  • Why so snobby?

    The primary host is very opinionated. The snickering and sounds under her breath when she doesn’t like something is off-putting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Roof Maintenance 101: Protecting Your Home from Costly Damage
Q: How do you know when your roof has endured these extreme hot days, and what happens to the shingles under such conditions?
Extreme heat dries out the oil within asphalt shingles, causing the shingles to become brittle and the granules to slough off, which compromises the shingle's ability to reflect UV rays and block water leaks.
Avoid Design Regrets: How to Hire the Right Interior Designer.
Q: What do you do first when hiring a designer?
Start by narrowing to two or three designers, check referrals and past clients, and establish a clear checklist of what matters most to you (budget, communication, portfolio, and fit) before interviewing.
Outdoor Living Design Trends Every Homeowner Should Know
Q: What is your approach to school and professional development for designers?
He explains his method blends art history, architecture, and photography; he runs two-day in-person sessions in Napa and virtual offerings, and he emphasizes coaching peers to elevate industry practice, especially in balancing landscape with architectural design.

Vinyl vs Hardwood vs Tile: Pros, Cons & Why Cheap Flooring Costs More
Q: What are the chances of matching LVT material if you add a bedroom a year later?
Matching material can be challenging due to die lot changes and potential variation in click systems; ordering extra material upfront and storing it is advised, as color and fit may differ over time.
