About this listen

In this episode of Building, Brews & BBQ, Vince and Nathan tackle one of the most misunderstood aspects of homebuilding: design. From bold trends to timeless finishes, they break down how to make smart design decisions—whether you’re building a custom home or selecting finishes from a showroom.

They explore:
• How to balance trendy choices with lasting style
• Where to splurge and where to save
• Smart design strategies that work at any budget
• The power of a single statement piece
• Why committing to your selections matters more than you think
• Tips for using materials like porcelain and mixed metals wisely

This episode is packed with practical advice, honest builder perspective, and a few strong opinions—plus a breakdown of what a “schmear” actually is (spoiler: not for your bagel).

If you’re planning a home, remodeling a space, or just want to make informed choices about design that won’t age out in five years—this one’s for you.
