On this episode on MyFixitUpLife, we’re talking bathrooms with DIY Network’s ‘I Hate My Bath’ host Jeff Devlin, Master Plumber Ed Del Grande, National Kitchen and Bath Association president John Morgan, interior designer Susan Serra, and Formica’s Todd Vezina. From inner beauty to surface style we’re coming to you from the world of Formica at [...]
Here’s one of the awesome things about design: it reinvents things. It takes the common and makes it uncommon. I’ve seen a lot of this from Theresa who has done incredible things on both a large and small scale. I’ve also seen it on the 5 Extreme Makeover: Home Edition builds I’ve been on where [...]
Every now and again (or more often than that depending on the kinds of day you’re having) a mistake gets made. You put the X on the wrong side of the line, read a 6 as a 9 and put a mark that doesn’t signify anything, or your stud finder is — as most are [...]
Question: Here come the holidays and at my house that means lots of overnight family and guests, meals — and lots dishwasher loads and showers. Last year, I tried timing the dishwasher runs when I knew no one was showering or about to shower. But then one day I opened the dishwasher in mid cycle [...]
Here’s an easy way to display holiday cards with supplies you already have out for the holidays.

After a big snowstorm I have to admit, I kind of like to get out there and get after it. There’s more than a little joy in using the snow-thrower and maybe a little primeval need that gets met from digging out. However, there’s only so much throwing and digging I’m interested in doing, so [...]
So what do you get when you combine fine art, family photos and a high-tech space heater? Prestyl USA’s state of the art wall heaters. They look cool but they are far from it. The Prestyl panels use a highly efficient and maintenance-free “thin-film” infrared technology that does not heat the air; instead energy is reflected [...]
I like winter. I like snow. I like the opportunity to use my snow thrower. However, I could live without some of the damage winter weather can cause, notably to my vehicle. I drive a 4-wheel drive and my wife drives an all-wheel drive, so when it snows, we can leave the house. But, so [...]
