The Kitchen Remodel Fast-Track Planning Bundle gives you the knowledge, sequence, tools, and organization to plan your remodel confidently — so you can make better decisions, protect your budget, and avoid the mistakes that are much cheaper to fix before construction begins.

You've been thinking about this kitchen for a while now.
Maybe you've saved hundreds of inspiration photos. Maybe you've had a few contractor conversations. Maybe you've started researching appliances, or gotten a quote that left you with more questions than answers.
And through all of it, there's something quietly sitting in the back of your mind.
"Am I doing this right?"
That's not a small question when you're about to spend $50,000, $75,000, maybe $100,000 or more on a project you've never done before. A project that involves dozens of professionals, hundreds of decisions, custom products with long lead times, contracts with real legal weight, and permanent choices that are expensive — sometimes impossible — to undo.
Nobody hands you a roadmap for this. You piece it together from Google searches, Pinterest boards, contractor opinions, showroom salespeople, and advice from friends who remodeled their kitchen eight years ago under completely different circumstances. You discover decisions only when someone suddenly needs an answer. You find out what you should have thought about earlier after it's already too late to think about it cheaply.
And underneath all the research and the planning and the second-guessing is the fear that no one really talks about:
"I'm about to spend a life-changing amount of money on a project I've never done before. And I'm afraid I'll find out too late that I missed something, trusted the wrong advice, spent money in the wrong place, or made a decision I could have avoided."
That fear is completely reasonable. Kitchen remodeling is genuinely complicated. The decisions are interconnected. The stakes are real. And the most expensive mistakes aren't always the most obvious ones — they're the ones you discover after changing them requires a change order, a reorder, a modification, or living with something you wish you'd done differently.
Here's what's also true: you don't have to figure this out from scratch.
Every decision your remodel will ask of you has already been mapped out. Every step has already been put in the right order. The questions to ask, the details that matter, the mistakes that are worth avoiding, the sequence that keeps you ahead of the project instead of constantly catching up — it's all been worked out over 20 years and hundreds of real kitchens.
You just need someone to give it to you.
I'm Danya Uptegrove, a kitchen and interior designer with more than 20 years of professional experience.
Over that time, I've planned hundreds of kitchens — from practical, budget-conscious remodels to highly detailed luxury projects. I've measured spaces, developed layouts, specified cabinetry and finishes, reviewed construction drawings, worked with contractors and trades on-site, helped clients navigate unexpected problems in the middle of construction, and seen projects through from the first inspiration photo to the final punch list item.
My experience goes beyond making kitchens look beautiful. I've worked with custom home builders, kitchen and cabinetry companies, contractors, installers, architects, engineers, vendors, and trades — which means I understand how a design actually gets from an idea on paper to a finished kitchen. I know what happens between the inspiration photo and the invoice. I know what professionals need from homeowners, what homeowners need to ask professionals in return, and where projects are most likely to go sideways.
After hundreds of projects, patterns become obvious.
I know which decisions need to happen early — and what it costs when they happen late. I know which seemingly small details can create expensive problems after construction begins. I know which questions homeowners almost never think to ask until someone needs an answer by Friday. I know where budgets quietly get away from people, which upgrades are genuinely worth paying for, and where trying to save money can end up costing more.
I've also noticed something consistent about the projects that go most smoothly. It isn't always the ones with the biggest budgets. It's the ones where the homeowner came in prepared — with a clear vision, a realistic budget, a defined scope, and a basic understanding of the decisions ahead of them.
Prepared clients have better projects. They ask better questions. They make better decisions. They catch problems while the problems are still cheap to fix. They don't get talked into things they don't need or talked out of things they do. They end up with kitchens they love — and they don't spend years looking back wondering what they could have done differently.
That's what I built the Kitchen Remodel Fast-Track Planning Bundle to create.
Not to turn you into a kitchen designer or a general contractor. To give you the knowledge, sequence, tools, and organization that make the difference between a homeowner who's reacting to their remodel and one who's running it.
You don't need to know everything I know. You need the parts that matter for your project — organized into a process you can actually follow.
That's what this is.
This isn't about knowing more trivia about kitchen remodeling. It's about going from feeling like an inexperienced homeowner trying to keep up with a complicated, expensive project — to becoming an informed, organized decision-maker with a simple clear plan and one place to manage it all.
Ultimately, you go from hoping you're doing this right to knowing you have a plan.
The knowledge to make better decisions. A proven sequence to follow. An organized system to manage everything along the way. So you can spend your money intentionally, protect yourself from preventable mistakes, and end up with a kitchen you love — without looking back and wishing you'd known then what you know now.
The course walks you through the complete planning process from beginning to end— so you're never wondering what you should be working on, what you might be missing, or whether you're making decisions in the right order.
Before you can plan a kitchen, you need to know what you actually want — and be able to communicate it clearly. You'll define your priorities and personal design style, learn how to find and describe inspiration effectively, and develop a clear, cohesive vision for your new kitchen — one you can confidently bring to every professional involved in building it.
Know what your remodel should realistically cost before the first quote arrives — so bids inform your plan instead of defining it. You'll build a realistic scope and budget, explore simpler update options if needed, and identify funding solutions so your vision and your budget are aligned from the start.
A bad layout is one of the most expensive and permanent mistakes a kitchen remodel can produce. You'll learn how to accurately measure your space, understand kitchen layout fundamentals and standard dimensions, and develop a functional layout plan that fits your space, serves your family, and addresses decisions that become costly once construction begins.
Great design isn't just about picking things you love — it's about making them work together. You'll learn how to navigate kitchen trends, create a memorable focal point, and confidently mix colors, textures, patterns, and metals so every element comes together into a cohesive, professionally considered kitchen.
This is where most homeowners feel the most overwhelmed — and where the most costly selection mistakes happen. You'll learn how to select and coordinate every major kitchen finish and fixture — cabinets, countertops, appliances, plumbing, lighting, hardware, tile, flooring, paint, and the often-overlooked details — so everything works together beautifully and nothing gets decided at the last minute.
Knowing who to hire, when, and what to put in writing can be the difference between a smooth project and a very expensive lesson. You'll learn which professionals your project needs, what to ask during interviews, how to evaluate proposals, and what should be in every contract — so you protect yourself before work begins.
Planning the remodel is one thing. Living through it is another. You'll learn what to expect at every stage of construction, how to work effectively with your team on-site, handle unexpected challenges, and close out the project properly — so you can stay organized and see your remodel through from demolition to done.
Every resource you need so you walk into every decision, every pro meeting, and every dollar spent already knowing what you want and what to ask for.
Every decision is already accounted for.
Every step is already in the right order.
Everything you should know, explained plainly.
You just have to follow the process.
The Planning Portal is what makes this a system instead of just a course.
It's a purpose-built project hub designed specifically around the way a kitchen remodel actually unfolds — so once you know what to do, you have one organized place to go do it. Not a generic project management tool you have to configure yourself. Not a spreadsheet you build from scratch and hope covers everything. A system that arrives already structured around your remodel, with the decisions, tasks, and sequence already built in.
No more decisions buried in texts. No more quotes lost in email. No more budget living in one spreadsheet, model numbers living in screenshots, and important conversations living only in your memory.
Your entire remodel — every dollar, decision, document, and deadline — has one home. And it belongs to you.
Always know where your project stands — without digging through everything to find out. The Dashboard gives you a real-time overview of your entire remodel so you can see what's in progress, what needs your attention, and where things stand at a glance.
Your project brain. Get answers based on your actual project, not generic remodeling advice. The built-in Assistant knows the information you've entered for your specific remodel and is programmed with the knowledge from the course — so you can ask questions in plain language and get help that's relevant to your kitchen, not someone else's.
Never wonder what to work on next. Follow a pre-built list of remodeling tasks in the right order so important steps don't get forgotten and you're always working on the right thing at the right time.
Define exactly what your project includes — and what it doesn't — before anyone starts quoting. A clear scope means contractors are bidding the same job, bids are easier to compare honestly, and there are fewer expensive surprises when work begins.
See what you planned to spend, what you've committed, what you've actually paid, and what's left. Instead of discovering where the money went after it's gone, you can make every financial decision with a clear, current picture of where things stand.
Compare what professionals have actually included — not just the number at the bottom. The Bid Tracker gives you a structured way to evaluate quotes side by side so you can make an informed decision instead of defaulting to the lowest price or the contractor who happened to call back first.
Keep every finish, fixture, and product decision in one organized place. Cabinets, countertops, appliances, plumbing, lighting, hardware, tile, flooring, paint — every model number, vendor, price, and decision your kitchen requires, tracked and organized so nothing gets overlooked, forgotten, or decided at the last minute under pressure.
Know what's been ordered, what's arrived, and what's still outstanding. Missing or delayed products don't become last-minute construction surprises when you can see the status of everything at a glance — before someone needs it on-site.
Keep everyone involved in your project — and how to reach them — together in one place. No more searching through old emails to find a phone number or trying to remember which company is handling which part of your project.
See how the phases of your remodel fit together so you're never caught off guard. Understand what needs to happen first, how each phase affects the next, and where potential delays could ripple through the rest of the schedule.
Stop hunting through email attachments and phone photos for the document you need. Plans, measurements, proposals, specifications, photos, warranties, and contracts — organized and findable when you actually need them.
Good ideas don't disappear into saved posts, screenshots, and browser tabs. Keep inspiration, possibilities, and options together in one place so you can revisit them when decisions need to be made — instead of trying to find that photo you saved eight months ago.
Capture what was said before you forget it. Record important conversations, decisions, questions, and reminders as they happen — so you're not relying on memory for decisions that were made months ago and cost thousands of dollars.
Make sure nothing gets left behind at the end. Document unfinished work, corrections, and final details so everything gets addressed before the project — and final payments — are considered complete.
This isn't generic project management software adapted for remodeling. Every feature, every section, every built-in task and decision list was designed around one specific project: planning and executing a kitchen remodel.
The course teaches you what to know. The Planning Portal is where you go to use it.
Before we talk about everything that's included, let's address the questions that are probably sitting in the back of your mind.
"$297 is a lot for a course."
It would be — if this were a course you were comparing to other courses.
But that's not the right comparison. The right comparison is your remodel.
You're about to make tens of thousands of dollars in decisions on a project you've never done before. One unnecessary change order. One fixture ordered in the wrong size. One item missed in a quote. One cabinet modification. One product you have to reorder. One decision made too late to make it cheaply.
Any one of those can cost more than the entire system.
This doesn't have to save you thousands of dollars to pay for itself. It only has to help you avoid one $297 mistake. And the real goal isn't to recover the purchase price — it's to have a better process behind every one of the thousands of dollars in decisions you're about to make.
The cheapest time to catch a remodeling mistake is before you make it.
"I already have a contractor — or a designer."
Good. You should.
Your contractor is responsible for building the project. Your designer is responsible for the design direction. This is responsible for your side of the project — your budget, your decisions, your selections, your documents, your record of what was discussed, approved, ordered, spent, and still outstanding.
Being an organized, informed client doesn't get in the way of good professionals. It makes it easier for them to do their job well.
The better prepared you are, the smoother the project tends to go. That's true whether you have a contractor, a designer, both, or neither.
"I can find all of this information online for free."
You can. That's how many homeowners spend months researching a remodel — and still feel like they're missing something.
The problem has never been that the information doesn't exist. It's knowing what applies to your project, what order to do things in, what you're missing, and what matters enough to act on before construction begins.
You're not paying for access to facts Google can find. You're paying for 20+ years of professional experience that figured out which facts matter, organized them into a sequence that works, and built a system around the way these projects actually unfold.
"Why should I trust you to tell me how to do this?"
That's a fair question.
"I would not have been able to do this project without her. Danya has been such a major part of getting my project completed the way I envisioned. From the start, she helped me make the most of my space. When I had to make changes, she was right there helping me make decisions that solved problems without hurting the overall design."
Rebecca M.
"I was indecisive, overwhelmed and changed my mind often. Danya helped me nail down what I wanted and supported my decisions, all the while guiding me to a better design at every turn."
Russanna P.
"She was extremely patient and knowledgeable and insightful as we went through multiple renderings to get the perfect design. It is a true masterpiece — Danya is a real gem!"
James P.
"She was very helpful with creative design touches — and crafting a great solution when the counter guy mis-measured. Danya worked with the appliance people to make sure my contractor had what the appliances required in the way of power and space."
Cecilia N.
"We have remodeled many homes. We know how annoying it can be. With Danya...we experienced a smooth design, delivery and install. And it came out even better than we had hoped for. My advice is, listen to Danya's suggestions. She made our dream a reality."
Kathy F.
"She really knows her materials and design! Very helpful in narrowing down from a multitude of choices to an actual shopping list that you can order from."
Mariana L.
Notice what these clients are describing. Not just a beautiful kitchen — though that too. They're describing someone who solved real problems in the middle of real projects. A counter that was mis-measured. A client who was overwhelmed and indecisive. Appliance specifications that had to be coordinated with a contractor. Decisions that had to be remade without compromising the overall design.
That's not textbook knowledge. That's experience you can only get from doing this work, on real projects, with real money on the line, for a very long time.
Now I'm putting that experience on your side of the table.
You shouldn't need to spend 20+ years working on hundreds of kitchens to know which questions to ask, which decisions matter, what needs to happen next, or which seemingly small details can become expensive problems later.
Your kitchen may be your first remodel.
It isn't mine.
You have a kitchen remodel in your future and want to go into it prepared. Whether you're actively planning or still in the dreaming phase, the earlier you have a process, the more every decision benefits from it.
You're about to spend a significant amount of money and want to spend it wisely. You're not looking for a cheap kitchen. You're looking to make sure every dollar you commit is committed intentionally — and that the decisions behind it are as informed as they can be.
You feel overwhelmed by how much there is to figure out. The decisions, the professionals, the products, the timeline, the budget — it's a lot. This gives you a structure to work within so you're not building the process and making the decisions at the same time.
You've gotten quotes that don't match and you're not sure how to evaluate them. When bids come in at wildly different numbers, it usually means they're not for the same scope. You'll learn how to establish a clear project scope so you're comparing what's actually comparable.
You want to work effectively with contractors and designers without feeling like you're always one step behind. You don't need to know what they know. You need to know enough to ask better questions, understand your options, and make the final calls with confidence.
You're worried about making a mistake you can't undo. Layout, dimensions, electrical planning, product selections — some decisions are much harder to fix after construction begins. This helps you address the ones that matter most while changing them is still easy.
You want one organized place to manage your entire remodel. Instead of running your project out of texts, emails, screenshots, and spreadsheets, you want your budget, decisions, selections, documents, and timeline in one place that belongs to you.
You want to take an active role in designing your own kitchen. The course teaches you how to develop your vision, understand design principles, work through your layout, and pull your selections together into a cohesive, intentional design. You don't need a designer to hand you a finished plan — and this gives you the knowledge to arrive at one yourself. That said, having a professional review and finalize your design before anything is ordered or built is always worth considering, and the course will help you understand exactly what to bring to that conversation.
You're considering acting as your own general contractor and coordinating more of the project yourself. The Planning Portal is particularly useful when you're managing multiple professionals, tracking your own orders, and keeping the full picture of the project in one place. It is also useful when you are working with professionals and collaborating. You can invite your team to access the planning portal and set their permissions inside.
Your remodel is still months away and you want to use that time wisely. Nothing is committed yet. This is the moment when preparation has the most leverage — and when changing your mind is still completely free.
You're looking for someone to make the decisions for you. This system gives you the knowledge, sequence, and tools to make better decisions — but the decisions are still yours. If you want to be completely hands-off and have someone else manage every detail on your behalf, full-service personal design services are a better fit.
You want a few quick decorating ideas. This isn't a style guide or an inspiration board. It's a complete planning system for homeowners who are serious about executing a real remodel — from the first decision to the final punch list.
You're expecting a guarantee that nothing will go wrong. Remodeling involves existing conditions, custom products, multiple trades, and human beings. Something unexpected almost always comes up. This system is designed to prevent the preventable problems and prepare you to handle the unavoidable ones — not to promise a problem-free project.
Your remodel is already completely finished. If every decision has been made, every product installed, and every professional paid, the planning process is behind you. This is most valuable before and during the project — not after it's done.
You want someone else to manage your contractors, vendors, and timeline for you. This helps you manage your side of the project with greater clarity and organization. It doesn't replace a project manager or construction manager if that's the level of support your project requires.
The Kitchen Remodel Fast-Track Planning Bundle brings together three components designed to work together — so what you learn in the course becomes an organized, executable plan in the Portal, supported every step of the way by the resources that make each decision easier to navigate.
Component 1
A $497 Value
Seven complete modules that walk you through the entire planning process from beginning to end — vision, budget, layout, design, product selection, hiring professionals, and executing the plan. Every decision your remodel will ask of you is already accounted for and laid out in the right order.
Completely self-paced. Watch from beginning to end, binge it over a weekend, or return to individual lessons as you reach that stage of your remodel. Lifetime access, with all future updates included at no additional charge.
Component 2
A $197 Value
25+ Practical, immediately usable guides, worksheets, checklists, cheat sheets, planning kits, and roadmaps that support each stage of the course and help you turn what you learn into an actual plan. A few highlights:

Component 3
A $297 Value
Your remodel's permanent home base. A purpose-built project hub designed specifically around the way a kitchen remodel actually unfolds — with your Dashboard, AI Project Assistant, To-Do List, Scope Planner, Master Budget, Bid Tracker, Selections tracker, Order Tracker, Vendors & Pros, Project Timeline, Designs & Files, Ideas board, Notes, and Punch List all in one organized place.

BONUS
A $27 Value
100+ places where homeowners find savings — and exactly what to do instead. The biggest savings aren't always found in sales or cheaper products. Sometimes they're hidden in the decisions themselves.
Which decisions are worth spending on, which upgrades often aren't, and where small changes can make a surprisingly big difference.
Total Value: $991
Your Price Today: $297
One-time purchase.
No subscription.
Buy-now-pay-later options available at checkout.
The price is $297 as a one-time purchase. There is no recurring subscription fee. Eligible customers may also have access to buy-now-pay-later options such as Klarna or Afterpay at checkout.
You'll receive lifetime access to the course and access to the Planning Portal for the lifetime of the product, along with future updates to the course, resources, and Portal at no additional charge.
Yes. The bundle comes with a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you decide it isn't right for you within 30 days, you can request a refund.
You'll receive login emails after purchase and can get started immediately. Access should arrive within the first hour, usually sooner.
It's completely self-paced. You can binge it like Netflix, work through the entire planning process over a few weeks, or watch individual lessons as you reach that stage of your remodel. There's no deadline and no pressure.
That's actually the best time to start. Nothing is committed yet. You have time to make every decision carefully, explore layouts, research products, and prepare for professional meetings — while changing your mind is still completely free.
You don't need to start over. Bring the decisions you've already made into the system, mark off what's complete, and use the remaining process to find any gaps and organize what's still ahead. If construction has already begun, there are still selections to finalize, expenses to track, documents to organize, and eventually a punch list to complete. Finished is really the only point at which it's too late.
Yes. The program doesn't teach one particular kitchen aesthetic. Whether your taste is traditional, contemporary, coastal, transitional, modern, colorful, neutral, or something entirely your own, you'll learn principles that help you develop and execute your own design direction.
Your kitchen is the most complicated room in your house. Many of the skills used to plan a kitchen are transferrable to other rooms in your home or a whole house. You can create multiple projects in your planning portal if needed.
A great designer can take a tremendous amount off your plate, but you're still the person approving the decisions, and paying for them. Having your own record of what was selected, approved, ordered, and spent, and still outstanding keeps you informed without getting in your designer's way.
Your contractor is responsible for building the project, not necessarily defining every priority, researching every product, tracking your personal budget, anticipating every decision for you, or making sure you're comfortable with every trade-off. The better prepared you are, the easier it is for a good contractor to do their job well.
It absolutely will if that's what you choose to do. The course walks you through planning your layout, putting your design together, and selecting your materials. Although it is recommended to have final plans checked by a professional, this course will get you most of the way there.
Yes. You're welcome to share your course login info with your immediate household, and the planning portal has a feature where you can invite family members, designers, or other professionals. You can set permissions for them to view or edit.
No. The course platform and planning portal are very intuitive and easy to use. There is a complete video walk-through included showing you how to use the whole thing.
Your remodel doesn't have to go disastrously wrong for this to pay for itself.
One unnecessary change order. One fixture ordered in the wrong size. One item missed in a quote. One cabinet modification you didn't see coming. One product you have to reorder. One decision you made under pressure that you wish you'd had more time to think through.
Any one of those can cost more than the entire system — on a project that may run $50,000, $100,000, or more.
The question isn't whether your kitchen remodel will cost you $297. It's whether you want to spend that $297 before the mistakes happen — or potentially thousands after.
Nothing about your remodel is locked in yet.
No contracts signed. No products ordered. No construction started. No decisions made under pressure with a contractor waiting on an answer.
That changes the moment things start moving. And once they do, changing your mind gets expensive.
Right now, every decision is still inexpensive to make — and free to change. The scope, the budget, the layout, the selections, the professionals you hire — all of it can still be considered carefully, planned deliberately, and decided without a deadline forcing your hand.
This is the moment when a few hundred dollars has the most leverage it will ever have on your project.
The Kitchen Remodel Fast-Track Planning Bundle comes with a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
Go through the course. Use the Planning Portal. Put the resources to work on your actual project. If you decide within 30 days that it isn't right for you, request a refund. No questions, no explanations, no hassle.
You have nothing to lose — and a kitchen you love to gain.
One-time purchase. No subscription. Access arrives within one hour of purchase. Buy-now-pay-later options available at checkout. 30-Day No-Questions-Asked Money-Back Guarantee.
Plan your kitchen right from day one.
