Out with the old...
And in with the new...
If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time at all then you'll probably know that I like to redesign on a whim. I think it's a designer's curse. I had some spare time today (and by that I mean I had about fifteen other things I should've been doing) so I decided to take a tossed mock up from a previous client to give it some life. I first did this roundabout design for a client who later decided on something much more simplified. Not very much changed on LCH actually. Just the top navigation and banner, and then some green in place of the pink. I liked the simplicity of my other layout, but I wanted something fresh and colorful for Spring. I know it's a lot to take it... it's a little bit overwhelming. But that's kind of what I like. When I undoubtedly get tired of this version I'll probably swap back to the simplified one, but until then, here you have it! I realize some of you aren't going to like it, or are going to prefer the old look, but that's okay. This is what it looks like for now ;)
If you're in the market for a redesign, feel free to email me at kaelahbee (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm booked through most of April but I'll gladly jot you down! xo
I really love this one. I have been feeling those re-design pangs lately....
ReplyDeleteKaelah! This is so cute! I wish I had time to revamp mine. It needs it desperately. But this is lovely, lady. :]
ReplyDeletelove the new design! check out my new one!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I've been working on a redesign for my blog, too, although every new layout I do seems to literally take about a year.
ReplyDeleteso pretty!! very spring-y ;) the scalloped lacey borders are my fave.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I don't think it is overwhelming at all. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's very spring like but I liked the original color scheme better.
ReplyDeleteVariety of opinion is always welcome :) But I needed a fresh splash of color in order to stay inspired :)
Deletecute. i'm still partial to the old layout (the green color/beige font are hard to read but it might just be my bad eyes). and love the scallop.lace edges.
ReplyDeleteKept that in mind and just updated the layout with a darker green, both on the sidebar banners and the nav bar! :)
DeleteIt's beautiful! Yes,I'll have to agree with Meg @ Mr. C & Me about the green color/beige font. Otherwise,it's great!! I love your work,too. :)
ReplyDeleteJust updated to a deeper green to help alleviate that!
DeleteI just recently tweaked my own blog a bit, too. I like yours! :) Sometimes you just get that itch to go through and change it all though, you know??

I love it! I love how simple and beautiful it is. And everything is still really easy to read :)
ReplyDeletei think it's lovely :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the touch of green you added! That's such an infrequently used (and too frequently ignored) shade. The new look is killer; nicely done!
ReplyDeletei really, really liked your last look but this is amazing! i like how the flowers fall over the navigation bar. really amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love this..I gasped when I saw it. Good job :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so different from anything I've ever seen on your site before. I love it!

Pretty pretty! I like the green for spring. Glad someone else gets bored as well. I redid mine a week ago and feel so much better (although I'm working with significantly less skill than you! You inspired me to learn a little about html so thank you!)

Ooooh, I LOVE it! So fresh & springy!
ReplyDeleteI adore the new layout, especially the banner and the lacy edges. It's perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!! Very springy + fresh!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I loved the last design, but this feels more "grown up". <3!
ReplyDeleteI love the green that you've used in the revamp.
ReplyDeleteAlso, wanted to let you know that your webstagram link isn't working.
WOW!!!!!! I LOVE the face lift SO MUCH! Awesome job, Kaelah. Love love LOVE IT. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is extremely Spring-y! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI always love when something looks like it's been painted on!
Loving the new look!! My favorite is the green that gives it a fresh tint and also the new lace border is lovely. The flowers on top are a bit much, but oh so springy!! It is also a good start for seasonal banners, just change the flowers in the summer to something different - maybe a honeybee :)
ReplyDeleteAnja
I love it! Those big soft flowers are so retro.
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty! Hooray!~
