At the beginning of the summer, I had seen these vintage shooting targets at the Brooklyn Flea. Making a mental note, I really liked them, but wasn’t quite sure how they’d fit into the decor. I hadn’t seen them again all summer, until last weekend, and I jumped, absence having made my heart grow fonder, and desperate. Now I have a raccoon target, still unsure of its new home.
I am testing it out on the designated wallpaper wall in the kitchen, and I sort of love it. The red chinoiserie wallpaper had been universally rejected on that wall by my design council, so I’m open to new possibilities. The target has a demented old-timey sensibility that goes with the rest of my apartment; the faded ivory paper compliments the color of the vintage cabinet. One seems a little lonely on the wall, so I’m thinking of a few more displayed salon style for a critter shooting gallery, especially now that I know that I can get them from the vendor online.
