In this episode, Frances Cosway of White Pebble Interiors and I go into more detail about some of the other materials and fixtures you’ll need to choose for your kitchen. 

You’ll learn how to assess these choices not only for their aesthetic appeal, but more importantly, for how they’ll handle the punishment they’re about to endure in your family kitchen!

Frances and I talk about:
Benchtops
Choosing for durability
Tapware
Your kitchen sink
And how to choose your appliances well

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode!

The best help when renovating or building new: An Insider’s View

Hello! This is Episode 311, and in this episode and the next, it’s all about introductions and updates! And if you’re keen to hear from someone who has recently renovated their home and actually really enjoyed the experience, you’ll want to listen to this episode.

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/311]

Now, over the past year, we’ve had a fair few changes behind the scenes in Undercover Architect.

And one of those changes involved hiring an incredible woman, Caroline, as our Community Support and Member Success Coordinator. 

Caroline started on Team UA in early June, 2023, but as you’ll learn from this episode, Caroline has been inside the Undercover Architect community for a lot longer. That’s because Caroline actually did her own renovation as a HOME Method member prior to joining the UA team. 

This episode is a great conversation all about how Caroline set herself up for success to have an enjoyable, rewarding renovation project … even through COVID … as well as what she learned along the way, and how she leaned on her team to help her feel confident and problem solve as she went.

What makes a great renovation? Insights from an enjoyable project.

Hello! This is Episode 310, and in it, I’m going to take you through a way of thinking about the areas you need to focus on to help you have a great project and a great home. These are the three building blocks I believe make all the difference for you!

[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/310]

You can imagine that, in all the years I’ve been helping homeowners design, build and renovate their homes … in working with them as their architect,, and since 2014 inside Undercover Architect, I’ve had loads of people ask me questions along the lines of this:

Hey Amelia - what do I really need to make this project work. To not waste money, to get it right in my home design, to know enough so I don’t get taken advantage of, to make the best decisions for the budget I have to spend, and to create a home that I’ll love living in?

What do I need to do, to have, to be, to know to have a great project and create a great home?

Or a question along those lines! 

And since starting Undercover Architect in mid 2014, almost ten years ago now, I’ve definitely found I’ve experienced these questions en masse. Rather than getting them one at a time from potential clients as I did when I practiced traditionally as an architect, they now come in emails, social DMs, chat conversations on Zoom … and it’s generally along the same lines.

It’s totally understandable. Renovating and building can feel incredibly overwhelming to the uninitiated. It’s a big expense, a big undertaking, a time consuming process as well, and it has a long lasting impact on your finances, your lifestyle, your well-being and your life long-term.

Understanding what you need to do, and what is the simplest, most direct and effective way to achieve success is, of course, really worthwhile knowledge to have.

But I’ve found that watching what homeowners will do to try and achieve that understanding is really interesting. 

And what people think they need and want when embarking on their renovation or new build, compared to what they really do need to improve their project and home, is also interesting.

So, to answer this question, I came up with the 3 building blocks I believe make all the difference in creating a great project and a great home.

I first shared this concept on a webinar I did earlier this year, and it really resonated with those that attended. So I wanted to bring it here to you on the podcast to help you as well.

Remember, if you’d like to grab a full transcript of this episode, plus information on the resources we discuss, you can do that by heading to www.undercoverarchitect.com/310.
