Transforms Guelph Home for Growing Family
Guelph-based design and build firm Otis Interiors Inc. is redefining modern family living with their innovative approach to home renovations. Founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife team Marc Esposito and Jasmine Koblik, Otis Interiors has quickly become known for their seamless integration of design and construction, offering clients a streamlined experience from start to finish. Their latest project-a complete transformation of a home for a young couple expecting their first child-showcases their signature blend of style, functionality, and family-friendly design.
The homeowners, young professionals preparing for parenthood, approached Otis Interiors with a vision of creating a space that would accommodate their growing family, including their dog, while maintaining an open and inviting atmosphere for entertaining. They wanted a bright, open-concept layout with durable finishes that could stand the test of time, and plenty of storage to meet the needs of their busy lifestyle.
Principal Design Lead Jasmine Koblik spearheaded the design process, which began with a thorough consultation. "We believe in getting to know our clients’ pain points and goals right from the start," said Koblik. "It’s all about understanding their vision and helping them bring it to life while guiding them through each decision." With a strong focus on educating clients about the build and design process, Marc and Jasmine aim to make renovations an enjoyable and empowering experience.
For this project, the couple sought a bright and airy space to counterbalance the lack of natural light on the main floor. Jasmine and her team designed a classic white kitchen, enhanced with grey quartz countertops, a marble-effect grey backsplash, and warm gold hardware accents. Light wood tones in the flooring and dining room furniture added a Scandinavian touch,
creating a cozy yet modern aesthetic. Functionality was also key-custom cabinetry solutions provided much-needed storage for the growing family.
The bathroom was another highlight of the renovation. A bold blue vanity added a splash of color, while soft grey patterned tiles kept the space feeling playful yet timeless. A reconfigured layout improved flow and natural light, making the room as functional as it is stylish.
Throughout the renovation, Otis Interiors relied on trusted brands and local vendors, including Delta Faucet, Blanco, and Living Lighting in Kitchener, with cabinetry custom-designed by Paragon Kitchens. The firm’s focus on high-quality, durable finishes ensured that the home would serve the family for years to come.
What sets Otis Interiors apart is their integrated approach. Marc and Jasmine’s leadership extends beyond design and into team development, fostering a culture of growth and learning within their company. By combining their passion for design with their dedication to client education, they’ve built a process that’s as smooth as it is collaborative. Their one-stop, full-service model-from design consultation to construction management-ensures that clients have a single point of contact throughout the renovation, eliminating stress and making decision-making easier.

Nulook A Legacy of Innovation and Community Commitment
Nulook Blinds, founded in 1980 and acquired by its current owner, Ken Bezruki, in 2006, exemplifies resilience and transformation in the window coverings industry. Originally focused solely on retail, Nulook Blinds has successfully broadened its reach to serve commercial, industrial, and healthcare markets with a diverse array of window covering solutions.
When Ken Bezruki took over Nulook Blinds, their vision was to expand the company’s focus beyond traditional retail. They aimed to create a business that not only provided high-quality window coverings for homes but also met the specialized needs of the healthcare sector. This vision materialized with the introduction of a patent-pending privacy curtain, which has become a trusted solution in numerous local hospitals and nursing homes, reflecting Nulook’s commitment to enhancing patient privacy and care.
"What sets Nulook Blinds apart is what we are not. While the business landscape evolves and many businesses fall into a culture of deception, empty promises, and poor client service, Nulook remains steadfast in its values. We see a troubling trend where some businesses operate in the shadows, avoiding taxes and engaging in practices that undermine the industry. In contrast, Nulook Blinds is committed to transparency, integrity, and genuine customer care, standing firm against the negative forces that threaten to erode the trust in local, family-run businesses. The professional sales team/install team at Nulook, is in my mind, the best in the industry, just another example how we are different from our competition” Bezruki explains to the HOMES+ team.
Nulook Blinds has demonstrated remarkable adaptability, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the retail side faced significant challenges, the strong presence in the healthcare sector enabled the company to sustain operations and support its dedicated team through the crisis.
The company underwent a significant transition when it relocated from its original Breitraupt Street location due to urban redevelopment. The move to Victoria Street Mall, influenced by high traffic, has proven to be a strategic decision. This new location has provided Nulook Blinds with greater visibility and accessibility, contributing to its ongoing success.
Community involvement is a cornerstone of Nulook Blinds’ ethos. The company proudly contributes small percentage of their profits annually to various charities and supports local youth sports teams, including baseball, soccer, and hockey. This commitment to giving back underscores Nulook’s dedication to making a positive impact beyond its business.
experience, Nulook Blinds stands out for its deep product knowledge and exceptional service. The family-like team and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction and community support continue to set Nulook Blinds apart in the window coverings industry, upholding a high standard of excellence and care.

Deep-Fried Turkey
A Step-by-Step Guide for a Perfect Thanksgiving
Deep-frying a turkey for Thanksgiving is a thrilling way to cook this festive bird and yields a crispy, flavourful result that many people prefer over roasting. The process begins with a brine by combining brown sugar, mustard, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Brining the turkey for 35 hours ensures it’s juicy and well-seasoned.
You can use various equipment for frying: a stockpot, an electric fryer, or a pot-and-propane setup. The best deep fryers come with a thermostat and a metal basket, which makes handling the turkey safer and easier.
Safety is crucial-always fry outdoors to avoid fire hazards, and never leave the hot oil unattended. With careful preparation and attention, deep-frying can transform your Thanksgiving turkey into a spectacular centrepiece and become a new family holiday tradition.
Ingredients
3 cups packed light brown sugar (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 1/2 cups Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 gallons cold water
1 bunch of thyme
1 head of garlic, separated into cloves and crushed
1 (12-pound) turkey
2 1/2 gallons vegetable oil
Directions
In a large stockpot, whisk the brown sugar with the mustard, salt, and cayenne. Gradually whisk in the water, then add the thyme and garlic. Add the turkey, cover, and brine in the refrigerator for 35 hours.
In a turkey fryer or an 18-quart or larger stockpot, bring the oil to 400°F; this can take up to an hour. Remove the turkey from the brine and pat it dry inside and out with paper towels. Transfer the turkey to a frying basket, breast side up.
Lower the turkey into the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes per pound, 36 minutes. Lift the basket out of the fryer and drain the turkey on a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet for 15 minutes. Carve and serve.

The June Motel is a trendy and stylish boutique hotel chain that’s gained quite a bit of attention for its laid-back vibe and Instagram-worthy aesthetics.
The original The June Motel opened in 2017 in Sauble Beach, Ontario, and it quickly became popular for its retro-chic decor, vibrant colours, and focus on creating a relaxed, enjoyable stay for guests. The founders, April Brown and Sarah Sklash, aimed to offer a unique experience that combined comfort with a touch of nostalgia and modern flair.

Step outside to the Riverside Patio, where nightly gatherings around the campfire, beneath trees and twinkle lights, offer river views, sunsets, and complimentary s'mores. Finally, unwind in the Sauna, alternating between its warmth and a refreshing cold plunge in the river for ultimate relaxation.

“As a seasoned realtor specializing in chalet properties, I’ve seen firsthand what makes these cozy retreats so appealing to ski families. The proximity to the slopes is undoubtedly a top priority, ensuring easy access to the slopes and ski lodge. However, it’s the interior features that truly set these chalets apart. Spacious rooms, inviting décor, cozy fireplaces and a dedicated basement or extra living area provide the perfect space for families to relax, entertain, and create lasting memories.”
