Style Studio - A DIY and Decorate-It-Yourself Resource

As you know, I recently purchased the Provost Plaque from Ballard Designs to fill in the space between my French doors and curtain rod in my livingroom. Click HERE if you missed the reveal.

Did you know that Ballard Design has a site called Style Studio which has decorating dilemmas and solutions, how to's, lots of inspiration and featured designers?

H
ave you ever wondered who creates all those beautiful rooms you see in the Ballard Designs catalog each month? Wouldn't that be the best job? You'll find that there too.

Along with award winning designer Susan Kaslar who decorates an entire house just for Ballard with a House Beautiful interview. So many images of gorgeous rooms for inspiration. I love all of the rooms but this one is my favorite. We have enough room to have an eat-in-kitchen so someday, this will be my inspiration:




There is also a section where you can see Ballard products in customers' homes. And guess what? I submitted mine and...

Roeshel has our Pruvost Plaque framing her French doors. An unexpected hanging place makes the Pruvost Plaque come alive, so naturally, we love her ingenuity!


You can also enter to win a room styled by Susan Kaslar! Details here.

The How-To Section has some tips for our favorite topic - DIY!
I think it's an interesting and helpful site full of helpful decorating tips and beautiful inspiration. Have you seen it? What do you think?

Just for fun...if you could have anything you wanted from Ballard Designs, free-of-charge what would you choose? I daydream all the time, so I already know I'd choose this and since we're dreaming, I'll take 2 sets of those with a side of these.

Ps. This isn't an advertisement! I did not get paid for this post. No specials, no discounts, no sponsorship or twisting my arm. I just wanted to share Style Studio with you.
