makeover




Sometimes some scrubbing up and retooling does a face good.  I realized the other day that I had been using the same template for a couple of years and felt like it was time for a change.

Last night we had to move all of the boxes back into our house that we had moved out a couple of months ago in anticipation of eventually moving.  The place where we were storing things is being sold and needed to be emptied out.  It felt so wrong to move boxes of stuff back in, right when I was getting comfortable with them being out.

Maybe my makeover here is in direct reaction to that.  I am not sure.  I am also really into the gallery look right now, so I am thinking some painting of walls is in my future.  I am leaning toward a soft white, since my furniture is all chocolate brown.  Let things pop out and say something.  Art, pottery, photos on the wall.  Make a statement.

Scream it out loud.

My furniture is chocolate brown as well. Very earthy and comforting.

I love the blue of your shirt--and the awesomeness of the woman in it. :) Good luck with your move.

How do you find the time and the energy? Moving boxes, doing a photo shoot, redoing your blog template . . .I look forward to seeing pics of the new gallery look. I think that would be very cool and will make thing look bigger, too.

So does this mean the move is not imminent? And do we believe that I spelled imminent correctly on the first go? I love your makeover. It is perfect. Clean and classy, much like yourself. XO

You have the most rockin' cheekbones.

Thanks for the encouragement, Heidi. I make lots of big plans, but not all of it gets done. I am getting a hankering to paint though!

Becca, you smarty pants!

Kristina... I blush!

Your creativity is finding new and wonderful routes!

I was thinking the same thing. How do you find the time to do some many things? I love the pictures on the side bar (over there -> ->) especially the blue. Again, I love your new blog look.

I adore the new look! The pictures, the words, a perfect reminder.

Totally digging the new look over here Kaz! I wish I was moving. I need to shake things up a bit and a move would be just the ticket.

Bummer about the boxes.
Lovin the new design...fresh and fun.
Redesigning is a cool distraction from the boxes! There is nothing better than chocolate brown.Then maybe eating the chocolate.
