The #WalkThrew: Is it really a house trend or just hype?

Finding a home improvement contractor just got a whole lot easier.

If you have ever thought about remodeling your home, you know that it could get complicated in a hurry. And while we're licensed contractors and have been banging around in the remodeling world for more than a decade, we still run into situations where we need to find a reputable electrician or plumber. So Mark and Theresa were psyched to learn about HomeAdvisor's solution. It's like Tindr for construction.

Mark and Theresa also are talking remodeling advice, trends, tips, and design ideas in this episode from the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show.

Guests on this episode include our construction idols Norm Abram and Tom Silva from This Old House, Brooke Gabbert from HomeAdvisor, DIY Network's 'Rescue Renovation' host Kayleen McCabe, HGTV 'Design Star' and Kohler expert Tyler Wisler, celebrity chef Joe Arvin, and HGTV's 'Income Property' host Scott McGillivray.

Like most American designers and remodelers, we're obsessed with kitchen and bathroom design trends. Here's what cooking this year.

We were lucky and honored for Formica Corporation to host our talk show at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Vegas. Surrounded by amazing designs from nature-inspired to bold graphics from Jonathan Adler's new collection with Formica Corporation, we talked with the trendsetters in kitchen and bathroom makeovers.

Guests on this episode include National Kitchen and Bath Association president Maria Stapperfenne, DIY Network's 'I Hate My Kitchen' host James Young, Amanda LeBlanc of Organized Living, president of Formica North America Mitch Quint, and Dan DiClerico from Consumer Reports.

If you want to know what the design insiders are predicting for trends this year, you'll want to tune into this episode.
