The HOME Show hosts discussed the Coastal Grandma aesthetic from the Early Spring HOME issue, describing it as a calming look with natural fibers, neutral slipcovered furniture, and high-end accents. They also quizzed Rich on whether he qualifies as a Coastal Grandma. Spoiler: he does not.

Jake Nuckols of DoorTek Garage Door Service discussed achieving the "Coastal Grandma" aesthetic using modern garage doors and Phantom Screens to blend indoor/outdoor living while blocking bugs. He stressed professional service over budget repairs, citing the long-term cost of improper spring sizing or installation. He also noted the advantages of Wi-Fi-enabled remote monitoring and the energy efficiency of high R-value insulated doors.

HOME editor Jen Redmond and Joelle Inpyn discussed book clubs (featured on page 48 of HOME's Early Spring issue) as a community-building tool. They suggested a "sweet spot" of about six members for deep discussion and varied perspectives. Tips for engagement included rotating genres, using Goodreads for recommendations, and choosing a meeting time, likeSaturday brunch or late at night, that suits the group.
