I recently had the pleasure of launching a blog redesign for Ren’s blog, Consider the Lilies. She was one of the winners of the Spring Bless Your Blog Makeover co-hosted by Prayer Notes by Cynthia and The Watered Soul.
Here’s how Ren’s blog looked before her Spring makeover.
And here’s a look at the after shot.
For her makeover, I chose to use a teal blue and yellow color scheme. She was open to anything except for orange and neon colors. We gave her blog a new personality by including the following in her custom blog design:
- Changed her sidebar to the right side giving her posts the main attention since we typically read from left to right
- Created a custom header that incorporated the use of lilies to coordinate with her blog’s name
- Used a two-tone teal chevron background
- Created a stylized about me profile image rather than using the standard blogger profile image
- Designed a coordinating grab button { she was delighted to get her very own blog button}
- Created a custom post signature for her that now displays at the end of every post
- Customized her blog’s favicon (the small image that displays at the top of the tab when you open a website) rather than using the default B blogger favicon
Here’s what Ren had to say about her new design
It’s just perfect.. I love everything about it.. Especially now that I have my own button (I have no idea how to make one, so I’m super excited)!
The best part? It’s one of a kind 🙂 Custom made just for me.. Yay! – Ren at Consider the Lilies
Stop by her blog home to check out her new digs in action. And if you’re interested in giving your blog a custom look, contact me. I’d love to work you!
Ren says
Soo happy with my blog! I don’t think I will ever get tired of it, but if I do, I know who to go to!
Wanda says
Glad you like it Ren. I’m sure at some point you’ll be ready to redecorate, if you’re like most of us girls. I need to do a little redecorating at my own blog.
