Chris Doehrmann Architect talking to clients at the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show

For the last twenty years, I’ve spent several weekends in the winter and spring talking with people at home and garden shows. If you are planning a project or are looking for ideas, a home show is the perfect place to stop in and talk to Chris in person about your new home, addition or remodeling project. The Minneapolis Home & Remodeling Show, which is at the US Bank Stadium, is the first major show of the year and your first opportunity to start planning your projects for the new year. Get inspired and get started with tons of inspiration and helpful tips to take your home from what you thought was good enough to fantastic.

The Minneapolis Home & Remodeling Show, which is at the US Bank Stadium, is the first major show of the year and your first opportunity to start planning your project for 2023. Get inspired and get started with tons of inspiration and helpful tips to take your home from what you thought was good enough to fantastic.

Designer and host, Tamara Day, is coming to the Minneapolis Home and Remodeling show. She seeks to make the aspirational attainable for her clients and fans of her renovation projects. Tamara restores neglected Kansas City homes on Bargain Mansions. Bargain Mansions, which originated on DIY spent two seasons on HGTV and now has found its home at Magnolia Network, is going into its fourth season. When Tamara is not in front of the camera, she is committed to her family, design business, and retail store, Growing Days, located in Kansas City. Her style, coined “Laid Back Luxe,” is synonymous with blending glamour, comfort, and family into the spaces she designs – something she personally prioritizes. As a busy mother of four, Tamara believes homes should be both beautiful and low maintenance because life is stressful enough.

Minneapolis Home and Garden Show

Home & Garden Show: Booth #1507, February 21-25, 2024

The Minneapolis Home & Garden Show held in the Minneapolis Convention Center provides hundreds of home improvement experts and over 10,000 square feet of gorgeously landscaped space. You’re sure to leave with tons of ideas for your space. After experimenting several years with a two weekend format this year’s show goes back to the Wednesday through Sunday schedule that was has been the standard for the history of the show.

Dave and Jenny Marrs are a husband-and-wife duo who turn fixer uppers to fabulous homes. They even have their own show called “Fixer to Fabulous” on HGTV. They focus on restoring historic homes in their neighborhood of Bentonville, Arkansas. Together, they have completed around 300 custom new homes and run Marrs Developing, a company that specializes in the renovation and restoration of historic homes in the Northwest Arkansas area. Dave does all the heavy lifting and Jenn does the design. They face many challenges, but there is nothing this duo can’t handle. This year they will be attending the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show so make sure you stop by to see them!

Building the Booth

A lot of work went into the design of Chris’s Home Show Booth. The booth has been specifically engineered to store compactly and setup quickly and effectively with two people. For many years the night before the home show, Chris and his wife Julie would drive down the home show and together assemble the booth together. It was also designed to be spotted easily at the show. It’s tresses extend up above other booths, allowing it to be seen by attendees from rows away.

Interview

Watch Jonathon Weiss, of Interiors International, interview Chris Doehrmann, AIA, at the Home & Garden Show about Why do I need an architect?

“People always ask me, ‘why do I need an architect?’ The answer is simple, being able to live the way you want in your home. You will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars – why would you want to wake up in your home every day with a list of things you wish you had done differently?” -Chris Doehrmann, AIA
