My mom, a interior designer and antique dealer, has always sworn by Ballard Designs. Not so much to furnish your whole home–can you imagine a room filled with those godforsaken beskirted tables?–but for accent pieces and furniture that are useful, attractive, and pretty reasonably priced (one of my friends joked that BD was the place to go in Atlanta when you wanted a white couch, which BD sold in 87 different versions). Then dearly departed Domino Magazine got in on the act, styling some rooms for the BD catalog. But because I spent a large portion of my early life repudiating anything my mother liked, I never paid attention to poor Ballard Designs. My loss, because they’re selling some really good stuff.

It’s only Tuesday? What? Damn.
