It's January and that means it's time for the annual Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show, running from Jan. 9 to 11 at the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg. This show has always kicked off the new year in style for home renovations and Manitobans love to take full advantage of this pastime. In that Winnipeg has the third-oldest housing stock in Canadian cities, home renovations are a big part of our lifestyle. Nowhere else can you find this much product and expertise under one roof.
The Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show is unique in that it provides a free avenue for consumers to test the renovation market. The Ask A Renovator booth is staffed with professional Manitoba Home Builders' Association RenoMark renovators who are available to answer your questions about a job you may be planning or dreaming about. They are there to provide free 20-minute consultations to help steer you in the right direction toward an enjoyable and exciting upgrade to your home. All you have to do to book an appointment is to go online at www.kitchenandbathshow.com and submit your name and preferred time slot. Or, you can just attend the show with your ideas and you will be able to pick the brains of one of Manitoba's finest renovators. Whether the job is big or small; whether it's something you're committed to or just thinking about; whether you are a do it yourselfer or looking for a professional to help, this is the perfect place. Start your renovation off on the right foot with professional advice.
The Kitchen and Bath Renovation Show opens on Friday at noon and continues until 5 p.m. on Sunday. On our Lifestyles stage, we are proud to feature Ramsin Khachi, design expert frequently appearing on the Marilyn Denis Show, and celebrity chef Rob Thomas, who will share his culinary expertise with attendees. The Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show is once again presented by All Canadian Renovations and Penta Spray Foam Systems.
In addition to the hundreds of booths filled with the latest and greatest in items for your home, there is also a fabulous $10,000 kitchen cabinetry grand-prize raffle courtesy of Springfield Woodworking with all proceeds going to Variety -- the Children's Charity.
