Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
Santa's toy workshop at the North Pole.
The Pottery Barn outlet store.
I'm not sure about you, but gorgeous furniture and home decor being sold at a discount is totally up my alley. Especially when it's set up warehouse style with aisles and aisles and aisles for me to walk around, drooling. And, lucky me, I got to visit the north Georgia outlets over the weekend and entered the dream land some like to call the Pottery Barn store. Check out some of the goods I found along the PB aisles (pardon the not-so-hot iPhone pics)!
Those blue pillows asked if they could come live on my sofa.
Faux braided lampshade? Suhweet.
I love lamp. Like, a lot.
I can just see this covered in something bright and floral....
She realllly wanted to come home to my office!
But even at half price, she was $350ish, a bit over the budget.
My dining room table has a crush on this chair.
One of each, puhlease.
Too. Adorable. For. Words.
This could be fabulous in someone's bathroom reno.
Did I say I only love white bedding? I lied.
Preeeetty.
Oh hey, multi-colored frames. Jump into my shopping cart. Now!
$30. Enough said.
I also dropped by the Restoration Harware outlet. This store is more about browsing, as it's not exactly my style. Okay, who are we kidding? It is my style, I just can't afford it. Even at the discount price, re-dic. But I did wander around and marvel at all of the large statement pieces RH has to offer.
Guess what? You won't believe this, but I actually left both stores empty handed! It might have had something to do with the fact that I was in a hurry or maybe nothing just struck my fancy (I'm one of those buyers who sits on a purchase for a few days, then goes back). But it's true. Now I can't say the same thing for the Kate Spade, J Crew and Banana Republic stores.... ; )
Have you visited any home decor outlets lately?
It sounds like you went to the Dawsonville Outlets? I love that place! I really liked the sophia duvet you saw at Pottery Barn - I'll have to stop by and check it out!
ReplyDeleteWow! So much pretty, so little time... I bet it was fun window shopping!
ReplyDeleteHow in the WORLD did you leave empty handed! That's unheard of. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun, I love outlets!
ReplyDeleteI'm going up to Dawsonville in a few weeks, and we were hoping to find a decently priced desk at PB. Fingers crossed they have some cheaper than those file cabinets!
ReplyDeleteTheres a PB outlet near me (OH) and it is always a wonderland of gorgeousness!! Im planning on clothing outlet spree in a few weeks and I can't wait! Girl needs some new work clothes!
ReplyDeleteWow so jealous you have this near you!! And cannot believe you left without anything, I am straight up impressed!
ReplyDeleteLooooove the PB outlet...and also loved the shell bowl! Looked like fun!!

Those stores are a little slice of heaven for me, too. If only the stuff was cheaper!! Thank goodness for HomeGoods and TJMaxx!
ReplyDeletewow -- great stuff!!!! sometimes when there's tooo much good stuff, I just can't decide so I buy nothing!
ReplyDeleteoo FUN! ive never been to a pottery barn outlet.. i think it'd be dangerous tho. xoxo jillian:: stop by! i'm hosting a jewelry giveaway
ReplyDeleteawesome! love outlets - just hard hauling big stuff out of there!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a PB outlet. Might have to check on out. I often get so overwhelmed in those stores. I see everything I like but can choose anything at all.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun!!! So many pretty things...wish we had a PB outlet close by! :)
ReplyDeleteYou haaaaaaaaad to rub it in huh? ;) the $30 shell would have been MINE. Xo shel
ReplyDeleteDrooling over here! I want one of everything especially that shell bowl. Amazing price!

I worked at PB in college. You know the years where you don't have the home to furnish nor the money to do so...I did however take my parents up to TN with my employee ID and hooked them up at the outlet. Best. Daughter. Ever. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh...wish I'd known you were going girlfriend...I so would have met you up there!! Need to go check it out, haven't been in a few months.
ReplyDeleteI love outlets. So badly wish we had one here. I would take everything you posted about!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had the outlet nearby. How much were the aluminum chairs? I love those!
ReplyDeleteI'm also digging all the blues. They remind me of Sarah's Summer House porch. Loving that.
And, can I just say that I bought a dead ringer for the medicine cabinet at Home Depot. Cheap, cheap.
I am so jealous! We don't have any PB outlets near us. I wish I did!
ReplyDeleteI recently found out there is a Pottery Barn Outlet in Reading, PA - about 1 1/2 hours from here. One of these days I have to head out there. I can understand how you ended up not buying anything - sometimes it can be so overwhelming when there is such much stuff!

Love, love, love! The closest PB Outlet to me is almost two hours away and I've yet to make the trip out there. I would be so overwhelmed going there... but would try to come back with something! I am also the shopper who has to leave stuff and think about it.. even when it's something cheap at Goodwill! Ha ha! Thanks for sharing your finds. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, I haven't been up there in ages-- what am i waiting for?? Did you leave any goodies for the rest of us? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the eye candy!

aww yay. i live 5 minutes from the PBO warehouse outlet in memphis. its a little overwhelming to go on tuesday's after shipment... i kinda get weak at the knees.
ReplyDeletei love that last chair. and I'm like you..I don't like to rush and buy...if i can't get it out of my head then i know its meant to be ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe closed PB outlet to me is a couple hours away. I would love to go back. I'm glad there is someone else out there who likes to "sit on something" before making a purchase! Don't get me wrong, I can impulse shop too! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty things! I have to think a while about some things before I purchase them too!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things! Kudos for you for not spending any $$! :)
ReplyDeleteSheer nirvana! I plan to make my pilgrimage to the one in OH sometime this summer. I have been wanting to for so long. It is about 30 min north of my uncle...which means I have a "storage unit" if I find anything grand. You have such will power for not buying anything. But is truly a sea of loveliness. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers~

Only thing I got from this post was I love lamp. hahahaha! Kidding, I read the whole post (: And I'm shocked you didn't buy anything!! Helloooo Kate Spade outlet. I wish we had one around here. What'd you get?!
ReplyDeleteThere were lots of things I would certainly be tempted by! What willpower to walk out of there empty-handed. But sometimes you just aren't feeling it. But like you that never happens to me at J. Crew, KS, or BR! :)
ReplyDeleteThose blue pillows are calling my name!!!! So many great things! I haven't done any outlet shopping lately but now I have the itch :)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous! I want those metal chairs for my dining room!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ADORE that chair!
ReplyDeleteOh where did does this mythical place exist?
ReplyDeleteThanks to "the weird girl taking pictures of everything in the store." I'm googling a PB Outlet!
ReplyDeleteI am both drooling and jealous right now. I want to go to there....now! It takes a lot of strength to leave empty handed. I bow down.
ReplyDeleteMichelle I love the north Georgia premium outlets too! And I usually drive up just for pottery barn!
ReplyDeleteWow! I adore those shells. It's so huge. :D
