Q&A with Brian + Mika Kleinschmidt of HGTV's 100 Day Dream Home
Having conquered the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge and Rock the Block, custom home designers Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt of HGTV’s 100 Day Dream Home, are now headed to Cleveland! They’ll be taking Expo guests behind the dream on Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 23rd, but before they head to the Main Stage, they are sharing a few home and design tips:
Q: Best home purchase for under $100?
A: A smart thermostat will pay for itself very quickly. Not only is it smart for the environment but it's also smart for your wallet.
Q: What project are you currently working on?
A: We have so many exciting projects coming up for Season 6 but one of our favorites is a shipping container house right on the river that we grew up on.
Q: What is one project you tell people to NOT do as DIY?
A: Anything dealing with electrical, plumbing or HVAC should be done by a licensed professional. Just because you watch a YouTube video doesn't mean you should attempt it.
Q: Tips for big outdoor impact in landscaping or curb appeal?
A: Uplighting landscaping and your house can make a massive impact on your nighttime curb appeal. People mainly think of daytime curb appeal and forget all about when the sun goes down. When it's dark it’s time for your house to shine!
Q: What is an outdated home trend you hope doesn't come back?
A: While it's fun to look back and REFLECT on past design trends I hope we never see mirrored walls make a comeback.
Q: When you design a room what is the most important interior design advice you give?
A: Short and simple...do whatever makes YOU happy. Not what is trending or popular.
