Home Furniture and Decor at Ross Stores

I'm back with another post on my recent shopping finds. That's right, I'm the crazy lady taking pictures of all the cool stuff in the stores around Miami... Today's post features some hot items that I spotted at the clothing and home decor store Ross. Now listen, Ross gets a bad wrap from some people, and I'll admit there is some junk hanging out there (like any other store really), but there are also hidden gems. You just have to know what to look for, you have to have a good eye. I see fabulous things in the home department allll the time, to a detriment might I add. There's also great men's clothing and shoes. As for women's clothing, most of it is cheaply made and not worth the price - but if you dig deep, sometimes you find some awesome linen or hippy tops. Most of the shoe selection is crappy, but every now and then you strike gold with a good brand/sexy shoe. When it comes to purses: don't bother, very rarely do I see anything made of real leather that's good looking.

To me, Ross is a tier down from Marshalls, TJMaxx, and Homegoods when it comes to price and quality (not always, but usually). Although, I do see some of the same things in all those stores, very frequently. Before I begin the eye candy extravaganza, just a note: this is not a sponsored or paid post, I just enjoy snapping photos of all this great stuff and sharing it with you. You know, just in case you had no idea a Ross contained such interesting specimens. My advice: whilst battling the disheveled chaos inside a Ross store (because usually it's in some degree of disarray), try to see past the mess to the hidden gems littering the isles, I assure you they're there! Sometimes more, sometimes less, just keep an eye peeled.

Anyway, most of the time, it's the home furniture and decor that I'm hunting, check it out...

Lots of ottomans, benches, and stools:

I got this beauty for my uncle for Christmas, but I kind of wish I had kept it:










   





I bought these two benches/tables...  I really like the industrial look with the faux rebar hairpin legs.  $150 for the long bench and $50 for the small one, not bad considering World Market has this similar bench for $449!

   



   







I also bought another version of this iron and leather hide fold-up bench.  The one I bought is made from a solid piece of hide, not patchwork.  At $50, it was a steal:







I really loved this upholstered loveseat, except for the shiny chrome nailhead trim.  This would look great at a round wood dining table with mixed seating:


A variety of cute tables, this one looked especially pretty next to the upholstered loveseat above:











Chairs:



   





Some kitchen stools:





Even a queen headboard in a convenient clear carry case:



   

Lots of pretty Geode bookends:



And last but not least, knick-knacks, pretty wood boxes and trays galore:













I still regret not buying this turquoise inlaid bone serving tray...
