New ohbrooke Blog Design
I am quite possibly my own worst client. the WORST. But because I’m a glutton for punishment and have had these darn bees in my bonnet for such a long time, I finally committed to a new blog design. Well, sort of. I’ve put most of the changes in place but will forever be fiddling.
You can find the most popular posts in the sidebar.
There’s room for more sponsors in the sidebar.
You can search easily through archives of the most popular post categories up in the header.
I’m *working* on a home tour… that’ll be here soon. I realized it was far easier to clean one room at a time and shoot it rather than have the whole house clean, because with my schedule, it just ain’t happenin’. But I do have before pictures and even I forgot the depth of the transformation. I’m excited to share.
And just for old times… here’s a shot of what the blog USED to look like {for those of you in your readers, click over and check out the new digs}:
Oh, and if you’re using Internet Explorer version 6 {you can find out by going to Help/About Internet Expolorer} PLEASE UPGRADE! PRETTY PLEASE!!!
sorry… that got ugly.

Love the new layout and how you have the pretty pictures and categories at the tippy top, but I do miss the photo of you. :)
Looks great!

I am loving the new site. I liked the other one too but I totally understand the whole blog design itch that should always be scratched. I say change blog designs like you change outfits. Love it!
Love the new look! ^_^
Love the new look!
Since Im reading from work (old IE version) Im not seeing it properly but Im sure its gorgeous.
Im kind of itching for a blog redesign but dont know the first thing about coding – do you do those or do you have anyone you can recommend for that kind of thing?
Thanks everyone! It’s infinitely hard to design for myself, but so far I’m happy with the new white layout.
@mrslimestone – I can help you with a redesign. Send me an email when you’re ready!
Brooke! It’s adorable! I love that gray banner print at the top. So lovely and fresh!
I love the new look! The Olra Kiely pattern is so pretty :)
You are on a “yellows and greys (with a small burst of bright color)” kick just like I’m obsessed with yellows and aquas right now (going on over 9 months…). Your new design is so pretty :)
yay! it looks fabulous!!
Oh, Brooke! The new design looks great! And, I gotta say, I’m glad you’re a worse client than I am! (Don’t disabuse me of that notion if it’s not true!)
Loving the pregnancy updates, too.
I love it! And holy-moly did you slice your blogroll by 75% or what?
I’ve been itching for a new design for a while now, too.
I love the new look! Love the colours and really easy to find everything.
So glad I came across your blog today, love your new design, although I do love the bird on your old one too!

I love the new design! Seems like there’s so much more you can do with Wordpress than Blogger….hmmm…might need to make the switch!
Just stumbled on your site today! Love it all!! Great design….Very inspiring…
