The Design Happens crew packed our warmest parkas and trendiest scarves (Grant packed his bow tie collection!) and headed to this week’s Altitude Design Summit in beautiful Salt Lake City. Isn’t the view amazing?
We’ll be posting photos of our favorite bloggers, design elements and scenery all week long. Follow Design Happens on Twitter and HGTV on Instagram to see what we’re up to. And if you’re at Alt, too, come say hi to Grant, Briana and me!
If you’re a devoted Design Happens reader, then you know editor-in-chief Grant Dudley loves crazy, colorful socks and bow ties. And I’m sure you’ve noticed that feminine bows, both large and small, have completely taken over the fashion world. Whether they’re clipped to your shoes, emblazoned on a sweater or dangling on a necklace, bows are eve-ry-where. So Grant, the bow ties in this picture are just for you!

Yes, I’m ordering one — Merry Christmas to me!
Yes, I’m back on the topic of celebrities. I promise I’m not a stalker — but really, does a stalker know that he or she is a stalker? I’ll ponder that one later. In the meantime…
Architectural Digest is showcasing the closets of Mariah Carey, Elton John, Brooke Shields and other stars. My favorite closet featured is the one that hotelier Steve Wynn had designed for his Las Vegas home.
INSPIRATION: WALK-IN CLOSET IDEAS FROM HGTV
AD100 interior designer Roger Thomas created this closet.
What caught my eye was Steve’s impressive tie racks (on the right). Uh, yeah — my ties are hanging crazily on three coat hangers along with several belts. And, I won’t even discuss how my poor bow ties are stored. It’s all very shameful. But, I digress.
Tell me about your dream closet, or tell me what closet disasters you have going on.
This bow tie, with two distinct patterns washed in bright hues, has made my Monday.
What’s your take on men wearing bow ties? Do you like the look?
When I was a kid, I was so proud when presenting my dad with the greatest Father’s Day gift ever…a new tie…with a pair of dress socks. But as I look around the desks of my coworkers at HGTV, I’ve noticed there are a lot of proud papas displaying hand-painted picture frames and coffee mugs decorated by their kids. Um, where was I when my friends were making these one-of-a-kind treasures? (Sorry Dad, we were jipped! I’m going to totally make it up to you.) Keeping up the fine tradition of Father’s Day crafts, here are four easy DIY presents perfect for burgeoning artists of all ages to make for their deserving dads.
So which craft would your Dad most enjoy receiving? Or which project would your kids most enjoy making for him?
