Our Favorite DIY Events of 2010
2010 has been a whirlwind at Charles & Hudson. We kicked off the year at the Builder's Show and also attended the National Hardware Show and Greenbuild Expo. But our favorite events of the year were presented by retailers and manufacturers and most included a bit of do-it-yourself.
Forget the stuffy lectures in board rooms, we wanted an opportunity to get our hands dirty and we were certainly given the chance. The events we were invited to not only gave us an exclusive opportunity to see, feel, and test new product but also meet the amazing people who design, fabricate and market the products.
On to our favorite DIY events of 2010!
