Our Story

From Tacos to Transformations: How Palatable Painting Was Born

From Culinary Creations to Color Consultations

My journey to Palatable Painting wasn't the most traditional one. We've had a lot of fun creating delicious food...

Interior design has always been my passion, especially the way lighting and paint color can completely transform a space. While my husband and I dabbled in the restaurant industry with a taco truck and even a brick-and-mortar in 2007 (a delicious adventure!), I knew I craved a creative outlet that tapped more into my design background.

He's my biggest cheerleader, recognizing my love for color and DIY projects. He often jokes that my "interior design degree is screaming to be used" - especially when it comes to my favorite aspects: lighting and paint color selection.

The Power of a Fresh Coat

I've always been captivated by the magic of paint. A simple repaint can breathe new life into a room, making even the most tired space feel fresh and renewed. In my own home, painting projects were a source of immense satisfaction (and maybe a few happy accidents along the way!).

Witnessing the transformation sparked a desire to share this joy with others. That's why I founded Palatable Painting - a company built on the belief that a fresh coat of paint, expertly applied and thoughtfully chosen, can truly transform a home.

From Passion Project to Color Confidence

Let's be honest, the world of running a painting company was new territory for me. Sure, I'd tackled personal projects here and there, but this was different. However, a friend, ever my champion, needed her cabinets painted, and I knew I couldn't resist.

The project, fueled by countless hours of research and a healthy dose of nervous excitement, turned out beautifully. It was a pivotal moment, boosting my confidence and solidifying my passion for this new path.

The Art of Color Expertise

As an interior designer with a keen eye for color (further honed by my True Colour Expert and CCE-Certified Color Expert certifications!), I understand the power of selecting the perfect palette. One client, for example, had her heart set on specific color samples, but I gently suggested they might clash with her existing furniture. Together, we explored alternative options, ultimately avoiding a costly color faux pas.

This experience solidified my belief that color expertise is just as important as painting itself. After all, a fresh coat of paint can revitalize a space, but the wrong color choice can leave you feeling less than thrilled. That's why color consultations are a core service at Palatable Painting - because a beautiful transformation deserves a palette that perfectly complements your vision.
