What's in a Name? {Introducing East Coast Creative}





Well lookie here… a new blog name and a whole new look! {Eeek!}
Let us tell you that this has been one crazy journey.  If you’re new around here or missed the drama he’s the low down…

We’re a DIY and home décor blog.  We’re Housewives.  We’re Real.  But, now we’re East Coast Creative…the bloggers formerly known as “The Real Housewives of Bucks County.” Hey, if Prince can do it, so can we! Change stinks, but we love our new name! So, our name is different, but everything else is the same.  We’ll still be bringing you awesome DIY projects, cool design trends, and plenty of goofy Monica and Jess tossed in. 

Here’s where you come in… 

1.    We need help letting people know that East Coast Creative is still us!  Facebook it, Tweet it, give us a shout out on your blog, whatever it takes. We want the world to know we’re still here!

  2.    For now, the old address will work, but (as soon as it's functional, hopefully sometime today) try to get in the habit of using

www.eastcoastcreativeblog.com 
*will be working soon!

       3.     Let’s all just put RHBC behind us and move on.  {Excuse us while we weep in the corner}

On another note… none of this would be possible without the amazing talent of Kim at 733 Designs. She put up with a lot of our crazy ideas, slight breakdowns, and was super helpful and fast in making this all happen. 

Finally, we are so thankful for all of YOU! The positive feedback we get from you (especially in response to yesterday’s post) is so encouraging.  We love this blog no matter what the name,(wait… what’s the name again??) and we’re so glad you do too. 


Soooo....what do you think?!

With love,
The Bloggers Formerly Known as The Real Housewives of Bucks County

  8. As a former Bucks County gal (I grew up there), I think it's fab that you fought the good fight for your old name - but now it's on to bigger and better things girls!

    Here's to the East Coast!

  15. thumbs up girls! great name, great design. You´re creativity shows if you can take something old, but much loved, into something better! Good luck to you both. And now…. RELAX!! you deserve it!

  16. I will ALWAYS be a faithful follower of your blog, no matter what the name. You two are so creative and SO funny! I guess that's where I think the new name misses the mark. I think RHBC had a special touch of whimsy that reflected your personalities and the fun you have together. There's nothing wrong with East Coast Creative, except that it sounds fairly serious and a bit staid for you two wild gals. Just my honest opinion, you have my loyalty forever. I hope the name catches on and brings you much success.
    Love the new blog page design!

    1. Thanks for your honest input Judy! We loved how RHBC was witty and such a fun play on words. As we worked on a new name nothing witty seemed to compare and sounded forced. Don't worry, you'll still get all the goofy humor and wit in posts! Thanks for your encouragement!
