Back to The Bachelorette ... You haven't gotten an update for a while!  As I mentioned earlier, we've been on hold ... but hopefully we'll be back in the swing of things soon.  The to-do list includes cushions for the dining chairs, pillows for the sofa and chair, a chaise for the office/second bedroom, and rugs.  We already have the fabric for the cushions and pillows, but I've been keeping an eye out for the other things.  The Bachelorette wants the chaise to serve as a restful place to read or meditate, but it needs to fit the space (obviously enough) and also be easy to clean (as her dachshund is likely to be fond of the chaise as well).  Well, a Ballard Designs catalog arrived in the mail over the weekend, and I think I found the perfect piece.  I need to check the measurements, but the size looks about right and the style is perfect.  The price is good, too - Ballard Designs offers a trade discount, and every bit helps.  I love the piping on the slipcover; it really gives the slipcover a much more custom look.  Either the khaki or the chocolate will look great.  The walls are painted Restoration Hardware's Atmosphere Blue, the trim is Benjamin Moore's Simply White, and the ceiling is Restoration Hardware's Seafoam.  What a comfortable little space this is going to be!
