#5! :)

I'm trying hard to catch up on my favorite places and spaces - I'm so far behind!
I love your photos, and narrowing it down to one header is too difficult -- I have to choose 2. hehe.
While I like them all, these jumped out at me:
#3 - especially the far right photo! the colors in this scream lime and coconut on the cool and breezy side. Lurve it.
#5 edges out as the winner, though! It's fiery and spicy, gorgeous and exotic - and while I love the similar one above it, The curve of the staircase and the interior shot give it a few extra facets in that beautiful gem of all that you are.
Great choices!
Happy Sunday sweet sister-friend!

#4 has the groovy island feel! So you, as I have learned just this morning. Still drooling over pictures.
I'm diggin' them all! But if I had to choose just one, I'd say #5, but then I like #4, and then someetimes I'm in a blue mood so.... :-) Can't you change them out peridically so you can use them all!? (
I vote 2 or 4. :) I couldn't decide.
All are lovely! I vote for 5 since it has the beautiful greens as well as the home design photos and subtitle denoting the main content of the blog.
#5, although could I suggest swapping the 2 right hand images (so the stairs end up on the far right)?
If helpful to others, clicking on the images makes them show larger (on my browser, at least).
I see you are using #4. I love it. I also love #5.
Def numbers 4 or 5! They are all great, but I would expect nothing less from you!
I like 1 or 5. Now I want a daiquiri : )
I liked your old header - but I'm loving #4!
I see there is not a strong consensus but my favorite, #4 has been chosen by a few other people. IMHO, the heliconia looks best in the center of the header.
Number 5 and here's why. It's got that fantabulous vanity!! I do like #4, too!!
Definitely 4 - strong, purposeful and decidedly tropical, which is how I think of your blog Linda.
But whichever one you choose as the winner will be an absolute winner. xv
# 4 floats my boat. I love the intensity of color and depth in the three photos that make up this header.

I like #5 but with an ocean pic instead of the sideboard table. The stairs photo says "c'mon in." Like that. The tree on the left gives it good balance and says a lot about where you are. Need to see some ocean! Like all your ideas...always.
I like 5 the best, but the Blog Name needs to be darker so it can be more easily read. If the choices are as is then I have to go with #4,--where the title is most easily read. Good Luck.
I like one and five. What about a coconut and/or a lime pic too?
#3
I love the blues, and the water looks so inviting!!!
However, all are wonderful, and you cannot go wrong with any of the choices :)
* OK, considering my "BRAIN is now STRAINED", I choose #s 4 or 6 (... BUUUT, I like #s 1 & 3 so much I might choose #s 2 or 5!!!!!)~~~~ (Hey, I've been verrry sick for days... maybe it's the antibiotics talking!!!)~~~ Reeeeally, ALLLL are LOVERLY, kiddo!!! (But I usually like "odd #s" of ANYTHING the most!)~~~ Have fuuuu-uuuunnnnnnnn!!!! Best, Linda in AZ *
I love #3 but I would replace the green pot with the plaited grass pot in #4. So fun to see them all!
I love Nr 5!!!!
Oooo...I absolutely fell in love w/ #4 when I first saw it earlier. Tho' I do have to say now you have confused me w/ #5.
#4 Yes that's my pick!!!
I like them all, but I like number 4 the best!
My vote is 4. I would love to have some summer on this dreary day.
Charla
#2 is definitely my favorite. Gotta have a pic of the WATER!
I like the lime slice you have as "your" photo too! :)
All of them!
Ok, well obviously that wasn't helpful. :)
If I had to chose "as is" it would be #5 but I do like some of the ocean from the others and the palm bowl from #4.
Hubby said #4 and so do I. He likes odds, and the flow of the header you have now, and he REALLY likes the basket. **blows kisses**Deborah
I liked your old header and #4:)
i select # 1
with one exception....
exchange the middle pic in # 1 for the staircase in # 5
ok
xx they are super xx
#3 - definitely!
#4!!
#One for Summer. Love the blue.
#Three for Winter. Love the green and orange.
I didn't have time to read all the responses - so forgive an old lady for repeating........But I would love #3 minus the pot - I would love Palm - water - chair
I love the palm in your present header - it has such fabulous movement - so keep that!!
Of course I love your header as is - but change if you must
Love you !!
by far my fave is #4 the colors on that pic are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
SILVIA.
#2 or 4!

#4 is great as it is. #5 but without the 'table' detail. Try the green basket instead of the table -it's a great picture. I like the vertical direction of these, especially with the man in the tree and the staircase. When they're cropped short, they lose some of their impact. Just my two-cents!
Old Header!
#1~
I vote for #5 because it has tropical heat with the reds in it, and it's the most balanced visually as well. And of course, the VANITY!! I do like the idea of changing them out once in a while too. I vote that tomorrow you put up number 5 and let us have a gander at it all big and in-our-faces! :)
I like #4 first and second choice is #2. good luck!
this was hard one and fun..i pick #5..but #4 is a close second...
everything you do is so striking and memorable, i know it will be good!
4!
i like 3! xoxoxo <3 Üdo
Love #3 and a close second is #5
I really like the one you have up top right now, #4. The three images are beautiful, work well together and allow your bright title to stand out against the darker sunset colors. All of the individual images are fantastic, but this particular header gets my vote!
I'm loving 2 and 4, but they're all great! So hard to pick -- good luck making your choice!
Number 5, Linda. It's awesome.
I really like #4....
am with you on this one. number 4 is great already:)
but then so is number 5...ahhh. ok ok, no 4 is my final word.
Hola! This was tough. I choose #5. They are all pretty cool, but I felt that #5 was classy and reflected your blog the best.
I like the previous one , it is so dramatic stormy , unusual for tropical scene ... everything is always so pretty and sunny .
I like bold thing ,,,, but it's personal .
have a nice day dear
LOVE #4! I live in the tropics of Queensland, Australia and they are images of where I live- the heliconias, palm trees and the woven palm frond baskets made by the many Torres Strait islanders who live around here. And the colours are so gorgeous!
4 :)
they are all really nice pic. hard choice.
love the new header you finally chose, i was just going to say that one was my fav too :)
Linda the image of the sea is perfect on #1, however I love #4 the most, but it has no image of the sea in there ... so maybe an additional sea image in #4?
Just a thought:)
They are all pretty amazing to tell ya the truth. I can see your dilemma. But, when all is said and done, #3 has the truest summertime feel for me. The colors seem so vibrant and yet cool - perfect for the beach on a hot summer's day.
I like #4...clean and graphic!
Diane
Clean lines,
strong graphic,
an almost tangible sense of actually being there,
evoking a faint floral smell of all things tropical...
that's #4, chica.
It's all things island without being overdone!
Boy! I'm ready for an island vacation...right NOW! and my island here DON'T COUNT!
Blessings!
My 5 year old (up with insomnia) says...
o.k. "PICK NUMBER #4 or you can't play with my legos."
Also...don't put too much stock in our opinions...Print them all out at the same size...then put them on a table.
Close your eyes.
the first one you open your eyes and look at...
That's the one!
(it might be different then the majority of opinions here.)
I vote for #3.
But I like all of them! Good luck with your decision!
Okey dokey Kiddos...I put up number 5 for your viewing pleasure...then I'll try 3 and 2 and then all of them.
For me it does help to see them bigger.
Thanks so much for all of your great input! Also the comments about changing some of the pics and font brightness...I'll try that too. Life is about trying, right?
Just by looks, #4 is my favorite. But because this blog is about you and your house, I'd really want to see that rather than the tropical photos. Your home is certainly just as beautiful!
#4 is Perfect. I love the contrast in both color and texture. I think it really captures the essence of your blog.
It is a dichotomy of simple and exotic.
They are all beautiful, but I have to choose #4. The colors are shared across the pictures, and each photo represents what your blog represents (sun & surf, beauty, and home). I also like the font color, size and position.
Love your blog!!
Linda! they are all pretty! I especially like #5.
I love No.3 Linda. It's so summery and refreshing. I would replace the third picture for the picture of the bracelet. I love them all though.
3 and 5... lovely
#3 made me want to move right in!
They're all beautiful, but number #3 and the blues are speaking to me! :)
#2, pick #2~! That photo of the empty glazed pot and leaves is STUNNING! STUNNING I tell you! #2! And please put my name in the hat! :) I'm just dying for some summer to arrive! :)
I vote for #3.
Love them all.
Love the old one too.
Love you.
xo xo
The plain old windy palm is still my favorite.
I love them all but I have to pick #5.
Your pictures make me want to head back to Key West! I love them!
#6! But all just beautiful images of where I wish I was right this very MOMENT!
#2 LOVE THE BLUE of the water! And your green writing is great! Love them all really. Just think... you can change them up.
Okay, #3 just really grabbed me, especially the blues in the old lifeguard stand. But, they are all nice and I don't know how easy it is to change but maybe you could run a different one each quarter of the top 4? Just a thought.
No.4 hits the tropical spot for me.
Carol
NUMBER THREE... which happens to be the current one of the moment... LOVE it!
#5 is my favorite. Love the staircase and the interior shot. Love your blog, I'm a new follower.
I love #3 - the blues, greens, palm tree and water is what I think of when I think "tropical".
I vote for #5. Love your blog!
#4. It's the most easily readable. But I want it to have the black border around the pictures a la #1.
Definitely #3 because I identify you with the palm tree photo so that is included and I love the blue photos and the green pot. Nice mix of vibrant tropical colors. The colors make me SMILE and I feel like Dancing..a good thing!
Joyce
I like number 2. Actually they all look good, but I like to see the outdoor pics mixed with the detail pics, and something about the way the green letters connect the two green pictures... I don't know, it just flows.
I enjoy coming to your blog for the tropical beauty that I do not get here in the northern part of the country. So I gotta have those outdoor pics, of water, palms, and all things warm and sunny. But the details in the homes are what make your pictures so beautiful. So 2 is my choice. You might dd the second line to it, though, telling what you are about... I like that, too.
But I will still come no matter which you decide on.
I'm loving 4. Whichever one you pick they are delish! Hey thanks for the HGTV home tour I agree with you, how did they get some areas so "right" and the others "not quite right" (Okay I'm trying to be nice). ALthough I won't complain if I win:)
I'm not sure how I missed seeing this before now! I love the photos in #3: the water is so relaxing, I've always loved the photo of the palm tree in the wind, I'm a sucker for ceramic pots, and I love, love, love, the blue and turquoise in the last photo of the group! But I also love the staircase that is in options 5 and 6, and I like that option 5 includes your subtitle. But they all look great--I don't think you can go wrong with any of them!
Number 2. Lovely!
We bloggers love a good giveaway, right?
Sorry about that...my delete due to a tired brain.
Let me try again. While I love the pics you have up...personally...when I see pics from your house...it makes my heart SING. Yes, sing... :) I love the blues in your TV room, the red in your kitchen...all the artwork in your zebra rug room. And the dog...he makes me laugh. Your home is SO.FULL.OF.REAL.LIFE. That is what I would love to see for your header. And the day I see your beautiful MUG pasted up on my screen...well, I just don't know WHAT I will do. Aren't you glad you asked? snicker. :)
Go with #4! They all look great though! How lucky to live in
An area with such great scenery.
How did I miss this post??
I love them all - 1,3,4,5 are my faves. I love how the staircase draws you in.
Now you're making me want a makeover on my little bloggy spot!
I like 4.
I'm late to this party, catching up on all my blog posts from wonderful blog land and decided to post a comment for a change instead of simply reading and enjoying in anonymity. I'm drawn to several, but love #4 because of the saturation of color and the myriad of textures, especially the last shot in #4. Beautiful!
#4!:)I'm from Trinidad and Tobago,and I'm presently studying in lovely Jamaica.Seeing #4 reminded me of home.I love your photo.Truly Caribbean and Saucy!
