Your layout is original and your color scheme works well. My only concern is if you have a logo or some banner image to post up where it says "Nettle Tea Design, Inc." That seems like the perfect spot for another "eco" image.
night: regarding your website design: I like the leaves at the top...I like your logo a lot, it is very cool and spurs one towards action. I feel there is too much text on each page. Some editing may help the readers find what they want more quickly.
Yes, it looks a lot like a blog, you should make it more corporative, you need to create a logo, also, some nice and serious effects would be nice, you are selling design my friend, you need to make a good first impact
I think you could improve the design by adding a little more variation in the color - try white or more of the taupe you used for the hover links. There just isn't enough contrast to direct the viewer's attention to your content.
A very plain design, you need more images/content to add interest - will also help make the site look less like a blog & more like a design site. Drop the accolades page & move the content to a prominent location on the index.
