Budget Home: Keep Calm and Carry On Decor at Target


Budget Home: Keep Calm and Carry On Decor at Target

You'd be hard pressed to look at any modern decorating magazine or blog without seeing at least one "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster. According to Wikipedia.org, this popular phrase was originally a propaganda poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, but it was never used. The phrase was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products from fridge magnets to bed spreads. Now, Target has jumped on the Keep Calm and Carry On bandwagon with a series of affordable home decor items that feature the phrase, including pillows, a tray and wall art. I spotted these lovely items during a recent trip and just had to share! You can buy similar items on etsy.com, too. Prices range from $14.99 for the wall hanging and the trays, to $19.99 for the throw pillows. More photos after the jump!

That SERIOUSLY needs to be my new mantra. Next time I'm in the States, I'll have to pick some of that stuff up. Thanks BB!

(though I'll pass on the snack tray... that would only encourage binging in my house haha)

I just ordered a Keep Calm and Carry On skin/cover for my iPad. I haven't seen these in my Target yet but I will definitely buy one.
