Nate Berkus Show/Blogger Party Recap!

Becky and I were delighted to be invited to a special taping of the Nate Berkus Show for an audience of design bloggers yesterday in New York City!  We logged about 8 hours of driving for 7 short-lived hours of design fun in the city, but it was totally worth it!

Here we are, on Nate's set at the CBS Studios on West 57th Street:

Nate's shows are taped in advance, so we're not at liberty to tell you too much about the content, other than that special guests included Design Star winner Emily Henderson and Project Runway winner Christian Siriano.

The audience was a veritable who's who of design bloggers from around the country including (but not limited to!) Janell of Isabella and Max Rooms, Jenny of Little Green Notebook, Lindsay of Everything LEB, Emily of Emily A. Clark, Cristin of Simplified Bee, Kristin of 6th Street Design School and of course Camila of High-Heeled Foot in the Door.

The party continued downtown at a champagne and desert event sponsored by The Nest Magazine and Camila Pavone of High-Heeled Foot in the Door.

The editors at The Nest Magazine brilliantly set up a 'design challenge' for the blogger partiers: to design a bar cart with a (limited) offering of available resources including ribbon, books, paper umbrellas and the like.

Here's Becky hard at work on Living Livelier's bar car entry:

And here I am, looking a bit skeptical, but happy with drink in hand:

Some bar cart design competition:
