Going Shabby Sheek

As you can tell, I've gone Shabby Sheek... While this is a fairly dated design term, I've noticed that I'm drawn to the sort of look lately that cannot be described any other way...

Goodbye, Asian Chic! Hello Shabby Sheek! (Speaking of shabby, you can get FREE blog design templates over here at Shabby Blogs. Which is, in fact, where I got mine!)

AND, I was not only inspired by my friend Christy to change my look after over a year in the red Asian design, but to also attempt a header design. Very plain, but it makes me happy that it's not the same ole thing I've been looking at for a year or so...

Sooo.... thoughts?????
