House Beautiful: 15 things that put a smile on their face

092611_house_beautiful_v3

We asked the home fashion aficionados at House Beautiful to peruse the pages of our Late Fall catalog and pick out 15 things that put a smile on their face. They came back with everything from a Crowned Santos figure and Suzanne Kasler Serving Bowl to a classic Rolltop Secretary. It made us smile just to read their answers and we can’t think of a better way to start your own holiday wish list. Start the countdown now »

    We have been collecting Ballard items for a year now – wouldn’t it be nice to be able to buy more than one piece at a time and finish a room. Our living room would be next with a rug, mirror and chairs. We also need chairs to go with our ‘farm table’. We’re aiming towards House Beautiful but we’re not there yet 🙂

    I love Ballard Designs! I purchased a slipcovered white chair with a ruffled skirt 10 years ago! I can’t tell you how many times I have laundered my WHITE slipcovered! With a chocolate Lab and 9 grandchildren too many to count! It has always retained it’s shape and brightness! My husband loves to read in this chair! It is our favorite chair in our home! I am always so excited when my catalog arrives! My wish list is endless! I always get great ideas as well! I love House Beautiful as well! Thanks!

    I must share this with my friend Lynn, right away. Just last night she was telling me about her falling in LOVE with the Ballard holiday catalog. She’s been talking about wanting a “Ballard” home for ever. I can’t wait for her to see this!

    I love the Turin Rug, the colors and texture are beautiful, along with the price. The Capri Chair collection is gorgeous. It brings the outdoors in yet, exudes luxury. Love that! I also love the Sydney Dining Table and Chair set– a beutiful table and chairs at a great price!

    I’m in the dreaming stage now. I’m focusing on me, making my little corner of the world beautiful. I want to buy so many things in the Ballard catalog but I’m broke, and filled with broken promises. I want to try one step at a time to rebuild, starting from within. Buying something wouldn’t hurt. Beautiful things inspire. The Biarritz mirrored console would be a good start, something in which to hold cherished memories. The mirrored door panels would help me reflect on the myriad of things I have around me and within.

    After years of dreaming of buying a house it came true in April and my first purchase to my self for buying my home was the ballad 3 Piece Grand Palais Mirror I saved for 6 months to get it. I was so happy had no furniture but had the mirror that I am so proud of. By far the most amazing mirror, it the center piece of my home.

    I absolutely love the benedetta double pedestal table, the Genevieve 12 light chandelier,the grande bouquet plaque, and the upholstered parsons chair. I also fell in love with the remington sold& damask bedding, this is something I have dreamed of having in my bedroom! As my fiancé and I are planning a wedding, I have picked out almost everything we are going to purchase once we find a new apartment!!!
