GAMBIT 2006
.................Once New Orleans residents were allowed to return to the city, Monica and Jeno gave themselves 24 hours to find and buy a house. The seventh house they toured, a 100-year-old residence one block from Audubon Park, was the charm. "We walked through the house, and in 10 minutes we said 'this will work,'" recalls Monica, noting that the house had to have enough space for both her and Jeno to have home offices, since their Bywater facility was not operational. To get the house more to their liking, the Kalozdis immediately hired Lars Jensen of Jensen Builders, the same contractor who had renovated and enlarged their previous home just two years earlier. Jensen added crown moldings throughout the house, replaced the kitchen's butcher-block counters with polished granite, added new plumbing fixtures and completely renovated the outdated bathrooms.

New Orleans Homes 2008
..................The Bellaire home they had purchased eight months before the storm did not flood, even though their neighbors’ homes just blocks away fell prey to Katrina’s fury. Without significant damage, the Hurleys had the upper hand when it came to their kitchen renovation. A decorator by profession, Trudy began by contacting Lars Jensen of Jensen Builders Inc. With Lars overseeing the renovation and Trudy overseeing the décor, the 500-square-foot custom kitchen was destined to be a showstopper from the get-go. Among the many fine details evoking European elegance are the French terra cotta floors and the Kirkstone countertops purchased through Stafford Tile & Stone. Worner Hardware Inc. supplied the Bouvet cabinet hardware
