Header Love AND New Look for My Blog!



I found another old header that was completely intact!







And I fell in love.













Here it is after I had my young and cute, handy dandy handyman put trim on the bottom and sides to hide the construction. A lot of people would have left it as is, but I wanted to refine it a bit.

A bit of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, and both her dark and clear waxes later...



Next, I added a saying that truly is how I feel about my married life...



Then, up on the wall above my shutter headboard!

I did have a different header up there called the Lincoln header that you can read about HERE, but I sold that one and am enjoying this 'new' old one!



Next, I want to thank two people. The first is Carolyn over at her Homework blog that you can visit HERE. She has a blog packed full of inspiration and fun parties! Carolyn had a giveaway of a complete blog redesign worth $125 from the talented Melissa at Cherry On Top Blog Shoppe.

Happily, I WON this giveaway and if you didn't already notice, I now have a new, improved and clean look to my blog! I even have a new 'button'!



I want to tell you more about how wonderful it is working with Melissa. If you want an affordable, new, professional look that is clean and shows what you're all about, just ask Melissa for her expertise and creativity. She starts off with a questionnaire to understand what your likes are, as well as preferences and in a way, "gets into your head" to come up with a creative, clean cut blog design that no one else has and that was made just for you. She is quick and allows feedback about any changes to be made. Melissa is so easy to work with and it's kinda weird to never have met her face to face but she got me and quickly! She is destined for success and thanks to her, my blog is easy to navigate, cleaner looking and focuses more on my content than all the fluff around it! Please, contact her today and you will be so pleased with what she can do for you. Just take the time to stop over and visit her portfolio Here!
