Inspiration Showcase

The definition of INSPIRATION is the feeling of enthusiasm you get from someone or something that gives you new and creative ideas.

That is the essence of what our INSPIRATION SHOWCASE is based on. This new feature will provide visitors access to experts who will answer design questions as well as provide visually dramatic vignettes and educational support. DIY enthusiasts will leave with a renewed sense of excitement!
