Just look at that face. Of course she’s cute. That’s evident immediately.

But Erin Loechner is also talented, funny, sweet, creative, and has an amazing eye for interior design.

Color yourself lucky, because Erin is coming to Omaha. Later this year, Erin of the crazy-popular blog Design for Mankind and of HGTV.com fame will serve as the opening speaker for HOME: A Birdhouse Interiors and Art Exhibition, kicking off Friday, December 2, at the Bancroft Street Market near downtown Omaha.

Birdhouse Interior Design and Birdhouse Collectible owner Jessica McKay – who was mentioned earlier this summer in the The New York Times – will transform the empty storefront at 10th and Bancroft Streets into a temporary home featuring seven rooms. Using her interior design prowess and appreciation of originality, Jessica and her team will also showcase the work of a select group of Nebraska artists. (Note to artists: submissions for HOME will be accepted through September 1.)

Move your mouse to the Birdhouse blog for more details on Erin’s presentation, the week-long HOME event, and how, by attending, you’ll support The Union for Contemporary Art.

I am delighted to help Jessica and the Birdhouse collective with this very exciting, first-of-its-kind Omaha event, and hope to see you at our opening party on December 2. It will be an event you won’t want to miss!
