Ballard Designs Back Room

Hey peeps have you missed me? I am currently in Atlanta for our family vacation. I got the awesome opportunity to visit one of my favorite places for design inspiration...

Ballard Designs -oh how I love thee. The terrific part about this store is that this is one of only two of their Backrooms which is where all of their clearance and closeout stuff is sold. Their normally expensive stuff is way more affordable at this place. It was so fun to touch all the things I just get to peruse in their catalog.

Cute little Gallerie Hutch...catalog price $699.99. Backroom price $99!

Look at all their lighting and art...

These clocks are originally $129-$249 in their catalog but at the Backroom they were $9.99!

I desperately wanted this Louis Wood bed frame for my guest bedroom which is regularly priced at $899. I love the caning and the legs looked like the exact design on my dresser refab. But at $323 it was still out of my price range.

Linens, bedding, sofa covers, and more oh my!

And here is their great deals for the week!

It was a pretty large store and they had tons of furniture! If you are ever in the Atlanta area you must stop at one of the two Ballard Backroom stores. You will love it!

  1. Lucky you. I had no idea until a few months ago that there was a Ballards Outlet store. Maybe I'll get there before I move from this area.

  2. Wish we had a Ballards Outlet here. I have never heard of it. It probably is just in your area. You really found some great buys.

  7. Oh. My. Word. I had no idea this existed. Lucky for me, Chattanooga is a short drive from Atlanta! I'm hopping in the car now!

  8. WHAT? Why does it seem that Cali is the last place to get all the cool stuff??? The only thing I can boast is Ikea.

    Someday...someday.

  17. Your pictures inspire me, maybe I will head over there after all. You seem to be popular with us Atlantans - maybe you should move here too!

  20. I will totally be onboard for the trip to the Cincy store!! Can't wait to see what you come home with.

  21. Oh, I'm jealous. I DO, however, have a relative in Atlanta too...may have to go there. Although I'm not sure I could ship home everything that I wanted and still make it cost effective!

  22. WOW what fun. Wish I was there with you and had a uhaul. I was pretty pumped I got to make it to the JoAnn's store closing final days sale (terre Haute). But Buttons for a penny and patterns for a dime just doesn't compare.

  23. Wow! My Mom lives in Athens so maybe I could talk her into a trip over sometime. Looks like great deals. Jackie

  24. I just found your blog and I am loving it! AMAZING! I have a question. I saw a post about your daughters room and I am loving the wall project. My walls are textured so painting stripes would be pretty difficult for a beginner like me. I was think of doing it with vinyl wall decals. have you seen or heard of someone doing this or do you know of a company I can go through? Thanks and I'll be blog-stalking again soon!

  25. Yes! I've missed you! I wish there were a Ballard's Back Room near here. Not that Atlanta is so very far away--but it seems like I'm only ever in the Atlanta AIRPORT, never really in town. Glad you're having a good time!

  26. Oh NO!! I was in the Atlanta area all week. Wish I had been able to check your site while I was there!

  28. I used to go here when we lived in Georgia~I sure do miss it!

    Have a happy Monday~ I am slowly making my way through all of the comments that I so lovingly received last Thursday when I was featured on SITS. Thank you so very much for visiting me.

  29. Hey there! I was wondering if you have a preference between the Roswell location and intown/westside location for best deals and selection? My sister-in-law and I are heading there tomorrow, hope you have some input! Thanks!
