We had another wonderful reader event with The Block’s Darren Palmer in Sydney on Friday, at BoConcept in Crows Nest.
A crowd of more than 100 people came along to listen to me interviewing Darren and sharing his insider take on The Block as well as insight on how he got to be where he is today, tips on decor and getting into the interiors industry. He was a popular guest of honour with plenty of people queuing up to have their photo taken with him and ask him questions.
Later in the evening, the crowd were let loose on the BoConcept showroom to move anything they liked and create their own vignettes, uploading them to Instagram for the chance to win a fabulous BoConcept stool worth almost $500. The lucky winner was Tessa White.
Guests mingled and met each other, having got to know each other first through the monthly 7 Vignettes challenge on Instagram. I loved meeting so many of you. It is always a pleasure and I swear I have the nicest (and most creative) blog readers in Australia!
Delicious food was provided by The Wooden Whisk and drinks by First Creek Wines and Santa Vittoria water.
A huge thank you to Darren and our event partner BoConcept. There’ll be more events in Sydney and interstate before the end of 2014, but first my 6-month overseas trip!
Thanks also to our gift bag sponsors: Byron Bay Cookies, Temple & Webster, Taubmans, The Wooden Whisk, Ultraceuticals, Babe Scrub, BoConcept and Silk Home Staging & Styling.

Oh wow, what an a.may.zing event! Congrats Jen, not only does it look like it was a super stylish and fun night, you must be so proud of how 7 Vignettes has grown x
Annabel loved it! She felt so grown up. And Jen you always put on such a good event. Can’t wait for the next one. Who will you pull out of the bag as guest speaker…?
P.S Love my double chin on the blog today!
It did cross my mind that I have seen much better photos of you Emma, but it was the only one of Annabel and I couldn’t not give her some fame on Interiors Addict! 😉 Greg Natale for the next Sydney one!
As a mother, I’d do anything for my daughter, so what does a double chin matter!?
Greg Natale – how wonderful!
Haha, typical for me to be snapped grabbing a glass of vino!!
Such a fabulous night Jen, loved every minute x
Thanks Cate! Lovely to meet you!
Hi Jen, lovely event, great food – had a nice evening out! If you are free on the 7 March, you are welcome to join Babette Hayes and myself for the ‘Downsize with Style’ book launch at the BoConcept showroom.
Thanks Bettina. Glad you enjoyed it! I’d love to but I’ll be heading to Newcastle for a wedding the next day. I have written about the book though 🙂
It was such a fabulous evening Jen! Thanks so much for organising / hosting and introducing us to Darren Palmer. Was great to hear his tips and industry insights. Looking forward to the next event! x
Thanks Galina! Did you see yourself in the pix earlier this week? 😉
Yeah I did. And I’m taking a pic of a vignette… at a 7 Vignettes event. How apt! Haha
