2. Lead your Kitchen Renovations with Confidence

In this episode, I sit down with Charlene Smith—designer, renovator, and author—to talk about where kitchen projects start and how to keep them from going off track. This isn’t about finishes or layouts. It’s about what happens behind the scenes—before construction begins—and how decisions, communication, and planning impact the entire project. If you’re a designer looking to take a stronger leadership role, this conversation will help you see where things break down—and how to stay in control. What You’ll Learn: • Where kitchen projects typically start to unravel • The gap between design and construction • Why early decisions matter more than you think • How to lead a project with more clarity and confidence 📘 Charlene Smith’s book: The Kitchen Renovation Planning Guide https://charlenejsmith.com/product/kitchen-planner/ Design to Delivery is the course for Designers who want to lead their projects. https://course.ladyrenovator.com/D2Dconfidentlylead 🍷Frind we enjoyed a delicious glass of the Pinot Noir https://www.frindwinery.com/Wines      Connect: Instagram
