West Elm steals & deals

During my shopping trip on Monday, I decided to hop into West Elm just to peruse and see if there were any new items that caught me eye.  I like to pop in every once in awhile (okay, pretty much every time I'm at the mall) because I've had some good luck finding discounted store-display pieces that are in really good condition.  And luckily, on Monday I struck gold, as all sale items were an additional 15% off the lowest ticketed price:

First up, some vases & a hurricane:

Large Capiz Hurricane in Gray - Online $29.99 vs In Store $19.99 + add'l 15% off



Large Mercury Glass Log Vase - Online $19.99 vs In Store $9.99 + add'l 15% off 



Large Mercury Glass Pyramid Bottle in Silver - Online $19.99 vs In Store $9.99 + add'l 15% off 




Large Mercury Glass Inkwell Bottle in Onyx - Online $24.99 vs In Store $9.99 + add'l 15% off 


Square Antique Tiled Wall Mirror (I think this is sold out as I cannot locate this size online but Houzz has it listed at $99) - In Store $39.97 + add'l 15% off 


And the pièce de résistance: Herringbone Mirror Side Table - Full Price Online $249.00 vs In Store $99.99 + add'l 15% off 


And because I like to prove to myself that any money spent was a good deal, here's a little comparison:



ItemOriginal Retail PriceOnline Sale PriceIn-Store Sale PriceAfter Discount
1Gray Capiz Hurricane$49.00 $29.99 $19.99 $16.99
2Large Mercury Glass Log Vase$39.00 $19.99 $9.99 $8.49

Total:$524.00 $437.96 $189.92 $161.43


That almost 70% off from the original retail price!  It really does amaze me how store prices can vary so significantly from what's listed online.

I've haven't yet decided on how I'm going to use everything and where I'm going to hang the mirror, but I'll post some pics this weekend showing what they look like IRL and how they're working out so far.

Hope everyone is looking forward to Friday as much as I am!
