#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.
