House & Garden

New York City is known for its diversity, but that quality isn't always reflected in its public housing developments, which often ignore the social and cultural characteristics of the communities who live in them. This episode follows third generation-developer Jonathan Rose through Irvington, Harlem and the Bronx - communities where Rose is putting sustainability within reach of public housing residents.

Lin Weaver hosts Christina Reyes, Landscape Architect, and Pat Stoffel, Garden Specialist, of the UC Davis Good Life Garden, an edible garden.

Basics of Beekeeping

Steve Butler is an artist and furniture maker with more than 20 years experience in the field. In his garage workshop, he'll share with you the way to make fun, funky projects without having all the fancy expensive shop tools of the other shows. Anything from fine furniture to cool, artsy objects are what he's making. The Garage is a how-to show unlike any other.

Like a good glass of wine? So does Steve (but not while he's working!) So why not have one and check out the newest episode, where he turns an old wine box into a table just made for an intimate rendezvous.

Got kids? That probably means you don't have much money. This time around, Steve shows you how to make a child's bed that will last a lifetime out of fifty bucks' worth of off-the-shelf lumber. It's easy to do, and won't break the bank. That's not something that can often be said when raising kids!

Steve loves garage sales. And he just can't resist Danish modern furniture. So what does he do when he finds a cool piece at the Salvation Army store? He buys it, brings it home, and gives it a facelift! He'll show you how to tighten up those loose legs and an easy refinish technique that will have that old dining room set looking good again.
