🎤 Episode #19: I just returned from KBIS 2026 — the largest Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in North America — and I’m sharing what truly stood out.

Not every flashy product belongs in your home. As I walked the show floor, I sorted everything into three categories:

1. The repeats (good, but not groundbreaking)

2. The shock & awe (dramatic, but not practical)

3. The “ohhh… that’s smart” innovations

In this episode, we cover:

• Smart cabinet organization systems from Hardware Resources and Rev-A-Shelf
• Workstation sinks and hidden under-sink water filtration
• Countertop wireless charging
• AntiEtch surface protection for marble and natural stone
• The rise of luxury induction ranges (and whether they’re worth it)
• Integrated cabinet lighting trends
• Designer hardware brands elevating kitchen details

If you’re planning a kitchen remodel in 2026, this episode will help you:

✔ Avoid overspending on trendy upgrades
✔ Identify products that improve daily function
✔ Make smarter long-term design decisions
✔ Plan infrastructure early (before cabinetry and electrical are finalized)
