Friday Steal of the Day- Pottery Barn Outlet!

If you have a Pottery Barn outlet close by, definitely check it out!  My closest one is an hour away, which is a bit of a pain.  But totally worth it.  They have tons of items from Pottery Barn, West Elm, and even a few from Williams-Sonoma Home!

I went today to find a rug for my living room.  I previously had SISAL there, but SISAL and dogs just don't mix.  I had tried every hint and tip from Martha Stewart for cleaning it, and nothing worked.  So I headed down to the Pottery Barn outlet, hoping I could find something good. 

And I did!   An 8x10 Williams-Sonoma Home wool rug in a fab Greek key pattern with the original $2160 tags on it.  The outlet price was marked $795 and then lowered to $695.  I told the guy that this was more than I wanted to spend, so he said, "How about $488?"  I told him that was still more, so I needed to keep looking.  He said, "How about $224.99?"  SOLD.  I have no clue if they typically will negotiate with customers or if today was just my lucky day.  But somehow I scored the rug below for about 90% off retail!  I can't get it out of my car until my husband gets home, but I will take some pictures of it in the room later on.

My other find was a set of Pottery Barn pillow shams in this fun red ikat fabric.  Originally marked $29.99, down to $.47!!  Sounds too good to be true, I know!  Not sure where I will use them, but they are cute and fun and were less than two quarters!

Have you had good luck at a Pottery Barn Outlet before?  Tell us what you have found!

PLEASE NOTE THAT I EDITED TO CLARIFY THAT MY BAD RUG EXPERIENCE WAS WITH A SISAL RUG, NOT A SEAGRASS RUG.  I HAVE A SEAGRASS RUG THAT HAS HELD UP JUST FINE WITH THE DOG.  SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION!!
