Tips for Bathroom Renovations








                                              1. Built in Accessories: built-ins such as recessed soap dishes, medicine cabinets and even toilet roll holders can save space and streamline the look of the bathroom.


                                              2. Colour: To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose white-to-cream colour spectrum.


                                              3. Fixtures and Colour: Use white or cream coloured fixtures (i.e. toilet and bathtub)


                                              4. Dim Lighting for Mood: A dimmer switch can add mood to your bathroom


                                              5. Lighting: Enhance overhead lighting by adding Sconces around the mirror.


                                              6. Extra Pieces: If space permits, many home decorators recommend having one freestanding piece such as a decorative chair or cupboard as a design element. This "decorative" piece can serve a practical use as a place to store towels, soaps, or other small items.


                                              7. Hooks: Hooks are the easiest way to add "surface area" to a bathroom without actually adding real countertop surface area. Hooks can be used for everything from clothes to bathrobes to towels.


                                              8. Mirrors: Mirrors in bathrooms (not just above the sink) are a design element which expand the room visually and add light to the room.


                                              9. Accessorize: Candles, colour coordinated towels and bath mat, a new shower curtain and towel holders and faucets can transform a bathroom makeover.


                                              10. Declutter: Remove clutter from counters. Store in wicker baskets or install a shelf above the toilet.

                                              7 Ways to Make Your Home Cozier This Winter Without Spending

                                              As the temperatures continue to drop, we'll all be spending more time indoors. There are countless ways to make your home feel cozier for the winter if you have extra money to spend, but if you're being mindful of your finances after the holidays, here are some ideas to help you do it without spending. Bring Out the Blankets As the temperatures drop, it’s time to bring out all of those extra throw blankets and quilts you have lying around in storage. Drape blankets over your couches, chairs, beds, and ottomans; fill a blanket ladder and display it in the corner of a room; or fold extra blankets and place them in the corner. Sticking to warm textures such as wool where possible will help to make the space feel cozy. Light Candles Lighting some candles around your home is one of the easiest ways to make your space feel cozy, and who doesn’t have a stash of candles sitting around somewhere in their home? Not only will the flickering light add a sense of warmth and charm, but your ...

                                              Bathroom Upgrade Options

                                              Whether you're looking for easy, affordable changes or a major renovation, there are many ways to enhance a bathroom environment. Beyond the basics like decorative colour-coordinated accessories to match curtains, mats and towels, enhanced upgrades like a spa-inspired showerhead and a touchless faucet will add personal comfort and convenience. Depending on your budget, a total makeover might include new tiling. If so, consider a few hand-painted accent tiles to make your bathroom truly unique. More spacious projects might include the addition of a two-sink vanity or a soaker tub.  Bidets are also becoming more popular as they become more affordable. If you don't have the room to add a luxurious stand-alone bidet, some newer toiles are dual purposed, while others can be accessorized with an add-on set attachment for a comparable hygienic experience. No matter what your bathroom makeover budget may be, you can achieve a fresh transformation simply by making a creative paint selec...

                                              Apps That Make Selling & Moving Easier

                                              You've probably heard the expression, "There's an app for that!" There does seem to be an app for every conceivable task, and real estate is no exception. If you're thinking of selling and moving this year, here is a list of app types to look for:  Maps - Google Maps is the most popular, but there are others. Mapping apps with satellite views are handy for checking out neighbourhoods.  Calendar - You probably use an online calendar. But, when you're moving, it makes sense to have a separate "moving calendar". There are many free calendar apps available.  Project management - There are some easy-to-use apps that help you stay organized during projects, such as getting your home ready for sale.  Mortgage calculator - Most bank websites feature online tools where you can test out scenarios and see how much you would pay each month.  Moving costs -  Most major moving companies, and a few home improvement centres, feature a moving cost calculator on t...
