While waiting for the keynote to start I had the opportunity to reconnect with fellow Upward Bound House interior designer Vanessa de Vargas. I was amazed that even though she has a laundry list of projects, she still finds time to blog. The rest of the Editor at Large panel included interior designer Brad Ford, HGTV executive Jillian St. Charles, editor of DécorDemon.com Brian Patrick Flynn, and last but not least founder of 1stDibs.com Michael Bruno. The thing I took away from the panel discussion is that they don’t make money from their blogs but they do make money because of their blogs. So if you’re looking to start a blog to supplement your income it may not be the best idea. Lucky for me Shoebox Décor is a passion and I don’t have to worry about it feeding my piggy bank.
My last tidbit of Westweek information is for all you HGTV lovers. Jillian St Charles informed me that they don’t have any small space shows planned for the near future but they do have a lot of small space content that will be add to their web site, so stay tune for that…Happy Blogging Everyone!
Ronda, Brad, Vanessa
