Spring Atlanta Home Show

Saturday, March 23, 2013

The rain didn’t keep thousands of people from attending the 35th annual Spring Atlanta Home Show at the Cobb Galleria Center in Atlanta.  The event brought together over 350 experts in the home remodeling and landscaping industries to showcase the latest products and services for homes of all sizes and styles. The show included such vendors as Mattress Firm, Ikea, Martin Windows and Doors, Creative Outdoor Design & Lawn Maintenance, Frugal Kitchens and Cabinets and Living Water Landscapes. The two biggest draws for the show however seemed to be the outdoor beer garden display which included all sorts of outdoor fireplaces, seating options, and landscaping as well as the SeeThru House. The house was a collaboration of numerous companies that stripped a two story house to its studs and showed the interior workings of the importance of insulation, wiring, windows, doors and many other features that home owners may take for granted. The show also featured numerous guest speakers, contests, demonstrations and giveaways.
