Everyone dreams about their new kitchen, but what does a kitchen designer wish every homeowner knew before they started planning one?In this episode of Trade Secrets, we hear from Dawn from Savvy Kitchens, the designer behind both Kate's kitchens and Jennifer's own kitchen renovation. Dawn shares the five biggest lessons she's learned from designing kitchens every day, from planning layouts before your drawings are finalised to avoiding the trap of designing for Instagram instead of real life. What we cover Why your kitchen should be designed before construction drawings are signed off  How kitchen layouts influence glazing, door positions, electrics and plumbing  Where your kitchen budget is best spent, and where you can save  Why expensive features aren't always the best investment  The importance of communicating changes early  Why every kitchen should be designed around your family's daily routine  Common mistakes people make when copying Pinterest and Instagram kitchens  Practical examples from Jennifer and Kate's own kitchen renovations Key takeaways Design your kitchen around how you actually live, not how you wish you lived  Bring your kitchen designer in as early as possible  Invest in the features you'll use every single day  Don't be afraid to challenge assumptions and ask questions  A beautiful kitchen is one that works effortlessly for your lifestyle Whether you're choosing an IKEA kitchen or a fully bespoke design, these are the principles that make every kitchen function better. Follow the podcast on Instagram @ripitup_podcast_official, or follow us - Jenny is @workerscottage and Kate is @victorianrathmines

The Kitchen Renovation Timeline: What to Expect From Start to Finish Thinking about renovating your kitchen… but wondering what you're really in for? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what actually happens during a kitchen renovation — from that very first idea all the way through to the final touches. Because let's be honest… it's not just about picking cabinets and countertops. There are timelines, decisions, delays, and a whole lot happening behind the scenes that most homeowners never see coming. We'll walk you through each stage of the process so you know what to expect, what's normal, and where things can sometimes shift — all so you can go into your renovation feeling prepared instead of overwhelmed. If you've ever worried about how long it will take, what might go wrong, or how to plan your life around it… this episode is for you. Because when you understand the timeline, everything feels a little more manageable… and a lot less stressful.

Every renovation has a plumber, but what does your plumber wish you knew before the walls are closed up?In this episode of Trade Secrets, we hear from an experienced plumber who shares the five biggest lessons every homeowner should know before starting a renovation. From planning bathrooms properly to investing in the plumbing you'll never see, this episode is packed with practical advice that can help you avoid costly mistakes later on.What we cover: Why bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms need to be planned much earlier than most people realise  Why quality pipework matters more than expensive taps  The plumbing components worth investing in from day one  Why every homeowner should attend their plumbing walkthrough  Common bathroom layout mistakes that affect how the space functions  The importance of thinking beyond Pinterest-perfect bathrooms  How good plumbing decisions save money in the long run Key takeaways: Lock in bathroom layouts before first fix begins  Spend money behind the walls, not just on the finishes  Walk every room with your plumber before pipework is installed  Good communication prevents expensive changes  Design bathrooms for everyday life, not just for photos This episode is a reminder that the best plumbing is the plumbing you never have to think about.Follow the podcast on Instagram @ripitup_podcast_official, or follow us - Jenny is @workerscottage and Kate is @victorianrathmines

Send us a textWhat happens when you combine 13 years of corporate experience with the right franchise opportunity? Brian Gross's remarkable story answers this question, revealing how he transformed from a comfortable but unfulfilled financial services professional into the top-performing Art of Drawers franchisee in Tampa, Florida.Brian's journey began where many aspiring entrepreneurs find themselves—scrolling through business listings without direction, feeling like a "professional tire kicker." The turning point came when he worked with a franchise consultant who shifted his focus from simply finding a profitable business to identifying opportunities that aligned with his strengths, goals, and desired lifestyle.This strategic approach led Brian to Art of Drawers, a home services franchise specializing in custom pullout drawers and cabinet refacing. Unlike retail or brick-and-mortar concepts requiring lengthy build-outs, his business generated an astounding $52,000 in its very first month of operation and achieved positive cash flow within months—a testament to both the business model and Brian's execution.Throughout our conversation, Brian shares invaluable insights about franchise selection, highlighting why home services concepts can be ideal for corporate professionals seeking quick revenue generation. He emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with positive, solution-oriented peers within your franchise system while avoiding the "complainers" who drain energy and productivity.Perhaps most compelling is Brian's perspective on finding businesses that remain essential regardless of economic conditions—services people need during both good and bad times. His practical advice about starting with one unit, mastering operations before expansion, and building a strong support team of professionals offers a blueprint for franchise success.Whether you're contemplating leaving corporate America, exploring franchise opportunities, or simply curious about entrepreneurial paths, Brian's experience provides a realistic and inspiring roadmap.

Recently, Matt and his wife, Danielle, embarked on a kitchen renovation journey. Danielle, like many customers, feared being taken advantage of during the process. These concerns may seem illogical to some, but the fear of not getting our money's worth is real and relatable. While listening to Danielle's worries, Matt was reminded of the movie "My Fair Lady." The character is willing to pay a shilling to learn how to speak eloquently. While a shilling may be insignificant to some, it represents a significant portion of the character's financial worth. It's all about understanding what services or products mean to different individuals.This extends to the automotive industry - empathy and understanding toward customers' financial situations is crucial. Clear communication and setting realistic expectations are key. As professionals, let's strive to not just under-promise and over-deliver, but align expectations with the actual outcome.

In her fantastic new book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, Kendra Adachi lays out a system for creating a kitchen that has and does everything you need. The lazy genius kitchen isn't really a book about remodeling. Nor is it explicitly a cookbook or an organizing book or a lifestyle guide. It's some of all of those things. And, perhaps, it's better than any of them could be on their own. Adachi's advice is to think about the way you want to live in your home.  And if you know me at all, you know this is absolutely where I believe every project in architecture should begin. So, let's talk about how you can be a lazy genius about your kitchen update. And create the kitchen that's perfect for YOU. Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at www.midmod-midwest.com/1101And sign up RIGHT NOW for the Mid-Century Kitchen Clinic to get the early bird price on the live, two hour workshop happening January 14th at 2pm central!

The five Mid Mod Kitchen Update Essentials are key to creating a fabulous and functional kitchen regardless of style, but are extra important when updating a mid century kitchen. We love mid century homes for many reasons - they are right sized, they were made with quality materials, they tend to have a simple beauty, and they still function pretty well for modern families.  But often mid century kitchens are missing important design elements necessary for a functional modern kitchen. Understanding and incorporating these elements into your kitchen remodel will transform your space and ensure you end up with a mid mod kitchen you love.

In episode 146 Prep Dish founder, Allison Schaaf, shares details of her recent kitchen remodel including favorite parts, decisions on countertops and lessons learned. Instant Hot Water: You have to be careful to warn people but it is so useful! It's wonderful for tea, hot water with lemon, etc. I also use it a lot when washing stainless steel pots and pans as well as the kids' water bottles to sanitize them. Countertops: We went with quartzite and, so far, are really happy with it. It's more durable in terms of staining but has a beautiful look similar to marble. Built-in Trash & Recycling: Aesthetically, it's nice to have it hidden but it is nice to be able to pull out the trash can during meal prep for efficiency purposes. Second Dishwasher: This hasn't been installed yet but my favorite brand is Miele. I love that they have a cycle for wine glasses! They also have a quick cycle that I love. Lighting: We updated these to be more our preference. New Island: Having more workspace near the refrigerator has been really nice, even though I didn't know I needed it! It feels like a more efficient setup.
