A New Look… Again?

Just like my ever evolving home decor in my house, my blog has been changing a lot lately too. I am a very creative soul who is constantly trying to find myself with a million ideas running through my mind. This can be good & bad. It’s great when I can get my thoughts in a row and execute what my ideas are, it’s bad when my mind keeps changing. I can’t say this enough, I think I say this at least once a day to others: “It’s hard to design your own space.” It’s easy to tell others how their spaces should look, but when it comes to your own space it’s hard to make decisions & even harder to not keep changing your mind. That’s true for my blog as well. My blog is my creative outlet where I show a glimpse of my creative side. I want it to reflect me, but also not be overpowering so that it overpowers my posts. Not too much to ask right?  My wonderful friend Nina of Nina Randone Graphic Design helped me out so much by designing this wonderful new blog look for me.

The process was quick and painless. She is very experienced in branding for both large & small companies & I felt at ease giving her this huge responsibility in making my blog something I loved. That’s my number one tip for finding a designer for your blog: Find someone you are comfortable with & that you believe fully grasps or has your style that you are looking for. My first step with Nina was creating a Pinterest board where we both pinned ideas that inspired the design for my blog. She then created a mood board for me with the pins in mind to truly get the direction that we were going to take in the blog design. I think it’s a genius idea that she looked into some of my favorite designs, fashion trends, home decor favorites, & more to see the direction we should take with the blog.

After we had pinned for a few days and discussed ideas over email, she sent me a few proofs for the blog. I WAS IN LOVE. It was almost like she had read my mind. She created a design that was warm and inviting, & also showed a part of my creative mind. I’m so thankful for the new blog design {& the new Facebook design, head on over & take a look!} What do you guys think about the new look? I would love to hear from you. & be sure to head on over to Nina’s facebook page  & tell her what you think of the new look. Talk to you soon!
