Facebook and Pinterest Love

Things are changing around here at Cre8tive.   Thanks to my nephew Brady, my new assistant, I went to a two column layout, which I love so much better.   I think it is so much easier to read a two column site, the pictures look better, the text doesn’t look like you are writing a book when you post a paragraph, it all just flows so much better.  We are still working on a few things, but overall I am very happy with the layout and flow of how it all looks. We even upgraded to a mobile version to make it easier to read my blog on a mobile device.  Oh I just love the minds of the young, they make it look so easy, I am going to be so high tech around here having Brady helping me with all those technical things I am challenged in, blogging life is so much better now that I have him.

I also finally got around to adding the links to the articles on my side bar that Houzz has featured on my design work

8 Elements of a Modern kitchen

Kitchen of the Week

It is such an honor to be included in their Feature Ideabooks, it’s time I showcased them.  The one about Shannon and Nate’s kitchen was a surprise because the author wrote it as if Shannon and I were the only ones that did all the work.  Luckily, Nate didn’t get his feelings hurt.

I also have a new button on the sidebar that shows my recent pins on Pinterest,  the pictures change daily, sometimes hourly because I am ALWAYS pinning.  I don’t just pin for me, I found it is a great way pin great deals on items I come across, ideas on how to use them, or ways to create the look.  Like this beautiful throw I found on Fab.com

I have been using my Facebook page  A LOT more as well.  I don’t know why I haven’t used Facebook in the past.  But now I realize it is a quick and easy way to post progress pictures of the stuff I am working on that I usually don’t get around to putting on my blog.

Like the headboard I am working on that I shared last week on my Facebook page

Or like the fabrics I just ordered from Calico Corners for to freshen up the living room at our River house

I am challenged when it comes to writing posts on my blog, but I have SO much to share when it comes to design and ideas!  I thought the only way for me to that was through my blog, but now I realize social media is really where I am more comfortable.  I don’t feel the pressure when I pin on Pinterest or post on Facebook like I do when I write a post.  The funny thing is, I have more followers on Pinterest and Facebook than I do on my blog.  I am pretty sure that is because I interact and use those two sites a lot more than my one or two posts a week on my blog.  So if you really want to know what I am up to or what great deals I find, you can follow me on Facebook or Pinterest.  You will see I have a lot more ideas and projects going on than what I show here on my blog, plus I love the quick interact you get using Facebook.  I can’t wait to get more acquainted with you!

PS…how do you like the new layout?
