MyDesert reports from Palm Springs, Calif. the Desert Living Home Show is anticipating record crowds as the economy improves and home values rise, which will hopefully have homeowners thinking about home improvement. The event is expected to attract 5,000 attendees who will be eyeing barbecue islands, kitchen appliances, and cabinetry, and will feature a small modular home near the entrance, allegedly an eco-friendly dwelling. As MHProNews has been informed, some 130 vendors will be displaying their wares.
