We recently traveled to Orlando, FL to attend the National Kitchen & Bath Industry Show.  We’re so excited to talk about KBIS which is North America’s largest trade show dedicated to all aspects of kitchen and bath design. Trends are established here, products are launched, and there are endless amounts of inspiration within the design community. Joann is on vacation this week, so I am thrilled to have our very first co-host, Jessica Duce. Jessica is the founder of J. Duce Designs and Vacation Rental Designers (jducedesign.com) in Spring, TX. Tune in to hear more insights from Jessica and myself on this episode of Inside Design.
