Our booth is now set up at the Brazos County Expo Complex, ready for tomorrow. It’s been a great experience designing and constructing our own booth this year — all of our team worked hard together to make this possible.
We are so excited for the Expo this weekend — see you there!

Thanks to (from left to right) Chuck our Production Manager, Ben, Rod, Eleazar, and Joe (who is not pictured) for their hard work in making our booth design become reality! Excellent job!
The 2012 Home Expo is in two days — Take a look at how the drafting table and booth are coming together! Be sure to stop by this weekend to see them in person and discuss your project with us.

Booth
The painted, lit booth! We just have a few more things to layout, and then it’s ready for transport and final set up at the Brazos County Expo Complex.
Eleazar has hand painted all the lettering on our booth — a very detailed job! He’s been working hard all week, and it shows! Thanks Eleazar!!
Here’s another update with progress photos–
We here at Stearns have decided to design and construct our own booth for this year’s Home Expo. We also wanted to build a drafting table to use when discussing your project ideas. This post shows the process & progress of both of these projects.
We’re nearing the finish line of our preparations, as the Expo is this Saturday and Sunday, February 25 & 26! Be sure to stop by to see our booth in person — we look forward to meeting you!

A close-up of one partition — the care Rod & Joe are putting into the booth’s construction is evident!
Here, the framing is being covered as the booth begins to get “clothed”.
All the trim and paneling for the booth is completed — and it looks great!! Lighting has also been installed by Mark from Prestige Electric.
Here is the trim detail on one corner. Joe worked hard over the weekend for this to be completed — thank you Joe!
Eleazar has primed the booth and begun to add the accent colors. Our booth is really coming to life and looking fabulous!
We’ve really been focusing on this question while designing our booth for the 2012 Home Expo–
Having a double booth this year allows us to create both a Design area and a Building Science area. We hope the unique elements in these areas will inspire you and enlighten you, helping you to more clearly understand your current and/or future projects:

They say a picture is worth a thousand words — so here are some pictures of our progress so far!
Brochure Caddies
Linda Stearns, crafted these clay holders for our brochures. We love the colors she chose, and how she incorporated our leaf logo. Thank you Linda!!
Here’s another view of the clay caddies, with their brochures.
Sideboard Table
We’re building a sideboard table out of red oak to use at the Expo – Here are some of its pieces, waiting to be assembled.
Joe, one of our project managers, sands a side of the table.
Here you can start to see what the table’s going to look like. Joe has done a great job putting it together! There are a few more things to add, and then it will be ready for some stain.
The 2012 Bryan College Station Home Expo is right around the corner! – It’s Saturday February 25 from 10AM to 5PM and Sunday February 26 from 1PM to 5PM.
We hope you’re getting excited about the Expo, because we are! To whet your appetite a bit, here’s an overview of what we’re planning:
Designing & Building
- We’ll be designing and building our own booth! This year, we’ll have a double booth in the Brazos Expo Center, numbers 39 & 48.
- We’re also building a drafting table and a sideboard display table to use at the Expo. All of these elements will create a great environment for you to learn about our company, ask questions, and discuss your project with us.
Knowledge Sharing
- We’ll be conducting mini-seminars about green building, remodeling, building science, and other home design related topics in our booth during the Expo. These seminars will consist of a brief presentation and Q&A session. Throughout this next month we’ll be selecting more specific seminar topics, and really want your input!!
- Our president and owner Hugh Stearns will also be presenting in the Expo’s scheduled seminars. We’ll let you know what topics he’ll be discussing once the official schedule is announced.
Updates and more detailed information about our plans for the Expo will be coming soon! Be sure to also follow us on twitter and facebook as we share our progress and count down to the Expo.
