Ballard’s Outlet Browsing

For many years, browsing the Ballard’s Outlet in Roswell has been a fun thing to do.  You never know what you’ll spot in there and sometimes there are some smokin’ deals to be found.  I spotted a couple of them during my recent visit last week.  My sister and I were over on that side of town for a Biltmore Inspirations meeting and decided to stop in and see what they had.  This was last Tuesday.

Right off the bat, I spotted a fantastic deal on these HUGE and I mean HUGE lanterns they have on clearance for $69.  This bad boy is way bigger than the lantern I had over my breakfast table (that I brought with me with I moved, by the way).  I was keeping that one!  But this Ballard’s one is a fabulous deal at this price.  They must have had 25 of them on clearance, but I’m sure they won’t last long. I wish I could justify buying one, but I sadly cannot. : (  Why put something else in storage?

See?  What a deal this is!  I can hardly stand it.

Regularly $229, clearance $69.  Can’t be beat!  Someone in ATL needs to run over and get one.  Let me know if you do.  I will be jealous! 🙂

There are always lots of pretty things to see at the Ballard’s outlet.

They always come out with new products and sometimes there are great deals to be had. 

Lots of artwork.  Many items are priced at 30% to 50% below retail.

Like these clocks, were 50% off the lowest price, so may be marked down even lower.

My sis was checking them out.

See, more of those amazing lanterns at that rock bottom price.  I can’t stand it! 

Here are the Ballards shelves that I love so much, the ones that I had in my office nook.  Still love these things!

Lots of office storage pieces.

Adore this little side table.

These outdoor cushions were so pretty too, love the fabric.

Here’s deal of the day #2!  Check out these metal shelves for $19.99.  Oh my goodness, I love these too, but no I don’t need them.  Someone go buy one of these too!  Love the detail on them.  This would be such a great accent piece.

More office storage.

How about this on top of your desk?

Console for a flat screen.

This piece was so unique and pretty.  I can see it as an island.

How about an upholstered in leather king sized headboard?  so pretty!

Wow, at all the chandies!

This modern one is so stylish.

Love, love these green pendants!

Stools and chairs galore.

Their mirrors always get my attention. Aren’t these beautiful?

I love all of these.

Another type of lantern fixture, these are gorgeous and huge too.

What a cute side chair.

You can find some great deals on linens too.  Look at that price?

You just never know what you will score at the Ballard’s outlet in Roswell.  I’ve loved browsing there for years and when I come across deals like the lantern and metal shelves, they are definitely worth sharing.

Do you have a Ballard’s Outlet in your area?  I know there aren’t that many, so we are lucky to have one here in Atlanta.

    I wish that we had a Ballard’s Outlet….I LOVE that beach print/picture of the two children by the sea….it is way too expensive in the catalog….I bet it is a steal at the outlet………I guess i need to move.

    Oh my goodness I’m so jealous that you have a Ballard outlet!!! I’m just over in SC, so after seeing this post I’m thinking I need to make a little trip! 🙂 Thanks for sharing the fabulous deals!

    Okay, I so need to go to this outlet!!! Tom used to live in Roswell (and Duluth, too, I think…I can’t keep up with all the places he lived–I’ll ask!) I think.

    I love Atlanta! It’s gotten sooooo big, though, and I’m just a little small town girl so the traffic scares me, even after living in Washington, DC!

    It’s very humbling when I travel there!

    Hugs/blessings,
    Lana

    I love, love a great deal! I live in Atlanta too and didn’t realize we had a Ballard Outlet near here! I’m loving the dining set and large mirror. Thank you for the preview :)! You’ve convinced me to stop by their store tomorrow to check it out!

    This is so funny, as I looked at this post I thought to myself, wow I guess they must have an awful lot of these Tripoli shelves for 19.95…..bargain city!!
    I was at the Roswell Backroom July 6th as we were coming back from NC and they seemed to have pretty much the same items as when you were there. As I read, it became to much of a coincidence and I looked at the date of the post!!!! I had been reading older posts of yours for a quite a while this afternoon and thought this was one!! Ha!!
    It was my first visit to the BB, I wanted to go to the one a bit closer to town also but we had to go by my daughter’s house and be off for home b4 rush hour!! Have you been to the Backroom on DeFoor Ave.? My daughter says the have more accessories and less furniture. Maybe next time. I did get a mirror this trip……..just the arch for the Grand Palais, the rest is far too big for our house!! I’ve wanted the Garden District mirrors forever but they were cheap looking plastic framed……not so pretty and I’m glad as I love what I did get! I hate I missed you & your sister, would have loved to meet you! Take care, VBg
