Birmingham Home Show

The Birmingham Home Show is back February 20-22 with the latest in home design, renovation and ideas. Industry experts, local vendors, and homeowners will come together at the BJCC for three days of inspiration, education and hands-on experiences.

The show’s special guests are custom home designers Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt of HGTV’s 100 Day Dream Home. The design duo is known both for their witty banter and for designing and building perfect custom homes for their clients in 100 days or less. Brian started working construction jobs in college and began flipping houses on his own after graduation. After the 2008 housing crash, Brian got back on his feet by opening a chain of fitness clubs before reconnecting with Mika — 10 years after they first met as juniors in high school.

The Kleinschmidts have streamlined the entire process of homebuilding: from designing the house, to finding the lot, to making the countless little-but-important decisions that come with building a house. Mika guides clients through the process and design, while Brian oversees the builds.

Renowned as one of HGTV’s most successful duos, they’ve also conquered the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge and Rock the Block. They will share their best design and build strategies on the Fresh Ideas Stage at 5p.m. on Friday and 1p.m. on Saturday.

Additionally, two of Birmingham’s own will be bringing exciting features to the show.
