New Year's Resolutions and Home Expos

Now that the holidays have passed and the New Year is upon us, it is time to think of those New Year's resolutions - not the ones to lose weight or to read more or to spend more time with family. We're talking about the ones to improve the home. Melinda Fulmer at hgtv.com offers their five top picks: streamline stuff, make your home safe, cut energy consumption, keep it clean, and get ready for guests. Read the article here to get inspired: www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/clean-and-organize/5-new-years-resolutio…. Once you're done reading, think about what YOU want to do to improve your home in 2017. Then, get out your calendar and check the expos coming to Minneapolis to help you accomplish your goals.

The US Bank Stadium will host the Minneapolis Home and Remodeling Show January 27-29. See Vern Yip and Kayleen McCabe on the Main Stage or check out the long Exhibitor List online before you go. Can't work that weekend into your schedule? Then how about the Home and Garden Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center February 24-26 and March 3-5? Their website tells you everything you need to know plus a virtual tour of last year's event. Still too soon to get motivated? Then why not pencil in the Remodeling Expo Trade Show April 7-9 at the Minneapolis Convention Center or any number of local shows at a location near you? Just google home shows and surprise yourself at the help available only a click away.
