Celebrating 20 Years of The John Mentis Experience

Luxury kitchen and bath fixtures brand GRAFF has debuted their newest kitchen collections and we’d love for you to keep them in mind for any new product roundups or kitchen stories you may have in the pipeline at District Home Magazine.

Featuring a sleek silhouette, the Futurismo collection blends high performance and streamlined aesthetics into its futurist inspired design. On the same note, the Segovia collection’s timeless arc projects strength, style and elegance into any kitchen. Bringing in the edginess inspired by the design of the classic American motorcycles, the Harley collection’s details embody an agile, energetic spirit with elegance and gusto. The Chef’s Pro Edition and the Cosmopolitan Edition are two new sprayhead designs for GRAFF’s luxury kitchen collections each with its own distinctive qualities that offer a sleek, captivating design, with a couture sensibility.

Each collection features innovative designs and cutting-edge technology that will revolutionize the future of kitchen fixtures. Please find a Dropbox linked here for more information about each. Additionally, on top of these completely new debuts, you’ll find a folder in the dropbox of newly expanded GRAFF kitchen collections as well.

Now, I get it

John Mentis

John Mentis, a Realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate in Arlington, Va., celebrates 20 years in real estate this year. He shares his thoughts on the changes he's seen and how he's changed, helping him close more than 525 deals, having 90% of his annual business from repeat clients and referrals, and being the top overall agent in his office for the past three years in-a-row.

started in this business like many: leaving a job that had run its course. I wanted something where reward was commensurate with effort, I could set my own schedule, and where there would be a constant demand for my services. Real estate has turned out to be a great fit, but not without a lot of hard work, introspection, and dealing with constant change.

EFFORT: Work more, make more?

Reward often flows from effort in this business: generally, the more you work, the more you make. The market has definitely become more competitive over the years with more brokerages, more agents, and higher cli-

ent expectations. Therefore, commissions have fallen, clients expect me to spend more on things like advertising and staging than when I first started, and there are more things to spend upon, e.g., on-line advertising, videography. Likewise, the amount of effort I put into the job today is greater and more intense than when I started. Today’s consumers have more real estate information. The advent of the Internet allows consumers to see plenty of homes and to some degree understand how to buy or sell a home. You’d think that would make my job easier, but it hasn’t.

First, I have to prove my value to the consumer at an even higher level since many feel they stand a good chance of successfully selling or buying on their own. Second, I have to spend a good amount of time correcting consumers’ mis-understandings since sometimes their conclusions are just wrong. Learning more and explaining more has made me a better agent.

SCHEDULE: We can’t make more time.

Control over my schedule is so important. I have been able to integrate my professional and personal life as I had hoped, but twenty years ago, there weren’t as many ways to stay in touch so client expectations were lower. Back then it was mostly phone, e-mails, and in-person appointments in that order. Today, it’s mostly text, e-mail, in-person appointments, and phone calls dead last -- which really surprises me. I’ve learned that many consumers (and agents) don’t pick up their phones, and don’t listen to voice mails let alone return them. Clients routinely except quick if not immediate responses. This translates into things like stopping grocery shopping to send a text, e-mailing at midnight when I should be getting sleep, and calling people when I’m driving thanks to hands-free technology. I am still setting my own schedule, but as I have taken on more clients, maybe they have more influence on my schedule than I do.

DEMAND: Everyone needs somewhere to live.

The need for housing is constant, but the level of demand and supply varies year-by-year; the past few years are extreme examples. Additionally, our market has its own unique dynamics thanks to the impact of national elections, continuous job growth, and limited transportation. I can’t change these macro factors, but I understand how they play out in the market, how they affect sellers and buyers. Like any small business, the trick is to deliver a great product/service in any market so that customers keep coming back. My clients and other agents feel strongly enough about my services that over 90% of my annual business is from their repeat business and referrals.

When I started, I thought my best skill was knowing the contract and being quick and efficient in my work. Those skills continue to serve me well, but what I have learned is that my greatest skill is counseling. I’ve learned I’m really good at listening -- both to what people say and don’t say – and then I talk them through what I’ve seen and heard which helps the client solidify their goals. That then lets me design an effective strategy for them. This kind of “real estate therapy” has proven effective again and again; clients love it and tell me this is one of the best things about working with me. I never knew I had this skill.

CHANGE: The only thing constant is change.

If you’re not good with change, you’ll never survive in this business. Everything is changing all the time: the markets, the contract, the tools, and people’s expectations. I’ve ridden out the booms, busts, and average markets. Human nature is the thing that has stayed the same. People want to work with someone who listens to them, who is knowledgeable, and knows how to get things done. My years in this business with strong and weak markets, good and bad clients, crazy and textbook transactions, coupled with great support from Long & Foster has given me financial success and professional recognition. Most importantly, after 20 years I now understand why I really stay in this business: I love seeing people shift from self-doubt to empowerment. When I see that I’ve helped people achieve a goal they didn’t think they could, I am incredibly happy, humbled, and motivated to do it all over again. Now, I get it.

AUTHENTICITY: Be who you are.

Twenty years ago, “authenticity” wasn’t a word used in real estate. Agents were certainly looking for ways to differentiate themselves, but that was usually done by showing knowledge about the local market, the contracting process, how to market homes, etc. Our society now puts a greater emphasis on the idea of being authentic, of people being who they are. I’ve had to do a certain amount of introspection and observation to understand who I am as a person and how that comes through to advantage in my being the right real estate agent for so many people.

New sustainable eco-cellulose and peace silk lampshades collection

August 2023, London/UK: In response to a growing demand in unique and sustainable interior items, Claudie’s new lampshade collection offers an artisanal approach utilizing a circular design process and a no waste policy. Antonia Claudie, the UK based sustainable luxury lifestyle brand has recently added to their already growing interior collection by introducing a unique range of sustainable peace silk and eco cellulose lampshades: “During a recent photoshoot of our wall art collection, two lampshades were created to add to the lifestyle mood and feel of the set, but the interest for those was such, that we decided to launch and bring to market a full range in various shapes and sizes.” – Frederic Arbaud, Director at Antonia Claudie

Planned to be released in mid-September, they are created with the same attention to detail as all products made by Antonia Claudie. The finished article is exquisite, carefully hand-crafted utilizing 100% organic peace silk and natural dyes derived from food waste such as used coffee ground and avocado pits. The print is created with an ecofriendly printing technique using natural rust from iron combined with plant dye extract resulting in a natural chemical reaction that appears on the silk as abstract and unique patterns. Zero chemicals are used during the process which reinforce an innovative approach to handmade and individual designs. With organic peace silk, a non-pesticide and “cruelty free” natural silk, not a single lampshade will be created the same.

Offered in a small, medium, and large, and two different shapes (tapered and straight) they are designed to be a perfect fit for any room décor. Offering a sustainable product with the combination of organic peace silk and eco cellulose backing, the aim is to give a timeless yet eco conscious and luxurious feel to any

“I am delighted to have created a fully sustainable lampshade collection that I haven’t yet seen on the market. The marriage of the eco-cellulose and the naturally dyed peace silk is the right addition to our growing range of unique and organic products.” Antonia Claudie, Founder and Creative Director

enviroment.

Antonia Claudie brings an exciting new endeavor to consumers as she teams up with Martin Huxford to bring a limited-edition capsule collection to market. This partnership brings a unique approach to hand-crafted artisanal designs with incredible results.

Antonia Claudie’s journey started when in late 2020 during lockdown she discovered the technique herself and aspired to build a conceptual brand around it. Antonia has been featured in Elle UK Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Textile View Magazine, Talking Textiles, Netflix, and more. Antonia prides herself on the environmental values that the brand can achieve and is excited to share her creations with a wider, eco conscious demographic.

Claudie and Huxford share the same values and convert this concept into a tangible and carefully crafted collection with lamps presented at Chelsea harbour Design Centre in London in October.

B&B Italia Between new openings and historical location renovations, the Group strengthopens five ens its presence in the US market by new flagships in Washington DC, new stores opening Miami, two in New York City and Boston in North America

Milan, 31 October 2023 – B&B Italia, an internationally renowned Italian group in the high-end design furniture sector, announces its ambitious expansion plan with new openings in North America. Starting this autumn, the Italian group, which includes B&B Italia, Maxalto, Azucena and Arclinea brands, will open five stores in major cities in the USA - Washington DC, Miami, New York City and Boston - to strengthen its presence in an important market. On October 31st, in Washington DC, B&B Italia opened a new location in the central and prestigious Georgetown district, which doubles the exhibition area to more than 1200 square meters on three levels. This showcases a renovation process that will allow the expansion of the B&B Italia, Maxalto, Azucena and Arclinea in-store range. The space provides a more complete visiting and purchasing experience tailored to different customer needs. For the first time, the Maxalto brand will have a dedicated entrance on the ground floor in Cady’s Alley, which provides visitors with an immersive experience with the collection’s “modern classic” lifestyle interiors.

During Art Basel in December, the Group will open the new B&B Italia Design Studio in Miami, a space of more than 1500 square meters located in the heart of the Design District. This will be the first Flagship Store on the US East Coast to include the Flos and Louis Poulsen lighting brands, which are part of Design Holding. It is a comprehensive, brand-new retail and design format, a meeting place for professionals, customers and enthusiasts to see first-hand the best of Italian and Scandinavian design. The plan continues with New York City, where in September the Group reopened its historic store on 58th Street, which was renovated and expanded to give more space to Maxalto, the iconic high-end furniture brand. The Group has strongly invested in Maxalto during 2023, wanting to tell its history and show its modern classic collections.

In the Big Apple, the Group recently opened a new Maxalto showroom overlooking 31st Street. A space of more than 225 square meters, Maxalto will enhance the sophisticated and timeless elegance of the collection designed and coordinated by Antonio Citterio, Artistic Director since 1995. In 2024 B&B Italia will complete the expansion of the store facing Madison Avenue in New York City: the Madison 135 renovated space will include the B&B Italia Group products, and items produced by the Design Holding brands, of which B&B Italia is part. The store is a sophisticated space of more than 1800 square meters, and will enhance the complementary and refined branded designer products in a constant dialogue between present and future, tradition and innovation.

Interior Expert Shares Tips on Incorporating Pantone's Colour of the Year 2024,

'Peach Fuzz,' in Your Home Pantone's annual Colour of the Year has been announced, setting the stage for design trends across interiors and beyond. In 2024, 'Peach Fuzz' takes the spotlight, bringing with it a delightful blend of warmth and sophistication. If you're considering adding this inviting hue to your home, then James Mellan-Matulewicz, interiors expert at design brand Bobbi Beck, shares his expert tips on creating a stylish and harmonious living space.

James’ Top Tips •

•

Start with Accents: Ease into the ‘Peach Fuzz’ trend by introducing smaller elements such as throw pillows, cushions, or decorative vases. These accents can infuse a pop of colour without overwhelming the entire room. Feature Walls: Make a bold statement by painting or wallpapering one wall in ‘Peach Fuzz.’ This focal point allows you to embrace the trend without committing to a complete room overhaul. Pair it with complementary neutral shades for balance. Statement Furniture: For those daring enough to make a significant change, invest in a statement furniture piece in ‘Peach Fuzz.’ This could be a sofa, armchair, or coffee table. Surround it with neutral tones to showcase its vibrancy. Mix and Match: Explore different colour combinations to find what suits your taste. ‘Peach Fuzz’ pairs well with muted greens, soft blues, and earthy tones. Play with combinations for a unique and personalised look. Natural Elements: Connect with nature by incorporating natural materials. Wooden furniture, rattan accents, or greenery can complement ‘Peach Fuzz’ and create a harmonious and calming atmosphere. Soft Furnishings: Introduce the colour through soft furnishings like curtains, rugs, and bed linens. These elements can be easily swapped out if you decide to refresh the colour scheme later on. Artwork and Decor: Seek out artwork or decorative pieces that feature ‘Peach Fuzz.’ This ties the colour into the room’s theme while adding an artistic touch.
