My Happy Place

Alrighty friends, take a seat and hold on tight. I have a feeling that if your style is similar to mine in even the slightest, you are about to experience heart flutters, slight tremors as well as definite and immediate “need to go here NOW” syndrome. You see, that syndrome hit me a couple of months ago when someone ever so briefly mentioned a… WAIT FOR IT… Anthropologie Outlet. Yes, my biggest obsession on Earth (besides God, my kids, my hubby and all of that jazz OF COURSE) has an outlet. So I drove there with my sis one weekday about two months ago and I could’ve sworn my heart stopped as soon as I entered. You see, I love anything and everything Anthro Style. Dangerously obsessed Mark MIGHT say. Like I want our entire “Our Historic Wonderland” to have that vintage, boho chic vibe that they do oh so well. And let’s just say that it did NOT disappoint!

On that day trip, I snagged two light fixtures for our new home (SEEN HERE) but with only my SUV, I was pretty limited on larger purchases. So after we got home from our Spring Break beach trip Friday and Mark informed me of his day long softball tournament on Saturday, I decided to load up the kiddos and my mom (well, she in fact loaded herself and helped load my kiddos) and made the two hour trek to Augusta, GA. In Mark’s truck. If you are a loyal blog reader you may remember my recent post about my big uh-oh in his new ride. Let’s just say that after putting the wrong gas in his truck, I am shocked I was even allowed to sit in the driver’s seat. Lesson learned FOR SURE! And seeing as though my poor girlies had just spent the entire day in the car the day before, I hit up Chick-Fil-A and Wal-Mart for some little treats to hold them over before we left Monroe. Two new movies and a bag full of chicken minis later, we hit the road. And yes, on Master’s weekend. Traffic actually wasn’t too bad! So here’s a look at our day trip, my finds and my want list for next trip.

Oh and seeing as though I am being SO sweet 😉 and sharing this incredible little secret with all of you, you are not allowed to now go and purchase said “want list” of mine. My friend even suggested I not share this with all of you since “your 200,000 readers are all going to go and buy everything up and I haven’t gotten to go yet!” Haha but I love y’all so much that I share ALL of my amazing finds. And y’all wouldn’t do that right??? Kidding kidding.

And if you’ve ever wondered what the hubby has to say when I go on these shopping excursions, here’s a perfect summary…

My Finds

Anthropologie Outlet 6

First, I snagged this AMAZING canopy bed, in white, for AddieBelle’s new room! Since her bed is going in front of our “Romeo and Juliet” balcony door that we do NOT want her to open I wanted something open and airy to still let the light in. Plus, she will have 11′ ceilings! Here’s where it’ll go…

Historic Renovation Update 42

And here’s what it looks like put together…

Forest Bed

Next, I purchased two of these funky little chairs I have been eyeing FOREVER on their website!

Anthropologie Outlet 20

I also got this beautiful 8 x 10 rug that I THINK I plan on using in Addie’s room as well. Looks like my little blondie got lucky on this trip! Although I usually just snag things I love and then work around them later.

Anthropologie Outlet 21

And it DOES look really beautiful in this dining space…

Diamond Rug

And finally, I got this stunning chandelier! I am hoping it’ll be the perfect size for Addie’s new room…Anthropologie Outlet 22

My Want List

And here’s what I have my eye on for next time…

Velvet Daybed

FAQS

  1. Is it super discounted? Yes! I would say most home products are at least 50-75% off!
  2. Is it worth a long drive? I definitely think so! It is super hit or miss but if you’re looking for larger items, it is perfect. Since I am in need of lighting, large rugs and larger furniture pieces it has been worth several trips back. However, they do not have hardly any smaller home decor items such as bedding, drapery or rugs under 8′ x 10′. I would also say that from the time I went about two months ago, they hadn’t gotten TOO much more in stock than what you see here. Oh and they DO NOT hold anything. You must take it with you right then.
  3. Are items damaged? In general I would say “kind of”. You can definitely find things that have no visible damage like the items I found but there are also lots of things that are super damaged as well. As far as the lighting, two of the pieces I purchased need a little welding which Mark can do no problem but for some that may be a huge issue. Plus, you cannot test the lighting and make sure it works. Once again, thankful for a handy hubs but just something to keep in mind.
  4. Where is it located? Augusta, GA

    I really love the chair, looks like tie-dyed blue. Also wondering if the Outlet’s prices are cheaper than the regular store’s prices.

    I absolutely love this place and your post! I found out about it a while ago when I Google searched Anthropologie Outlet stores out of the blue and came across a few blogs that posted about it. I plan on going back soon, it’s a two hour drive for me as well, and is the only store of its kind in the country. Hint-hint…I also follow their Instagram and Facebook accounts where random sales are announced. Funny thing is that I’ve been keeping it a secret too..OOPS! #thecatisoutofthebag

It may be five years later but this week Ab and I It may be five years later but this week Ab and I are finally finishing this tile! 🙌🏻 In my procrastination defense, I WAS going to put a shelf right there but then I changed my mind... 4 years and 11 months ago now 🤦🏻‍♀️ Better late than never! Excited to make 2021 the year I mark stuff off my list! 💗💗💗 What house project are YOU dying to get done this year?
My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and A My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and Ab and I are celebrating our first successful project of 2021 AND the first completed week of our new blog schedule! Yep, our penny tile mosaic super detailed tutorial and reveal is LIVE on the blog as well as three more posts this week. Pop over and sign up to follow along! P.S. If you’re wondering why I chose to orient the saying this way, I pondered it for a while. In the end I chose this way because we literally never ever use this back door. Anyone entering our home either comes through the front door where this is visible down the hallway, up the basement stairs where this greets them at the top or around through our laundry room or family room. Basically when your 1908 home has a million exterior doors, most end up going unused. HAPPY FRIDAY!!! ❤️ Oh and P.S.S. This wallpaper, trim color, artwork and all of the tile details are on the post! Linked in bio. http://liketk.it/360s2 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome
Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a paint color? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Looking for the perfect creamy white/blue-green gray combo and tested out quite a few today. What are your faves of either? Sharing some sneak peeks at our cabin progress and my design plan on stories today!

Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend which meant I just had to snag another cutting board 💗 See it over there looking all cute? I think this one just might be cutting board wall worthy! 😉 Sharing more of my finds on stories today. Several new projects coming soon from my finds too! Also thought I’d take this “cleaned my kitchen just for this picture” opportunity to answer two of my most asked questions... what is your cabinet color and what are your countertops? My cabinets are a 50/50 color mix I created when I was determined to find the perfect blue-gray mix. It’s a full strength, equal mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray. My countertops are Calcutta Reale marble and I’m sharing all of my thoughts about marble in a kitchen on the blog! Link in bio!
2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed u 2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed up today” for a full day of work in a full face of makeup and well... THIS. Links anyone? John’s socks are mighty cozy! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Baby steps into the new year. Baby steps. In other news, my closet is next on the list for completion! A few finishing touches and I’ll finally share it all on the blog ❤️
P.S. For those about to ask, the built-ins are a 50/50 mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray at full strength just like my kitchen cabinets and main level interior doors and the island is BM Dark Harbour. HAPPY FRIDAY!
Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Ca Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Can’t say I’ll miss 2020 or even 2019 quite honestly. So dang ready for a new year and all kinds of new beginnings. From new projects to new business ventures and all kinds of big personal life changes, hoping 2021 is everything we are all praying it can be. Today on stories we started our first project of 2021 that’ll hit the blog next week and I wrapped up my first soon-to-be weekly inspirational/motivational/personal/raw and super real blog post that’ll be live on Monday. Missed y’all! ❤️❤️❤️
All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renova All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renovations just went pint-sized! I cannot even tell you how much fun Ab and I have had on this mini little renovation. #ad Winter asked for a Barbie dreamhouse for Christmas and I just couldn’t hold back. The only problem was that I only had a day or so to go and we were still wrapping twine for chandeliers and spray painting furniture… oops! Thank GOODNESS for @walmart and Walmart+. By becoming a member of Walmart+, you can save nearly 2.5 hours per week with free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (Savings based on 3 store trips per week. Excludes time spent shopping online. $35 minimum order. Restrictions apply.) With our family Christmas party last night and Winnie at home all week, sneaking off to the store wasn’t really an option. I needed a few extra dollhouse supplies and a few things for the party tonight so I hopped online and logged into my Walmart+ account. Sharing LOTS more on stories today! And, in other exciting news, Walmart+ recently introduced Walmart+ free shipping, no order minimum on items from Walmart.com with two-day or next-day shipping options (Excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items)! #Walmartplus http://liketk.it/34yWz #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome http://liketk.it/34yWT
My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This gi My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This girl right here demoed out this entire cabin with her own two hands in 24 hours. A million pounds of junk and carpet and tack strips and everything in between. We just might have had a little fun on stories today documenting some of it too! Now it’s time for DESIGN!!! Eeeeekkkk!!!! If only y’all could’ve been a fly on the wall watching us take these pix 🤦🏻‍♀️ We finally decided, after a million failed attempts with a tiny phone tripod perched on the hood of my car, to video and then screenshot the best moment. Genius Ab. GENIUS!!!
