Alrighty then.....let's get going on part 2 of putting together a room in a week! I left you hanging about our trip to the Pottery Barn Outlet.
It was an insane day. We found so many bargains that we changed the plan to take advantage of them.....I mean you gotta be flexible right?
That is the beauty of having free range in the design process!
That is the beauty of having free range in the design process!
So....here is the headboard we ended up getting.
It is the Lewis Headboard with a linen slipcover.
Retail: 349.00 Slipcover: 199.00 Total is 548.00
We paid: 199.94 [brand new in box]
Here is the rug we got.
Retail price: 399.00
We got it for 149.97
Now here is the info about the dresser. Oh they had it alright but it did not have the feet. AND....they could not be ordered....so we found another one for 100.00 cheaper!
The retail on this puppy was 1019.00
We paid 249.97
Can you believe that? I did cartwheels down the isle. Glad I had my pretty panties on.
Here is the desk we got
They did not have the one covered in grasscloth but they did have the metal one.
Retail: 499.00
We paid 249.97
Here is the chair that we scored...
Retails for 269.00
We paid 136.98
And the last thing we got was this bookcase.
Retail was 399.00
We paid 82.97
Unbelievable right!!!! I mean we had to go back the next day to pick it all up....in my sisters OLD truck with the airbag light on the whole time...and no windshield wipers.
Death trap. Feared for my life.
We also scored a coverlet and a task lamp.
Picked up these beauties from Target....
On sale I might add....
We were in a frenzy putting it all together and my sister mistakenly cut her finger while she was using some scissors. Geez...she was slinging blood everywhere.
We could not find a bandage so I fixed her up real nice....
Toilet paper and painters tape.....now get back in there and finish painting the bathroom.
Sudi is helping me out by getting the pillows finished so I can give you a little reveal on Friday! Isn't she the best!
Of course I raided my hoarding closet as did my sister.....and made a few donations. I am always happy to get rid of some things for a good cause.
I know you can't wait until the reveal...cause y'all are whores when it comes to a before and after.
One more thing before I cook dinner [who am I kidding....putting in a frozen pizza]....I know it is that time of year when people start fixing up there homes. I would like to give you some info on Sudi's fiancé Michael, who is a wonderful builder....just in case you get the urge to rip out a bathroom or kitchen! Do It!

This you best post eva' !!! Confession time, I'm a total lurker, never post comments, but love, love your blog. I'm an Atlanta girl (who spent days and days at Scott's, back in the day) living in Richmond, VA. I love your Scott's posts, and the rest, but this beats them all! Can't wait for the big reveal!
Well good gosh...you have amazed me...again! My tire pressure light never scares me anymore

Lived in Atlanta for 12 years and LOVED going to the Pottery Barn Outlet! One of the things I miss most about living in Jacksonville now. That and Scott's. You had me cracking up about your pretty panties! Ha!

And I thought I had a black belt in shopping!!! I love it all. You Atlanta folks are so lucky to have the best outlets. And who knew you had medical skills too? (I'm still laughing over that one.) Looking forward to the big reveal.
Best...Victoria

Can't believe the deals you scored! Awesome. You're too funny. I'm worried your sister might need a tetanus shot after seeing that "band-aid" :)
The PB Outlet has West Elm stuff???
Great post and I'm jealous of the outlets you have there.
I love your choices for the room and I can't wait for the reveal.
You're so right, we're all freaking whores when it comes to before and afters over here!!! I can't believe all your barganzas….you rock!

Good God! I hope your sister didn't bleed all over any of the new stuff....ok, seriously hope she is fine. What we won't do for our kids. Your scores are record breaking all time wins. Everything seems better in the South.
Holy moly, you made out like a BANDIT! Can't wait to see the room all together!
You crack me up! I'm laughing out loud. . .and the whore in me can't wait for the "after" pics!
I love your blog! I read it not only for your great design sense, but for making me laugh every time!
As I'm eating pizza of my own (and a 337 wine, I might add), What a tease you are!!!! I just knew you were going to do a reveal. Dying over here! Just Bring it, friend! M.

I've never had so much luck at PBO. You made a killing! Way to go!
Major score!! Love that bookshelf and desk. Heck, I love it all and can't wait to see it come together. You have one lucky nephew.
Drooling .... absolutely can't wait for this one !!!
WHAT????? WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN THERE????? You are so going with me too.
I CANNOT BELIEVE those deals you got!! Seriously! When you see stuff like that, how can anyone pay full price! And, what is so unbelievable, I LOVE all your purchases. I could so see this working in my house!!! Can't wait to see the reveal!
Love all your great finds and fabulous deals. Looking forward to see the BIG REVEAL!!!

This room is going to be amazing! I love all of the things you have found so far, and I can't believe the great deals you got!
OK, now I know where that cool bureau / chest came from. $249?? Seriously? Gotta track down a PB outlet in our area.
I've noticed that the furniture and other items you've got there matched with one another. That's awesome! I zeroed in on the bookcase though. I have lots of books at home, so I can't make do with my bookcase. Aside from being functional, it is a great centerpiece too, which could be a conversation-starter. :)
