A hospital addition does more than just expand and refresh a campus—it can improve wayfinding, make room for new spaces, and prompt a broader rethink of how the environment supports patients, visitors, and staff both operationally and emotionally. We spoke with BWBR Principal Jason Nordling about the Avera McKennan Hospital Women's and Children's Inpatient Addition and Remodel, an exciting project that highlights the complexity, collaboration, and powerful opportunities involved in expanding these services.If you like what we are doing with our podcasts please subscribe and leave us a review!You can also connect with us on any of our social media sites!https://www.facebook.com/BWBRsolutionshttps://twitter.com/BWBRhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/bwbr-architects/https://www.bwbr.com/side-of-design-podcast/

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.
