The Buffalo Home Show welcomes dynamic husband and wife duo, John and Whitney Spinks, from the popular HGTV program Flipping The Block, Saturday March 7th and Sunday, March 8th at 1pm and 4pm.
From easy, affordable DIY hacks to tips and tricks that will lavishly transform any interior on a tight budget, John and Whitney's insights are sure to give anyone a leg up in their next big renovation project. They will also share behind-the-scenes secrets from the show, including before-and-after pictures and how they won so many room challenges on a tight $37,000 budget.
The young couple from Jacksonville, Florida became instant stars on Flipping The Block, taking on three other teams in a home makeover challenge. John's background in building construction management and Whitney's passion for interior design go hand-in-hand. Together, their creative renovation techniques transformed fixer-upper condos into beautifully upgraded properties that landed the biggest resale value in the end.
We asked the Spinks a few questions to help us gear up for their presentations this weekend.
Q: What has been your favorite remodeling project thus far?
John & Whitney: "Our favorite would have to be the full renovation we completed on a 960 sq. ft. condo on HGTV's Flipping The Block. The place was a total dump to begin with, and the Before & After photos show that anything can be beautiful after some much needed love."
Q: What is your go-to tool for 2015?
John & Whitney: "Does a tool box count?! We just purchased a rolling tool box, which is so convenient to wheel everything that e need right out of the truck! The tools that we use all the time (drills, drives, hammers, etc.) are always handy."
Q: What is one simple pro tip that you would give to start-up DIY-ers out there?
John & Whitney: "Start small! It takes time to develop your skills, so don't give up when projects fail. Because they will! Just keep going and you'll get familiar with what works and what doesn't. We started with paint - painting furniture, then building furniture, then trying out hand at tiling, etc."
Q: What one piece of advice or tip would you give to people who plan to attend the Buffalo Home Show?
John & Whitney: "Not only is the home show a great place to get inspiration, but also don't be afraid to ask questions about the products you are interested in. If you are preparing for a kitchen remodel, ask the kitchen vendors about the different cabinets they carry."
John and Whitney Spinks are ready to prove to visitors that home renovation doesn't have to be overly complicated. The Buffalo Home Show hopes to see you get inspired at the Spinks' interactive presentations on Saturday, March 7th and Sunday, March 8th at 1pm and 4pm. Don't have tickets yet?

Every homeowner likes to think
that they are the DIY master of the renovation world, but sometimes
– whether they want to admit it or not – homeowners are not as good with power
tools as they think they are. It is important to know when to step back and ask
for help, which is why Edmonton Renovation Show presenter Jamie Banfield of
Jamie Banfield Design has given us the do’s and don’ts of bringing in an
expert. Hint: spending a little extra on a designer might actually save your
budget!
If you have a full vision for your renovation, if you understand products and know where you need to go, Jamie suggests bringing in a designer because they can get you discounts that you would likely never snag as a consumer.
"Designers typically will take 7-10% of what typical renovation budgets should be, but those designers can fight for discounts, know when to buy thing/when there are sales going on, and know what areas to put cash into."
Jamie also says that good designers will have contacts for trades, whether it's a dry-waller or cabinet installer. Even if you're a self-proclaimed handyperson, hiring a designer could potentially nab you some great deals on products and installation.
"If you cheap out on the install you could spend $20,000 on cabinets, save $2,000 by doing the installation yourself, and the whole thing will look terrible. Or you could buy a $5,000 kitchen and spend $1,500 on the installation, and just by having it installed correctly, it'll look like a million bucks."
For The DIY Master
If you have a full vision for your renovation, if you understand products and know where you need to go, Jamie suggests bringing in a designer because they can get you discounts that you would likely never snag as a consumer.
"Designers typically will take 7-10% of what typical renovation budgets should be, but those designers can fight for discounts, know when to buy thing/when there are sales going on, and know what areas to put cash into."
Jamie also says that good designers will have contacts for trades, whether it's a dry-waller or cabinet installer. Even if you're a self-proclaimed handyperson, hiring a designer could potentially nab you some great deals on products and installation.
For The Not-So-Renovation-Savvy
If you're a renovation newbie, Jamie highly recommends bringing in a designer because they'll know what steps to take and what steps not to take in terms of how to make the most of your new space.
"Professionals can help homeowners make better choices. Designers understand the details going together. They'll know that the countertops are going to be installed on Tuesday, and the plumber is coming on Wednesday. Whereas a lot of consumers won't have that plan of attack."
Designers think of the right planning and logistical aspects of a renovation project, which is definitely something that many consumers don't really consider. If you're just getting started in the renovation world, professional help is key to saving time and money.
Overall, Jamie says the most efficient way to save your renovation budget is to put the most attention on installation. Let's say you're redoing your kitchen and you've decided the best way to save money is to install the cabinets by yourself. This could actually lead to costly mistakes and sloppy handywork.
Calling in experts can save you money, and Jamie has a million tricks up his sleeve to help you create an elegant space on a tight budget. Check out his presentations at the Edmonton Renovation Show, January 23 - 25, to find all the tips you'll need to get started on your project!

The Edmonton Renovation Show and BC Home + Garden Show are just around the corner, and we are so thrilled to have Bryan
Baeumler attending this year! You may recognize him from HGTV’s hit show Leave it to Bryan.
Taking on a renovation project can be stressful enough, let alone in the New Year after all the holiday hustle and bustle. A key issue to think about in 2015 is how to tackle a big project on a tight post-holiday budget. Where do you begin? An expert himself, Bryan let us in on a few tips on how to start your reno right without breaking the bank.
1. Know Your Budget - “You need to have everything budgeted and
planned first. That’s definitely the first step.”
You may be eager to break ground on your home improvement project, but Bryan cautions homeowners to put down the sledgehammer and come up with a solid budget and a list of priorities before getting down to business.
2. Know When to Bring in Professional Help - “I normally say if you’re standing in one
spot, staring at one thing, scratching your head with no idea what to do, it’s
probably a good idea to explore the possibility of hiring someone to help you
out.”
Bryan says that hiring a builder might
actually help your budget, as a professional will know where to start and how
to do things properly. Bringing in help could mean avoiding costly D.I.Y.
renovation mistakes.
3. Know Where to Focus - “Generally what I recommend is spending
your budget on the most permanent thing. You want to prioritize the bigger jobs
that are going to last longer.”
Bryan will be sharing more helpful tips and
tricks on the Main Stage at the Edmonton Renovation Show and the BC Home +Garden Show! Be sure to check out his presentation and have all of your
renovation questions answered. Remember to buy your show tickets early to get the best prices - right now you can get two tickets for the price of one with our Facebook promotion. Visit our Facebook page to learn more!

Kansas City may be buried in snow right now, but spring is just a couple of months away, making it the perfect time to prepare your home. ALH Home Renovations, LCC will be exhibiting at the Metropolitan Lawn & Garden Show this weekend, Feb. 7-9, 2014, but first, check out a few of their tips to help you along. They also shared advice to aid in renovating, remodeling and selecting the right design professional for your job.
Tell us something unique about your product or business that we wouldn't know.
We pride ourselves on the ALH Process. More specifically, our proposals and customer service. Our itemized proposals are divided up into 28 different categories, ranging from excavating to painting to drywall. This is an educational tool as much as a proposal. The client will know the different parts and pieces that go into a remodeling project, and this attention to detail is carried over to the rest of the project. We are a national customer service award-winning design and remodeling company. We feel that a clear and continuous line of communication between ourselves and the client from initial meeting to completion of project is the key to a successful project.
What trends do you follow?
We do not believe in following trends. Trends come and go. We believe in tailoring our remodeling project to the individual wants and needs of our clients. Although we are aware of design trends, we do not force clients to adhere to them. We advise our clients to make their spaces into what they want, not what is trendy. Because, at the end of the day, our clients are the ones living in the space, not us.
What steps should people take to prepare their homes for spring?
Keep an eye on your roofs to be sure that the snow is melting evenly and location of icicles. A roof with melting or unevenly melting snow may be a sign of inadequate insulation in your attic. Secondly, if you are considering any remodeling or landscaping projects, plan them now while the weather is cold. Proper preparations prior to construction gives you more time to enjoy the finished project in the warmer weather.
What is the most important thing to keep in mind when renovating a room?
Make sure you have realistic expectations before starting anything, scope of work, timeline and budget. Consider features you must have, what you can do without and how they impact the bottom line. Also, have an understanding of what you want the finished project to be.
Before you consult a professional, have an understanding of a few things:
What is your design style?
Things you like and don't like?
How is the space currently being used?
How do you want it to be used?
Design professionals can assist you in making these decisions, but having an understanding of what you want prior to consulting a professional will help streamline the design phase of your project. Finally, make all design decision prior to construction. Living in a disturbed space can quickly become stressful, so knowing what is going where before construction helps the project to move quickly and minimize the disruption to your daily life.
Is there anything special that show attendees should look forward to at your booth?
Come check out our 2013 NARI REMY award winning projects!

Give your home and garden a fresh look for the new year with ideas and inspiration from Kansas City Homes & Gardens. Don't miss seeing the magazine during the Metropolitan Lawn & Garden Show and the Kansas City Remodeling Show Feb. 7-9, 2014 at the American Royal Center.

| 2014 trend: flex space. (Photo: KCH&G) |
Before you get started planning your renovations, take a look at some of these tips and trends KCH&G shared with us.
What are some trends we'll see this year?
Homeowners will continue to maximize space within their homes, with built-ins; special storage nooks for appliances, pets, etc.; bigger closets and garages and increased pantry space in the kitchen. Flexible space within open floor plans will continue to be a top request in the home-building industry. Aesthetically, you'll see more double-duty furnishings and colorful home decor accessories. Don't be afraid to incorporate some of the new 2014 colors of the year into your home, either in the form of throw pillows and vases (which are easy to change out) or as an accent wall. Homeowners can find more trends and ideas on our website at kchandg.com or on our blog at kchandg.com/blog.
 |

If someone wanted to make one change to their home or garden, what should it be?
Another continuing trend we'll see in 2014 is transitional indoor/outdoor space, those rooms that bring the outdoors in and vice versa.
 |
| Transition from inside to out. (Photo: KCH&G) |
If you're looking to remodel/add a space, sunrooms/screened-in porches, lanais/decks or an updated outdoor living space (including outdoor kitchens) will be well-received by friends and family (as well as by realtors/buyers if you're looking to sell one day).
 |
| Outdoor living space. (Photo: KCH&G) |
When planning a new home or garden space, what is the most important first step?
Be sure to research and use a local industry professional, including home builders, remodelers, architects, interior designers, landscape designers and contractors. (KCH&G's marketplace is a good starting point.) They'll be able to turn your dream into a reality in a professional manner.
Why should someone stop by and see you at the show?
We'll be giving out a variety of complimentary magazines, so if you missed a past issue, you can pick it up here. Each of our magazines features a wide range of ideas for the homeowner looking to remodel, build new, revamp their interiors or spruce up an outdoor living space. This year, KCH&G is partnering with Designer Consignment Furniture & Interiors on our booth design.
