Hi everyone, and welcome to Home Design Chat with Nancy.  As we get close to Christmas and the end of the year, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for listening to my podcasts.

This year marks the end of 10 years of Home Design Chat with Nancy, 

When I started this podcast, I was worried about having enough information to share with you but It seems that I never run out of topics to talk about with you.  

Over the past decade, we’ve talked about everything from kitchen and bath design to tile trends, safety, wellness, and how homes really function in everyday life.

These  podcasts have always been about education — helping you make informed decisions, not just follow trends.

Last January I started to focus more on homeowners and do -it -yourselfers, educating on every aspect of design and how-to’s. We did a series on installing tile yourself.  That was interesting.  I learned alot although I would not install myself. 

Gil Olachea became my co-host squeezing in time to podcast once or twice a month.

 I’m really excited about what’s coming up in 2026.

• Gil and I will have more honest conversations about products
• The  pros and cons — or as I call the good, the bad and the ugly.
• Biophilic designs, wellness and technology are definitely on everyone’s radar

My goal in 2026 is to keep this podcast useful, practical, and grounded in how people actually live.”

I’ll be sharing a few ‘Best of Home Design Chat with Nancy’ episodes over the next few weeks — some of the conversations you’ve loved most and that are still incredibly relevant today.

I’ll be taking a short holiday break, and I’ll be back with great new guests starting January 5th, 2026. I already have some interesting guests lined up, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

Happy Holiday
