    #91 Homearama 2026 That's A Wrap With Jeff Wieland

    Homearama 2026 at The Estates at Bothe Farms is officially in the books, and on this episode of The WB Download, Jeff Wieland takes a look back at Wieland Builders’ 26th Homearama home, The Andante, and the incredible effort it took to bring the project to life. With more than 20,000 visitors touring eight homes during the show, Jeff shares some of the highlights from this year’s event, including The Andante’s unique music-focused design and its acoustically engineered piano room, where live music was performed throughout the show. He also talks about some of the home’s other memorable spaces, including the brewery and flight simulator. Building a Homearama home is always a team effort and this one came together on an accelerated 54-week timeline from the initial customer engagement through opening day. Jeff gives a behind-the-scenes look at the coordination required and recognizes the many people who played a role, from the Wieland Builders team and family members to subcontractors, trades, vendors, suppliers, the homeowners and designer Jillian Dowd of Curated Fine Furnishings & Design. Jeff also talks about something that can sometimes be overlooked, the finishing touches. Furniture, artwork, window treatments, accessories and décor are what ultimately transform a beautifully constructed house into a finished home ready for visitors. As Homearama wraps up, Jeff looks ahead to upcoming episodes of The WB Download and some of the guests and topics being considered for the October episodes.

    #90 Curated Fine Furnishings and Design, Jillian Dowd

    On this episode of WB Download, host Jeff Wieland sits down with Jillian Dowd of Curated Fine Furnishings and Design to talk about her career in interior design, the evolution of Curated, and her role in bringing the interiors of Wieland Builders’ 2026 Homearama home, The Andante, to life. With more than 20 years of experience in interior design, Jillian shares the journey that took her from working in the design industry and as an independent designer to becoming a co-owner and brand developer of Curated Fine Furnishings and Design. She explains how Curated combines custom, Amish-made, local, vintage, and new furnishings to create interiors that feel collected, personal, and—most importantly—livable. Jeff and Jillian also dive into the design process behind The Andante. Jillian discusses meeting homeowners Bob and Anne, learning about their tastes and existing furnishings, and using those personal elements as inspiration for a home that feels uniquely theirs. The result is a formal transitional design that balances elegance with everyday functionality through carefully coordinated wallpaper, cabinetry, furnishings, artwork, accessories, and florals. One of the highlights of the conversation is the home's piano room, where design and acoustics came together to create a truly special space. They also discuss some of The Andante's other standout features, including the primary bedroom, cabinetry, stairwell, curved lower-level ceiling, and the German-inspired brewery mural. Jillian and Jeff also look toward the future and discuss the growing relationship between Curated Fine Furnishings and Design and custom homebuilders. Jillian explains how her team can become involved well beyond furniture selection—from architectural selections and tile layouts to job-site coordination, furnishings, accessories, and even floral design through the recently launched Curated Fine Florals. Whether you're building a custom home, remodeling, or simply interested in how a professionally designed home comes together, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the collaboration, craftsmanship, and creativity that go into creating a truly personalized home.
