Latest Find - New Console Table

Last weekend, Billy and I took a road trip to the nearest Pottery Barn Outlet, which isn't very near to us at all. The only PB outlet within driving distance to us is all the way out on Long Island in New York, which means crossing either the George Washington Bridge or Tappan Zee, passing through the Bronx & Queens (lots of traffic almost always) and out to Long Island. It's a trek that takes over an hour, but since I had a couple of Pottery Barn credits burning a hole in my pocket, we took the trip.

They were having a huge 40% off all furniture sale and that was in addition to their already marked down outlet prices. Much of their occasional furniture is new in the box so it isn't damaged in any way. When I saw the Tivoli console table, I knew it would be coming home with us.  I have often admired this table in the PB catalog, but never wanted to pay full price ($699).  We ended up paying  $288.

A console table is such a versatile piece and I love the size (it is long!) and finish on this one.  This is one of those pieces that I know we will have with is for the long haul because it won't go out of style. The hardest part was deciding where to place it in our family room. It is currently on our planked gallery wall. Next, I will probably try it out as a sofa table behind our large Ikea sofa.

I am making plans to change up the gallery wall for summer.  I am looking for an anchor to replace the antlers, but I haven't found one that I love yet.  I will switch the pictures of the kids and dogs from winter favorites to summer.

The glass hurricane with the white candle was my only other purchase that day.  It has an open space under the candle that I plan to place some things we collect from the woods on one of our hikes (acorns and pinecones). There are a few things that Pottery Barn does really well in my opinion. I often admire their glassware.  And the finish on their distressed wood furniture is usually beautiful and not something I have seen re-created in a DIY project. 

Have you found any great deals on furniture lately? Have you been to a Pottery Barn Outlet?  I only wish we had one closer.  Or maybe not.  That could be dangerous to my wallet!
