Design. Drink. Dish.

Join John and Wendy as they pop some Veuve and dive into the designer’s dilemma. What do you do when your client’s style is the complete opposite of yours, and how do you still deliver a dream home that feels like them, not you. Then they get into the most unrealistic renovation expectations they hear all the time, from timelines and pricing to what contractors can and cannot promise before walls get opened. They also unpack the sustainability lie, how to spot greenwashing, which eco claims are real, and why fully “green” projects can turn into a nightmare fast. Plus, a listener question on where to splurge versus save during a renovation, including kitchens, bathrooms, floors, outdoor spaces, and curb appeal.
Cocktail: Veuve Clicquot with fresh berries
 Garnish with berries and enjoy chilled.

What is Design. Drink. Dish.?

Design drink and dish is going to be, first and foremost, about interior design. I want this to be
an uncensored podcast talking about everything that goes on day to day. the nitty gritty of it all.
There is a stigma attached to interior designers that we dress fancy and our job is super luxurious and easy but that is simply not the case (at least for the REAL interior designers and not the decorators haha). So I will talk about issues that arise, crazy client stories, expectations vs reality etc. I am a huge drinker (not an alcoholic lmao) so there will be drinking involved and I will describe the cocktail and how to make it in the beginning of each episode (this will be quick). I do plan to have guests on certain episodes. They will be vendors, clients (past and present) or just someone who has no idea about interior design.
