DIYers and building pros are innovative and used to dealing with surprises, so let's talk about how we can help you get through this challenging time. We're talking about creating a kind of community through the social distancing. Plus, we'll talk about our pets, gardens, DIY projects, and home schooling tips.   Kayleen McCabe is a general contractor, TV host, trades advocate, and always good for morale. Kayleen McCabe has been swinging hammers and toting toolbelts since the ripe age of six, when she shadowed her dad’s overhaul of their Denver home. In 2009 she beat dozens of male competitors for the grand prize on TV's Stud Finder: her own series called DIY Network's Rescue Renovation. She’s an advocate of trade careers, with her goal to shed light on the rising demand for trade professionals that’s outpacing vocational training, and to help restore America’s respect for the trades.  Carley Ferrara is a blacksmith, woodworker, and mom. Her Iron Mountain Forge &amp; Furniture has grown into an entire team of wildly talented craftspeople, creating custom pieces for clients all over the world. In 2015, Carley was featured as a contestant on the inaugural season of 'Ellen's Design Challenge' which airs on HGTV. Her upbeat enthusiasm for hands-on creativity exudes from everything she makes.  We talk about DIY projects to tackle with at home, staying connected while social distancing, DIY ideas for keeping kids moving and building brain cells at home, and their fun healthy tips. <br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

Is your extended family growing and your house is still the same size? Yeah, we have that challenge, too.  We've invited Kim Lewis, the powerfully creative lead designer behind more than 120 homes for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and is the designer for FYI's 'Tiny House Nation.'  When The Washington Post asked Kim how to max storage in a small space, Kim answered:  "Storage can come in all shapes and sizes. I say let's get creative with your furniture. You can use things like vintage suitcases stacked as your side tables...Each suitcase is a storage space. Storage ottomans work well as a linen closet! For food storage, I suggest a butcher cart in the kitchen, with bins below -- I have a tiny kitchen, and this is what I do! Also acts as a great island when you're prepping food. For outdoor gear, I have suspended a wood pallet from the ceiling with eye hooks."  Theresa challenged Kim's holiday entertaining creativity with a 1-cubic-foot box challenge.

I want to see what it's like to succeed.  Life happens to all of us. It's what we do about it that counts; how we handle the obstacles.

In our world, where we can become overwhelmed by our own selves, we can all gain from using some of the ideas design experts use when designing for people who have sensory issues.  Today we're learning about designing for autism from three insightful designers, HGTV 'Design Star' Jennifer Bertrand, triology e-book series author on 'Designing for Autism' AJ Paron-Wildes, and Sensory Interior Design founder Carolyn Feder.  Jennifer Bertrand is best known for winning HGTV's 'Design Star' and her show 'Paint Over!' on HGTV. She  also has designed for Ronald McDonald House. But more than just design talent, Jennifer is raising her son Winston, who has mixed lymphatic and venous malformations.   AJ Paron-Wildes is an accomplished interior designer in healthcare and education, with her design work appearing on HGTV, PBS, and Bob Vila. She also has a son with autism. In her triology e-book series on 'Designing for Autism,' AJ focuses each book on three stages of life, from birth to early childhood, childhood to adolescence, and from adulthood to geriatrics.   Carolyn Feder founded Sensory Interior Design to help clients overcome sensory overload. By focusing on the sensory issues inside a space, Carolyn uses her design skills to help others experience relief from sensory overload. And she finds that the relief is found from the entire family, not just the one diagnosed with autism.  We believe that design is a powerful tool, and used with care and sensitivity, design can truly change life for the better.<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

She's sharing some of the pallet inspiration and how-to from the site's recent pallet contest, and their archive of hundreds of DIY pallet projects.DIY pallet projects can be amazing additions to your landscape, but there are a few things you might want to know before you get started. Let's talk.  We've proclaimed HGTV host Matt Blashaw as the 'Pallet King' for his creative DIY pallet projects featured on DIY Network's 'Yard Crashers.' Not only has he designed and shared the how-to for his famous pallet into a chair project with Men's Health and USA Today, he also did an entire Las Vegas background in pallets for a showgirl. We believe that Matt has successfully created the current and trendy DIY love for DIY pallet projects.  So whether you are curious about DIYing with pallets or if you've gotten started on a pallet project and are looking for a few tips from the 'Pallet King' Matt Blashaw, you'll want to tune into this episode. (Oh, and when you watch the YouTube show, you'll get to take a peek at Matt in his kitchen, too.)  Matt is a licensed contractor and a licensed Realtor. His on-camera career started in 2006 when he participated in DIY Network's 'Stud Finder.' Since then he has hosted Yard Crashers, Deconstruction, Project Xtreme, Money Hunters, Blog Cabin and Professional Grade, and specials such as Cool Tools Builders Show, Stud Finder 2009, HGTV's Rose Parade coverage and Worst Kitchen In America. Currently you'll find him on HGTV's "Vacation House for Free' that airs Sunday afternoons.  We hope you enjoy this episode of MyFixitUpLife.

So let's do it in the dirt.  While a gardening death match might sound interesting, gardening jujitsu is using the simple and awesome power of plants to make your home, your family, and your world more comfortable.

Quick example of gardening jujitsu: The baking, end-of-day sun can practically melt asphalt. And in most houses that means the HVAC---you know, the cool air we all pay for---is working overtime.

Theresa's dad has Alzheimer's.  A few months ago, her family decided that to help preserve the health and vibrancy of her mom, it was time to move dad into a memory care facility. Her parents had lived together for 47+ years, so it wasn't a decision made lightly.  Theresa kept coming back to one simple question: How can designers help caregivers extend the time at home for a family member with Alzheimer's?  So on this episode of MyFixitUpLife talk, Theresa is sharing a quick tour of the common area at her dad's memory care facility, and talking with a few experts to explore how designers can reach into their bag of essentials to make a difference for families.  Someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's every 67 seconds and it's the 6th leading cause of deaths in the U.S., so we're betting that this is a conversation that affects most all of us.  Marilucy Lopes is talking about how caregivers can modify the home environment, from painting black on doors that shouldn't be opened to using familiar elements from hobbies and family photos to help trigger memories.  Lisa Burkholder from the Alzheimer's association's Delaware valley chapter is sharing why pattern can cause fear and confusion, about how including nature into the environment can be soothing, and how to connect with other families through the walk.  Mitzi Beach explores how color can both create order and confusion for someone who is memory impaired. Mitzi and Theresa are talking about how there is a parallel between caring for an Alzheimer's patient and a baby. There are tons of resources on how to baby-proof a home, but we are at a loss for resources when it comes to designing for Alzheimer's.<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

Today's guests are helping us get empowered and inspired to downsize Theresa's shoe 'collection.' Designer Genevieve Gorder, first known as the barefooted designer on TLC's 'Trading Spaces,' shares her design talent on HGTV's 'Genevieve's Renovation,' 'Dear Genevieve,' 'HGTV Star,' 'A Hero’s Welcome Home,' and hosting HGTV’s White House Christmas Specials, and her new lifestyle web series A Well Designed Life on ulive.com. An alumna of The School of Visual Arts, Genevieve Gorder has worked in studios throughout Europe and New York City.  Kenton Lee created 'The Shoe That Grows' while he was living and working in Nairobi, Kenya in 2007. One day he noticed a little girl in a white dress who had shoes that were way too small for her feet. That led to questions about why. And finally an idea: “Wouldn’t it be great if there was a shoe that could adjust and expand – so that kids always had a pair of shoes that fit?” Boom.  More than 2 billion people in the world suffer from soil-transmitted parasites and diseases.  The Shoe That Grows adjusts five sizes and last five years, providing better protection and better health for children who have shoes that don’t fit, or no shoes at all.

How do know what your clients really want?</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/designer-diagnosis-how-do-know-what-your-clients-really-want--63401753</link><description><![CDATA[Top designers are talking about their strategies for ‘designer diagnosis,’ sleuthing out what people really want in their interior design.  Designers tread a careful path when trying to find out your true interior design dreams. What we say we like, isn't necessarily what we really want in our homes. It's the designer’s challenge to decipher, extrapolate, and really compare your taste, style, and day-to-day lifestyle. Being able to translate what you say, who you are, and what you do into a design that comforts, inspires, and delights you is what separates the very best designers from the rest.  We are talking to three extraordinary designers on today’s show about their ‘designer diagnosis’ style. The ‘Latina Martha Stewart’’ Vanessa DeLeon and the ‘Two Lovely Gays’ pair Russell Whitehead and Jordan Cluroe.   Vanessa DeLeon may be best recognized from NBC’s ‘American Dream Builders.’ She also has shared her design expertise on Food Networks, Restaurant Impossible, HGTV’s Generation Renovation, Designer Challenge &amp; more. Vanessa has a signature 'Glamilistic' style that's developed into luxurious and succulent design experiences. But it all started with designing a Barbie house. And, yes, we’ll be talking about the ‘50 Shades of Grey’ bedroom she designed, too.   The ‘Two Lovely Gays’ Russell and Jordan became sensations in Britain after participating in the The Great Interior Design Challenge on BBC Two. With an exuberance and cutting-edge style the team are making over spaces that dazzle our senses. But the real star of their clan may be their dog Buckley.<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

Tune in.   Green grass rules most lawns, but is that the only thing that makes a lawn? Mark started his career in home improvement as a landscaper in Cape Cod and has strong opinions about grass, yards, and lawn equipment. He's often seen 'walking the property' and loves to care for their yard. Theresa is not a lawn expert, and sees a landscape as art in terms of color, shape and texture.   So we've invited two landscaping experts to join Mark &amp; Theresa to talk about lawns and yards. Chris Lambton and Roger Cook are diving in to share favorite mowers, spring planting tips, landscaping pet peeves, ways to enjoy a yard, water conservation issues, and dealing with the new view of what is a 'lawn.'   Chris Lambton is DIY Network's 'Yard Crashers' host and landscaping expert. A Cape Cod native, he and his wife Peyton Lambton hosted 'Going Yard' on HGTV. Often seen on The Weather Channel with his landscaping expert dad, Chris' passion for yardscaping is infectious.   Roger Cook is the landscape contractor for the Emmy Award-winning This Old House, and appears on its sister show, Ask This Old House.

Tune in.   Green grass rules most lawns, but is that the only thing that makes a lawn? Mark started his career in home improvement as a landscaper in Cape Cod and has strong opinions about grass, yards, and lawn equipment. He's often seen 'walking the property' and loves to care for their yard. Theresa is not a lawn expert, and sees a landscape as art in terms of color, shape and texture.   So we've invited two landscaping experts to join Mark &amp; Theresa to talk about lawns and yards. Chris Lambton and Roger Cook are diving in to share favorite mowers, spring planting tips, landscaping pet peeves, ways to enjoy a yard, water conservation issues, and dealing with the new view of what is a 'lawn.'   Chris Lambton is DIY Network's 'Yard Crashers' host and landscaping expert. A Cape Cod native, he and his wife Peyton Lambton hosted 'Going Yard' on HGTV. Often seen on The Weather Channel with his landscaping expert dad, Chris' passion for yardscaping is infectious.   Roger Cook is the landscape contractor for the Emmy Award-winning This Old House, and appears on its sister show, Ask This Old House. Roger motivates aspiring green thumbs and inspires stumped professionals with expert advice learned over the course of a lifetime in landscaping.<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

We're asking expert builder and craftsman Paul Dimeo and blacksmith Carley Eisenberg.   Stonehenge is probably the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. What seems to have started as an earthwork enclosure, it developed into the ring of stones that is highly recognizable by architecture and history geeks alike.   So how did the Neolithic people build Stonehenge? It's a topic that has been discussed and discussed. We're fascinated by the engineering feats and organizational achievements that went into setting the stones. But more than that, we're curious how we could build it today.   Here are the challenges:   1) Dig the ditch, about 320 feet in diameter. It is about 20 feet wide and about 5 or more feet deep.   2 ) Transport 25-ton sarsen stones, which are a type of sandstone, about 20 miles.   3) Transport 2- to 5-ton bluestones about 250 miles.   4) Work the stones into shape.   5) Create mortise and tenons to fit the upright stones to the lintels.   6) Erect the sarsen and bluestones into a monument   Paul Dimeo is best known as the carpenter on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Paul began his interest in home renovation when he was five years old, after his family's home was destroyed by fire. Currently Paul can be seen on National Geographic's 'Building Wild.'   Carley Eisenberg recently appeared on Ellen's Design Challenge on HGTV, sharing his innovative design abilities with her on-camera partner Jeff Devlin.

So, we've been hearing some mainstream news sources talk about what's going to be hot as 2015 trends, and we're skeptical. If the mason jar and pallet obsession hasn't faded by now, will there be something to knock those longtime favorites off the top spot of choice DIY fixations? What will take the top spots as the 2015 DIY trends?   We're dishing with some of our favorite experts about what they think will be the top 2015 DIY trends. Guests include DIY Network's "I Hate My Yard" host and landscaping expert Sara Bendrick and color expert Kate Smith from Sensational Color.   Sara Bendrick is a landscape designer who started as a DIYer by sewing clothes for her dolls and creating a worm farm. She's the host of DIY Network's "I Hate My Yard,' and has a degree in Landscape Architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.   "I feel very fortunate to have a career that can combine artistic expression &amp; environmental awareness with purpose &amp; function," Sara Bendrick.   Kate Smith is a well-recognized expert sought out for her unmatched ability to show her clients how to use color to gain recognition and generate revenue. She is the Chief Color Maven at Sensational Color, a company that provides color knowledge and know-how to corporations in the home industry. Kate is an inspirational keynote speaker and seminar leader, blending color theory and psychology into entertaining and informative talks that bring color to life.   "Long before my desk was covered with Pantone decks and paint chips, my desire to put colors together was satisfied by a big box of still-in-the-wrapper Crayola factory-perfect crayons," Kate Smith<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

Even candy.   As we're about to enter what Theresa calls 'candy season,' which lasts from pre-Halloween through post-Easter every year, we're finding out what beer pairs best with candy from the Beeroness, Jackie Dodd.

Does your home look like 50 shades of greige? Let's talk color with Chris &amp; Roger Hazard.  The soft tones of greys and beiges can be calming and soothing in many places, but when your entire home inside-and-outside is shades of greige, there might be a gigantic opportunity to add a bit of your personality and your laughter-side into some of your spaces.  We're talking with designers Chris Stout-Hazard and Roger Hazard about how to dip our toes in the world of color, and how to build up the courage to make a big leap.  Roger Hazard is internationally known as an innovative designer and the star of the first real estate-related show on U.S. television, Sell This House. Roger introduced Americans to the concept of staging, igniting the real estate industry and paving the way for the dozens of real estate-focused shows currently found on cable channels. A constant collaborator with Roger, Chris Stout-Hazard leads design for their furniture and home decor company, Roger + Chris, acts as the go-to guy for all technical projects, and balances Roger's rustic style with a modern aesthetic.  You can follow Roger and Chris' adventures remodeling their historic home and see their collection of home furnishings at www.rogerandchris.com.<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

But what often gets left un-talked about is the value of speed.   And if you want to know how to sell your house---fast---you want to talk to realtor Danny Griffin of A&amp;E's 60-Seconds to Sell. Along with his brother John, the Griffin brothers are high-stakes realtors turning the typical home sale technique on its head. They list a house at about half its traditional market value. This starts a feeding frenzy of deal-hungry buyers. They call it the “quick sale auction”.   They say it works.   You can see the action as it happens on 60 Seconds to Sell. (Saturdays at12:00pm on A&amp;E).  The trick is to get buyers' attention and then let greed, desire and market forces take over. Once buyers smell a deal, they’re drawn to a two-hour, one-day open house and auction where the brothers start a bidding process (war?) and let the circling buyers feed with their checkbooks.   The technique infuriates some traditional realtors, but Danny says it works and susses out what the home would eventually sell for anyway, minus all the waiting.   What does this do if you want to know how to sell your house quickly? It creates a possible path to get the price you'd get anyway, without the carrying costs of a house that languishes for weeks and months on the market. It makes it possible for a homeowner to get cash in hand to move when they want to and get the new house they're buying without someone else snatching it up from under them.   It's a gamble.

From stunning wall art to refinishing furniture, and pretty much everything in-between, Pauline's work has been featured on Food Network and featured on Dremel's website.   Pauline is a woodworker, crafter, and fix it myself-er. She supports the belief that things can be altered to fit our needs, and always looking for opportunities to send something back into circulation.   Her dad built the house her family lived in with his own two hands after work and on the weekends, and Pauline grew up around the tools and the construction.    She's a supporter of compulsive remodeling decisions, and not just talking about her own house.    "I discovered that I like finding value in seemingly insignificant things. If I could impress upon anyone one thing, it would be that things can change to be something different. Something better.

From stunning wall art to refinishing furniture, and pretty much everything in-between, Pauline's work has been featured on Food Network and featured on Dremel's website.   Pauline is a woodworker, crafter, and fix it myself-er. She supports the belief that things can be altered to fit our needs, and always looking for opportunities to send something back into circulation.   Her dad built the house her family lived in with his own two hands after work and on the weekends, and Pauline grew up around the tools and the construction.    She's a supporter of compulsive remodeling decisions, and not just talking about her own house.    "I discovered that I like finding value in seemingly insignificant things. If I could impress upon anyone one thing, it would be that things can change to be something different. Something better. Nothing has to stay insignificant," Pauline Henderson of MyAlteredState.co?<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

From finished and fixtures to plumbing and ventilation, we're racing through the biggest mistakes that can thwart any DIYer's progress and confidence.

As host of DIY Network's I Hate My Bath series, Jeff gives homeowners hope with economical yet clever bathroom design ideas using amazing new products and cool tools. Forget about it costing almost a year's salary to renovate your bathroom.

Jeff Devlin proves that home renovation can be enjoyable and not intimidating. As a Licensed Contractor and Host of 4 successful Television Shows, his fun and down to earth approach takes both viewers and clients on an empowering journey and before you know it, you’ve hung out with a really cool guy and tackled that daunting project you’ve put off for months! This self-proclaimed big ham is a carpentry nut and family man who can design and build anything.

We're talking what you need to know before you get started with Hoosier Homemade's Liz and Doug.   Hoosier Homemade Liz Lantham wood pallet deck  Hoosier Homemade's Doug and Liz Latham built this wood pallet deck for their side yard. We're finding out what they learned along the way.  Building with wood pallets to create a deck can seem like a time-saver or a headache. And we're betting that's it's a little bit of both. Which is why we're talking with Liz and Doug from Hoosier Homemade who recently built a wood pallet deck for their side yard.   What kind of site prep do you need to do? What about footings? What about the openings between the boards? And how do you secure all of those pallets together?   Yes, we have a lot of questions about building a wood pallet deck.   "Building with Wood Pallets are all the rage, and I love how cool and rustic they are, so I was excited about the idea. One problem though, Wood Pallets are often times too rough looking with broken pieces and the slats are too far apart. He [my husband] assured me that he knew of a place that sold Wood Pallets and they weren’t all built with large openings." -- Liz from Hoosier Homemade   Liz and her husband Doug strive to help you Be Heroes to your Family through easy DIY projects, creative crafts and simple everyday projects, including hundreds of cupcake designs.

We're talking with design expert Jennifer Bertrand about how to do the trend right, so our spaces don't end up looking like an episode of 'Dallas' from the 80s.      Our guest Jennifer also has appeared on 'Paint-Over' that showcased her speciality of decorative painting, and 'HGTV Showdown,' which was an intense duel where HGTV designers battled in head-to-head competitions.     Raised in a military family, Jennifer spent her childhood moving to different Air Force bases around the world. She says her passion for design began when she saw her mother "magically" transform their modest surroundings into an elegant environment each time they moved. The years she spent living abroad further shaped her love of design, offering her inspiration throughout Europe, from decorative grand palaces to rustic outdoor antique markets. After teaching art in elementary schools in Italy and Kansas, Jennifer, along with her English husband, Chris, now own a design business in Olathe, Kansas.      Find out more about Jennifer and her design projects at BertrandDesigns.com.<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

From prep to color pop, from deck to decore, let’s make the tough stuff easy.

On this episode of MyFixitUpLife.Our trek starts with HGTV and Food Network designer Taniya Nayak. From House Hunters on Vacation to Restaurant: Impossible to the Billion Dollar Block, Taniya Nayak is never at rest unless she is on the move.  Known for her sunny smile and sharp eye, Taniya Nayak’s knack for bringing rich textures and unexpected finishes together with practical, real-life functionality has made her a go-to expert. She is currently a part of the HGTV series 'House Hunters on Vacation' and as a featured designer on Food Network's 'Restaurant: Impossible.'  And we change planes and go ship-to-shore and more with AphroChic’s ever-eclectic Jeanine Hays and husband Bryan Mason. Taking her inspiration from the world over, Jeanine sends us postcards from the edge of design.  Offering home decor products inspired by cultures around the globe, AphroChic sets out to prove that ethnic heritage and culture can go hand in hand with the luxurious and the modern. To embody their personal vision of a new kind of design the two coined the phrase, “Modern.Soulful.Style.” – design that embraces culture and the unique admixture of the traditional and the contemporary that helps to define us all.

And shares her easy weekend projects that include turning a changing table into a bar cart.  We talk about trends in surfaces, new patterns, colors, and technology with experts from Formica.  And we take a long view at the home improvement industry with Ron Hazelton and talk about how 3D printing is changing how we build, create, and plan projects.  From dirty boots and dust-ups to totally on-trend, it’s a design feast right now on MyFixitUpLife.<br /><br />If you need quick advice for a home improvement project, <a href="https://myfixituplife.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">check out our 3,300 blogs</a> or <a href="https://youtube.com/myfixituplife" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1,000 vidoes</a>.

From small fixes and home ownership to kids and finding a safe place to play, they’re taking you inside one community in Columbus, Ohio, where hundreds of volunteers gathered to help make a difference.  HGTV’s Carter Oosterhouse and his wife Amy Smart talk about what they’re doing in this neighborhood and around the country to help kids live healthier and happier. They also talk about their favorite playground equipment when they were kids, what Carter’s Kids means to them personally, and Amy talks about her upcoming movie Single Mom’s Club that will be released in 2014.  DIY Network and HGTV host Grundy is sharing details on Blog Cabin, his Mama’s cooking and how she is both his mom and his dad, and how he works to help communities with Rebuilding Together.  Mark and Theresa talk with the owner of the preschool and a resident of the neighborhood since 1945 about how the changes in the neighborhood are affecting their community and the kids.  They talk with Crate&amp;Barrel CEO Sascha Bopp about his perspective on making home, volunteering, and building a treehouse with his son. Jeff Decker from Lowe’s, Homes on the Hill’s Stever Torsell, and Cassy Patterson from Rebuilding Together Central Ohio talk about they’re making a difference at home in this Columbus neighborhood.

We're sitting around the table to talk kitchen design with HGTV Remodels' Laurie March, Remodeling magazine's Lauren Hunter, HGTV contributor and interior designer Lori Gilder, and Residential Building Products and Technology editor Nigel Maynard.  Broadcasting live from inside the Wellborn Cabinet castle at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, style stands off with rough-and-ready renovation realities when HGTV Remodels' Laurie March takes tough design and remodeling challenges head on. From lounging around to the laundry room, Laurie hammers home style.  We talk trends in cabinet color, profile, and finish. And we talk what's new from inside-the-drawer lighting to weighing-in on grey as the 'new white.'  And from HGTV’s Designers’ Challenge and Designing For The Sexes, Lori Gilder gives us golden guidance to get through remodeling, renovating and design dilemmas big and bigger.  Remodeling Magazine expert editor and products pro Lauren Hunter reports on what she’s scoping out on the show floor.

We're sitting around the table to talk kitchen design with HGTV Remodels' Laurie March, Remodeling magazine's Lauren Hunter, HGTV contributor and interior designer Lori Gilder, and Residential Building Products and Technology editor Nigel Maynard.  Broadcasting live from inside the Wellborn Cabinet castle at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, style stands off with rough-and-ready renovation realities when HGTV Remodels' Laurie March takes tough design and remodeling challenges head on. From lounging around to the laundry room, Laurie hammers home style.  We talk trends in cabinet color, profile, and finish. And we talk what's new from inside-the-drawer lighting to weighing-in on grey as the 'new white.'  And from HGTV’s Designers’ Challenge and Designing For The Sexes, Lori Gilder gives us golden guidance to get through remodeling, renovating and design dilemmas big and bigger.  Remodeling Magazine expert editor and products pro Lauren Hunter reports on what she’s scoping out on the show floor. The always cool Nigel Maynard, editor of Residential Building Products and Technology, talks tech and top notch products.  From brilliant bathrooms to classic kitchens, super storage to sleek design what works and brings a smile to the soul is well born. Style say hello to substance.

Take the journey from a messed-up and mangled rental unit to a crisp and sparkling modern home for a young family. Master Carpenter Norm Abram dials us in on the house's history and uber up-to-date woodworking detail.

Emily, the season five champion of HGTV Design Star, brings her eclectic style to HGTV. With her new series, Secrets From a Stylist, Emily transforms one room into three totally different spaces using a mix of both classical and contemporary design. A prop stylist originally from Portland, Ore., she developed a creative nature — her family often made their own clothes and reupholstered their own furniture. Emily studied industrial design at The Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Soon after, she became a high-demand photo shoot stylist for top lifestyle and design publications and national retailers.  Also, DIYNetwork blogger Emily Winters from MerryPad.com talks about her DIY-approach to fixing up her home.  And Mark and Theresa talk about inexpensive fun stuff you can make with your kids that inspires creativity and fires-up the scientist inside you.

Monica Pedersen took a break from presenting gorgeous new products from Kohler to check in with Mark &amp; Theresa at the Formica booth. Theresa asks Monica about surprising the HGTV Dream Home winner. Mark &amp; Theresa talk with Formica's President Mitch Quint, who goes below the surface of one of the most utilized—and important—surfaces in the home: our kitchen and bath counters. Formica is getting it done, coming up big with everything from new green initiatives to high-end features in more affordable product lines. Formica's Todd Vezina talks design and countertops. The 180fx line is completely different–and now you can get the realistic look of granite for less money in these beautiful laminate surfaces. The 180fx line has become one of Formica' s most successful product launches in the company' s 100 years. And these gorgeous laminate surfaces are not just for counters but can even be hung as wall art. Finally, Timothy, from Charles &amp; Hudson, talks cool countertop materials and learns from Theresa about the relationship-saving toilet at Toto.

Mark &amp; Theresa are talking hot new design app, fresh colors, and locking down on smart weatherization to keep your family snug through every season. Mark &amp; Theresa talk weatherization with Alan Hubbell from DuPont. Moisture always finds a way into any building, and DuPont's Tyvek allows that moisture to breath out of the house and escape into the environment. Mark &amp; Theresa also enjoyed the demos by Mike Guertin, Mark LaLiberte, and Carl Hagstrum that they were sharing with the attendees inside the world of DuPont at the International Builders' Show. If you haven't checked out DuPont Corian in a long time, you're definitely missing out. And while it may be hard to imagine the variety of colors and options that DuPont Corian offers, the company is making it easier for you to select the perfect product for your home. They now offer a free app for iPhone and iPad, so you can match colors and order samples without even leaving your home. Another fun way to help you visualize your next project is their online design tool My Room Designer. DuPont Corian's Laura Dwyer talks about the new Private Collection featuring her favorite: Witch Hazel, which is featured in the New American Home 2011. Laura also explains their Illumination Series, which is an absolute 'wow.' You can actually use light behind the surface to add another dimension to your space. Check out more at DuPont.

Mark &amp; Theresa are talking hot new design app, fresh colors, and locking down on smart weatherization to keep your family snug through every season. Mark &amp; Theresa talk weatherization with Alan Hubbell from DuPont. Moisture always finds a way into any building, and DuPont's Tyvek allows that moisture to breath out of the house and escape into the environment. Mark &amp; Theresa also enjoyed the demos by Mike Guertin, Mark LaLiberte, and Carl Hagstrum that they were sharing with the attendees inside the world of DuPont at the International Builders' Show. If you haven't checked out DuPont Corian in a long time, you're definitely missing out. And while it may be hard to imagine the variety of colors and options that DuPont Corian offers, the company is making it easier for you to select the perfect product for your home. They now offer a free app for iPhone and iPad, so you can match colors and order samples without even leaving your home. Another fun way to help you visualize your next project is their online design tool My Room Designer. DuPont Corian's Laura Dwyer talks about the new Private Collection featuring her favorite: Witch Hazel, which is featured in the New American Home 2011. Laura also explains their Illumination Series, which is an absolute 'wow.' You can actually use light behind the surface to add another dimension to your space. Check out more at DuPont.
