Design Bloggers Conference Recap

I think I'm finally caught up from returning from the Design Bloggers Conference.

Bags are unpacked and laundry is {almost} done. Now I get to sort through my pictures and reminisce over a great few days away.

I had the chance to attend the conference with two friends, Lori {Lori May Interiors} and Amanda {Amanda Carol Home}.  You should check out their blogs....they are both very talented designers!

Here are a few highlights of the trip....

DESIGN BLOGGERS CONFERENCE AT HOME IN THE NW

Internet connection and a Starbucks in the hotel made for a great start to the conference!

DESIGN BLOGGERS CONFERENCE ROSS CASSIDY MILLION DOLLAR DECORATOR

I had the opportunity to meet Ross from Million Dollar Decorators! {Though I confess, for as much reality tv that I watch, this show was not on my list. It is now!!}

DESIGN BLOGGERS CONFERENCE WINE

They served wine and sake one afternoon, during the conference!

DESIGN BLOGGERS CONFERENCE BARBARA BARRY

DESIGN BLOGGERS CONFERENCE PATTI AUSTIN

Some amazing speakers were brought in for the event!  Talented designers Barbara Barry {above} and Charlotte Moss both spoke to the crowd.  As did Grammy winner, Patti Austin {above}.  What a treat to hear what they all had to say!

DESIGN BLOGGERS CONFERENCE DINNER

And this may have been my favorite part of the entire conference....the people!

The above picture is from a dinner out one evening with Amanda {Amanda Carol At Home}, Cheryl {Dwell by Cheryl}, Shelly {Lura Studio} and Lori {Lori May Interiors}.  It's always so fun to meet new friends and re-connect with old friends at events like this!

The trip was very worthwhile.  And I'm so thankful for the opportunity to go. But as always, it's good to be home.
