TV Host and Home Expert Carter Oosterhouse Shares Practical Ways to Refresh Kitchens & Baths Before the Holidays

October is National Kitchen & Bath Month! It is meant to spotlight two of the most-used spaces in the home at a time when many homeowners are preparing for holiday entertaining. This fall, updates are moving beyond major renovation, with homeowners embracing warmer finishes, functional upgrades, smart features, and smaller DIY projects that can make a noticeable difference. TV host and home expert Carter Oosterhouse shares practical, budget-friendly ideas for refreshing the kitchen and bath this fall. From simple DIY projects and functional upgrades to environmentally conscious solutions, Carter shows how small changes can make a big impact—without taking on a full-scale renovation.

AN EASY WAY TO REFRESH THE KITCHEN

A better kitchen starts with better water. Fall is the perfect time to refresh the kitchen before holiday cooking and gatherings. Check out the Waterdrop X16. It is a high-capacity under-sink reverse osmosis system, designed for busy kitchens, helping families upgrade the water they use for drinking, cooking, coffee, and entertaining. Waterdrop’s X16 tankless under-sink design keeps the countertop clear while giving a more integrated water solution for everyday kitchen routines. This is one of the simplest ways to improve the kitchen and health. For more information, visit www.waterdropfilter.com

SEALING KITCHEN AND BATH PROJECTS

For kitchen and bath projects, turn to DAP, the leader in sealing since 1865. The key is choosing the right sealant for the job. KWIK SEAL ULTRA cleans up easily with water and leaves a water-repellent finish that helps resist dirt and stains. Around kitchen sinks and countertops, SILICONE MAX is a great option, it is 100% silicone and certified for incidental food contact. For repairs on wet or damp surfaces, AMP Kitchen & Bath is the go-to, and it is ready for paint and water in as little as 30 minutes. For more information, visit www.dap.com
