Chris Brown’s Showroom Favorites – September 2025
A Note From Jason

Off to the races! My boys are heading into 5th and 7th grade. Hard to believe!
Hello everyone, and hello fall!
This season always sneaks up on me. One minute we’re soaking up the slower, laid-back pace of summer, and the next we’re scrambling to keep track of school supplies, schedules, and activities. Who needs to be where, when? How much homework needs to be completed? Have friendships shifted, or stayed the same? It’s a whirlwind—and honestly, a little overwhelming at times—but it’s also exciting. Watching my sons move up to 5th and 7th grade reminds me that with every new challenge comes growth. My goal this year is to embrace the change, not resist it, and to celebrate the progress that comes with each season. Let’s go!
On the work front, we’ve had some exciting changes, too. I’m thrilled to introduce Antonio Paula, our new Showroom Manager. Many of you knew Michelle Ritchie, who led our showroom sales team for more than a decade. Michelle was instrumental in modernizing our technology and keeping our focus on exceptional service. We’re so grateful for her contributions, and we wish her well as she launches her new venture, Mended By Meesh, specializing in carpentry and small projects.
Antonio brings a wealth of experience from luxury retail, with a strong background in customer service and creating value in the shopping experience. He’s quickly getting up to speed on our systems and is excited to meet all of you. We’re lucky to have him join our family!
Finally, I want to celebrate Chris Brown, who was recently promoted to President of Platt Builders, Inc. After nearly two decades with the company, Chris’s leadership and dedication have earned him this well-deserved role. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with him and his team on their beautiful projects. This month, Chris is our guest blogger—be sure to check out his picks and insights below.
Here’s to fresh starts, new faces, and continued growth.
Best,
Jason Sevinor
President

Platt Builders is an award-winning home renovation company that has been serving suburban Boston for over thirty (30) years. They work closely with the most talented architects and designers to deliver beautiful spaces of enduring quality. From kitchens and baths to custom homes – and every space in between – the Platt team of carpenters and cabinetmakers is ready to build your dream space.


THE GALLEY IDEAL WORKSTATION
My favorite part about kitchens is entertaining. The Galley Workstation is PERFECT for just that. The beautiful wood options make it work well for anyone’s taste and space. As custom cabinet makers, these sinks pack the pieces we build with functionality and an exciting versatility for hosts.
TERE-STONE SUBWAY TILE SHOWER WALLS
As a custom builder, we install many beautiful custom showers each year. I love that there is an elegant home maintenance solution for the shower in your house that doesn’t need to be fully custom. We love to work with new, innovative, and beautiful products throughout the build process. These Tere-Stone Tile Shower Walls offer a variety of nice options for a quick and budget-friendly installation in your next bathroom project.

JACLO ROUND RAIN MACHINE
As someone who has a rain shower head in my own bathroom, it is an amazing addition to any shower. Although I do not use it every day, when I do, it feels great! I love having the option, and I am a sucker for “pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.”


STONE FOREST CONSOLE VANITY
This Stone Forest Vanity immediately caught my eye. The combination of wood, metal, and stone attracted me to this piece. The solid construction and classic, yet updated, design profile creates a beautiful balance that would look amazing in one of our bathroom projects.
DORNBRACHT FAUCET
This Dornbracht faucet interested me immediately because of its unique shape and the feel of the metal. The stunning finish and volume control knobs remind me of a high-fidelity stereo receiver. It was so fun to touch and use. This system combines a sophisticated look with elegant and sleek tactile detailing.
