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!

      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.
