My blog has a new look, thanks to the talented Shari of little blue deer! The update is in preparation for a new project that is in the works, and I will share more about that next week.
In the meantime, can I point out a couple of my favorite features?
The button...pure button happiness I say!
And the sidebar frames: sometimes a bit of simple is all you need to feel happy! I love the angular lines and how they relate to the lines in the pattern seen on the header.
{again, thank you for reading my blog, dear followers!}
And speaking of the pattern on the header, look for my latest Houzz Ideabook tomorrow, in which I talk about Chinese Fretwork in design. I was inspired to find more examples of fretwork after Shari proposed this unique pattern, that I'm now quite infatuated with!
Here's to a great weekend...what do you have planned?

Very nice, Janell! I'm torn between the two designs though. I like them both, the old and the new! Shari is very talented. I went through her portfolio the other day. I may have to hire her myself:-)

Love it, Janell! And I love the framed sidebar headings, too. You're right, sometimes something so simple can make just the right amount of difference!

And ooooh how good it looks!! Love it. Is it bad that I'm already thinking of a redo for my blog?? I've been eyeing Shari..... Everything she touches is gold.

Very nice! I just had Shari redo my blog design last week and thoroughly enjoyed working with her, and the end result =)

Janell, I love it!! The cursive writing is so sweet. Your button is darling, too. Shari is wonderful! Happy Friday, friend!
How lovely. I liked the other one as well but you have my interest peaked with your mystery plans!
I have a new blog design as well, I won it. It is getting a few tweaks still as one of the fonts doesn't display well in full screen. BUT one day I will go for the full deal and get a whole overall blog design!
LOVE the new design! Looking forward to your news!
