I am getting bored with the same templates for this blog but I do not want to take the time to create my own. The last time I tried my hand at creatively designing my own, one night late in the wee hours, my blog ended up looking really scary. I went back to to "Blue Crush", my old standby, after two hours of wasted time creating a frightening mess.
This one is called "Powell Street". I have no idea why. I have used it two or three other times and it is simply acceptable.
Attention Typepad template designers!
I would like a template with some deep, rich autumnal colors, similar to those in my living room, dining room and kitchen, kind of a Pottery Barn meets Tuscany look. Although I have never been to Tuscany, I imagine it being warm on the color wheel, a definite autumn. You know, a paper bag brown, some golden wheat, a bit of brick red scarlet and olive (but not like the 1970's refrigerators). I would like the typeface to be a dark brown, the color of mahogany. Perhaps you can throw in some falling leaves in the header, not goofy cartoony looking ones but real gorgeous leaves slowly drifting to the bottom of my blog. If a scent could be added, I would like to request "Creamy Nutmeg" candle scent from Bath and Body Works. Or better yet, Burt's Bee's Baby Powder and Apricot Baby Oil Scent. Yum. ( maybe I better save that last scent for Babylove... ) Blog flavor would be Chianti Classico Riserva or perhaps warm basil pesto with crisply baked whole wheat pita for dipping.
Thank you, dear and faithful readers, for indulging me by reading this ridiculous post. I certainly did not deserve your attention all of this time. :)
