Ballard Designs is hit or miss, but the new Lily Tray Table ($159) is a winner. The tray table folds up, so you can hang it when it's not in use, making it ideal for small studios. But it's no TV-dinner tray.

The entry is a perfect spot for a wall mirror, such as this Ballard Designs Beaded Mirror. It's essential for one last look-see before you run out the door, to make sure your lipstick's perfect and your hair is well coiffed.

Dhurrie rugs are flat, woven cotton rugs that originated in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and Tibet, a cousin of the Kilim rug, which is oh-so-popular these days. But the great thing about them is that they're reversible, so you can flip 'em before they need to be cleaned. Since they tend to have soft, pastel colors, this new Ballard Designs Elina Dhurrie Rug ($69-$699) with its black geometric pattern is a departure from the norm, but I love it all the same.

A dress form can be a quirky design accessory, and if you're crafty, it's helpful too. I just bought this 1920s-era dress form from a friend, and I am absolutely in love with it. If you don't have room for an actual dress form, you can get the next best thing with Ballard Designs Laundry Room Prints ($49-89).

I've been looking for a hall table for a while, and I wish that the MacMillan Side Table (originally $299.99, on sale for $119.99) was the right size for my hall. Alas, it's not, which means I'm offering it up to you. I love its wishbone pedestal design and light finish color.
