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.

    Great steals and deals. Would love to be able to go there – I do like all that shelving, storage, and office furniture, and that “island” too. We have a Pottery Barn outlet near us but the selection can vary widely and the markdowns are not always so impressive. It was fun to see all this and go shopping with you both!

    What? There’s a Ballards outlet in Atlanta? I never knew! Another thing to put on my list for my next trip there. (Katie and I are scheming a weekend road trip soon!)

    What great stuff! I usually go to the Ballard’s outlet on Defoor Avenue, but they don’t have nearly that selection. The store is half outlet/half retail, and it’s convenient for me, though, so it’s a great store for browsing.

    How I so wish that I lived close to this outlet! I have had my eye on an antique green cabinet from Ballards for so many years and I spied it in your pics!

    Rhoda,

    OhMyGoodness! I see a more than a few things I’d be walking away with. I am going to have to check their website and see if this is the only outlet location. If so, I will add it an autumn or spring road trip. Perhaps you’ll join me. 🙂

    Your Friend,

    One of my favorite spots! You can also sign up for their emails and they will let you know what’s on sale each week at each of their Backroom outlets.
    The mirrors always get me, too. And the rugs. And the home office storage. 🙂

    There is a Ballard outlet in West Chester, OH about 20 min. north of Cincinnati off of I-75. Are there others out there?

    I really, really need to go! That drum shade pendant chandelier is what I’ve been looking for. And the $19.99 bookshelves?!? Are you kidding me? Need some too.

    These deals are killing me!!! Those lanterns alone are worth buying a plane ticket and flying up there!
    Seriously if I ever do make up that way- I’ll let you know so we can meet up and shop!!

    I wish we had a Ballard outlet here! I need one of those lanterns at that price in the worst way!!:-) Of course I would need a truck because I see a lot more than the lanterns I would “need” to bring home!

    Oh my goodness! I would give anything if Ballard would open an outlet in the Dallas area! Your pics of their offerings made my mouth water…one of those mirrors in particular! Thank you!

    I am now going to have to plan a shopping trip down south (I am in Canada). I can’t stand seeing all those amazing pictures, and not being able to buy it! I saw several things I’d buy right now. Thanks for sharing!

    You are so fortunate to have this nearby!
    I would be like a kid in a candy store shopping there, wanting most EVERYTHING. Looks terrific!

    Enjoy.

    Oh Lordy! I was just at the Ballard’s Outlet in West Chester, OH, a couple weeks ago and they didn’t have all of these deals there at that time. I would be in So. Much. Trouble. with the deals at the Atlanta outlet! I would have bought the bookshelves, a few of those lanterns and some of the cafe shelving, for sure!!
