Today I am excited to be featuring the design of Amanda K. by the Bay. Amanda’s lovely blog was designed by Hannah of a cup of subtle tea, who happens to be located in Virginia just like me!
I think my favorite thing about this design is the color scheme. It’s feminine and fresh and punchy all at the same time. And I love this post on where the inspiration came from! I eat that stuff up. They did a great job of not over doing it on the bright colors and balancing them with lots of white space.
I also adore the header. Those waves add the perfect amount of whimsy and the typography is great. I like how the waves are really the only pattern that appears on the site- it helps keep everything clean and keeps the focus on them.
After looking at the site for a while, I noticed that the sidebar is on the left. I feel like you don’t see that all too often on blogs, and I think that subtle difference makes the blog stand out. And how great is it that Amanda’s lipstick totally coordinates with her blog design? Love it!
Make sure you check out Amanda and Hannah’s blogs!
