The 2014 Metropolitan Builders Association (MBA) Building Lifestyles: Home Building and Remodeling Show takes over the Wisconsin Center from Jan. 10 to Jan. 12, 2014. Presented by Nonn’s Design Showplace, this lifestyle show focuses on how people live in their home.
“With the spring building season right around the corner, this show offers the opportunity for consumers to identify the latest land developments in the area, talk directly with homebuilders, remodelers, and interior designers, and do the research for their next home improvement project,” said Kristine Hillmer, MBA executive director.
People who are dreaming of a new home or hoping to improve their existing home, will have the opportunity to interact with area experts in the field. They will also see the latest home products in the new Product Innovation Pavilion, attend home improvement seminars, and get delicious recipes and cooking tips from local chefs at the demonstration stage.
“Visitors can also enjoy food and beverage samples in the Marketplace Pavilions, which offer great ideas for entertaining,” Hillmer said.
The Building Discovery Cooking Stage will feature home improvement expert Lou Manfredini, host of “HouseSmarts TV” and contributor on NBC’s the “TODAY” show. There will also be appearances by area chefs, who will show off new kitchen gear and exciting new recipes.
The Seminar Stage will feature seminars by MBA industry experts that will provide consumers with all the tools to create their ideal home to fit their individual lifestyle. Visitors can get ideas on designing, building, remodeling, decorating, landscaping and entertaining as well as financial advice.
