Builder Michael Daddio reveals the hidden nuts and bolts of installation. Sabrina Fierman of New York’s Little Elves tells us how to maintain an orderly home post renovation and beyond. And Linda London discusses shaping how a home will function long after the last drop cloth is folded up. Paul Hagen of aspire design and home magazine moderates with signature sass. Join us and see what is really behind your favorite renovations.
