Have you ever thought of that perfect kitchen remodel? You spend months planning, budgeting, and picturing your wish list. Before those demolition hammers start swinging, let's talk about something crucial: your roof.

Your beautiful new kitchen could be overshadowed (literally!) by a leaky, outdated roof. This episode of Home Design Chat with Nancy dives into why your roof deserves just as much attention as your dream kitchen.

Charlie Holquin with Roof King is our roofing expert today and will chat with Nancy about the following:

• Signs your roof might need attention before a remodel. Don't let hidden problems become a nightmare after remodel project is completed.
• All about roofs: different roof elevations, roof materials, & maintenance
• Roofing Nomenclature: know what your roofer is talking about when he refers to roof elements

Because let's face it, your home deserves a roof that's reliable and worry-free. So tune in and ensure your home stays protected for years to come!

Did you know that different colors stir different feelings due to how our brain responds to each tone?

For example, bright, warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) stimulate energy and happiness while cool, subdued colors (blues, greens, purples) are soothing and calming.

Sarah Jones, Designer Services Representative with Dunn-Edwards Paint, is back with us to chat about the psychology of color and how it is used in the commercial setting as well as how it should be used in our homes.

Sarah will also explain what color drenching is, trending kitchen and bath finishes and much more.

Everyone loves the look and the coziness of fireplaces and I’m no exception. I have been including fireplaces in my designs for years. Family rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and patios.

Today I am happy to have as my guest Keith Richardson, President at Arizona Fireplaces, a leading player in the hearth industry. Keith's parents founded Arizona Fireplace in 1980 and holds the distinction of being of the the fastest-growing privately held companies in the nation.

Keith explains what sets his company apart from other players in the hearth industry.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of the various types of fireplaces, their unique benefits and drawbacks, and practical advice on selecting the perfect fireplace to enhance your home's ambiance. Whether you seek the traditional charm of a wood-burning hearth, the modern convenience of gas, the flexibility of electric, or the sleek design of ethanol, this episode will help you make an informed decision.

Additionally, Keith will answer the following list of common questions:

• What wood species should and shouldn't be burned?
• What is the most popular type of fireplace?
• Do homeowners get a fireplace for looks or heat?
• What to do for "no burn" days?
• Is it difficult to install a fireplace from Arizona Fireplace?
• Can fireplaces be ordered online?
