Bringing visions to life. ✨
This stunning project began with the plans of the renowned architect Philip Hazan, and I had the honor of turning those plans into reality by managing the project and handling the interior design.
It started with guiding the clients through selecting the perfect stone, materials, color palette, plumbing fixtures, and other essential elements. I worked closely to tweak the cabinetry and millwork designs to reflect their unique style while ensuring functionality.
For this ensuite transformation, I began by meticulously planning the execution—creating a detailed budget, timeline, and schedule—and selecting the best skilled teams to deliver an upscale result. From complete demolition to rebuilding from the skeleton, I was on-site every single day, ensuring every design detail was executed to perfection.

This classic Connecticut home was bought by a growing family. The house was in an ideal location but needed to be expanded. Design Builders & Remodeling almost doubled the square footage of the home. Creating a new sunny and spacious master bedroom, new guestroom, laundry room, garage, kids bathroom, expanded and renovated the kitchen, family room, and playroom. The upgrades and addition is seamlessly and thoughtfully integrated to the original footprint.

Our clients came to us with a dream to create a home that was beautiful, filled with classic details yet embody a Modern French aesthetic. We started with the foundation, selecting materials that would be the building blocks for our design. One of the joys of this project was the client's love of color, primarily in hues of blue. A special moment in the kitchen with its jewel-like Azul Macauba Quartzite countertop, brass hardware, and sailor’s coat blue island. As we are designing for a family, practical touches along with luxury elements were a must. Creative thinking was used to reimagine the entry closet into a multi-purpose space including the laundry, drop zone, and pantry. The master bath was filled with a classic design from the scones, wallcoverings to crystal hardware...all to transport you to a french apartment overlooking the streets of Paris. A modern twist inserted was the approach for the family room fireplace. The clean lines of stacked stone were the perfect touch. Our clients' dream home became reality in our Modern French Project and will be loved for years to come.

Moving from the city, these homebuilders bought a vacant lot in the country, allowing them to put their dreams and ideals to reality. KKLA sited the house and outdoor living spaces to take advantage of protection from afternoon sun and winds. The straw-bale construction and orientation of the house allow for indoor comfort during the hottest days, without the use of air-conditioning. Meanwhile, sustainable practices such as bio-swales and permeable paving complement the drought-tolerant landscape. The property now feels abundant and complete with native plants, wildflower meadows, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden, not to mention an organic vineyard, a lavender farm, a barn and horse paddocks, chickens and a faithful old lab.

This 7,000 square foot space is a modern weekend getaway for a modern family of four. The owners were looking for a designer who could fuse their love of art and elegant furnishings with the practicality that would fit their lifestyle. They owned the land and wanted to build their new home from the ground up. Betty Wasserman Art & Interiors, Ltd. was a natural fit to make their vision a reality.
Upon entering the house, you are immediately drawn to the clean, contemporary space that greets your eye. A curtain wall of glass with sliding doors, along the back of the house, allows everyone to enjoy the harbor views and a calming connection to the outdoors from any vantage point, simultaneously allowing watchful parents to keep an eye on the children in the pool while relaxing indoors. Here, as in all her projects, Betty focused on the interaction between pattern and texture, industrial and organic.

Our client approached us with the goal of revamping their outdated kitchen into a bright, open, and functional space. They envisioned a fresh, contemporary look with lighter, white-toned cabinetry to create an airy atmosphere. At the same time, they wanted to introduce contrast by incorporating wood-toned flooring, adding depth and character to the design.
One of the standout features of this renovation was the addition of a free-standing range hood, chosen to bring a sleek, modern touch while also serving as a unique focal point in the kitchen. Every element was carefully selected and crafted using the highest quality materials, ensuring both durability and elegance.
From concept to completion, bringing our client’s vision to life was an exciting journey for our team.

Eblindstore Project Story: Custom Window Treatments for Shan Linn's Home
At Eblindstore, we recently completed an exciting project for our client, Shan Linn, whose beautiful home featured high ceilings and a variety of rooms, including a grand living room, a welcoming entryway, a child’s room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a secondary dining area. This project allowed us to showcase our expertise in creating tailored window treatment solutions that balanced functionality and elegance.
Living Room Elegance
The centerpiece of the home was the high-ceilinged living room. To enhance its grandeur, we installed three motorized roller shades, perfect for controlling light and privacy with ease. Above these, we added tall, flowing drapery panels for a sophisticated touch that complemented the space’s architecture.
Functional Design for the Kitchen and Dining Areas
In the kitchen, practicality met style with chain-operated roller shades, providing an efficient and easy-to-maintain solution. For the larger dining room, we combined roller shades with light-blocking drapery panels, strategically designed to minimize sunlight exposure in high-glare areas.
Future-Ready Features
Understanding our client’s preferences and anticipating future needs, we ensured that all chain-operated roller shades were equipped with mechanisms that could easily be upgraded to motorized systems if desired. This forward-thinking approach added flexibility to the project.
Economical Solutions for the Basement
To keep the project budget-conscious without compromising quality, we opted for chain-operated roller shades for the basement windows. These provided a clean, modern look while maintaining cost efficiency.
Attention to Detail
Shan Linn’s father, a mechanical engineer, took a keen interest in the technical details of our work. We addressed all his questions with precision, demonstrating our thorough understanding of the project. This attention to detail, paired with our transparent pricing and efficient timelines, left a strong impression on our client and her family.
Expanding the Vision
Shan Linn was so pleased with the results that she is already considering partnering with us again to outfit the upper floors of her home. This project was completed well within the timeline, offering her a seamless and stress-free experience.
At Eblindstore, we pride ourselves on turning custom window treatment ideas into reality, delivering exceptional quality, and exceeding expectations.

Project Details
Lake home features traditional cottage theme with a combination of stone, stucco and shake siding. Features include custom red wood garage doors, special order Marvin front entry system and custom alder cabinetry. The most unique part of this home was the butler’s pantry housing an extra refrigerator, dishwasher and pantry storage.
Client Objectives
The homeowners were looking for a contractor that could help them convert their dreams a building a practice lake home, ideal for the pro fisherman on Lake Minnetonka into reality. They wanted a cozy home for family gatherings while also keeping the ability for resale an option.
“I waited several years to find the right time and the right lot to build my lake home. After interviewing several contractors I turned to Jeff because he was able to take the plans that I had spent years working on and design something that fit my needs while also keep an eye on resale. I was impressed with his expertise and knowledge of Orono’s zoning regulations. In the end, we partnered together to build the lake home of my dreams.”

Kitchen Transformation: An Open, Inviting Space
The kitchen renovation began with a bold change: we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create a seamless, open-concept layout. This reimagined space centers around a large, welcoming island that now serves as a gathering place for friends and family. The added bar area brings a touch of sophistication, ideal for hosting, while custom cabinets were carefully designed for easy access to pet essentials—making the kitchen functional for everyone in the family.
