    Honey, Let's Restore a Mansion - Thoughts on Design, Episode 24
    Apr 16 2022
    We recently visited Steele Mansion in Painesville, Ohio, and asked the proprietor, Carol Shamakian, to describe how she and her family came to own this place. She told us that her husband went to the grocery store one day and came home to say, “Honey, I bought a mansion.”
    Unfortunately this once grand home, built in the 1860’s, had been deemed unsalvageable and was slated for demolition. Only the vision of this plucky family could see the possibilities in restoring the home. Listen as we learn how they brought Steele Mansion back to life, and created the gracious inn that it is today.

    Eastwood (Amish) Furniture - Thoughts on Design, Episode 23
    Mar 28 2022
    We recently sat down with Ron Nandor, who owns Eastwood Furniture. This company has three locations in Ohio and works very closely with local Amish craftspeople.
    Over the past twenty years, he has seen furniture adapt from very basic designs, with limited choices in wood and finishes, to highly customized pieces, which now offer various wood species, a wide variety of stain and paint colors, and highly customized designs. Eastwood Furniture also fabricates custom cabinetry and furniture created from reclaimed barn wood.
    Please join us as we discover a new source for local custom furniture that is beautiful, locally made and environmentally responsible.

  • Remodeling Two Bathrooms - Thoughts on Design, Episode 22

    Remodeling Two Bathrooms - Thoughts on Design, Episode 22
    Mar 21 2022
    In this episode, we meet Chris Bores, a neighbor of Mark Goode. Chris and his wife Erin moved to their 100-year-old home in Shaker Heights, Ohio, in 2018, along with their two young daughters. They knew when they moved in that they would be doing some repairs, starting with the bathrooms.
    Since Chris had done a lot of hands-on improvements at their previous home, he planned on doing a lot of the work himself. After several plumbers recommended a complete renovation and he had started listening to this podcast, Chris and Erin decided to hire Kim to help them with the re-design of their two bathrooms.
    We are going to follow along with them during this project. Please join us as we discuss their priorities, needs, style preferences, sourcing of materials, and how to carve out every extra inch in these two small bathrooms.Contact Kim at kimcarroll13@gmail.com
