Connecting the indoors and outdoors takes on a whole new meaning with Nana Walls, accordion pleated walls of glass. Consider outfitting your home with a chimney pot. The unique clay sculptures sit atop chimneys, improving draft and design. They come in all shapes and sizes, including dragons and columns. Ever heard of a blender that cooks? Check out a new blender with a blade that rotates at 240 miles per hour, creating enough heat to turn raw ingredients into cooked soup. Make beautiful music with furniture that doubles as xylophones. You can literally plunk out a tune on a porch swing.

Dean and Derek, along with experts Jason Thoelke and Brandon Hobbes of Creative Concrete Solutions, install an acid-etched concrete floor in a kitchen. In the process, they learn that the road to concrete can be messy and multi-layered, especially if the demolition of the existing floor is difficult. Through the process, they demonstrate how to properly prepare a sub floor for a concrete overlay, how to mix the ingredients for each level of finish, how to find the right tools to achieve the desired texture and how to stain the floor safely and with even color.
