Thousands Flock to Great Big Home & Garden Show

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - Spring is in bloom, at least at the Great Big Home and Garden Show. 20,000 people cameto the I-X Center Sunday to take it all in.

For Todd and Kim Ennemoser of Columbia Station, it's the ultimate place to get ideas for the new home they are planning on building this spring. The ideahome that's featuredhas helped give them a boost.

"The floor plans of the main feature house it's very similar towhat we are looking at building," Todd said.

And there's so many more things the Ennemosers are here to check out.

"Ideas for cabinetry, maybe some patio features. A bunch of different stuff," Todd said.

Investing money on your outdoor living space is really big because we spend so much time in Northeast Ohio inside. When it gets nice, people want to be outside. What's big this year? Stone countertops with your grill, of course, but also a smoker, and evena refrigerator.

Laura and Jeff Albaugh of Bedford are working on creating their own backyard oasis.

"More of a fire pit. We are looking at the gas fire pits," said the Albaughs. "A hot tub would be nice." Wendy Gilchrist did that last year with the tips she got here. Now she plans on remodeling her kitchen. She loved what she saw in the kitchen in theideahome. Some of the countertopsand the cabinets, the way that things are structured," Gilchrist said.

Little changes that don't cost a lot of money can be found here too. "We have a little room that has nothing in it right now. We already saw something that would look perfect in there!" Laura Albaugh said

The Great Big Home and Garden Show runs until next Sunday.
