HGTV’s Vern Yip will highlight the 2009 Fall Home and Decor Show.

The show will be Oct. 2-4 at the Chattanooga Convention Center. Mr. Yip hosts “Deserving Design” and has been a judge on “Design Star.”

The show is the first fall show by the Home Builders Association of Southern Tennessee. The organization has held a spring show for 43 years. That show will continue.

This year’s fall show will focus on home decor and green living. The show will highlight paintings, flower arrangements, furniture and home accessories.

Green products include flooring (bamboo and cork), recycled carpet, cabinets and solar panels.

Both new and existing homes will be featured by builders and homeowners who use a real estate agent.
