Feathering your nest takes on new meaning at this year's DV (Design Vancouver) Interior Design & Urban Living Expo, taking place at the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre, where highlights include a giant bird's nest being built from Stanley Park debris by local designer Brent Comber. Take a look, too, at Smallworks' small-footprint "laneway house", and new uses for all that wood ravaged by mountain pine beetles. This is the place to hook up with innovative design and designers. Show hours are next weekend: May 4 from noon to 9 p.m., May 5 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and May 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Adults, $12; seniors and under-17s, $10; kids under 12, free. Tickets (cash only) are at the door.
