WHAT’S OLD IS NEW AGAIN AT Homekind

found at Homekind at 341 N. Hennessey St. in Mid-City — the newest iteration of what was formerly Canal Furniture Liquidators.

Much of the curated furniture comes from hotels, often given a facelift with chalk paint, new hardware and refurbishments. Sometimes it’s even adorned with stencil-like transfers.

Owner Holis Hannan, who also owns and runs furniture store Floor 13 in Jefferson, was inspired to start the business from her childhood spent treasure hunting at estate sales and antique stores with her aunt. She built a business on purchasing liquidated furniture from hotels, including the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott.

“It’s amazing how much they have and how they redo it so often,” Hannan says. “They have hundreds of things that they need to get rid of.

And it will end up in a landfill unless someone takes hold of it. I’m finding those treasures and bringing them to my store.”

Hannan and business partners started Canal Furniture Liquidators before a fire destroyed their Mid-City warehouse nearly four years ago.

Holis Hannan says one way to update lighting is to stencil illustrations onto vintage lamps.

Inventory includes items from hotels that could otherwise end up in a landfill. Hannan eliminates waste by repurposing furniture.

Hannan also teaches classes on DIY refurbishing and painting.

Hannan sources items not just from hotels but also estate sales, Habitat for Humanity, the Salvation Army and more.

one-of-a-kind quality pieces for the community is a win-win.

The name Homekind is a nod to the effort to help humankind with beautiful, previously owned pieces that help eliminate waste.

Hannan separately works with hotels to update and extend the life of current furniture with hardware updates, painting and refurbishing.

“I like making cool, creative things and having people come in and say, ‘This is better than I thought it could ever be,’” Hannan says. “As an artist, that is always where my heart is — making things that people never thought (of): An old piece now becomes a beautiful piece. Right now, our biggest thing is transfers. It’s like tattoos for furniture — a painted image. We’re doing that on the furniture, and everyone’s loving it.”

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Hannan also raised money and commissioned artists to refurbish 50 children’s desks through the “Dat Desk” fundraiser that were donated to members of the community in need.

“My favorite thing I’ve ever done was delivering those desks,” Hannan says.

AUGUST 2022

Hannan persisted, opening Floor 13 in Jefferson to sell liquidated hotel furniture. But she had been looking for a space to return to Mid-City.

Homekind, located behind Clesi’s Seafood Restaurant & Catering, is currently open on Saturdays and by appointment. In the next few months, Hannan expects to add more days along with a calendar of regular classes on DIY refurbishing and repainting.

“We’re inventing classes on what we have (in stock), so say I get hotel vanity stools, for example, we’ll shape a class around that — we’ll recover it and repaint it,” Hannan says. “I may get a lot of nightstands, and we redo them and make each its own little piece.”

In addition to working with hotels to source furniture, Homekind gets some of its inventory from estate sales, Habitat for Humanity, The Salvation Army and others.

“We donate to them and then we also take from them when they are overfilled,” Hannan says.

Both Homekind and Floor 13 are filled with hundreds of pieces including beds, sofas, coffee tables, side tables, lamps, artwork and every type of home decor.

Hannan says eliminating furniture waste from landfills and providing
