One of the common questions on homeowners’ minds is how long will it take to remodel a kitchen. It is probably the most complicated room in your home to remodel.

This is not HGTV…no, it can’t be done in a day or a week.

Today Nancy answers that question and more:

• Lots of moving parts to the project
• Planning Is Key
• Average Timeline by Kitchen Remodel Type
• Factors That Affect the Kitchen Renovation Timeline

Happy New Year 2025! One of my resolutions for the new year is to not work on Sundays. Well, maybe just a little, but the result is to publish Home Design Chat with Nancy on Mondays, not Sundays. Not a big deal but Mondays works great for me and also for Chris, my tech guy.

Another change, as I mentioned last week, is to publish DesignersCircleHQ.com for homeowners and DIYers. This online publication has been around for 16 yrs focusing on the Builders, Architects and Designers of the Arizona Design Community, but now its time to partner DesignersCircleHQ.com with Home Design Chat with Nancy.

What will DesignersCircleHQ.com feature:

• Trends - what's new for colors, furniture, kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, etc.
• New Products - new items are always popping up so this is a good place to share them.
• Before & After pictures - these will be from me and other designers. Everyone enjoys these.
• Podcasts - If you listen to Home Design Chat with Nancy, the player will give you the ability to listen here and also leave comments.
