HOME DESIGN CHAT WITH NANCY
Nancy is taking a podcast break so enjoy a previously recorded podcast recorded in February, 2024.
Summary of what this podcast will cover:
Styles come and go constantly and so to ideas that have been used by builders for new construction. Will those designs resurface? Were they really popular?
When it comes to remodeling your kitchen and bath, there are certain ideas that builders incorporated into their houses that should never be brought back.
- Why did builders think putting a desk in a kitchen was a great idea.
- Those wet bars from years ago were not functional.
- I never saw 2 sinks in the kitchen when I was called in to remodel and update the space.
- Bathrooms designed with tubs in the ground and then later put in a deck made it dangerous and impossible to use.
- Make-up areas in the master bathroom was a total waste of space
What’s popular instead of the above ideas?
- Desks in home offices or closets
- Wet bars turned in to Beverage centers
- Multi sinks that are well designed for task areas in the kitchen
- Bathrooms with free-standing tubs
- Mirrors with integral LED lighting over the vanities

Though this was a previously recorded podcast – & I recall listening to it – I enjoyed the playback!
My kitchen had a desk/work station & I liked it BECAUSE when my daughter was in grade school I could keep an eye on her finishing homework, while I prepped dinner. It was SO convenient to answer questions and make certain she was on task!
When she moved out, I had the desk/work station removed and repurposed the space with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry – a better resale feature.
I agree with eliminating a tub — ANY type! A large, over-sized shower is SO much more favorable!
Thanks, Nancy, for the rebroadcast… this is a ‘keeper’!
