Custom Target Furniture

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was browsing Target.com when I saw they have introduced custom furniture.  What the what?  Go ahead then Target.  You mean I can get the same affordable pieces but with the fabric of my choice?  Count me in.  I began to look at the various pieces in their customizable collection.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love the shape and lines of this <a href="http://www.target.com/p/custom-upholstered-contemporary-bench/-/A-15186744#prodSlot=medium_1_4" target="_blank">bench</a>.  With a little fabric, it goes to a whole new level.  The price tag starts at $220 so still not sure it's worth the extra money for me to get a custom fabric.  It would be an easy DIY to buy a standard bench and re-cover it yourself.</span><br /><br /><div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"><div style="position: relative;"><img alt="bench" border="0" height="439" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/RMk2IGojz8oCdRoJjdv7w/cid/116652985/id/oJNCk9qu4xGRwwHS6xSULw/size/c600x439.jpg" title="bench" width="600" /></div></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love the size and shape of this <a href="http://www.target.com/p/custom-upholstered-arm-chair/-/A-15185406#prodSlot=medium_1_18" target="_blank">chair</a>.  The price tag of this one starts at $450.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br /><div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"><div style="position: relative;"><img alt="chairs" border="0" height="486" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/E5y7ffyQoKVeQvTDOMlvKg/cid/116653601/id/cPWfdtuu4xGGkTx5DXURzQ/size/c600x486.jpg" title="chairs" width="600" /></div></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I don't know how long I've wanted an upholstered headboard.  I will have one some day.  Sooner rather than later.  This <a href="http://www.target.com/p/custom-upholstered-tufted-wingback-headboard/-/A-15194747#prodSlot=medium_1_28" target="_blank">one</a> makes me drool.  This piece starts at $700.  I'm sure I could DIY one for much cheaper.</span><br /><br /><div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;"><div style="position: relative;"><img alt="headboard" border="0" height="492" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/epXUBrm1Z0lH1dvQA1Bqg/cid/116654718/id/9OCRGN2u4xGzxQjg6xSULw/size/c600x492.jpg" title="headboard" width="600" /></div></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Although I love the idea of customizing my furniture pieces to fit my style and home, I don't think the price tags are for me.  I'm more of a do-it-myself kind of girl now.  These prices are still lower than pieces you would expect to find at West Elm or Crate Barrel though.  I guess Target is trying to step their game up a little.  </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What do you think about Target introducing this option?  Would you try it out?</span><br /><br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/316/0CB760E2AD1EF5DEC1BEB8DD6026223F.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0px none ! important;" />
