Once upon a time, in a mystical place far, far away was a magical land called Pottery Barn Furniture Outlet. The legends of fairy tale deals was admired by all that heard of their spectacular prices. One day, not so long ago, a couple embarked upon a journey to this mystical land. Arriving to the store after a long travel, their dreams of bargain furniture became a reality….
because this store rocks! Seriously, my friends – it was like stepping into a fabulous mixture of Ikea prices with style and quality of Pottery Barn. Does it get any better than that?
Our sofa shopping adventures came to an end when we found this beauty: A $1089 sofa for $419. That was not a typo. We saved a whopping $670 on the most comfortable and beautiful sofa I’ve ever sat on. I am absolutely in love! The only draw back was that it did not come pre-slipcovered. That’s ok, though. Since I’ve purchased the amazing ebook The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Custom Slipcovers by my friend Kristi, I know I can do one myself. I’m not in a big hurry, though, since I love the Stone fabric that it’s upholstered in.
Isn’t she a beaut? It’s the Buchanan sofa, and it makes me smile every time I have to walk in the room :)
The reason for the deep discount? It had a small stain on the arm, which I removed with a little upholstery cleaner – an easy task for such a big discount!
Driving 3 hours each way may sound crazy, but that driving time saved me $100 per hour, even after you factor in the gas – PLUS I didn’t have to wait 6-14 weeks. Sweet! Talk about instant gratification…
*Disclosure: I am an affiliate of Pink & Polka Dot – if you buy the slipcover ebook I will receive a portion of the price. I purchased the book with my own money and thought it was so wonderful that I would share my find with y’all :)
OH! I have a PB outlet 3.5 hours from me! I have wanted to go for so long but wasn't sure it would be worth it but IKEA prices is definitely worth the drive!!! Wow. Great deal. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! You got the instant gratification of taking it right home, too.

Wow!! I can't believe what a huge discount that was! Where was it? I live in the Nashville area too, and a 6 hour round trip doesn't sound bad at all!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! What a fantastic deal! I can't wait to see the slipcover idea you use, but in the meantime, it sure looks great as is.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a PB Outlet, but I think I need to try and get to one :)
I love a good fairy tale...they say dreams do come true, right? ;) I THINK there is a PB outlet within a couple of hours of me. I love what you came home with, and it's so cool that you were able to clean it so easily so you won't have to worry about slipping it right away!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW!!! That's so amazing! Having a PB sofa is a dream of mine (and I love that blog-world has introduced me to other people who think that qualifies as a "dream"). Congratulations on your great find!!
ReplyDeleteI get so excited about saving money. So I'm super excited for you!! A PB couch for a bargain price, woo hoo!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYAY, I am so happy for you.

That looks like the Memphis pottery barn outlet...my favorite place to shop!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is amazing and definitely worth a 3 hour drive! I googled it and found there's a PB outlet in Lake Elsinore, CA which is just over an hour away and on the way to my in-laws. I'll definitely have to tell hubby we're going on a little roadtrip:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE (can't say it any louder) PB outlet! There is one 1 hour from us and I'm hoping they will put one at a closer outlet that is only 30 minutes away. I haven't been there all winter but once this weather calms down, I'm there!

I will be looking up pottery barn outlets near me! WOW! Thanks for the tips! EXCITING!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if I've ever commented before - anyway - YAY! That is awesome! We have an outlet about 45 minutes from us and I got a slipcovered sofa and a chair for $650 for both! I was so psyched too - I love them so much :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new sofa!!

I LOVE the PB outlet!! We are lucky enough to have one less than an hour away. A few months ago I scored a twin sized Catalina headboard & footboard for $99. The same bed was "on sale" for $399 on their website at the time. Great find on your sofa! Good luck with the slipcover!!

ReplyDeleteWow!! I'm truly JEALOUS!! There is a Pottery Barn Outlet a couple hours from me and I've never been...I'm GOING...NOW!!!! :) Seriously GREAT buy!! Oh, and by the way, if you need some fantastic discount upholstery fabric I know of this great store called Home Fabrics and Rugs that has a fantastic selection for majorly discounted prices. They also have an online store if there isn't one close to you. Its http://homefabricsonline.com/. Just thought you might need it to make the slipcover. :) Anyway, great site! I love it!

Oh Gina! I've wanted to go to a PB Outlet for so long! Did you go to the one in GA? I thought I found a PB in Knoxville and was so excited, only to go there and find that it was just a very small shop in the mall and not even discounted prices. :(
ReplyDeleteThat sofa is such a great deal! Congratulations on the find! :)
Yay for you! I want that one too. Just had the pleasure of trying one out at a friends house...now where is an outlet???
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy stopping by your site. : )
