Design Bloggers Conference

The stage set in the main conference room

I guess I was so overwhelmed in LA at the Design Bloggers Conference, I totally shut down! The event was an incredible opportunity of learning from some of the best interior design bloggers. I have a few pictures to share of the beautiful lobby and history meeting room in the Biltmore Hotel, as well as several speakers.

I was able to meet and speak with the famous interior designer, Bunny Williams, who had just been in Nashville to honor and speak at the opening of the Albert Hadley Exhibit at the Nashville Public Library.

Another interior designer I love to follow is Tobi Fairley. She had taken all the opportunities of interior design and made an incredible business of not only designing, but also teaching, training, and so much more.

Every so often, my ADD self would get distracted by the beautiful surroundings. This is a small section of the ceiling … stunning!

I had to include this shot even though it is dark because this sweet man was so charming and entertaining, I would hire him as my designer in a heartbeat, just to hear his accent! He told us how he came to LA to get into movies, which did not work out. He ended up helping a lady with her daughter’s wedding, and for payment, asked to come to the wedding. Low and behold, he sat next to Cheryl Tiegs, who hired him to design her home, and the rest was history. He now designs for Elton John, Cher, and numerous other famous people. He would laugh at himself in such a humble way, I wish you could have been there!
