The Design Network

The Design Network Website

Oh my gosh, you will not believe what I have stumbled on.  I can't wait to share it with you.  If any of you tell me it has been around for like five years I will cry.  If you are a design enthusiast this may become like crack to you.  It is TDN thedesignnetwork.com.  You have to go there and check it out.  This site comes with no excruciating long waiting periods for "afters" like some of those hour long HGTV shows that could really be summed up in about 15 minutes.  Most of the video's I watched were about 5-10 minutes long.

From The Design Network I learned of a wonderful designer from San Diego, Rebecca Robeson of Robeson Design.  Check out one of her top ranking videos: San Diego Home reveal: Kids Rooms - Part #4.  Rebecca is so fun to watch and her videos are jam packed with tips and beautiful before and afters.

The Design Network video's are set up in series.  You can select what to watch by series, top videos, trending, and newest.  I checked out a few of the videos from the series House Trip With Leah And Mary. They are the founders of A Fab Life and in this series "they're taking a trip to the most fashionable of today's digital tastemakers' homes to check out their interiors and find out what inspires them to live a truly Fab Life".  They are definitely a trip.  You might like this video from the series, House Trip: Damsel in Dior.

I love architecture so I enjoyed this entertaining interview, Architainment: Meet Mark Candelaria.  I can only dream of building on that grand a scale but I love the glamorous thought of someone taking their client to another country so they can understand the full vision of a project.

In my office on my iPad checking out The Design Network

How do I find out about these things, you wonder.  Well, I am headed to a blog conference in March and I was doing my homework.  The Design Network is one of the sponsors for the event.  It was just unfortunate that I found out about it during the Grammys because I got totally engrossed (had to tape the end of the Grammys).  And as you can see from the picture above it is momentarily keeping me from working.  So this post comes with a warning: this site can be addicting and cause you to lose sleep. I went to bed really late.  Oh, I know, I should have put the warning at the beginning of the post. Sorry.

Now you go check it out while I catch up on the Grammys   -  Marianne
