Kitchen remodeling, man caves and cooking demonstrations were among the big features at the Great Northeast Home Show going on at the Times Union center this weekend.

Man caves are all the rage. Just how much you want to spend is really the question. One from Solid Surface Craftsman out of Schenectady will run you a cool $55,000.

We've done some wall paneling and smaller bar set-ups at people's houses that are five to six thousand dollars with the countertops. It's all over the board. We've done some for $150,000, said Alan Boulant of Solid Surface.

The lavish display was only a fraction of the exhibits at the 33rd Annual Great Northeast Home Show. People packed the Times Union Center to see the latest and greatest in home products.

There's a little bit for everybody to enjoy. We have a bounce bounce for the kids, face painting, Mr. Twisty, says Tammy Mortier of the Times Union Center.

You can be entertained while learning. There were seminars on ways to cut your heating bill. Six local chefs also took to the stage to battle it out for the top spot.

One of the most popular spots in the house is the kitchen. People looking to do some improvements had a lot of ideas to choose from with Earl B. Feiden Appliances out of Colonie. They were showcasing new stainless steel refrigerators and more.

Marcella's Appliances from Schenectady featured stoves that cook with magnets. John Marcella said, Its more efficient than gas and electric. It cooks quicker than gas and its a better form of cooking.

The Home Show will continue through Sunday.
