Ballard Designs Hi Fans! With this cold weather among us all I want to do is cuddle up on some comfy seating! I love the idea of a chaise since I can completely stretch out on it. However, Sometimes I prefer the versatility of a chair and ottoman—ottomans make great optional seating when a room begins to get populated with guests! What are your thoughts?

We just had my mother-in-law's chaise refurbished. She had it since she was a young girl and now it sits in my playroom. I got the fabric at the Ballard Outlet at DeFoor Ave for $5 a yard (regularly $20!) so that made it even better. I love the chaise because my husband & I can stretch out on the chaise with one of the kids and read or watch a ... Read Moremovie. With ottomans I tend to use them to stack stuff but I would never pile stuff on a chaise. I think ottomans are great in a family room where you need lots of seating but a chaise looks great in a bedroom or sitting room.

Brenda Beatty I know typically when hanging a planter box below a window it should be the same width of the window, right? It is acceptable to hang the planter box below a window that is smaller than the planter box?

Hi Brenda! I asked on of our design team members your question. Here is what she had to say: It really depends on how much bigger the planter box is in relationship to the window. If it is more than 6” on either side of the window, I would say no. If it does overhang the window by more that 6” on each side, perhaps you can install shutters on the window to extend the width.

Courtney Wilson Im super interested in the Baldwin piped slip cover for a chaise i have that is not from Ballard...the deminsions of my chaise are smaller than the Baldwin. Can I have it tailored to fit my chaise? Or is that a bad idea? I know slipcovers always get a bad rap....

Hi Courtney! I asked a member of our design team your question and here is her answer for you: As much as we would like for her to have one of our piped slipcovers, it is just not a good idea to try and tailor one, unless you know what you are doing – you could end up with a huge mess and a slipcover that doesn... Read More’t fit. Our suggestion is to find someone local to make a slipcover with piping – if you give them a picture of our piped slips, we are sure they can make it for you. You can purchase Ballard fabric for the slip, so that you truly have the same look. I would check with the local fabric store in your area for people who make slipcovers. Our slipcovers are made specifically for our furniture so that they are truly a custom fit, so trying to make it work on another piece, just may not work.

Ballard Designs Sunsets? Yesterday someone tweeted they were so fortunate to be catching the sunset over NYC from their office, another said they needed to step outside to gain inspiration from the sunset/sky and while walking in the office I happen to catch a smile-sparking sunset. I love how the cool tones slowly evolve into the fieriest of shades. Have you ever been inspired by the sky or the sunset in a design project?

Ballard Designs Happy Monday Fans! This weekend I thought about wood finishes. I loved painted furniture, yet there is something special about a piece of wood in its natural tone. From a rustic-unfinished piece to a rich mahogany, each wood finish has its own character. All the natural lines and grains that show through are incredibly beautiful. What do you think, sticking to white and black, or does a warm walnut fit your style?

I didn't know my husband had a saw until we were married for a couple of years, so that takes care of the debate on whether or not something gets painted. Used to only like light wood but am gravitating towards the dark woods -- probably all the advertising got into my head. Mind Control is alive and working!

Clare I just received two Addison Table Lamps for my bedroom and they look fantastic. I have been purchasing wonderful things from Ballard Designs since 2005 and I have never been disappointed. I've attached a picture. You will also notice my end tables are Marissa Petite Dressers. I've got Ballard stuff all over my house.

Thanks. The shades bring out the maple color of my Mother's bed and cedar chest. That's why I fell in love with them.
