“Function First: Kitchens & Baths”

This workshop is for homeowners, renovators, and others planning to remodel a kitchen or bathroom—whether it’s your 1st or your 5th time. If you're ready to make smart, lasting decisions about layout, function, and finish choices, this session is for you.

Nope! You don’t need to be a designer to understand the principles. This class breaks down technical concepts into practical, real-life language—so you can stop guessing and start making better decisions.

This workshop goes deeper into the functional and technical side of design, specifically for kitchens and baths. It covers essential layout planning, storage, lighting, and other considerations. If the Beginner Workshop helped you think differently about rooms - this one takes you much deeper!

Yes, a recording will be available to all registrants for a limited time. If you can’t attend live, you can still learn on your own time.

Based on your ticket type, you'll receive downloadable templates, printable planning worksheets, helpful hints, and examples from real projects to help guide your process. If you choose the premium tier, you'll also get a 30-minute consultation option for personalized feedback.

Absolutely. This class is self-contained and focused specifically on kitchens and baths. While the Beginner session offers a helpful foundation, you do not need it to benefit from the elements of this workshop.

That’s the goal. Kitchens and baths are two of the most expensive spaces to update—and where mistakes are hardest to undo. This workshop gives you tools and clarity to plan better before money is spent.

The session includes live instruction with opportunities for Q&A. The highest-tier registrants will also receive a private follow-up due to the package selected.

You’ll have the option to book additional consulting time at a special rate after the session. We’ll share how to do that during the workshop and via email.

The size of your project doesn't reduce the complexity of the information you will need to complete it. In fact, small spaces present big problems when you're trying to fit your daily functions into a compact room!

No, this workshop focuses on layout logic, planning insights, and overall kitchen/bath prep—not on software training or 3D modeling. The session will help you develop a better plan with a design professional or on your own.

Yes—within reason. However, general questions are encouraged most during the session. For detailed responses, choose the highest-tier of participation to gain detailed responses during a 30-minute follow-up consultation.

Not at all. In fact, this is the best time to attend—before you make costly commitments or feel rushed by contractors. You’ll gain clarity that supports your next steps in budgeting and selection decisions.

Yes & No. This session is focused on planning and function—not specific product endorsements. But you’ll learn how to assess what products fit your goals, quality results, and future needs.

No worries—templates are designed to work digitally or on plain paper. You can follow along with a notebook if needed. The only template that possibly can't be used offline is the gridline sheets, but you can buy a quad paper notebook at most retailers selling office supplies.

Yes! There is a Beginner’s Room Design Workshop and an Advanced session on full-home planning being scheduled. You’ll have the option to choose a bundle when checking out or register for other sessions after this session.

Yes—this class welcomes pros looking for language to explain function to clients, or students interested in planning logic over surface style. It is also a great primer for collaboration with contractors/subcontractors.
