Coming up Saturday on Around the House Show!

Get ready to dive deep into the world of tile and organization on this week’s episode of the Around the House Show! We kick things off with tile prep tips from the ever-knowledgeable William White of Ardex. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a wall of tile options and thinking, ‘What in the world do I do with all this?’ – fear not! We’re breaking down the essentials, from the importance of a perfectly flat substrate (because who wants their tiles looking like a rollercoaster?) to the unique challenges that come with large format tiles. Patrick Warren from Dal Tile joins us later to chat about the latest trends in tile design and how many of their products are proudly made in the USA. It’s like a tile fashion show, but with less strutting and more practical advice! We’ll tackle the common confusion homeowners face when selecting the right tiles and how to navigate the dizzying array of choices without losing your mind. And let's face it, we all know how expensive it can be to get it wrong. The first hour is packed with insights that will have you feeling like a tile pro in no time! Then, hold onto your organizing hats because we’re bringing in Shelby from The Neat Freak to help us tackle the chaos in our lives. It’s been ages since we’ve had an organizer on the show, and let me tell you, this segment is like a breath of fresh air for our cluttered minds! Shelby brings her expertise to the table, discussing how organization doesn’t mean you have to change who you are, especially if you’re like me and have a little ADHD magic going on. We’ll explore personalized organizing strategies that make sense for your brain, rather than forcing you into a cookie-cutter system that just doesn’t work. From drop baskets to bins that make your space feel like a zen garden, we’ll have tips and tricks that can help you reign in the chaos. So whether you’re a hot mess like me or just looking to tidy up a bit, Shelby’s got your back! All in all, this episode is your one-stop-shop for home improvement wisdom, sprinkled with a bit of humor and a lot of heart. We wrap up the show with some classic Around the House banter, thanking our amazing listeners for keeping us afloat while we navigate the wild world of home maintenance. So, grab your favorite beverage, tune in, and let’s make your home a better place together!
