


Victoria Hagan --
respected interior designer known for creating chic and timeless home decor


John Derian --
decoupage artist celebrated for quirky vintage designs.
This limited-time-only collection will be available
September 7 through October 26, 2008.


Sean Conway --
renowned garden designer known for creating outdoor spaces that bring
great design to life one stylish patio at time

The Target Bullseye Bodegas will be open from 10 am until 10 pm in the following locations:

Midtown: 101 57th Street at 6th


Union Square: 813 Broadway between 11th and 12th

Wood Flooring and Bathroom Design Ideas to Attract Buyers from Frontdoor.com

Urban Home Office by California Closets NYC

HGTV appears to have a real estate site in beta right now and its called Frontdoor.com. Most of the content appears to be geared toward consumers either looking to buy or sell a home. Obviously this isn't new ground, but the fact that HGTV is involved leads us to believe that there will be a definite slant toward interior design and home decor.

We'll keep you posted, but for starters, there's a very comprehensive piece on Frontdoor.com about design ideas that get the attention (positively) of prospective home buyers. They list 10 ideas below:

  1. A Nice Entryway
  2. Hardwood Floors
  3. Fab Fixtures
  4. Beautiful Baths
  5. Countertop Considerations
  6. Steel This Idea
  7. Pre-Organized Closets
  8. Light Up
  9. Built-In Bonus
  10. Grass Is Greener
  11. Bonus: Furnish That House!
Most of these concepts are well-known but there are some great photos on the site giving you an idea of the possibilities. In the meantime, here are some links to local professionals who can help you remodel if any of the above ideas catch your fancy:

New York Kitchen and Bath

New York Closet Organizer
