I'm experimenting.
I think I want to simplify my blog. I love turquoise, but the other background was a bit more shabby chic than funky junk me. So I'm going with a plain white - showcase my not so amazing pictures and my funny stories.
*Google Images - however - it looks like this in Central IL right now*
What do you think? Is it better? Do you like it or do you like the old bling?
i like the old bling better... but i understand what you mean... the white weird's me out!! you need color:O)
ReplyDeleteI know - I just can't decide! I kind of like the freeness of white because it's easy to read & no waiting on any loading. However, I am such a color person - what to do what to do! I wish I could just have a colored plain background - that's what I need :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pic below of the cow painting hung in the screen, I vote for something like that.
ReplyDeleteI know right!?! That's my style dead on so I need something like that...until then I think I'll stick with the white until something funky pops up to surprise me.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever read Meg's blog megduerksen.typepad.com? That girls LOVES some funky color, let me tell you! But she has a white background. I really think that makes all her posts with color and buttons, and her header etc really pop out. Tasteful, but full of some color bling! Check it out. Seems pretty cool. ~mary~
ReplyDeleteMaybe change your header up a little. Get something really full of color. That ones seems so 'tame' for what I know of you. hahahaha...~mary~
ReplyDeleteOK I have never seen Meg's blog, but I now adore her - it's fabulous - I love it and the color! Thanks Mary - that's definitely what I need to do!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking at your blog earlier today I had the same exact thought that your decor and colorful way remind me so much of Megan at Whatever! So funny that Mary just said the same thing. ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree- the white is a great back-drop for all the color. I keep my blog so pared down and white and sort of "blah", because the "point" of mine (does it really have a point?!?!) is for my words/photos. I feel like all of the extras can start to seem distracting.
Just my $0.02!
ps- Love that colored thread!
Dang girl, you work fast???? Love it! And Shannan...what that phrase??....great minds think alike?? hahaha ~mary~
ReplyDeletei like your new photo at the top! Maybe not totally white, but I like the bones better---too much frou frou just gives me a head ache. Not that it was frou frou---just that I prefer minimalism and clean lines in a blog!
ReplyDeleteBetter with the thread... I agree it makes pictures show up better with the white.
ReplyDeleteHi Annie,
ReplyDeleteYou made a very sweet comment on my blog a couple days back with the blog party!
I am just now heading over...sorry!
I think that you should keep it white. I know it is boring but then everyone can focus on your pictures. I just went white and I think that I like it better too, but I had to let go of my creativeness that I had with the decor style.
Very sweet engagement story too :)
I think I like it a lot better too! Thanks for all the ideas & especially the Megan inspiration - much needed for me!
ReplyDeletenow i'm jealous....but dont know how to do anything to mine.
