It’s been too long since our last window-shopping post, and I’m excited to share a few finds from a recent stop at the Pottery Barn Outlet in Georgia while we were visiting Katie Bower and meeting little Weston. These posts aren’t sponsored — we just wander the store with a camera and share pieces that inspired us. The outlet was full of great home decor finds and kid-friendly furniture, so here’s a tour of what caught our eye.
Right inside the door was a sweet heart-shaped chandelier priced at $14.99. It’s the kind of whimsical accent you could also DIY: try an embroidery hoop, fishing line, and red paper or felt for a similar effect. For a bolder statement, a large hula hoop could work as the frame.
A small pink kids’ chair was just $19 and would make a playful pop of color in a kitchen, office, or reading nook. Nearby, more traditional cottage-style kids’ chairs were $35 each — sturdy, neutral, and perfect for a painted or dipped-leg refresh.
A bright red play kitchen was marked down to $124 because a dial was missing. At first that felt pricey, but considering many budget play kitchens start around $99, this one’s charm and color make it worth considering — and a simple replacement timer or knob would solve the missing-dial issue.
There were a few small accessories that made us smile, like $4.99 alligator figurines — the kind of quirky accents that add personality to a shelf or kids’ space.
Some of the larger lighting and furniture pieces were investment-level, including oversized chunky floor lamps that felt cinematic and sculptural. If you’re updating a living room or entry with a mix of modern and classic pieces, bold lamps like these make a memorable statement.
We also found large glass table lamps for $49 each — big, rounded, and elegant. They’d work well in pairs on a console or flanking a bed if you have the space.
A pendant light priced at $49 caught my eye for dining nooks or entryways with taller ceilings. Its long drop wouldn’t suit every home, but where ceiling height allows, it creates lovely vertical drama.
Some chairs were on the pricier side at $267 each, but they felt luxe with leather seats, wooden frames, and aged hardware — pieces that blend modern and vintage cues and can anchor a dining room or office.
Rugs are always a highlight at outlet stores, and a bold red rug with a crisp white stripe stood out. Red can be surprisingly fresh and modern — not just traditional — and a piece like this adds warmth and energy to living rooms or entryways.
A dry-erase calendar board was around $40 and seemed very practical for family organization. With dry-erase paint and simple stencils, you could recreate a similar functional wall calendar at home.
An egg tray felt perfectly seasonal for Easter table styling — imagine it filled with colorful dyed eggs as a centerpiece.
The day’s “wish-we-had-room-in-the-car” pick was a train table priced at $49. With a raised lip around the edge it’s handy for play, crafts, and even as a casual coffee table in a sunroom — practical and playful at once.
A wine-barrel-sized serving tray for $35 was surprisingly large and perfect for family-style meals or as a striking dining table centerpiece. It would also make a dramatic lazy Susan with a little hardware added underneath.
We also spotted a roomy woven basket for $49 with chunky handles and an attractive weave. Practical for toy storage or blankets, it’s the kind of basket that looks great on display.
At the aspirational end was a shallow-drawer cabinet priced at $499 — ideal for organizing art supplies, paper, or collections. For anyone needing a tidy, drawer-filled workspace, this would be a dream piece.
Window shopping at outlets like Pottery Barn Outlet is a great way to gather inspiration for decorating on a budget. We love checking places like Target, World Market, Ikea, thrift stores, and smaller independent shops for ideas. What stores have you been browsing lately? Any DIY projects on your list — dipped chair legs, paper mobiles, or a custom dry-erase calendar?
