# Local Chefs, Experts & More at the Birmingham Home Show

**Our House**

The Birmingham Home Show is back [February 20-22, 2026](https://birminghamchristian.com/event/birmingham-home-show-10/) with the latest in home design, renovation and ideas. Industry experts, local vendors and chefs, and homeowners will come together at the BJCC for three days of inspiration, education and hands-on experiences.

The show’s special guests are custom home designers Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt of HGTV’s *100 Day Dream Home*. The design duo is known both for their witty banter and for designing and building perfect custom homes for their clients in 100 days or less. The Kleinschmidts have streamlined the entire process of homebuilding: from designing the house, to finding the lot, to making the countless little-but-important decisions that come with building a house. The couple will share their best design and build strategies on the Fresh Ideas Stage at 5 p.m. on Friday and 1 p.m. on Saturday.
