IN HER SHOES: The Inside Stoop
Lindsey is the author of The Inside Stoop where she writes about her design finds and inspiration. I only recently found it, but it’s already become a daily read. If anyone knows about design trends and styles it would be her, because she works for HGTV in TV development! Cool, right?
She gets to watch TV, eat cupcakes and read blogs all while she is at work and she doesn’t get in trouble, because it’s her job. Sign me up! (I totally know it’s more complicated than that, but all of the above perks are super cool.)
I love coming up with new things whether it is a cool name for a nail polish that I think should be invented or show idea like one on HGTV starring my super handy husband and his sometimes nutty, but totally lovable wife, which means I was super interested in a day in Lindsey’s life. She gets to brainstorm all day on show ideas, search for new stars, tape with new stars and watch footage of existing HGTV shows.
I quickly emailed her and asked her to join in on the fun and she very quickly rose to the challenge.
So sit back, relax and enjoy a day in her life!

get to HGTV offices, check my email, head over to brian balthazar’s office. bri and i head down to mcdonalds where our favorite mcdonalds employee, Venus serves us two large diet cokes.
we all meet in brians office. each day someone brings in something pickled. brian and min believe that pickling is going to be the next big thing. today, brian brought purple pickled eggs. we eat the eggs, drink diet coke and watch the latest cut of Selling NY.
planning for my casting trip to Nashville next week: booking travel, making schedules for the shoot day. we found some great design talent there so i’m going to fly down there and shoot her doing a consult with one of her clients. can’t help but think about the biscuts at nashvilles loveless cafe. it’s the bonus feature of this casting trip.
conference call with the scripps production team. the view is playing on my tv in the background. who’s the guest today? pay attention to your call, lindsey.
he’s dreamy, funny and smart. We have this hat in the office, that has a wig attached to it. when ever someone comes by we make them put it on, take a picture of them and add it to a picture wall.
call courtney, who sits 3 feet away from me and talk about what we want for lunch today. conference brian in to get his take on lunch. dilly dally. grab some moshe’s falafel but realize that we also need something for our 3pm sweet tooth. swing by magnolia cupcakes and grab a tub of banana pudding, and some red velvet cupcakes cause why not?
while talking about casting for that show, we think of another new show idea that is even more awesome. 2:30PM

A big thanks to Lindsey for letting us in on the inner workings of one of our favorite networks.
Now I’ll just sit here waiting to see if her people call my people so that we can get the ball rolling on pitching a TV show. Ah a girl can dream… 🙂

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
What a total dream job! Lindsey are you hiring? 🙂
Um, could I please be Lindsey?!? That job sounds fab, and I'm totally going to have to check out her blog now. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
Okay, I'm in. Where do I sign up for that job? I love Scott from Income Property.
I think we are all going to be fighting for her job! Loved this post!!
Have a great weekend!

Ugh, Lindsey…HGTV is my favorite not-so-guilty pleasure. They ALWAYS pick the wrong house on House Hunters! Also, I am now obsessed with MyDeco.com. Thanks for sharing your day!
I do love Scott McGillivray! I actually wrote a blog post about him recently. Check it out.
