Cincinnati shopping: A trip to Bargains and Buyouts

I love home design. There's just no denying it. When I walk into a room, my mind instantly sketches up what it could look like and explores at least ten hypothetical design possibilities within minutes. If I only I had an unlimited budget to make all of my design dreams come true.

Unfortunately, I don't, but I do have a solution to cure my design envy. I said it before and I'll say it again... 

Bargains and Buyouts is Cincinnati's best kept secret!

Here's why:

• You can find a wide variety of home decor items: furniture, rugs, artwork, patio furniture, pillows, lighting, mirrors, mattresses and a variety of "you never know" kind of items (e.g., kitchen sinks, electronics, even clothes).

• You can negotiate! Each price tag features the retail price and the Bargains and Buyouts price. Then you can negotiate on top of that. (Be sure to check out the pricing on the items from my first ever B&B haul.)

• They have a rewards program that allows you to pile on savings, even on top of your negotiated price. (Get more details here.)

• The sales associates are so nice! Seriously, I get great service every time I go. (Josh, the GM, is my man. Ask for him. He'll take care of you!)

I've outfitted my house with numerous Bargains and Buyouts finds. Honestly, not a week goes by that someone doesn't ask me about this store. (I'm sure some of you probably discovered Simply Sarah Style through my initial Bargains and Buyouts post that went wild on social.) 

Since discovering this store almost two years ago, I've partnered with the store owners to share my favorite finds with you. This time, I thought I would share some items I discovered on my last trip.

Wall Art

Love, love, love this mirror. Definitely contemplated taking this one home with me, but I couldn't decide where I would hang. I am haunted by the fact that I didn't buy this.

Another mirror with great personality. This would look fabulous in a half bath.

The Kentucky girl in me felt this was a noteworthy piece.

I was also drawn to this three-piece canvas. How enchanting! Again, my mind was rapidly touring the rooms in my house trying to find a spot for this gem.

Seating

Oh, so many fantastic seating options! This would be the perfect piece for the foot of a bed.

I seriously wanted both of these. Two very different styles, but equally swoon-worthy.

I couldn't help but love this small, cheerful patio set. I think Lilly Pulitzer would of had something similar.

More end-of-the bed seating options.

And look at this beauty! My mom tested out this timeless set. These say Ralph Lauren Polo to me...in a good way.

Textiles

You'll find rugs for days!

I'm kicking myself for not bringing this one back for my dining room.

Over-dyed rugs are all the rage.

I also thought this was a classic pattern. 

Storage 

So many stunning storage options! From bookcases to sideboards to side tables, you'll find plenty of options.

Again, kicking myself for not taking home the two pieces below.

How awesome would this look styled up in a kitchen? It reminds me of the one Kris from Driven by Decor has in her kitchen. I had to give this a good tug test to see if it would withstand the baby/crawler test.

Dine

Simple, clean lines. This would be great for an eat-in kitchen.

Rest

So many dreamy options...No pun intended.

This is the item I absolutely, without a doubt, wanted to take home, but it was already sold. It seriously miss having a footboard. This would have made all of my bedroom design dreams come true. 

You never know what deals you'll discover. Here's a snapshot of the offers available during my visit:
