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

Let's get after those flea markets, estate sales, and garage sales with strategies from expert and antiques matchmaker Cari Cucksey.

We're on the hunt to beef-up our treasure hunting skills with guest Cari Cucksey, owner of the RePurpose Shop and host of 'Cash & Cari.'

Since she was 12, Cari has been refurbishing just about anything she can get her hands on. From antique furniture and vintage toys to retro electronics and classic luxury cars, she's always on the lookout for obscure treasures as she combs through basements, attics and garages.

Cari’s network television hit, Cash & Cari currently airs on HGTV, the W Network, Choice TV and the History Channel in countries around the world.  The show follows Cari and her company, RePurpose Estate Services, as they set up Estate Sales on her client’s property, and unearth a host of historical and valuable items. Cari hunts for hidden treasures as she travels far and wide in search of anything she can flip and restore.

“You never know what you’re going to find,” Cari says. “Memorabilia, collectibles, hidden treasure or just junk! But everything was once worth something to somebody, and it can be again.”

We're talking with DecorGirl Lisa Smith about her roof garden to find out the real-deal of putting a garden on top of your house.

The romance and earth-friendly appeal of a roof garden can bump up against practicality of installation, maintenance, and those little surprises that we haven't yet thought of yet.

So last month, when we saw a blog post about living with a roof garden, we were hooked. We've always been fascinated by garden roofs, and had to know more.

And we're looking forward to talking with the blogger Lisa, who is an interior designer and artist who shares the real world of interior design on her blog DecorGirl.net.

"A roof with living plants does require weeding about once or twice a season, because birds like to “drop” seeds of unintended plants.  A once a year sprinkle with season long fertilizer helps to keep the plants looking luscious." --Lisa, DecorGirl

MyFixitUpLife's hosts Mark & Theresa are joined by expert salvaged woodworker Pauline Henderson to share essential tips to perfecting your next salvage project.

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?
