I have blogged about the Ballard Outlet before, and went there this past weekend to see if they had anything good.  I discovered a whole section of shelves that had slipcovers that work on my Arhaus Baldwin sofa and chair.  Better yet, these already-marked-down slipcovers were an additional 50% off.<\/p>\n

Which means I got two<\/strong> slipcovers for my Baldwin chair for… (wait for it)… $75.  Total<\/em><\/strong>.  <\/p>\n

Say what?  <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Which also means that my chair looks much better.  And, it’s better equipped to deal with the boys who wear the crap out of it in the basement.  (And I have a backup slipcover in a lovely camel color with white piping).<\/p>\n

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  The Baldwin slipcovers from Ballard fit the Baldwin furniture from Arhaus.<\/em>  I don’t know if Ballard and\/or Arhaus will ever acknowledge this, but I am.  (Actually, when I bought our sofa from Arhaus, it was called “Wake Ivory” vs. “Baldwin”.  You’d think Arhaus would be a little less obvious about it with the name change.)  You can see the slipcover I bought from the Ballard Outlet for my sofa here<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

So, instead of paying a bajillion dollars for a new, custom Arhaus slipcover, pick up one or two or seven<\/strike> at the outlet for crazy cheap.  (Heck, even ordering a replacement slipcover from the Ballard catalog is cheaper).  Not that I don’t love Arhaus.  I do.<\/em>  But I also love deals.  <\/p>\n

Have you found any deals worth shouting about lately?<\/p>\n
