I don’t know how to put this, but I’m kind of a big deal. People know me. I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. -Ron Burgundy
Okay, not really. I don’t have any leather bound books, I don’t live in an apartment, and I don’t have any mahogany furniture. But, I do have my picture in the September 2012 issue of House Beautiful. And on the second page of the Color issue, nonetheless!
Isn’t that so cool? You can even lift up a little flap under under my face to read a notable quotable about my color inspirations.
I may have bought five copies for myself. When Zack asked why, I replied, “So you can have one when you get married.” Obviously I was joking, but he thought that was a very reasonable response. I honestly don’t know why I bought so many copies, but I just felt like I should.
And if that wasn’t one of the most exciting things to happen, Glidden has released the second of the videos that the amazing video crew came to our house to shoot. This one features me talking about where I find inspiration, visiting some of my favorite places around Austin, and me just being goofy with my kids. The first video, where I talk about finding inspiration for decorating your nursery, can be found here.
It’s less than 2 minutes long, and I’d love if you’d take a little time and check it out. It was so fun to work on, and they did a great job showcasing my true personality.
Thanks for being here and supporting me and this blog, you guys! I’ve got some big things coming in the next few months, so hang on for the wild ride!
That is WONDERFUL LINDSAY! Congratulations! How fun that must have been to do! Here’s to hoping you do more! YAY!

Hard work and creativity got you there! Enjoy and bask. I really enjoy yours and others blogs. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

Hi Lindsay,
Congratulations, so well deserved!!! I’ve been a follower of yours for a few months now and I’m so happy I found you! Your mind’s eye, as in your God-given talent is amazing. You’ve been an inspiration since the first blog I read. So much so I am itching to start my own project. I have an antique chest of drawers and vanity that my late father had gifted years ago. They are structurally beautiful but nicked and banged up over the years. I’m thinking of leafing or painting them, I’m just not sure of the color scheme of my room yet. I’d like to make an attempt at coordinating the colors and fabric. However, I may throw up the white flag and reach out to you for help!
Thanks again for a tremendous blog, I love it!
Gina
Wonderful, Gina! I say go for it. I’m always here if you want to bounce ideas off of me or ask for some pointers. I live and breathe this stuff!
I also appreciate your sweet comments. I’m so glad you’re here!
Lindsay, you are in inspiration to us all! Thank you so much for creating a space for us to find awesome projects, fun writing, and lovely personality. 🙂 You are awesome — congratulations!
Thank YOU so much, Maria!
Congratulations, Lindsay! I’m so proud of you. I’m going to have to go get myself a copy!
Thank you, Becky! 🙂
Congratulations Lindsay! Actually you deserve “Hours of Fame” because you are fantastic!
LOL Thank you, Roseli!
Congrats Lindsay (btw – that is my middle name!)
Great video! I’m getting ready to tackle repainting a piece of furniture in a wildly bright color. Your blog truly inspires.
Blessings,
Adrienne
Thanks, Adrienne! I’d love to see your piece when you are finished. You know I dig “wildly bright.” 😀
Awesome! Love the video–too short! lol
Ha! Thanks, Katherine! Believe it or not, it took about 12 hours to shoot that 2 minute video. I don’t know how TV people do it!
Congrats!!!! Love your video!
Thank you very much, Heather!
Hi Lindsay,
I just got my House Beautiful, saw you on second page with the Colortopia Team and immediately went to your blog. I love the fabric you have on the opposite side of your comment about your favorite color. Can you tell me the name of that fabric and who makes it? I have now read your blog and have added it to my favorites. I love your blog – you have great taste and ideas. I know I will be reading you all the time now and definately will use your brillant ideas!
Thanks,
Janet
Hi Janet,
I am so glad you found me. How fun!
The pillows in the picture are a pair I found at Z Gallerie. But, I just did some detective work and tracked down the fabric for you. It’s by Waverly and is called Solar Flair in the Onyx/Lilac colorway.
Here’s a link to an online shop that sells the fabric. I didn’t search for the best price, so you may want to do a little more searching to see if you can find it cheaper. http://www.housefabric.com/Solar-Flair-Onyx-Lilac-P4100.aspx
I hope that helps. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on future projects. Welcome!
Lindsay
Lindsay,
I’ve been following you for several years now. I open my House Beautiful Magazine today and there you are! Way to go. Enjoy your fame, it could happen to better designer and mom!
Oh, thank you, Debbi! You are too sweet. It’s so nice to see your name come through my email. I hope you are doing well!
Great job, Lindsay! So happy for you! I love following along with you on your journey and am always inspired by your creativity! You are just fantastic–and a TOTALLY big deal! 😉
Thanks, Holly!!!
Proud of my famous friend. 🙂
