Shopping Trip : Pottery Barn
I haven’t been getting out much, between being busy with work and Covid numbers spiking, but I did have to swing by the grocery yesterday (which is conveniently located next to Pottery Barn), so I thought I’d pop in quickly. This is the first time I’ve been in a PB since 2019, and I was pleasantly surprised to see lots of things I’ve been loving online, in person on their showroom floor. Our tried and true Pottery Barn sofa has been with us for almost five years now and is still extra comfy and cute in our basement media room, pictured above. This is my third “Shopping Trip” post in the blog series- check out World Market and Tuesday Morning, if you missed them. These are fun to compile, but have been few and far between this year for obvious reasons! Click through to check out my Pottery Barn favorites from my most recent shopping trip- along with ideas on how to style them…
#1 // York Sofa
As I previously mentioned, I’m a fan of Pottery Barn’s upholstery- specifically their sofa and sectional collections. They’re all made here in the US and are great quality, with multiple seating and fabric options. Our sofa is from the York Collection, as is the one pictured above in the Salt Lake store. If you’re looking for a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing sofa…. PB is always one of my top choices!

#2 // Leather Counter Stool
These counter stools immediately grabbed my attention. The leather is a really nice quality and color, plus the shape of the stool is simplistic, allowing these to blend well with other styles. They definitely look more expensive than they actually are, if you’re on the hunt for good barstools!

#3 // Vintage Rug Look Pillows
My friend Julia (of wildly popular design blog Chris Loves Julia) just shared her guest room makeover this week, and used a vintage rug pillow to tie together the bed vignette. I believe hers is one-of-a-kind (vintage), but these look very similar! My favorite is the deep navy cushion, sitting next to the sign. It looked super soft and is made of velvet (despite the distressed vintage look), but I didn’t touch it to test… as PB is practicing “touchless shopping”- smart! I commend them for that. There were only two other shoppers in the store at the same time as me, which made social distancing very easy.

#4 // Marble Nesting Tables
These nesting tables are not something I would ever choose online, but seeing them in person totally changed my mind. They’re really beautiful! They look very heavy, between the iron frame and marble top. These would be really versatile and could be used in a living room, as a bedside table, in an entryway, and would definitely create a timeless, layered look.

#5 // Large Frosted Glass Candle
I tried to show the scale of this candle by resting it on the seat of a chair (this was before I noticed the “no touch” sign, so I felt bad and bought it), but this thing is GIANT. It has six wicks and the sandalwood & patchouli is my favorite scent that Pottery Barn carries. I figured I can use the large frosted glass vessel for styling once the candle is finished. It would make a great coffee table bowl!

#6 // Classic Double Sink Vanity
The sink vanity in the bathroom at our previous home actually came from Pottery Barn. I’ve always loved their timeless bathroom selections. This double sink vanity really impressed me in person. From the inset drawers to the petite polished nickel hardware and gorgeous marble countertop, this is a classic option that looks very expensive and custom.
It has a great amount of counter space, as well as both open and closed storage (win/win). I could totally see baskets filled with linens on the open portion of the vanity. It comes in a few different colors (white and gray, as well).

#7 // Slender Side Table
This budget-friendly side table is worth noting because of the unique, slender shape. If you’re short on space and need an extra surface… this table is perfect for those tight areas! It could easily squeeze into a powder room, between the arm of a sofa and the wall, as well as other difficult areas. It’s a great basic to have!
Shopping tip… take note of the “Last Chance Floor Model Sale” sign in the background. This happens every summer. It might be worth calling your local Pottery Barn to see if you can score any showroom floor models that have been marked way down!

#8 // Woven Bench
This bench was giving me major Amber Lewis vibes. I love the woven texture and neutral color! It would look great styled at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or mudroom. If you’re a fan of organic, neutral, casual, Californian (boho?) looking spaces… this would be a great piece to add to your collection.

#9 // Brass Floor Lamp
My local store was having a big lighting sale and these three brass floor lamps gained my interest. The middle one is my favorite! Pottery Barn does a nice job with their antique brass finishes. It never looks cheap, and is perfectly aged.

#10 // Round Marble Dining Table
Last, but not least… this marble pedestal dining table. The top is covered in merchandise, so you’ll have to look past that… but the marble tabletop has an awesome edge detail. I’m a sucker for a pedestal table with a great base and this one is such a stunning shape! I believe this table comes in a couple different sizes, but you can’t beat a HEAVY, solid marble table for under $1k. It’s a score. It would look great in a breakfast nook, entryway, or staircase landing!

Pottery Barn has always been one of my favorite resources. It was really fun to peruse their store and do a little shopping yesterday. It had been far too long and I gained some good inspiration! Which items are your favorites from the post? Are there any good ones I missed? I’m motivated to finish the guest room so I have a new space to style!
