Well it’s quite different over here.
I’m absolutely in love with the new look…what do you think???
There’s still the process of updating all the photos and organizing all posts under categories, but I think Tony did a great job of getting most all of it available to you. Until then, feel free to use one of the three search boxes or the archives if you’re looking for a specific post.
And Ashley rocked the look, right?!?
I’ll work on setting up our community so we can all help each other with current projects, dilemmas, solutions, etc. And that eBook is still coming, I promise!
I’m off to figure out this biz so we can hang out tomorrow for a long overdue furniture before and after. Let me know the minute you’re able to see the changes…even you guys across the ocean!
And let’s be honest. This was also a test to see if I could actually publish a post. Please let me know you’re there.

Tony did a GREAT JOB! I’m here. you rock. 😉
you do too!!! thanks for the holla back!
Thanks Ashley! You did an AWESOME job yourself! Thanks for all of your help!
LOVE it! Ashley has all kinds of tricks up her sleeve! I’m so impressed! Looks really professional but sweet too! 🙂
thanks, Erin!! I’m so glad you let me know you’re there. 🙂 Couldn’t help but be worried no one would find me again. And I hope sweet is a good thing. 😉
Love it! Congrats:)
Thanks Heather! Did your winner get with you? 🙂
Can I have your fence header? Love it, the look is 1000 more professional (not that the old look was bad by any means).
Thanks Jaime! I was pretty excited to get it finished….hadn’t made it over since I began blogging over a year ago. And I’m digging the planks, too. 🙂
It’s rockin for sure! What a wonderful new site you have here! I tried setting up wordpress on my own back in the day and was so terribly confused. I can’t wait until I can afford to have a designer just set it all up for me!
Love it!!!
Looks great! But I use google reader…. why this “read more” link thing? I rarely “read more” when posts show up like that, which eventually means I remove the subscription, so I hope that feature isn’t around to stay! Sorry.
not sure, but we’re working on fixing it. thanks for letting me know. 🙂

I agree with Jen. I am not a big fan of sites with read more and usually just stop subscribing b/c I find it irritating to have to click again once I am already on the site. Other than that though I love the new updates.
Thanks for your input Lesley. We’ve changed it to read the full post in your feeds if you subscribe with google reader, etc. The only place you’ll see separate post boxes is on the home page. I chose to do this because I do feel like it’s great for when we miss each other’s posts…I catch up with people all the time that way. Each individual post looks just like the “old me.” Thanks so much, 🙂 shaunna
It all so great Shaunna, love the color palette. Everything seems organized too. But I could not read it in my google reader. Not usually a problem unless I try to read blogs from my phone. It’s just easier to read on my phone when i can just scroll through my reader. It’s too hard to read blogs directly from their home page.
working on it! Thanks for letting me know, Anita!
I love the new look! It is so crisp and clean…perfect!
I love your blog, but am not that happy about the new look. Sorry. Just don’t like that “read more” thing, and not being able to just scroll down through the posts. Too commercial looking for me. You were quite beautiful, I thought, all on your own. Just bein’ honest here!
Just curious. What is the benefit of WordPress over Blogger or wherever you were? I am just starting and would prefer to start on a service that meets my needs from the get go.
I think it is really pretty, but I”m having a hard time reading the font—-it may just be my computer, but the font on the posts themselves is in such a light color that it is difficult to read. That is an easy “fix”, I think and otherwise I think it is really nice, especially the fence header!
Oh Shaunna it’s beautiful!!! When I switched to WordPress last year it was the best thing I ever did. I am so excited for you. I love the picture of you. But you left one thing out of your description of yourself….”friend” Love you! Lisa~
Lisa, thank you for just the sweet comment. That’s it. I needed it! 🙂 love you too!
LOVE the new look!
I always hate when a blog change and it’s so much to get used to but I LOVE the changes here! Chippy old wood? Yes, please!
Your comment made me smile so much! Thank you so much for being cheerful. Change is tough, but you are making it easy on this girl. 🙂 shaunna
WOW! It is a totally new look!!! Great picture of you! Have fun with this new blog!
Were here! And yes…LOVE the new layout!! Great idea…looks clean and its organized and makes sense. Very YOU! 🙂
Love the new look!
I’m here I like the organization of the blog
I like the new look, I just have a slight problem reading your posts because the print is so light. No t too sure if it is your website or my computer. I do love the colors though.
Hi there! Love the new layout and look. I must agree with Alaina..the font is a little light and is tough on the eyes. 🙂
XO

Love the new look! Clean, fresh, and just plain cool=)
It is beautiful!
I think the new look is fabulous and very you. I agree that the body font color is a little light and difficult to read. The organization of it all is great! And I especially LOVE the new header and your cute face!
Love the new look! It’s refreshing and clean. I even prefer the new color of your font…it’s softer…like a distressed piece of furniture 🙂
Welcome to WordPress! I moved over in Nov. and LOVE IT!! 🙂 Beautiful job Ashley!! 🙂
Yay! Loving it! I’m no blog expert by an stretch (only discovered blogs in the last few months!), but I’m so glad you switched to wordpress. Every blog I follow that uses blogger loads really slowly, if at all, usually only after several refreshes. Love seeing your sweet face on here, more personal.
Love the look!!
Jodi
I Love It…Think everyone did a great job.
Love it!
Wahoo!! Looks awesome!
Good Luck and I will come back often for a visit!
Love u, love your new site and there will always be complainers about the click more…however it looks organized and is way easier to read and scroll through. If readers don’t want to click more they were never meant to be your readers in the first place 😉 Hugs sister!
Shaunna, Looks amazing! Classy, fresh, clean, organized! Love it! Congrats!
your new site is wonderful! Congrats…. fresh starts and new looks are the best!
xo
Thanks so much. They are, right? 🙂

I love it Shaunna! When you mention Tony, I thought you were talking about the Tony I know! Love him! He did awesome! Love them! 🙂
I’m in love with it all ! GREAT job to you and your fabulous team!!

Love the new look! I’m a new reader and it’s nice to scroll down to see which old posts are of interest and can just read more if I want to. 🙂
