Oh, SNAP! I’ve Got Paint on the Brain

by Lindsay Ballard on April 8, 2013 10 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.

Now maybe you’re all, “Oh, Snap!  I’m not going to SNAP!”  No worries.  I have just shared my top five tips for making the process of painting go a little quicker.  You can find them here on the My Colortopia blog.  And if you have some more tips, please add them in the comments section of that post so that future painters can learn from you, too.
