More Pottery Barn Outlet Goodies!

 Copper Cord Set, Retail $49, Outlet $19.99

This time I did not pass up the lovely copper cord set.  It will find it's way into the computer room in the near future.  In addition I also purchased Pottery Barn Tab Top curtains for my master bedroom.  I was sick of the ultra sheer ones I had purchased from Target.  Although they are not black-out curtains, they do a pretty reasonable job with the blinds.  The neighbor's porch light did not keep me awake.  Plus at $35 each, I feel as if I am getting my money's worth.

What did I have to pass up this time around?  Well for starters they had three West Elm Elton Setees in the color Pine Needle.  They were less than $400 each and I have no room in my dining room.

There were also plenty of the industrial white glass pendants from West Elm.  I didn't check prices because I am out of lighting space in my house but I can promise you they were cheaper than original price and they had a TON of them.

And last but not least, there were also three of these little yellow chairs from West Elm. They were marked at $289 each and I hope someone took them home. If I had true white walls in my house, I know I sure as heck would have.

So that is that for my great finds at the Pottery Barn/ West Elm Outlet store. Of course there is more, so much more. The store is located in San Marcos, TX. I recommend you always get there right as the store opens to score a shopping cart and a good place in lie because it gets packed.  As for me, I am done with the outlet mall for a while, I can not keep shoveling crap into my house.

Pottery Barn Outlet Store Finds

This past weekend was great.  Did everything I wanted and more.  This includes going to one of my most favorite of all places, the Pottery Barn factory store which includes PB Teen, PB Kids, Williams Sonoma, Williams Sonoma Home and West Elm.  It's a very happy places with deals and not so great deals.  The big find of the day was my new rug.  Wanted an 8 x 10 in a natural color, brought one home.

Mini Pebble Wool/ Jute Rug

This handsome devil of a rug costs $599 new at West Elm.  I took it home this weekend for roughly 46% off.  It now lives happily in my living room for less than $300. 

Square Lacquered Tray

I did not get to bring home the gold version of this one.  Yes, they had one but it was also dinged up pretty good.  Instead I brought home the navy blue version.  Retailed for $29, I paid $17.  There we other items I found in the store but did not bring home due to the fact that I own too much crap.

Mia Table Lamp, Retail $129, Outlet $79.99

Copper Cord Set, Retail $49, Outlet $19.99

Mid-Century Nightstand, Retail $299, Outlet $199

Angled-Base Coffee Table, Retail $499, Outlet $299

The above I would consider to be details.  Substantial savings, enough to make you wait in line.  The following item, not so much a deal.  Saving $7 and waiting in line for 30 minutes does not make sense.

84" White Cotton Canvas Panels, Retail $29, Outlet $22.99

Last but not least there were four of these babies.  Andy did not think they were comfortable and I thought the same but more or less had a hard time passing up some eye-candy.  They all stayed there at the store for someone else to love one day.  If you live near San Marcos Outlet, please go rescue one.

Faux Fur Throw- Mongolian Lamb via West Elm

1. Went to West Elm on Friday & fell in love with the faux fur throws.  Target has a more affordable option which isn't exactly lamb fur but will for-fill your needs if $119 to over $2K is a little much.
2.  I am loving Scandinavian Christmas decor this year.  IKEA of course has a cute selection and Himmeli has taken over the DIY world.  Dalahorses are also on the LOVE list this Christmas too.
3. Advent Calenders.  Who doesn't love all the new way people are creating advent calenders.  This mirrored grey one from Target is cool, modern and affordable.

3. I love the sputnik ornaments at CB2. The acrylic snowflake ornaments are also cute and for-fill my love of lucite right now.

This lamp looks really ridiculously good in person. I saw it the other day amidst a massive overhaul at my IKEA. The cord is fabulous. The lamp is a pretty large size and I just love the white and brass. Hands down, it's one of the better looking lamps IKEA has released.

Dark Pink Curtain, thedecorista.com

1. I am loving pink curtains right now. IKEA has the Aina panels which are totally affordable for a light pink. Land of Nod has cute color blocked curtains for a more tailored look.  And then there are these ruffled pink curtains at Target if you are looking to make a statement.
2. I freaking love these Numi candle holders from CB2.  A mass collection of the on a mantel or a table would look great year round, it's just the aspect of glass weighing me down.
3. I love/ hate craigslist.org.  Look at this freaking headboard I found in Tampa, Florida- it's to freaking die for and so far away.

Vintage Pink Pillows

I consider it to be one of the luckiest days of home ownership thus far. It's the day Andy said yes to pink in the living room as an accent color. So naturally I needed pink vintage pillows. These were a deal I couldn't pass up, so the search stopped here.

Green Dining Room Inspiration+ West Elm Outlet Deals

The other night I was casually browsing through Houzz and Pinterest when I decided to test something out. I walked over to my dining room chairs and grabbed a hold of the back upholstery piece. I gave it a little tug and it moved. So I then gave it a better tug and discovered this…it’s only glued down. Well, at least I think glued down. I didn’t rip it off; I just know that it is not permanently fixed to the chair. This only means one thing; the days of beige microfiber on my dining room chairs are limited. 

Oh hell yes. 

So what color would I be choosing to upholster my dining room chairs would you image? Has to go with dark wood, my large abstract on the wall and be something which is easy to from when going into the living room. Green baby! Not just green, but freaking GREEN. I am talking bold, proud, maybe with a hint of yellow. I am excited. I instantly grabbed my collection of green paint swatches and went to town.  Right now Andy and I are loving Sherwin Williams Kale Green.

Also this past weekend I went to the West Elm outlet. And what did I find? Oh just this lamp that I took home for 65% off the original price. Plus a green vase and a wall hook thingy. Sure I found rugs and other furniture, but my space is getting full.  I already have stuff which has no place in the 'ole casa and Andy reminded me that I had recently bought a rug, it was tough. 

West Elm Branch Table Lamp, Polished Silver

My Version of Silver Sage, Decorative Arrows & More

As promised I have a few photos to update you on the house so far.  Nothing crazy, just some images from things that have transpired.  First we will begin with this awesome find from One Kings Lane from a little while back.  While I am still not 100% on board with flash sale sites (reason here). However, I did happen to stumbled across a sale from Fletcher and Fox.  Ever heard from them?  If not, go over to ETSY and check out her store.  She has the greatest decorative arrows.  Obviously, the deal at OKL was awesome and hard not to pass up.  I was hoping for the neon, but they were sold out.  Instead I went with this combo.  I love them much so.

Next up, my bedding.  Mint green was first.  Then cool blues and greens sort of became a thing for me.  Don't get me wrong, I am still crazy for navy, chartreuse, charcoal and rusty oranges.  So when we decided to go to the next bed size, I knew it was a good time to change the color scheme up in the master bedroom.  When West Elm released their infamous pintuck duvet in Oceania, I knew what I had to do.  I love pintuck & tufted just about anything.  I love the color.  I love the quilt they released that conveniently matched the duvet.  So now here it is, living happily on my new king size Serta.  I can not wait until I can get a headboard and night stands put together.

And last but not forgotten, my new chair and coffee table.  I was 100% sold on the West Elm color Silver Sage upholstered onto their Sweep Armchair.  Andy like the fabric color.  I liked the durability.  We went and sat in the chair, it was comfortable.  We were sold. So all I needed to do was wait for a sale on the upholstery.  Then I found a chair at Ethan Allen I LOVED.  Went to see it.  More comfortable.  Better built.  Available in this awesome orange or teal leather.  Pricey but amazing.  That same day, on to High Fashion Home. But what do I find?  A chair and a half in a color almost the same as the West Elm Silver Sage.  Where do I find it?  Upstairs on the fourth floor in clearance.  Half off.  It's comfortable, large, a good height and a hell of a deal.  So, it's mine now.

Yep, that is my living room as it stands right now.  Also, my cheap Lane coffee table.  I found it at Deja Vu Consignment for cheap.  I cant decide if it needs the little bit of work to make it look new again or if I like the wear and tear it is showing right now.  Regardless, I am happy.  And the manufacturer date on the coffee table?  Aug 29, 1959.  Freaking yes dudes, yes.
