Building a Smarter Home

In the not-so-distant past, appliances were simple, and we wouldn’t necessarily call them “smart”: dishwashers washed dishes, dryers dried clothes, and refrigerators kept food cold. Today’s smart refrigerators, on the other hand, suggest recipes based on what’s on your shelf or in season in your region, while AI-equipped washer-dryers offers up recommendations on how to launder based on fabric type and soil level. That level of intelligent technology is revolutionizing not just design, but, maybe even more importantly, daily life. Join today’s episode to hear from Claudia Santos, Director of Product Marketing at Samsung Electronics America, about the ins and outs of smart-home technology and the rapid way it's benefiting today’s appliance consumers.  This episode of Ask the Appliance Experts is supported by Samsung.

Reimagining the Outdoor Kitchen with designer Vanessa DeLeon

Forget the portable stainless steel BBQ and weather-worn furniture of backyard get-togethers long past. COVID forever disrupted the game, transforming entertaining at home into a bona fide art form, with outdoor kitchens leading the pack as a top-requested feature among homebuyers and renovators alike. Who better to discuss the evolution of the outdoor kitchen than interior designer and HGTV luminary Vanessa DeLeon, who recently cast a discriminating design eye on her own New Jersey beach house, turning it into a veritable indoor-outdoor haven? She joins the show today to discuss mindful material and finishing choice, the luxury of sourcing the right appliances, and her own backyard’s super-swanky “art piece” hammock.
