EtherHouse does "Trading Spaces"!
[covering eyes] Okay... I'm not looking... just guide me in...
*oof!* ... Sorry, couldn't see the doorway!
How do I feel? I feel blind! [laughs] Uh... well, I guess I feel kind of nervous, you know... Why? Well, because, y'know, it's my house! [laughs] It's my EtherHouse! And if they've messed it up, I'll have to kill them! [laughs] No, seriously, I think it'll look great. I'm hopeful.
Okay. Tell me when I can look. I'm not looking yet.
Yep, ready. Okay! Here goes nothin'!
[removes blindfold; looks around, dazed]
Oh!
Oh wow.
Wow!
This is amazing! How did you guys do this? This is amazing! Look! It's got -- the bridges! Oh my God! How did you know? Two Brooklyn Bridges! Oh! Right, sorry, I meant both bridges, you know, the Brooklyn and... [trails off, distracted by looking around] ... and, uh, Manhattan, and, uh... is that fog? Oh, God, you guys! This is so cool!

Looks great! But, surely this is your design, not someone else's, since it's your blog, right?
:-)

Yeah... it's my design...
But since I made such a radical change, I wanted to do the "Trading Spaces" theme. The post almost kinda makes sense if you don't look too deeply into it...

For some reason the fonts for the headings are coming out like black blobs. Can't read the headings. I miss the funny word play under the blog title. Might need a little tweaking. From someone who can barely tie her own shoes. Nice photos.

Thanks for the feedback, Mary. I don't know why the headers are coming out like little black blobs for you; every browser and computer I've checked the site on seems to display them well. What browser/computer are you using? (Bear in mind the font is a little blobby to begin with -- it's the same font as the "EtherHouse" header.)
There's definitely more tweakage to come, so the suggestions are appreciated. I may restore the taglines under the title; I like the clean design, so I'll have to see how they work. If they're too cluttery, they may have to go.
