Make Every Day a Fiesta

by Lindsay Ballard on April 15, 2013 2,293 Comments

When Tom and I got married, we combined two households like most couples do these days.  We actually did pretty well with furniture as we had plenty of room in our first apartment, but the kitchen was another story – two toasters, more frying pans than we needed and two sets of dishes and glassware.

Because I was in that honeymoon phase of our relationship, I agreed to get rid of my fun, colorful Crate & Barrel dishes for his plain, white dishes.  We’ve eaten off of those dishes for 9 years now.  The simple white dishes are perfect for every occasion, but I really wanted to see more color when I sat down at the dinner table.  I know that must surprise you, right?

I’ve been pinning some dream closets that have features I’d like to have in my own closet.  I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you.

This is how I organize my closet now – like garments hung together and sorted by color.  I think it’s a sickness, but I have to have my closet organized from light to dark.  And you people who throw your clothes on the floor?  Does not compute.  I had a college roommate who would hang her clothes inside out on the hangers if if that’s how they came out of the dryer.  Before seeing that, it had never occurred to me that someone might do that.  GASP!  College was a learning experience.
