Pottery Barn Outlet Fall

Pottery Barn Outlet last weekend was all decked out for fall. 

Pumpkins orange and mercury glass were plentiful.

Lots of images ahead.

Go get a drink and drink in the PB.

This rug is gorgeous.

Baskets in all shapes and sizes.

The back of the store is chock full of furniture and has a wall of rugs. 

I wanted this leather chair while Joe objected to its $899 price tag.

 He could not be convinced. 

There would have been a %20 discount from the outlet mall.

I will find a leather chair. 

Yes I will.

Red

Happy Friday ya'll.

 More red has been added into the living room because of that striped thrifted handwoven chenille rug we found last summer.  The room has a kind of red, white and blue vibe now. Yes, I left a tag remnant on the child's chair. Oops.

I have been cleaning up a storm today and am "give out" as my mama would say. 

I even cleaned baseboards.

 I also hung some pretty thrifted eyelet cafe curtains.

 I'll share them on the next post.

Thrifted Living Room Rug

A few posts ago I mentioned an estate sale that Joe and I attended that had great prices. It was being held by a young affluent couple selling all they owned from their three story historic home, except their summer clothes, to become missionaries to Honduras. We bought this Capel handmade braided rug from their boy's room for thirty dollars.

 I looked at the Capel site online and these rugs are expensive {this one would be close to $1000.00}. It takes our living room a little bit more traditional and perhaps a tad country but we do not mind. It is chenille, well made, and will last a long time. It is far better than the indoor outdoor rug that was here before. It is also quite warm underfoot.

It works with our white, blue, and burlap pieces of furniture.

Here is the old rug in a shot I happen to like from my former camera. In the background you can see the dining room rug which I have always felt was too fussy. The Capel rug seems to play well with it and makes me think I can enjoy the dining room rug now.

I hope you are having a terrific Sunday. I have not slept at all because I worked in the garden yesterday yanking lantana branches and I hurt all over. Clearly the monster lantana won that round. I keep telling myself we keep it for the butterflies and the hummingbirds and they will be arriving soon.

In With the Brown and Blue

In with the brown and blue.

Out with the pink.

I do like pink my darlings, I was just over the horrid pink rug with the blue butterflies. We had that very nice wool rug with a Greek key border for eight years and I wanted a less formal look. The living space at the yellow house is right off the deck and the flower garden and we are outside, via the almost French doors, all the time and the rug needs to take a beating.

Nita at Mod Vintage Life does pink the best. Please visit her blog as her Tudor home is charming and best of all so is Nita.

It is an outdoor patio rug and we like that. Some of you astute readers of Olive Out had suggested a natural fiber rug in another post when I was carrying on about the pink one. I do pay attention to every comment. After all this is porch rattan furniture {all from a garage sale}.
The print, on the stone fireplace, is framed in a metal frame and that is important and really the main reason we bought it other than the bluish gray coastal image. The fireplace causes wood frames to get very hot. We are looking for an interesting large metal something  to hang up there and we will know it when we see it.

 

Joe and I found the old leather suitcase at an estate sale. Joe thought me kind of nuts for buying it but that is not unusual when we thrift together. It is quite heavy and I sat it down here when I brought it in the house and like it so much right there...it stays!

The cost of the transformation:

  

Patio rug $35.00 garage sale

Coastal print $5.00 garage sale

Little footstool .50 cents

That's at total of $40.50

The living room in all it's pink glory.

You cannot see the butterflies in this image...that is a shame.

We still have a few touches of pink here and there. Joe has a piece of modern art {not shown} that stays of course and it has a lot of pink.
