Change is good right? Boy have I gone through a lot of it this year and I am keeping it going with the new site, new shop, and new (old) name. With the new site I’m bringing my blog, my design work, and my products all under one roof and one name… my name! Having all different brands was just crazy town and I’m looking forward to having things streamlined and easier for you and me to navigate. With that said, I wanted to walk you through what is new around here.
THE BLOG:
– The Name. I am saying goodbye to the name Smitten Studio as it (and I) has grown and changed so much from when I initially chose it years ago. One thing that I do know won’t change is my name so consolidating everything under that is the way to go. To differentiate the blog a little bit from the rest of the site I am titling it “Stories”, as it is a place to share DIY tales, my latest finds, and all sorts of visual stories of design.
-Email sign up! My blog finally has a place to subscribe to receive posts by email (welcome me to 2005).
-Navigation: Popular posts at the top, and main categories to the side. Hopefully you can poke around and find your favorite posts easier.
-Oh and it is prettier. :)
THE SHOP:
– The Name. Switching it from A Sunny Afternoon to a signature line was a tough decision as the shop was only open for two seasons but again, consolidation is the name of the game so the products are now under Sarah Sherman Samuel as well.
-New Items! I will be updating the shop with new items as I create them so check back often. There are some new boards in there now and keep a look out for some product collaborations which will be a regular thing.
-The black & white picnic basket is back!
THE STUDIO:
– This section isn’t quite finished yet, but it will show my work and my design services. I just couldn’t wait to get the new blog up and running and get back to posting.
HOME PAGE:
– oh and the new homepage! Here is where you’ll see the latest posts, newest products, collaborations and studio work.
I am sure there will be tweaks and changes that need to be done over the next few days so if you see something funky let me know. Thank you and happy you are here. x
UPDATE: it seems there are a LOT of tweaks and things have gone a bit haywire. Please bear with me as I get things sorted. New websites are SO FUN.
