Kitchen and bath design might not sound like the most thrilling topic, but trust me, when Eric G dives into it, it’s like watching a master chef at work—if that chef were also a wizard with a measuring tape!

Ever thought about the kitchen triangle? Well, Eric says it’s outdated! Instead, he’s all about zones—imagine a prep zone, cleanup zone, and cooking zone, all working in harmony like a well-rehearsed band. And don’t even get him started on ventilation—if you think you can skip a proper range hood, you’re in for a rude awakening. He’ll have you believing that proper air circulation is the key to a happy kitchen. Plus, he’s got the scoop on hiring certified designers; spoiler alert: it’s a must if you don’t want to end up with a cabinet catastrophe. Trust me, by the end of this show, you’ll be itching to grab a pencil, a notepad, and maybe even a sledgehammer to get started on your own remodel!
