Everything about the greatness of America depends on elections, but most people don't connect the dots as to why it's hard to live the American dream now.

One upgrade can completely change the way your home looks and feels (and it might be simpler than you think). On this week's episode of I AM HOME, the team takes a look at how replacing outdated countertops can transform your kitchen or bathroom, turning a dark and dated space into a bright, inviting room you love spending time in. Along the way, the team talks through choosing materials with confidence, avoiding decision overload and why countertops can have a bigger impact than you might expect.

When you need an extra bedroom and a bathroom remodel, it is incredibly easy to turn a lifestyle dilemma into a stressful math equation. Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones look at a question from a double-doctor family in Virginia who have been in their home for three years and absolutely detest the idea of packed boxes and changing neighborhoods, but feel guilty about the massive price tag of remodeling. We break down why this might not be a a financial question at all and how he real choice comes down to which type of chaos you prefer: the brutal inertia of moving your kids to a new school district, or living in a dusty construction zone for a summer. We also answer your colleagues' questions. An oncologist in Washington says, “Everybody online is saying I should pay my student loans off as fast as possible, then start investing. I am not overly concerned about my loans, but I don't want to do the “wrong” thing. Should I invest or pay down my student loans aggressively?” A Double Doc family in West Virginia asks, “We are receiving a surprise increase in income this summer (additional $75k per year between the two of us). What should we do with the extra cash?” A Double Doc family in Florida wonders, “I actually like being “ignorant” about spending money at the grocery store… but I sometimes feel guilty about it. Should I be more budget-conscious?” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into a plan for college and retirement?

Discover why standard clinical checks might miss critical heart risks, and the vital role of fat loss over weight loss. Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. For millions of people worldwide living with hypertension, keeping blood pressure numbers in the normal zone is the ultimate goal. But what if that peace of mind is an illusion? Recent findings from the REMODEL study at the National Heart Centre Singapore suggests that the true danger to your heart might be completely invisible to standard clinical checks. The study, published as a letter in the journal MedCom in February 2026, found that nearly 30 per cent of health complications related to high blood pressure occur in patients whose blood pressure appears perfectly normal on paper. In this episode, Joyce Teo speaks to the study’s senior author, Associate Professor Calvin Chin, to find out about the importance of fat loss over mere weight loss and why a normal blood pressure reading may not always tell you the full story. He is a senior consultant in cardiology from the National Heart Centre Singapore and the deputy director of the National Heart Research Institute Singapore.

Hi everyone, and welcome to Home Design Chat with Nancy. Before I start, I would like you to please subscribe on the platform you use to listen to my podcasts.My subject today is one of the most exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—projects: a kitchen renovation.Most homeowners who have ideas and plans to remodel their home don't start the project in the middle of the summer when their kiddos are on summer break or when the family goes on vacation. Instead, the remodel project starts in September right after summer vacation is over. If you want your project to be completed for your Thanksgiving dinner or for the Christmas holidays, now is the time to start doing research. The reality is that successful kitchen renovations begin long before demolition day, and definitely before you contract with a kitchen designer and a general contractor.Today I'm going to walk you through the most important things to consider before you start your kitchen renovation so you can avoid costly mistakes, stay on budget, and end up with a kitchen you'll love for years to come.These are questions you should ask yourself before you start your research:Why do you want to remodelWhat are your wants and needsWhat is your realistic budgetDoes your existing layout work for youDo you have enough storageIs your lighting adequateDoes your ventilation workWhat appliances are on your wish listCan you cope with disruptionKnow what to look for in hiring professionalsBefore you start your kitchen renovation, remember this: the best kitchens aren't necessarily the most expensive kitchens. They're the kitchens that work beautifully for the people who use them.A successful kitchen renovation should improve your daily life every single day. That's what great design is all about.Thank you for joining me today on Home Design Chat with Nancy.If you enjoyed today's episode, be sure to subscribe, share the show with friends and family, and join us next time as we continue exploring ideas, trends, and practical advice for creating homes that are beautiful, functional, and designed for the way we live.You can email me at Nancy@nancyhugo.com with questions.  Check out my website:  https://nancyhugo.com/  For great design ideas and trends go to https://designerscirclehq.com/

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with three team members from Edmund Allen Lumber out of Illinois: Nick Morrison, Sales Manager; Brian Studebaker, Millwork Manager; and Brandon Romine, Marketing Director. Together they reveal how a 129-year-old cedar and Douglas fir wholesaler has evolved into a full-service custom millwork operation that regularly takes on projects nobody else will touch. The company serves a dealer network of roughly 450 customers across Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana, sourcing the bulk of its Western Red Cedar from Canadian mills and manufacturing everything else in-house. Brian walks through the millwork department's capabilities, from a 54-inch McDonough resaw and six-headed molder to a CNC that lets them replicate any historical molding profile. Brandon explains how he moved from sales into marketing and rebuilt the company's web and Instagram presence to solve a recurring problem: customers kept saying, "I didn't know you did that." The standout story is a clock tower restoration in Madison, Wisconsin. Lightning struck the tower, and the team had to replicate nine or ten unique molding profiles, fabricate stack-laminated corbels, and get everything hoisted by crane a hundred feet in the air while watching pieces swing in the wind. It captures exactly what Edmund Allen Lumber does best: the work nobody else wants to figure out. The conversation also covers the custom design process from architect sketch to final CAD, the economics of quoting without charging design fees, tariffs pushing cedar costs up as much as 45 percent, and the shift from new single-family construction toward remodels and multifamily. The team's message is simple: if you can dream it, they can probably make it.

Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan dedicates the whole show to bathroom remodels -- why they're trending, and how to think one through before spending anything. He covers the tub-or-shower decision, storage planning, lighting that stops working against you, upgrades worth baking in while walls are open, aging-in-place choices, and a full closing section on painting the bathroom right. A practical episode worth saving if a bathroom is anywhere on your horizon.In This Episode[00:00] -- Bathrooms Are Trending[02:15] -- Start With What Bugs You[05:04] -- Tubs or Showers First[07:45] -- Freestanding Tub Reality Check[10:43] -- Tub to Shower Conversion[13:41] -- Storage That Fits Life[16:15] -- Smart Storage Ideas[18:31] -- Bathroom Lighting Problems[19:25] -- Why Mirrors Make You Cringe[20:22] -- Fixing Harsh Shadows[21:43] -- Layered Lighting Basics[22:14] -- Mirror Task Lighting[23:56] -- Sconce Placement Tips[24:54] -- Shower and Night Lighting[26:02] -- Bulb Temperature Consistency[28:00] -- Remodel Upgrades to Add[30:44] -- Aging in Place Choices[33:52] -- Bathroom Paint Essentials[37:02] -- Paint Cure and Humidity[39:10] -- Prep and Tight Spaces[41:19] -- Ceilings and Caulk[43:05] -- Wrap Up and Store DealsBathrooms Are Trending [00:00]Bathroom remodels aren't overtaking kitchens -- kitchens are still the most popular project -- but bathrooms are closing the gap. They're smaller, usually less expensive, and more manageable. And the daily impact is bigger than most people give them credit for. If a kitchen remodel feels out of reach right now, a bathroom is worth serious consideration.Start With What Bugs You [02:15]Before looking at tile or faucets, walk through the bathroom you have and write down everything that bothers you. Not what you'd love to have -- what actually annoys you about the space right now. A lot of renovations look great but feel disappointing because they didn't solve the actual problems. New finishes don't fix a bad morning. Start with what the bathroom needs to fix, then work forward from there.Tubs or Showers First [05:04]The shower or tub is the biggest decision in any bathroom remodel and where serious money gets spent. Dan breaks it into two parts: what fits your life better (some people love a bath; others haven't taken one voluntarily in years), and what fits your existing bathroom layout. Getting swept up in a vision without looking honestly at the space is where projects get expensive.Freestanding Tub Reality Check [07:45]A freestanding soaking tub is a popular idea that can get complicated fast. Most existing bathrooms have an alcove setup -- tub against three walls, drain in place, plumbing at one end. Switching to a freestanding tub means relocating the drain, addressing the floor and walls after the old surround comes out, and making sure there's enough clearance around the tub for it to look intentional.The alternative worth knowing about: deeper alcove tubs, drop-in tubs, or soaking tubs designed to fit a traditional footprint. These can deliver the soaking experience without requiring a full redesign. Even replacing an older alcove tub with a newer one in the same footprint can be a meaningful gain.Tub to Shower Conversion [10:43]If baths aren't your thing, converting a tub surround to a walk-in shower is often a practical fit for what most bathrooms already have. Plumbing can often stay in roughly the same location, the footprint works, and the project tends to line up more naturally with the existing space than a freestanding tub would.One thing to stop and think about first: is this the only tub in the house? Families with young kids need one. Pet owners often do too. Future buyers may care. That doesn't mean you keep it -- just means the decision should be deliberate.Storage That Fits Life [13:41]Storage isn't the exciting part of a remodel, but it may be the biggest factor in whether a renovated bathroom still feels good two weeks after the job is done. Before choosing a vanity, go back to your list of annoyances and ask honestly whether storage is on it -- and whether it should be.The practical question isn't what vanity looks good. It's what the vanity needs to do. Drawers let you see what you have; deep cabinets swallow things. A vanity drawer with a built-in outlet keeps hair tools off the counter. Storage that matches how you actually live beats storage that just looks organized in the showroom.Smart Storage Ideas [16:15]If the footprint isn't changing, there are usually more options than it feels like. Going vertical -- tall cabinets, shelving from counter to ceiling, built-in storage above the toilet -- can add meaningful capacity without touching the floor plan. Recessed medicine cabinets don't have to look like the metal box from 1978; modern versions are framed, mirror-faced, and look like part of the room. And awkward spots -- a dead corner, a gap beside the vanity -- are worth a second look.Better storage organization inside existing space also counts: drawer organizers, pull-outs, a bottom drawer for towels or toilet paper. Build the answer in. Don't assume things will find a home after the remodel if they haven't found one yet.Bathroom Lighting [18:31]Bathroom lighting is often bad in ways people don't fully notice. One harsh overhead fixture, or a row of bulbs above the mirror, creates shadows on the face -- under the eyes, under the nose, under the chin -- that make people look older and more tired than they are. If you walk into your bathroom every morning and immediately want to look somewhere else, the lighting may be a bigger factor than you think.Why mirrors make you cringe [19:25] -- Most bathroom lighting is designed to illuminate the room, not the person at the mirror. A ceiling fixture in the middle of the room does the former. It doesn't do the latter well.Fixing harsh shadows [20:22] -- Light from both sides of the mirror is significantly better than light from above. Sconces on either side spread light evenly across the face, cut shadows, and make grooming more accurate. If side lighting isn't possible, a long horizontal fixture above the mirror is better than a single small bulb.Layered lighting [21:43] -- Good bathroom lighting usually comes from more than one source. General light -- ceiling fixture, recessed lights, or both -- makes the room usable. Task lighting at the mirror is where the real work gets done. One fixture can't do both jobs well.Mirror task lighting [22:14] -- The goal is light on your face, from roughly face level. That's what reduces shadows. A fixture above the mirror alone usually can't deliver that.Sconce placement [23:56] -- Height matters. Too low creates the campfire-flashlight effect. Too high brings the shadows back. Aim for face-level illumination, and let the person who needs the most help from the lighting make the call on placement.Shower and night lighting [24:54] -- A shower with walls that block the main room's light probably needs its own fixture. A dark shower feels less clean and less comfortable than it should. Night lighting is the thing people forget: a dimmer, toe-kick lighting, or a softer secondary source lets you use the bathroom at odd hours without switching on every bulb in the room.Bulb temperature consistency [26:02] -- Cool bulbs feel sterile; warm bulbs can make whites and skin tones look strange. A warm neutral bulb is a solid starting point for most bathrooms. More important than the specific temperature is keeping it consistent across all fixtures. Mismatched bulb temperatures can make the room feel off in a way that's hard to identify -- paint reads differently in different spots, tile can shift color. Sort out lighting before finalizing paint colors or any other choices sensitive to light.Remodel Upgrades to Add [28:00]When a bathroom is torn apart, some things are much easier to add than they'll ever be again. Worth at least pricing out:Heated floors -- bathroom square footage is small, and if the old floor is already coming up, now is the time to askVentilation -- a weak or struggling fan should be replaced now, not after it causes moisture damage to a freshly renovated roomOutlet placement -- if outlets are always in the wrong spot, fix it while walls are openShower niche -- easier to build in now than to add laterShower lighting -- while the walls are accessibleBlocking for grab bars -- you may not want them now, but blocking costs almost nothing during a remodel and makes installation easy whenever you doAging in Place Choices [30:44]If you plan to be in the home long-term, a remodel is a good moment to make choices that work better as you age. This doesn't have to look like a care facility. Options have improved considerably. A curbless shower can look modern. A wider shower entry feels more open. A shower bench can feel spa-like.

Any Pinterest or web search on “mid-century kitchen” is going to yield a plethora of open plan kitchens featuring a central island. But as we learned a couple of weeks ago from friend of the pod (and mid-century houses everywhere), Atom Stevens, a mid-century kitchen is a room with four walls.So where did this “open mid-century kitchen” myth come from?I'm wrapping up our kitchen season with a deep dive into one of my all-time favorite open kitchen plans - it's also very likely THE OG island kitchen - The Stahl House (Case Study House 22), designed by California architect Pierre Koenig.In today's episode you'll hear:Why this open kitchen is actually defined by constraints. Which elements make this dramatic kitchen eminently useable.  How to adapt Koenig's creative design moves to work in even the most modest mid-century ranch.  Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2407 Like and subscribe at Apple | Spotify Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

Mike and Trey Farley host the Luxury Outdoor Living Podcast and interview Rhonda Sheeran of Fiber Creations about Pool Stars, a patented fiber-optic “stars in the pool floor” product with a 3D twinkling effect that appears on the pool bottom and reflects off the water surface. Rhonda describes her background in pool tile, renovation, plastering, and early fiber-optic lighting, and explains how Pool Stars use high-quality Mitsubishi fibers bundled from an LED RGBW/DMX-capable illuminator (no electricity in the water) through minimal piping, then distributed as single/double/triple fibers for varied brightness. She details installation steps, plaster/tile considerations, remodel approaches, distance limits (~90 feet), dimming and app/DMX control, use cases (sun shelves, decks, walls, star ceilings, countertops), quality cautions, and typical costs varying by star count and labor.   Discover more: https://www.fibercreations.com/ https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/   00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:12 Meet Rhonda Sheeran 02:18 Pool Stars Origin Story 05:55 How Pool Stars Work 10:35 Installation Step by Step 15:17 Remodels and Tile Pools 17:02 Safety and Equipment Setup 21:25 Customization and DMX Control 25:10 Creative Applications Beyond Pools 27:53 Finish Tips and Longevity 29:25 Podcast Legacy Story 30:29 Remodeling a Star Pool 32:19 Drones and Dimming Control 33:43 Why Quality Fiber Matters 35:25 Acrylic Windows and Placement 36:23 Star Ceilings Installation 39:11 Backlit Stone and Showers 41:16 Controllers Apps and Music Sync 44:21 Product Evolution and Install Tips 47:35 Durability Big Clients and Future 50:16 Cost Ranges and Design Options 52:19 Rapid Fire Guest Questions 54:20 Seeing It In Person and Wrap Up

Do you dream of walking into your bathroom and feeling like you've stepped into a peaceful spa instead of a chaotic locker room? You're not alone. That sense of calm—the clear counters, the beautiful organization, the space to breathe—is absolutely achievable without a single renovation. In this episode, Kathi Lipp sits down with her friend Tenneil Register to tackle one of the most overlooked spaces in our homes: the bathroom. Together, they share practical, budget-friendly strategies to transform this everyday space into a personal retreat. What's Ruining Your Bathroom Calm? Before you can create that spa-like atmosphere, you need to identify what's creating friction in your space. Kathi and Tenneil walk through the five major friction points that steal your bathroom peace: Counter clutter – When reaching for one item means navigating nine others Half-used products – The hairspray you don't love but might use "someday" Towel chaos – Clean, dirty, half-used, and too many categories Medicine cabinet randomness – Duplicate products bought in desperation Homeless items – Hair dryers, clips, and samples without a designated spot The Order of Operations for Bathroom Calm The key to success is working through your bathroom systematically without creating a bigger mess. Kathi and Tenneil share their step-by-step approach: Fast win first: Take out the trash and expired items (you're on a trash scavenger hunt!) Group like with like: All skincare together, all dental together—but only what you currently use Sort by frequency: Daily items get prime real estate, weekly and rare items go deeper One basket per person: Especially crucial for shared bathrooms The reset rule: Nothing lives on the counter that you don't use daily Simple Spa Upgrades That Make a Difference Once the clutter is cleared, small touches can elevate your bathroom experience without breaking the budget: Put counter items on a pretty tray (just like at the spa!) Invest in one set of luxurious towels just for you Add a favorite scent through a diffuser or candle Include a stool or seat for comfort Use attractive containers for cotton pads and Q-tips Add music with a rechargeable lighted mirror that holds your phone Key Takeaways The bathroom requires a different mindset than closet decluttering. Instead of asking "what should I keep?" you're asking "what can I throw away?" This trash scavenger hunt mentality, combined with the reset rule and simple organizational systems, can transform your bathroom from overwhelming to inviting in just 15 minutes. Your homework: Set a 15-minute timer and clear just one surface in your bathroom today.

In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network Podcast, Logan sits down with Barry Gant and Änd Lynn from Seven Day Kitchens to unpack one of the most unusual remodeling business models in the industry: a full kitchen remodel completed in seven days or less. From the outside, it sounds impossible. Most kitchen remodels take 8–12 weeks and leave homeowners living in a construction zone the entire time. But Barry explains how their company achieves the seven-day timeline—not through shortcuts, prefab materials, or cosmetic updates—but through extreme planning, specialized teams, and eliminating the downtime between trades that typically drags projects out for months. The conversation dives into the operational shifts required to make this work, how they built buy-in from subcontractors, why niching into one type of project changed the entire business, and why the seven-day promise has become such a powerful differentiator in their market. If you've ever wondered what remodeling would look like if the entire process were redesigned around speed, systems, and specialization, this episode is a fascinating look inside a radically different approach to construction.
