A Remake for Ren: Custom Blog Design

By Wanda

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!

    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!

      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.
