The Kitchen Cousins will speak three times on Saturday, Jan. 25 about their remodeling adventures at the he NARI Home Improvement Show, which continues through Sunday, Jan. 26 at the I-X Center.
The HGTV stars will take questions from audience members on the Main Stage at noon, 1:30 and 3 p.m.
NARI offers homeowners a chance to hear advice from experts like the Kitchen Cousins, and see exhibits such as the Ultimate Outdoor Escape exhibit.
The Ultimate Outdoor Escape exhibit, sponsored by Land Creations Landscaping Co. in Columbia Station, highlights the trend of bringing the indoors to the outdoors, said designer Teal Rickards. It shows homeowners what's possible when creating a spacious and comfortable outdoor living space.
The exhibit is divided into seating, culinary and relaxation zones, Rickards said. Granite countertops, a built-in refrigerator and grill would make it a snap to cook and serve a meal to guests in the nearby conversation grouping.
A pergola created a privacy screen around the hot tub, big-screen television and nearby rain showerhead and drain. You could rinse off before hopping in the hot tub, 'or on a hot day, you can cool off,' Rickards said. On cool nights, a portable fire pit that looked like an old-fashioned wood stove could provide a bit of warmth.
This kind of private-yet-open pergola could be added off a master bedroom, he said.
There are lots of other exhibits to see at the NARI show. Don't miss the display of seven deluxe doghouses designed and built by students at the Lorain County Joint Vocational School. NARI contractors donated all the materials, said NARI spokesman Ed 'Flash' Ferenc.
There's a lighthouse doghouse, a 'Mail Pooch Barn,' a salt-box doghouse, a pentagon-shaped one and one that resembles a school house. NARI attendees can bid on the doghouses via eBay, and money raised will benefit the Animal Protective League, Ferenc said.
'It's an educational experience for students and it benefits the APL,' he said.
