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

On this episode of MyFixitUpLife we're talking design and decorating small spaces for your favorite little faces. It's all about making space cool and comfortable for kids from toddler to college-bound.

Small spaces that are destined to change are challenging, whether it’s an apartment, dorm room, or other temporary space, making it feel like “home” can cause major stress.

We’re talking with two of our favorite design experts about their favorite tips, tricks and trends to get you ready for back to school time. We uncover some great cleaning tips, and hit on top trends for making move-in a homecoming.

Jillian Harris from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and HGTV’s Love it or List it Vancouver shares simple tips that can brighten a room, and your day. And she's sharing stories from her college move-in days, as well.

Kelly Edwards shares her design recipes for small space success and her 5-minute makeovers that will get your home ready for anything. Kelly is the author of the best-selling Design Cookbook and was a host of HGTV's 'Design on a Dime' as well as STYLE Network's 'Tacky House.'

This episode of MyFixitUpLife is broadcast from the shore in Brooklyn where a community was under 12 feet of water during Sandy.

During this show, now six months later, Rebuilding Together and Meredith magazine editors, along with corporate sponsors and 500 volunteers worked to help 10 homeowners, the volunteer fire station, Kiddie Beach, and other sites in Gerritsen Beach rebuild.

Sandy. Katrina. Joplin. Moore.

Natural disasters are devastating for those on the frontline, and too common on the news that they can be difficult for children to understand. We talk with editors from Parents magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, Family Circle, and Everyday with Rachael Ray about rebuilding, how our everyday habits may be changing, and how to talk with kids about tragedy.

We also talk about community service and what CBRE, Lowe's and Philips Lighting is doing to make a difference in the communities they serve.

Plus we don't pass up the opportunity to talk with the experts about the best dimming and efficient light bulb, our favorite new cooking prep tip, and how paint color can change everything in a room.

We're lacing 'em up for the love of the game with Rebuilding Together inside Handy Magazine's tricked-out Tool Test Zone at The National Hardware Show in Las Vegas.

To help us fix householder problems we'd love to solve, Ask This Old House producer Chris Wolfe takes us behind the scenes--and behind the walls.

And Sleep Innovations stops by to let us test out their new Stanley-branded utility mat that is supposed to keep us working on our DIY list longer and happier.

Make-it-right-Mike Mike Holmes rips it down, builds it back and frames up his passion for the game of getting' it done. And takes a break from his standard seriousness to tease Mark about his watch and his passion for moving fast.

Football all-pro-all-hustle Pro-Bowl player Jack Youngblood kicks the mud out of his cleats and huddles up to talk leadership, endurance, and the game of life. He also shares insights into kids and football.

We're taking time to start talking about our favorite annual contest, the Tradesperson of the Year from Rebuilding Together, which honors a professional who gives back with tools, cash and two tickets to the Super Bowl.
