Bookcases! Grr!

Barstools and bookcases - why is this so hard???

I know exactly what I want!  But I can't find either easily!  I want a couple of barstools that are cute, comfy and cheap for the island in the kitchen.  I don't want to spend $150 each on them!  That's insane!  

And I want three freakin' bookcases for the kitchen and cozy area that are 8'ish feet tall and are cherry colored.  And I'd like a couple for the parlor that are 36 inches tall, in an oak'ish color.

Is that so stinkin' hard?!?

It's been impossible to find anything!  All the stools I like are way overpriced, and I refuse to pay that much for 4 spindles and a flat chunk of wood!  And bookcases - they're all frilly and ornate!  Wrong!

But today .. it was like the JACKPOT!!

I found clearancd stools at Pier 1 (heaven bless the end of the season!) that were about 1/2 price - both will cost about $160!  That's what I was finding one to cost everywhere else!  A deal .. at Pier 1!  Crazy!  And Target has some great bookcases that are meant to be placed side by side and mix-matched.  We could put 1 8 foot with 2 6 footer's, or 2 3 footer's with 2 8 footer's!  The sky's the limit, but I'm totally happy with two 8 foot shelves on either side of the big opening into the living room, and a couple 3 footer's for the office!!  Yeah!

I'm not choosy or picky .. I just want what I want!

My barstool and bookcase scouts .. tiring in the great search at Target!
Carter got the honors of toting the bread, but soon gave up and passed her groceries off to Daddy!

   WINNERS!  The bookcases that will fill our house!  A couple talls and a couple smalls!  Yeah!
