Kitchen Remodel Mistake #1: Letting Your General Contractor Design Your Kitchen

Welcome back to Home Design Chat with Nancy, where we talk about smart design, real-world remodeling, and how to make better decisions for your home. Today’s topic is one I hear about all the time—and honestly, it can save you from some very expensive mistakes.

I’m joined by Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica in Scottsdale, and we’re talking about why your general contractor should not be your kitchen designer.

Our topics include:

• Design vs building - What's the difference?
• Common problems
• Costly mistakes bias & product choices
• The best process for kitchen design
• The final takeaways

If you're planning on a kitchen or  renovation, I would definitely be happy to work with you. 

I currently have availability in February for kitchen and bathroom design projects. You can email me anytime at Nancy@NancyHugo.com—I’d love to hear from you.

And finally, visit DesignersCircleHQ.com, a website I started 18 years ago. It covers everything related to design and features updated podcasts, design trends, design news, and more. The site is updated every other week.
