That is how I decided to go all the way to New York City to attend the Blogger Block Party given by HGTV Magazine &#8211; A blogger adventure!<\/p>\n<p>Can I just tell you how lively, invigorating, colorful and fun it was? I honestly had no real idea what it would be like, but had complete faith that HGTV does everything right, so this (free) event would be no exception.<\/p>\n<h2>How I learned about the HGTV Magazine Blogger Block Party &#8211;<\/h2>\n<h2>A little back story&#8230;<\/h2>\n<h2>As you know Craig and I have been living the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/empty-nest-renovation-before-photos-and-video\/\">downsizing\/renovating house adventure<\/a> of our empty nester lives! We sold our larger home in Orange County and moved to Pasadena to be closer to our families, find a smaller home and a new fixer upper project.<\/h2>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h1>HGTV is such a hot topic isn&#8217;t it?<\/h1>\n<p>Everyone I know watches Chip and Joanna and has been watching the network since its early beginnings. The enthusiasm for home design is at an all time high\u00a0especially with midlifers and empty nesters!<\/p>\n<p>On AdventuresofEmptyNesters.com I started to chronicle the entire adventure from the renovation to the studs, to all of the numerous challenges of an older home (1937) to how we made the design choices. It was fun for me to share the details and keep an online diary of sorts. All of you were so supportive and super interested in the process and the outcome!<\/p>\n<p>I happened to receive two different emails from two different readers telling me that I had chosen the same handmade Spanish backsplash tile as a popular HGTV designer named Emily Henderson from <a href=\"https:\/\/stylebyemilyhenderson.com\">Style by Emily Henderson<\/a>. What a\u00a0complimentary coincidence! How validating to have a designer like Emily make the same unique choice for one of her renovations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14372\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14372 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/California-Country_Kitchen_Emily-Henderson_blue-wood-concrete-tile-open-shelving-causal_1-600x752.jpg\" alt=\"HGTV Emily Henderson\" width=\"600\" height=\"752\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/752;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spanish Kitchen by Emily Henderson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14385\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14385 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_7835-2-600x675.jpg\" alt=\"new kitchen\" width=\"600\" height=\"675\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/675;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My new kitchen with the same backsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13187\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13187\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13187 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Glen-Summer-Kitchen-View-from-laundry-room-600x899-5.jpeg\" alt=\"Glen Summer Kitchen - View from laundry room\" width=\"600\" height=\"899\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/899;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Kitchen Before&#8230; Yikes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I started to follow Emily&#8217;s\u00a0popular Instagram account (Instagram marketing works!) and read that this event was\u00a0coming up\u00a0and she was one of the speakers.

Attending an event like this can be very intimidating, but I did it anyway, not knowing what little gems of information I may find. I am so glad that I did and I certainly appreciate all of the hard work and creativity that went into making this event such a crazy great success!
