In the world of home stores, I feel that Ross is often forgotten about, but it's actually one of my favorite spots to search for home accessories. They have some nice stuff and fantastic bargains sometimes, especially if you score something on clearance. I've gotten some great deals there, including my Pottery Barn knock-off mail station and powder room mirror, just to name a few. This past weekend I was at Ross and spotted some very cute items. I'd like to share them with you in a new segment I'm calling “Spotted At: Ross.” Creative right? Okay, onto the stuff.
How cute is this grey and yellow Waverly bedding set that I spotted? It comes with the comforter, bed skirt, two pillows, and two shams. I promised myself I would remember the price to share later, but the best my foggy memory can muster up is that it was around $45 for a Queen size set.
Then I saw these cute mosaic vases. I was really tempted to take the red one home with me, but I already have a shelf full of unused vases on a storage shelf in my basement, so I had to pass. I want to say they were about $12.
What I was most impressed with at Ross was their fantastic new selection of decorative throw pillows. I found these two, which felt really nice and I believe were stuffed with down or feathers, for $16 or $17. I really liked the peacock one, but I wasn't sure where I could put it so I had to pass. But now that I think about it, the idea of a peacock pillow stuffed with feathers just sounds wrong!
They had other cute pillows too, I liked all three of these pillows that I spotted, which ranged in price from about $11-$16.
Oh man, looking back on these photos really makes me wish I would have bought these pillows, they're so cute! Don't worry, I didn't go home empty handed though. I couldn't bring all of these pillows home, but I also couldn't go home without buying any at all, so I snagged these two babies on clearance for $9 each. I thought they'd brighten up my dark and neutral living room couches and I think they're just the right splash of color. Plus, they should coordinate wonderfully with the nearby window seat I plan to update soon!
I just can't help it, when I see a cute new throw pillow, I'm like a 13 girl at a Justin Beiber concert. However, this has not gone unnoticed by my husband. He is keeping a running tally on the number of throw pillows we now own and that number is getting a little ridiculous. It sounds so stereotypical, but men just don't understand throw pillows! Oh husbands, can't live without them, can't purchase ridiculous amounts of pillows with them!
What about you? Any pillows wars going on in your house? Or any other Ross shoppers out there or is there another secret spot you dig for discount décor?

I agree with you 100%. Each time I go into a Ross, I get that "thrill of the hunt" feeling. I don't know who does that departments buying, but she sure does a great job. There is always something cute, stylish, or "I just gotta have that!" If you haven't shopped Ross, you haven't shopped. Keep up the great work, home accessories department buyer. You know who you are?
