The 2010 Buffalo Home & Garden Show is a showcase of the latest remodeling, landscaping and decorating products and this year, it is two weekends only!  This year’s feature attraction is “Villa in Tuscany,” a home inspired by Italian architecture and design created by a team of designers with the Interior Design Association of Western New York.  Get inspired!

Other Show highlights include:

- Villa In Tuscany - A team of eight local designers, members of the Interior Design Association of Western New York (IDA), had Tuscany in mind when they found inspiration for the 2010 Buffalo Home & Garden Show feature, a “Villa in Tuscany.”  Eight rooms full of ideas that can be incorporated into any Western New York home.  Designers include: Jennifer Fedeson, F&S Design Studio; Karen Bialkowski, Kittinger Gallery and Design Studio; Julie Cutolo, Cutolo Interiors; Jennifer Rase, Defined Aesthetics; Barbara Reformat, Ann Medinac Interiors; Brooke Pelc, Nest Interiors; Mary Terese Nasca, MTN Designs; and Diana Augspurger, Creative Storage.
