Here are five things to know about the show:
How the show started
The home and outdoor living show takes place in the spring and the fall in Montgomery County and is hosted by Texwood Shows, launched by Tony Woods 15 years ago to have one-stop-shopping for homeowners looking to connect with builders.
Shows take place across the Houston region. Other than the fall show, the next show will take place in the Cy-Fair area in the spring.
On the Texwood website, there is also a “Find an Expert” tab where homeowners can review professionals from a variety of home services in one spot.
Show exhibitors
There are typically 200-plus exhibitors at the home and outdoor living show.
This year there are new exhibitors focused on home interiors. Reece Bath + Kitchen Designs brings the newest products to update your kitchen and bathroom including sinks, fixtures, tubs, countertops, ranges, refrigerators, freezers, warming drawers, and even wine refrigerators.
Color Interiors, family operated in Conroe and operated since 1972, can help with flooring, lighting, tile and outdoor living pool tiles. Expressive Tile and Stone has a selection of unique backsplashes for any interior room to add a pop of color and dimension.
Other vendor highlights include outdoor living exhibitors and paint experts.
