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

MyFixitUpLife's hosts Mark & Theresa are dishing about when cheap is worth it when Kayleen McCabe joins them for this interview.

Licensed contractor and 2009 Stud Finder winner Kayleen McCabe found her passion for remodeling after tackling an entire kitchen renovation in her early twenties. Since then, Kayleen has used her unique combination of gutsy innovation and expert trade tricks to take on any home improvement challenge she can find, including renovating a massive duplex that took six months to complete.

This outdoorsy Denver native is fearless in the face of demolition, always ready with the perfect power tool, and willing to go to any lengths to bring out the existing charm in a home.

On DIY Network’s Rescue Renovation, Kayleen saves project-challenged homeowners who are in over their heads with their renovations. She points out exactly what went wrong and formulates a seven-day action plan to turn bad jobs into jaw-dropping rooms.

And beyond her carpentry skills....Did you see her in Runner's World last summer? http://www.runnersworld.com/celebrity-runners/im-a-runner-kayleen-mccabe

MyFixitUpLife's hosts Mark & Theresa are talking 'The HGTV Effect' with HGTV's 'Cousins Undercover' co-host John Colaneri.

How has HGTV changed homeowners' expectations? How has HGTV changing the way contractors do business?

John and his co-host cousin Anthony Carrino were discovered by HGTV in early 2011 and were asked to shoot a television series called 'Kitchen Cousins.' The show launched to great success and The Cousins brand was born. Now on their third series Anthony & John have been the driving creative force behind Kitchen Cousins, Cousins On Call and Cousins Undercover. Their shows can be seen both on HGTV and the DIY Network.

Why are we Building a Healthy Neighborhood in Nashville with Rebuilding Together? We're talking about volunteering and making a difference on today's show. Tune in.

What the health are we waiting for?!

It’s time to build a healthier America and we’re doing it one neighborhood at a time here in Nashville at Rebuilding Together’s annual Building a Healthy Neighborhood event where we helped 15 homeowners fix their homes and build a stronger neighborhood.

Among the hundreds of volunteers are HGTV hosts, and American Idol contestants Casey James and Ayla Brown. Singer-songwriter and all-American Ayla talks to MyFixitUpLife hosts about creating music, helping in neighborhoods, and performing for the troops. And Casey James shares how he's a DIY guy at heart, and puts down his guitar to pick up a hammer to help build back this Nashville neighborhood on the edge.

Helping out from boards to bark mulch, trucks to table saws, and ladders to love, Lowe's is on, in and above the ground making work happen. Quay Chilcott jumps in to talk Carter's Kids and playground power.

And coming in fully stocked with both crate and barrel overflowing with helping hands and giving hearts, Crate and Barrel CEO Sascha Bopp reminds us that part of the bottom line is a better world.

That’s what we call health from the ground up. Accept nothing less than a better world. It’s time to build a healthy neighborhood right now on MyFixitUpLife.
