Design Inspiration: And Everything Nice

Design Inspiration

6 Feb

I received a nice comment on my blog from Anna last week.  I headed over to her blog, And Everything Nice, and was instantly struck by how adorable it was.  It’s clean and fresh, but still feminine with some vintage details.

And Everything Nice

My favorite thing about this design is the color scheme.  It’s so simple.  One bright and charming color and shades of gray.  The pink is prominent but used sparingly.  I think strategy makes everything look uniform and cohesive.

I also really like the fabric details on her blog.  Fabric and stitch details are pretty common on blog designs these days, but the way Anna used them on her blog makes them look graphic instead of cutesy, which I like.  The slanted dash line reminds me of stitching and is used on her header and on her background, and then there are dashed lines on the Est. 2010 detail (which is one of my favorite things about the design!)

I love the fonts used one this site.  I am head over heels for the calligraphy font used on the header and the menu (I believe it’s Carolyna Pro?  I die.)  The calligraphy font makes everything vintage and whimsical, and then the simple and bold fonts used as accents which helps everything look clean and modern.  Perfect.

Make sure you head on over to And Everything Nice to check out the prettiness for yourself!

    Very very pretty! I too love the font and how she used simple stitches to really bring her header out more.

      Me too, I had the post all planned out and then I retook the screenshot this morning because I thought that her post today was just too cute to pass up!

    Kate, thank you so much for this super sweet feature! I’m beyond flattered. And you’re correct, it’s carolyna pro. There are so many variations with this font. :)
