RIGHT ON, TARGET!

I'm not sure when or where I started liking targets as artwork.  Maybe it was this store photo I pinned on Pinterest.  I recall loving the look and vowing to sell something similar in RedBird. 

Perhaps I spied my first target-as-art in the way cool Austin, Texas house of Roger Hazard, formerly on TV's "Sell This House".  He has started a new furniture company, Decades. He mentioned on his blog that they were going to reproduce their gigantic target and sell said-same!

I searched for targets on Pinterest just this morning (if you don't "pin", you don't know what you're missing!), and I found this photo of a gallery wall of just targets!  I couldn't love anything more! 

Within moments of spying that wall o' targets, I found myself on etsy, buying this vintage target that I'd seen on a few days ago!  What's not to love?  It's old and has terrific patina and is in my colors! 

I plan to display my cool, new/old target on my art ledges, where it will complement my other graphic groovies, like that old ice card and the GOOD plate (designed by Diane Keaton!)  My plans are to include one of RedBird's own framed targets.  Which one should I choose?  I'm leaning toward the round one.  What are your thoughts?  Would you include a target in your decor?
