Honeybee's New Look!

I've been working on a redesign for a little bit, but I scraped it all this morning and started fresh! The fact I manage to start, design, code and install in just a handful of hours is kind of amazing to me (While I tend to work fairly quickly, I always second guess myself and trash it!). LCH has been rocking the pink + blue since last December and she's gotten some updates here and there such as headers, fun navigation and even the frilly little scallops. I've loved that little layout and it was very representative of my personality, but it was time for something fresh... something a little more mature. This layout isn't perfect, and I'll work out the kinks when I can, but here she is! A fresh new face! 

If you're reading this in Google Reader or BlogLovin, feel free to pop over and see for yourself! It's a world of difference!

Here's the old layout, and the new, in case you're just joining us:

Woo-wee! Wedding Wednesday will have to wait until next week. When I get on a roll I simply can't stop! xo

What do you think of the redesign?

PS; If you see any bugs or kinks to be ironed out, let me know! I know there are a handful and I promise to get to them as soon as possible! (FYI - the navigation pages have not been updated yet! Working on those designs now!)

PPS; If you're blogging on the Blogger platform and you'd like a fresh new look for your space, email me at kaelahbee at gmail dot com! I'm booking a few clients for November!

    I love it! I love the more "mature" look. Tan & blue are such a great combo

    I love it. The green/cream color scheme, the eyelet detail, it all looks great! :)

    I'm the same way, when I get going I can't stop. That's why I try not to start a blog make-over project unless I have at least a 4 hour window of free time!

    The green is so lovely! It always has a more gentle, serene look.

    The text under your image on the left side is a tad small though.

    Giggity! I'm not sure but it reminds me a little of mine! Not my blog.. I don't use blogger either. I use wordpress but I mean my color scheme and things in general. The font even looks like my logo's Dawning of a New Day? or something. hah. It is adorable, of course! I love both designs and color schemes.

    awww...i miss the spunky pop-at-cha design...But this one looks nice as well. It is a little more refined and "mature" looking, but......the other one seemed more personal and artistic. :)

    It's very clean and simple but girly at the same time. I've seen a lot of the center image banners and I think they look very professional. I was wonder if you still did signatures for the end of blogs post?

    Love the new look, feels very sophisticated but still very fun and flirty. I am obsessed with the unsaturated turquoise that you used.
