NAHB-Produced Programs on DIY, Fine Living and HGTV

The NAHB Production Group produces weekly television shows on DIY, Fine Living and HGTV for consumers. The following is the latest lineup:

"Rock Solid" on DIY

Episode: "Recycled Paper Countertops"

• March 24, 9:30 p.m. EDT
• March 25, 1:30 a.m. EDT
• March 28, 4:30 p.m. EDT

 

A kitchen in Northern Virginia with outdated laminate countertops is in need of some spice. Expert stone masons and hosts Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns are up to the challenge and replace the existing countertops with PaperStone, a new product made from recycled paper that is environmentally friendly and ultra stylish. Once Dean and Derek get into the recycling mode, it's hard to stop them. They add a recycled glass tile backsplash to take this kitchen from bland to bon appétit.

"I Want That" on Fine Living

Episode: "Concrete Tables and Tiny Electronics"

• March 26, 1:30 p.m. ET

 

See fashionable, funky furniture — including colorful concrete tables that aren't as heavy as they look. For gadget fans, a fold-up wireless keyboard makes text messaging easier. The latest in-home networks connect a home owner's cell phone, land line and digital cameras.
