The starburst doily

Wednesday, March 24, 2010


I have nicknamed this wall hanging my starburst doily because it reminds me a little of each, don't you think?

I think it will look lovely hanging. I had a couple of ideas of perhaps fixing a small convex mirror in the middle or turning it into a clock (if only I knew how) but I like the way it looks as is.

Wall hanging: Target. On sale.

  3. I was so tempted to buy this but it wasn't the right dimensions for my narrow hallway wall so I got the overlapping squares mirror instead (which I'm currently in the middle of painting white). It's quite stunning in person, isn't it?

  10. I love it! It would look great as a clock as well, but I like it as is. I can't wait to see it up on your wall.

  11. That's from TARGET?! Don't get me wrong, I'm a Tar-jay freak, but that is just so gorgeous and so expensive looking. I love it!

  13. I was tempted to buy this when I saw it in a catalogue a few weeks back, it would be perfect to (mis)match with the wall hangings I bought for out on our deck. I love your ideas for turning it into a mirror or clock - you should do it!

  14. i don't remember how i was linked to your blog, but i alway love reading your entries! i love target's home decor. can i ask where the blue floral cushion is from? lovely!

  15. Catherine - what a shame! It is lovely in person. I can imagine it looking good against a wallpapered wall with bits of the design peeking through.

    mk - I have it hanging in the living room at the moment.

    Sarah & howaboutcookie - the cushion is florence broadhurst brought from Signature Prints: www.signatureprints.com.au

  16. Lovely! I am sure wherever you put it in your magnificent home, it will look amazing. I really like the idea of putting it against a wallpapered wall! Are you going with the blue paper you previously posted on! Exciting!!

  21. I purchased one of these a few months ago....unfortunatly my husband hates my 'doily' with a passion so it's hanging in our rear hallway....instead of our bedroom where it was intended!

  22. I looooved this starburst and decided i would brave target and look for one today... i ducked in .. little hope of there being one left.. and.. they DID have them.. and on sale $8.99 when i got to the register... i also bought a square piece for $13.20... I couldn't pass them up! Thank you so much for sharing your purchase!

  23. I just came accross your blog yesterday. What a lovely home you have made. I especially love this piece. Obviously, it's no longer available at Target, but I really do need it, lol. I love the name you've given it, but do you remember what Target called it? I'd like to search eBay and the rest of the web high and low. I'm kind of obsessive like that.
