Lisa Gilmore Design's got a brand new do!

I am bursting at the seams with excitement to share with you, Lisa Gilmore Design's new look! I liked my previous logo a lot, and it was great for what I was looking for at the time, but as I pursue growing my business, I realized that I have to put more work into creating a whole image/brand. For a few months I have been working with a very talented graphic designer in Miami, Stacye. She is fantastic. Not only is she great at graphic design, but she is fantastic at creating a whole brand. Which, like I said above, is exactly what I wanted.

So ladies and gents, let me introduce to you the new look of Lisa Gilmore Design:

I still loved the stacked look of my name, kept the green color way which I loved but, changed the hue a bit, freshened it up with this fantastic pattern, that I found inspiration from while sourcing wallpaper! (I just sent her a photo of it one day and she came up with this design.) I also still loved the exaggerated "L" in my name, so Stacye kept that as well, she tweaked the font a bit, and voila! My new look! 

Then, here comes the other fun stuff of building a brand! 

Color Consultation gift certificates, amazing little boxes to put them in, new business cards, great little stickers, introduction tags, the works! Isn't she one stellar graphic/brand designer? Working with Stacye, was not only easy but fun! She really loves what she does and you can tell. She will go above and beyond to make you happy and make sure that you and the personality of your business really shine through! I highly recommend her!

I am still working on the actual website and making everything cohesive, but it will be up and together very soon, so bare with me and my web designer as we work on it together. I just couldn't wait to show this exciting new image!

So what do you think?

Pink?

Pink. Pink is a color that quite honestly, I have never been really fond of. You wont find it in my closet. You wont find it really in anything I purchase or like. But lately... I have to admit, I have been a little smitten with pink. But in only one application... interior design. For some reason, you still wont find me wearing it. Well, unless it's the palest of blush pink, maybe.

So what's up with this new little crush on pink that I have? For some reason, I just really love the idea of waking up in a pale pink room. To me, a pale pink room filled with sunlight is just such a happy welcome to the morning. Just like the sunshine that I hope to flood into my room, other shades of pink are starting to flood into my interior design inspiration.

Plus this lovely little handbook "500 Favorite Paint Colors" from House Beautiful helped me realize that after all  I just might like pink! If you haven't checked this issue from House Beautiful, I highly suggest you do!

When people think of pink, they tend to think of a girls room and that's it. I challenge you to go outside the girly pink box and be daring with pink. Pink can be masculine too. Pair it with grays, navys, yellows and creams and you've got a new look on this old fashioned girly color.
Take a peek at these ever inspiring pink rooms. You might end up like me, and actually really love them!

Okay, I don't know about you guys... but I LOVE Betsey Johnson, she rocks my fashion socks off, and her home is just as vibrant fun and energetic. I adore the citrus yellow against this bubblegum pink, and the graphic rug takes it to a whole new level! Check out this fashionista's abode...

An eclectic mix that makes me want a pink living room...

Just what would a pink post be without Kelly Wearstler? Well, like a fish with no water! Her home office is floor to ceiling pink, and let's talk about these amazing golden hand chairs, how fun are they?

I am chomping at the bit to install this wallpaper (designed by Kelly herself) somewhere, any takers?
