Send us a textWhat does it take to build a 50-year legacy in a competitive industry? Brian Foreman, founder and president of Performance Kitchens and Home, reveals his extraordinary journey from determined young carpenter to established kitchen design visionary in this captivating conversation that bridges craftsmanship with entrepreneurship.When Brian couldn't afford prime real estate for his showroom, he secured an SBA loan to purchase a three-story building for just $40,000—a property now worth exponentially more. His persistence and commitment to excellence allowed him to revolutionize kitchen design presentations in 1980 by building intricate miniature models of every cabinet and appliance when computer design didn't exist. "In every couple, there's one who can visualize and one who cannot," Brian explains, sharing how his innovation reduced presentation times from 12 hours to 45 minutes while dramatically increasing conversions.What truly sets Brian apart is his methodical "Gold Standard" approach to kitchen design, symbolized by a diamond within a circle. The diamond represents four essential elements that must be approached in sequence: architectural design (how the kitchen relates to the home), cabinetry layout, interior design (where most designers mistakenly begin), and lighting design. This system guarantees kitchens that not only look stunning but function perfectly and maximize property values—crucial knowledge for real estate investors seeking maximum returns.Beyond technical expertise, Brian shares remarkable stories of mentorship, including his relationship with legendary furniture designer George Nakashima, for whom he sourced and cut walnut that would later become dining tables worth $30,000-$60,000. His cross-disciplinary learning approach highlights how entrepreneurs in any field can achieve extraordinary results by combining specialized knowledge with artistic sensibility and relentless pursuit of excellence.Ready to transform your kitchen or investment property with design that guarantees maximum value?

Paul McAlary critiques Tim's kitchen design, advising against using 54 inch wall cabinets and suggesting alternatives like 36-inch cabinets with 12-inch or 15-inch upper cabinets and 3-inch molding. He recommends reducing cabinet height to 8.5 feet for standard sizes, which could save significant costs. Paul also suggests repositioning the stove and oven for better layout, using a wider hood than the cooktop, and considering a built-in microwave. He emphasizes the importance of symmetry and proper cabinet configuration. The conversation highlights the potential cost savings and design improvements by opting for standard cabinet sizes and avoiding custom options.

Designing a kitchen is a multifaceted process that can significantly impact your home's functionality and aesthetics. Eric G., a seasoned kitchen designer with 30 years of experience, emphasizes the importance of hiring a qualified designer to navigate this complex task. He shares insights on cabinetry, highlighting the three primary styles prevalent in the U.S.: face frame, frameless, and inset cabinets. Each style offers distinct advantages and disadvantages, particularly regarding storage efficiency and construction quality. Eric argues that frameless cabinets, often seen as more modern, can provide more storage space compared to their face frame counterparts, making them a practical choice for many homeowners. He urges listeners to consider the evolving needs of kitchen storage from past to present, noting that modern kitchens require more sophisticated storage solutions than those of decades past, reflecting changes in our cooking and entertaining habits.The conversation also delves into the significance of quality materials and finishes. Eric advises against cheaper imported cabinetry, which may use subpar materials and hardware, leading to long-term issues. Instead, he recommends investing in cabinetry that features durable finishes like conversion varnish or urethane, which can withstand the rigors of daily use. The podcast further discusses the importance of project management, particularly for DIY enthusiasts. Eric cautions homeowners about the challenges of managing subcontractors and stresses the necessity of having all materials on-site before beginning any demolition work to avoid costly delays. By preparing adequately and understanding the nuances of kitchen design, listeners can ensure their remodeling projects proceed smoothly and meet their needs for years to come.Takeaways: Hiring a good kitchen designer is crucial for a successful kitchen remodeling project. Modern kitchens require efficient storage solutions that adapt to today's cooking tools. Frameless cabinetry offers more storage space compared to traditional face frame cabinets. Understanding the differences in cabinet construction can save time and money during remodeling. Always ensure that all materials are on-site before starting any demolition work. Expect delays during inspections, and plan accordingly to avoid project stalls.

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design with a conversation about integrated and spectacular kitchen design. This conversation was recorded live from the Monogram kitchen inside the Pacific Sales showroom in Torrance, California. An absolutely gorgeous day inside and out. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! - Where service meets excellence On a beautiful Spring day in May, I was in Southern California to meet an extraordinary group of design creatives to talk about the revolutionary changes taking place in American kitchens from coast to coast, but specifically in California, where the dreamers have always come to explore, dream, and try new things. It's really extraordinary to think about the circular creative vision that begins with designers trying new things which in turn motivates manufacturers to innovate and provide those designers with was to push boundaries. We met at the Pacific Sales showroom in Torrance, a beautiful showroom with established vignettes where designers, architects and their clients can put their hands on the latest technology and appliance advancements. Pacific Sales and Monogram are partner sponsors of Convo By Design. I am absolutely thrilled with this partnership and I'll tell you why. I speak with designers and architects from coast to coast and beyond and one of the issues that keeps creatives up at night is finding and maintaining strong relationships with industry partners. And it's getting more challenging to find good partners. Pacific Sales has been supporting the design trade for decades. Their trade partner program is robust with amazing incentives and their staff is non-commissioned. That means you direct the process. Combine that with Monogram, another partner sponsor and you have quite the team. Monogram is built on performance and innovation. Exceptional products allowing designers to create exceptional spaces inside and out. All with the one goal of making your clients happy. Because that is what designers desire. Functional Multi-Kitchen Projects Working Kitchens Kosher Kitchens Outdoor Kitchens Coffee Bars Wine Bars Weed Rooms Medical and Makeup Refrigeration in Baths Warming Drawers - The Unseen Beauty Wet Bars Beverage Centers Outdoor Cooling/ Warming Centers Craft Ice for Any Space So, what are some of the most talented creatives doing with their kitchens?

Paul talks with Cooper who is thinking about acting as his own general contractor on his kitchen renovation. Paul recommends hiring a general contractor and putting in a new longer beam across the load bearing section of his kitchen. He also advises not hiring the cabinet supplier to install the cabinets. The company getting the room ready for cabinets and running the plumbing, electric, and doing other renovations should ideally also be responsible for installing the cabinets. Otherwise “the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing”, and in keeping with that metaphor – a lot of finger pointing may ensue.

From making cabinets in Northern California to helping women across the country build the kitchens of their dreams, Camille Fina knows what it takes to turn a brick-and-mortar shop into a successful online business. Camille is a kitchen designer and cabinet maker with over 35 years of experience. Through her online program Kitchen Remodel Rockstar, she's helped thousands of women learn how to talk to contractors, develop a detailed budget, and create a design plan for their dream kitchen. Camille is also the host of the Kitchen Sink Podcast and the creator of the Carpentry U Scholarship Fund. Every year, she donates $100,000 to women and girls who want to work in the trades. Know Your Customer From day one in her cabinetry business, Camille knew exactly who she wanted to serve. While most cabinet makers work with builders and market to men, Camille decided to target women and sell direct-to-consumer. Specifically, she wanted to work with “regular families” – the ones who couldn't afford to spend $75,000 on kitchen cabinets but still wanted the job done right. Camille zeroed in on $12-20k kitchen remodels, a sweet spot that was faster, easier, and more profitable than the larger projects her competitors took on. She developed a sales strategy that spoke to her target market and the business quickly took off. Transitioning to an Online Business Model As Camille's 50th birthday approached, she felt it was time for a new adventure. She decided to launch a podcast to share what she'd learned from decades in the kitchen industry. The show was a success, and it wasn't long before she had women contacting her from out of state for help with their kitchen remodels. Since she was serving the same target audience, Camille applied the strategies that worked in her cabinetry business to the podcast. She used Facebook ads to drive traffic and started selling virtual kitchen design packages, helping clients plan, measure, and assemble their dream kitchen. And if they need cabinets as well, Camille proudly ships nationwide. Enjoy this episode with entrepreneur Camille Fina… Quotes “Without customers, you don't have a business. It's that simple.” “My marketing brain started thinking, ‘I wonder if I could design a kitchen for someone in Georgia.' Could I apply the things I do in my regular world?” “I wanted a way to be there digitally without being there physically.” “There were a lot of failures in there that didn't work. But enough of it worked to keep me going.” “Everything I've ever done in any business, I'm always trying to make an impact. I'm always trying to change the industry in some way–it's personal to me. The kitchen design industry for me is personal, with women and empowerment and not getting taken advantage of.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit Camille's website: https://kitchenremodelrockstar.com/ Send Camille an email: camille_l@sbcglobal.net

On today's show, we're expanding on last week's theme of incorporating personality into your kitchen as we sit down with expert designer, Carissa Trygstad, about what she's seeing in kitchen trends and the classics, plus the revival of the scullery, and how it differs from a butler's pantry. From cabinets to heated countertops, Carissa covers kitchen work zones, function and organization, floating shelves, appliances, cabinet hardware…everything including the kitchen sink, even a few tips for giving your kitchen a refresh without a remodel. While you listen to this episode, I recommend you visit showplacedesigncenter.com and showplacecabinetry.com for all sorts of ideas for your dream kitchen. Showplace Cabinetry Design Center is where you will find Carissa working with clients, and incorporating brands you love, plus the company's South Dakota-made cabinets. One thing I know for sure, no matter the style or age of our kitchen, the food is just as delicious, and family and friends are what make it the heart of our home.

Paul talks with Vicki about her kitchen design, the designer she is working with, and the Shiloh cabinetry that she is considering. In a nutshell – He thinks all can be improved. Paul also explains and demonstrates the process Main Line Kitchen Design uses to locate what we hope are good cabinet dealerships for homeowners across the United States. Listen to this podcast and learn how to find good showrooms and designers near you.
Paul talks with Charles who has done all kinds of kitchen research. He has many ideas and plans yet hasn't yet gotten any professional kitchen design help.
After examining James's design and discussing kitchen communication Paul recommends finding another kitchen designer to work with. The present design has too many inexperienced mistakes. Paul recommends several design changes and does one rough version of the design himself. James plans on calling back so we will probably get to watch his kitchen as it transforms over the coming months.
Paul talks with Michael who is over budget on the kitchen addition he is working on. Paul talks about different ways to save money on cabinetry. He and Michael discus the design and possible changes. French Doors come up again and why they are often poorly thought out by architects. Grabel, Medallion, Starmark, and Fieldstone cabinetry is discussed.
Paul and Main Line Kitchen Design's Ed Sossich discuss some of the famous customers Ed has worked with. Both Paul and Ed have worked together at several showrooms. Very early in their careers they worked together first at The Home Depot and then at Lowe's. Among the celebrities Ed has worked with are Brooke Shields, David Morse, Charles Barkley, and others.
Paul goes over Emily's kitchen plans in great detail. He notices all the unusual custom cabinet sizes but thinks that these unusual sizes and dimensions are unattractive and impractical. Paul finds many dimensions that don't work for Emily's design. For example the microwave will not fit in the appliance garage, and the oven is so high off the floor that shorter people will burn their arms reaching inside. If you are working with a designer that doesn't use kitchen design software this is a warning sign that your designer is too old or inexperienced, and doesn't know the cabinet market. This can cost a customer a fortune and yet give them a poor design.

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design. Following is another installment of the Wellness & Design Thought Leadership Series presented by ThermaSol. In May, 2023, a special gathering took place at the Friedman's Home Experience showroom in Long Beach, California. This gathering presented an opportunity to get some of Southern California's most dynamic and creative designers together for a conversation about kitchen design. Our group engages in an open forum about how the kitchen has changed in form and function since the pandemic began in 2020. This idea started as an exploratory look at what has changed, but developed into an overarching dialogue about what it means to be a designer today. Further, how the design community has learned to lean in on each other for support, direction, inspiration and in the case of showrooms like Friedman's Home Experience, how to provide designers and architects with opportunities to discover new product and specify with confidence to best serve the client.

The kitchen is the heart of the American home—and the hardest working room in the house. But it is also an ever more important canvas for creativity and style. Three kitchen-design experts—Barbara Sallick, Matthew Quinn, and Sophie Donelson—weigh in on why kitchens are more crucial than ever, evaluate all the latest trends, and reveal why efficiency is over-rated and why an old-fashioned table lamp may be the most innovative kitchen appliance of all.
