Neighborhood Tour… Visiting the Pottery Barn Outlet!
I was in Ohio last week visiting my son, I shared with you part 1 and part 2 of his amazing attic reno project he did himself. While I was there, I finally had an opportunity to go to the Pottery Barn Outlet that’s just about 45 minutes south of Columbus.

The taller dresser, is the husband’s from when he was a boy and before that belonged to his dad from when he was young. Likewise for the other dresser, it was the wife’s from when she was a little girl, but now they’re together.
