Speaker Feature: Erin Loechner of Design For Mankind

We are ecstatic to announce our first teacher for the event in October: Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind!

web

Erin comes to us from a pretty little place called Indiana, where she and her husband have completely renovated a home with drool worthy, Scandinavian style and finesse. Teaching our dECOr course on styling and renovating your home with eco-conscious efforts, Erin brings a lot to the table (most likely made out of salvaged Wyoming snow fence) from her experience in tackling her own home.

Above all of the experience, Erin brings with her an exceedingly positive, fun energy. Spontaneous dance parties, stellar fashion sense, and a kindness unmatched makes Erin an exceptional addition to the hello there! house family.

Juggling an active Internet career with writing, speaking and consulting, Erin can be found daily at DesignForMankind.com, her art/design blog that was recently honored as one of the London Time’s top 50 design blogs in the world. She currently hosts a renovation column on HGTV.com where she catalogs her experiences as an impromptu interior designer. Erin’s work has been featured in Glamour, Lucky, Dwell, Readymade, Nylon, Print Magazine, Apartment Therapy, The Huffington Post, and she regularly contributes to Readymade Magazine.

Here is a video of her own home's renovation featured on hgtv.com:



CAN we be any more excited to have Erin? We're DYING with excitement!

Leave a comment offering your warmest welcome to the newest member of the fam and register for the two-day event to learn more about Erin and updating your home using reclaimed, salvaged, and eco-friendly elements. Early bird tickets ($150) are still available but limited. Get yours today!

Tutorial Tuesday: Cane Back Chair Redo

**Now I didn’t get overly ambitious and document my entire process in redo-ing this thrifted chair, but it was so simple and such few steps, I figure the before and after will do just fine. Also? Pardon the photo quality. I may have just used my cell phone to document…::ehem::


There’s a complete technique, a method if you will, when it comes to thrifting. It takes patience, focus, and a wee bit of adventure and most of all: whimsy. You must have a vision and really take note of some hideous piece of something and its deeply hidden potential.

At our first meet’n’greet event at Urban Picnic this Friday, we will have this darling piece showcased for your viewing pleasure.

Before it was a high gloss finish, minty green with a raggedy hunter green corduroy seat cushion. That? Will just not do.

After a single coat using Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover 2X in Satin Granite, a half yard of a darling fabric, and my trusty staple gun, I say she’s looking might fine.

Make sure you come out to our fabulous meet’n’greet event this Friday, June 10th from 6p-8p at Urban Picnic. It will be an evening filled with great food, information on our big Fall event, fun swag and a take home project for all attendees. Join us and spread the love!
