No, you are not seeing things.
This is what you might call a “Give a Mouse a cookie situation.”
See,this is what happened – for some time now I have pondered the purpose of this blog…whether or not, we sell “My Old Country House” – I have contemplated merging my ART website – with this site, and making the Home related posts ONE aspect of a site which is also dedicated to my ART. and re-naming the entire thing
“lesli devito”
“my old country house” would then be ONE of the items in the menu… which would also include “COLOR”, “ART” “ME” and maybe a DIY archive or something….
Yesterday I came down to pick up my daughter from College (YAY) and found myself with most of an entire day free while she studied for finals…and 7 hours later I had made a significant dent in making some changes to this blog.
Here are my GOALS:
- Have an organized “ARCHIVE” so readers can easily find the most read and applicable DIY posts.
- Reduce the number of extraneous items in my sidebar.
- Improve the size of the photos
- Improve the navigation capacity
I like this template – but the top header is too big – changing this requires some coding work that I CAN figure out and will!!!!!
For all I know most of you already stopped reading – but no matter, I am slowly but surely updating this site and the results I hope will make this an enjoyable blog to visit!!!
Please if you have any feedback or things you would like to see..leave a comment and let me know!!! I am open to suggestions. The only thing I can promise you…well TWO things I can promise you – I am here to stay and things are going to change!!!!!
Thank you for your patience!!!!

Hey Lesli. My personal preference when scrolling through a blog is to be able to see the ENTIRE blog post WITHOUT having to click to “read more.” Every blog that I read that has changed from being able to see all the pics and text by just scrolling down to one that I have to “click to read + see,” my readership has drastically plummeted. Now, I’m sure there is *some reason* many, many blogs are going to this click to read more style, but I for one am not a fan. Often times, it’s the quick scrolling down where a pic catches my eye or something in the text pops out at me, and then I actually read the whole post. That’s just my two cents. Hope the transition to the new look goes smoothly. ~ Jane
