Jen Coleman and Laura Wiertzema might not be Target employees, but they may just be the ultimate authorities on the store. New skin-care collections, half-off swimwear, adorable cacti plates—the expert browsers and founders of Ascot & Hart have spent the past six years meticulously documenting their most exciting discoveries on their beloved account, @targetdoesitagain. “The great thing about Target is you walk in to buy milk and pass by so many amazing things you never knew you needed along the way,” says Wiertzema.

Unsurprisingly, the duo’s ever-growing archive of “amazing things” includes plenty of gems from the home department. Topping their all-time favorites list? White Eames-inspired dining chairs, neon stools from 2013, and a black outdoor lounge set they spotted three years ago. “We’ve come to realize that not all Targets are created equal,” admits Coleman. “What’s nice about us living in different cities is we can see what’s to come if it hits a different store first.”

But Coleman and Wiertzema don’t just have a thing for out-of-stock chairs (or in-store-only purchases, for that matter). The two pro shoppers dished on the Target home finds they’re loving right now, and you can scoop up all nine online.
