BLB Design / Build Showroom Favorites – May 2025
A Note From Jason

We are proud of the long-term relationships we have with notable publications such as Boston Home and New England Home.
Hello everyone!
Are you looking forward to the upcoming long weekend? I certainly am! Although I wish the weather was predicted to be warmer, I am still planning to take advantage of the unofficial start of summer to get outside and channel some sunshine vibes.
We have been discussing partnerships important to us and our business. Lately, I have highlighted the significance of aligning with top-quality trade professionals, such as designers, architects, and builders, who have developed solid reputations for impeccable craftsmanship. We have also focused on the benefits of strong relationships with manufacturers and their reps. Our connections and tight bonds with these companies help us provide extraordinary service to our clients.
Another part of the network is our collaborations with regional media outlets. We have been a strong supporter of print magazines because they are a way for beautiful projects to have their moment to shine in front of an important audience of discerning homeowners. Not too long ago, there was a lot of talk about the rumored demise of paper periodicals. However, they seem to be undergoing a renaissance. The pages are full of stunning kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces. The ads (especially the Designer Bath ones!) are plentiful and impactful. We are thrilled that this type of communication is still valid and vibrant. We appreciate the work it takes to put together these glamorous issues and we applaud the publishing and editorial staff that promote our industry and help us connect us with one another.
On our social media channels, we have been celebrating National Home Remodeling Month by giving shout-outs to the people who are leading teams dedicated to knowledge, expertise, and quality. We have met many remodelers through our involvement with PRO NE (Professional Remodeling Organization of New England). Our director of marketing serves on the board, along with this month’s guest blogger, Ben Becker of BLB Design/Build.
Best,
Jason Sevinor
President

Ben Becker, Owner + Chief Visionary, and Tyler Orlansky, Senior Designer, of BLB Design / Build came by our Watertown showroom and chose their favorite products for our May blog. BLB is an award-winning, well-established company with a dozen staff, both in the office and in the field, plus an impressive network of subcontractors, affiliated designers, and architects.


Stone Forest Salus Potting Sink
This Stone Forest sink is stunning in its simplicity. It may not have the same jaw-dropping flash as their other products, but that is what we love about this item. It is just screaming to be used in a multitude of ways. Put it in a garden, fill it with dirt, let it age in place, and it will feel like it’s always been there.
GRAFF Harley Pull Down Kitchen Faucet – Brushed Onyx PVD
Truth be told, the photos alone won’t do this GRAFF fixture justice (another reason to visit the showroom!). This item needs to be seen up close or held to really understand its quality. It’s inspiring for us to see a manufacturer pay such close attention to detail, from the textured escutcheon and weight of the sprayer, down to the tactile nature of the knurling and the unique finish. This product would look incredible in an array of kitchen projects.


Dornbracht Single Lever Faucet – Chrome
We love coming across pieces that fall outside our usual aesthetic choices. The unique handle movement and how the lift rod was integrated in a way we’ve never seen before made this Dornbracht fixture very hard to resist. We kept turning this item over in our hands and inspecting every inch, without finding a flaw. We trust a fixture that we can’t stop touching and envisioning in our future bathroom projects.
Linkasink Hammered Drop In or Undermount Sink – Polished Nickel
We love a sink that evokes such a handmade quality. The polished nickel on this Linkasink creates a unique and individual look to every version of this piece. Sinks can be a way to provide such an unexpected moment of interest and joy, especially in tight powder rooms or wet bars.


Landmade Ostra Bathtub – Purestone White
This Landmade tub has such a simple and elegant shape that makes it both approachable and upscale at the same time. The unique detailing in the chamfered edge feels timeless, while the matte finish brings it in line with today’s tastes. This would fit perfectly in a bathroom designed for both his and her wants and needs.
