Coming up Saturday on Around the House Show!

Outdoor living is all the rage, and we’re diving into it headfirst this Saturday with none other than design wizard Wendy Glaister from Wendy Glaister Interiors. Picture this: your backyard transformed into a dreamy oasis where the only thing sizzling is the grill and maybe some burgers. Wendy shares her insights on creating the ideal outdoor living space that’s both functional and fabulous. We’ll chat about everything from cozy fire pits that scream ‘let’s roast marshmallows’ to outdoor kitchens that make cooking feel like a party rather than a chore (because who wants to slave over a hot stove when you could be sipping a cold drink?). Expect tips on choosing the right materials that can withstand a bit of weather drama and enhance the overall vibe of your outdoor hangout. And let’s be real, who doesn’t want a space where they can kick back and bask in the sun while pretending to be a gourmet chef? But wait, there’s more! After we soak up all the outdoor inspiration, we’ll rewind to an enlightening chat with Caroline Blazovsky, America’s Healthy Home Expert, who’s got a knack for making our homes not just pretty, but healthy too. She dives deep into the nitty-gritty of home improvement and how our living spaces can affect our health. You think the only thing lurking in your corners is dust? Nope! It’s a world of unseen pollutants and hidden health hazards. Caroline breaks down how tightening up your building envelope can lead to better air quality, and why that’s crucial in today’s homes. But here’s the kicker – who can afford all the fancy upgrades to make their homes healthy? She raises some serious points about the disconnect between home improvement costs and healthcare, suggesting that maybe if we invest in our homes, we should get a health insurance break. It’s a wild ride of ideas that’ll leave you thinking about how intertwined our living spaces and health really are. So, grab your headphones and join us for a jam-packed show filled with outdoor design tips and health insights that’ll make you rethink your abode. Whether you’re a DIY guru or just someone who wants to kick back and enjoy a stylish patio, we’ve got you covered. And trust me, this is one episode you won’t want to miss – we’re talking about crafting a home that looks good *and* feels good. Set your reminders because this Saturday is going to be a blast!
