Laura and Raymond Saba were ready for a change.

In 2003, with their two sons off to college, their Shepherd Park home felt lonely. The couple had owned the Woodley Park Guest House, an 18-room inn just off Connecticut Avenue NW, since 2000. They had renovated the dilapidated former rooming house into a successful business, with Laura parlaying her marketing experience and Raymond using his 15-year background in facilities management at the World Bank.

At this empty-nest stage, many couples decide to travel more and work less, but the Sabas dreamed of starting a new business, a bed-and-breakfast, which they would live in and operate.

Insight: Plantation Shutters

By John Gresh
Ask anyone who owns plantation shutters why they chose them over blinds, shades or draperies, and you will undoubtedly get a variety of reasons. They may point out their insulating qualities, ability to control light, how easy they are to clean, durability, flexibility in matching any décor, or the fact that they simply make the room look great. It is this versatility and the “wow” factor that has made Plantation shutters the most sought-after window treatment of the past two decades.

Chesapeake Home: Perfect Fit Custom Shutters

Perfect Fit Custom Shutters is one of the oldest local manufacturers of plantation shutters. Founder John Gresh has been in the window covering business his entire life but began manufacturing shutters because he could not find a quality product. The company is family owned and operated, with an emphasis on excellent service and great prices. And because they make their shutters locally, they can offer them at lower costs.
