I’m done!! Befuddled!! Bewildered!! Blurry-eyed!!
For the past 24 hours, I have been staring at color swatch after color swatch in an attempt to pick a new blog color scheme.
Why?
Because this DIY’er is finally handing the reins over to a professional and getting a big-girl design. I’m done with late night design tweaking and trying to figure out (AKA, “hacking”) design code.
Courtney Kirkland is set to take over soon but she needs one teeny-tiny bit of info from me … the color palette. The arrangement of colors that determine the direction of the design and the over all mood this blog will take.
Over these last few hours, I’ve come to realize something about myself: I have commitment issues.
Pick colors? Definitively choose a permanent look? I can’t!!!!!
I love and am drawn to so many different colors that trying to nail down “THE” scheme is near impossible.
So I turn to you … the people who (hopefully) read this blog.
What are YOUR favorite(s) out of the following, carefully culled palettes?
I need input!!!

Things to Consider:
I love lots of white space. The final colors chosen will be used minimally so as not to distract the eye.
This site has morphed into a pseudo-food blog over the years but I still blog about my Kidlets, hence the brighter colors I’ve picked.
I seriously cannot decide which direction to go. It’s just sad how indecisive I am when it comes to color. Sigh…
I will love you forever and like you for always if you can help me!

I love all of the colors personally the one on the top right I think fits you. Its girly and pretty and has a lit of colors you already use. I like them all though, you have such great taste!
My favs are 3, 5, and 9
.
I love numbers 3 and 9 also, but I think 3 is probably a winner for your personality like Kristin said. It’s so happy!
3 & 7
I like 3 and 8. They’re bright and girly and airy. Good luck!
YEP – 3 and 8 are my favorites too!
I thought 3 first, but do like 8. 6 is close to what you already have.
My two favorites are the ones with the kitchen stools & the one with the stack of bowls. You have great taste because all of them are great combinations. I’m just thinking of what catches my attention when I am reading a blog & what I tend to skim or even skip. The photographer in me likes the color pop if these two. Hope this helps.
My vote would be for #9 with #3 a close second. (Will still read no matter which you choose!).
#3!!!!!!
I love either the top left or the top bottom. I love the bright colors on the bottom. But I LOVE the colors on the top.
My favorite is 3….but I also like 5 and 9. I am the exact same as you – I can spend hours messing around with a site trying to make it “just right”. And having to commit to a look is so hard!! But, these are all great color combinations so you should be OK no matter what you choose!
3,5,7!
Three is my pic. Those colors are edible!
3, 4, 8, 9
My faves are 1 & 3!
I am brand new to your blog, but love your color choices here. My favorite is the bottom middle palette.
#3 is my favorite!
I am staying out of this one, because I’m in the same place and can’t commit to anything myself.
#3 is my favorite
I like Photo Card Design.
I like the palettes that have little pops of brightness to them.
I love the top right, so pretty!!
I love the one right in the middle.
I love this: http://pinterest.com/pin/245235142180410806/
I love the color you picked!! Very calming!
I love the bottom left two! She does great work. She did my theme!
My favorites are 6 and 7!
They all look great!
I totally love 5 and 6!
I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished? When will it be done?
I can’t wait to see your new look Rachel!
I love the palette in the center.
