warm welcome



Last year we bought, renovated and moved into a mid-century traditional home in central Austin. And , may I say, we are in LOVE with our new house and neighborhood!
Over the next few months, I'll share pics of our renovation... but I thought the best way to welcome you to my blog would be the front door.
It was hard to decide what hue would bring people in our door. I finally settled on a color match  of Scarlet Sun by Valspar. With just a few flicks of a paint roller, our exterior came alive! The existing brass lion doorknocker helped too.
Come on in!

new beginnings



Easter is the heart of Spring... Spring means new beginnings. So let's get this thing going!

My hope is that this new blog, colorinthecircle, will be a springboard and catch-all drawer for my seedling of a design business, Lindsey Hanna Design.  Here my projects, inspirations, frustrations, wishes, and unrelenting love of all things for the home will play out...

1809west will still be on the shelf, an archive of recipes and tidbits of info that I still refer to when I can't find a hardcopy of that delicious chicken piccata recipe from Gourmet circa 2001.

colorinthecircle is the next chapter- a vibrant collection of design ephemera!

Happy Spring!
