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?

Oh, SNAP! I’ve Got Paint on the Brain

by Lindsay Ballard on April 8, 2013 2,381 Comments

I spend a lot of time thinking about paint.  If I want to be honest, I probably spend more time thinking about it than is healthy.  Whether you send me an email or are a random stranger at Home Depot, I’m always happy to pass along my advice or opinion.

If you are heading to the SNAP! Conference for creative bloggers in Salt Lake City next week, you’ll have the opportunity to hear it from the horse’s mouth.  My friend Diane from In My Own Style and I are leading a panel on everything you ever wanted to know about paint.  We’ll share with you our experiences (the good and the bad) with different products and take questions from the audience about personal projects.  Our panel is at 3:00 on Friday.  If you will be at SNAP, a) let me know and b) PLEASE come meet me!  I promise I’m really nice and approachable, and I’ll probably end up saying something stupid and unedited that you can laugh about.  That’s usually how it happens, anyway.
