Contemporary Style

Despite the fact that the main meaning of the word contemporary is modern, when talking about an interior design style the meaning is closer to timeless. This is a style that can safely absorb the elements of classic, modern, romantic, ethnic or any other style. Having said that note that the decor itself will not be a mix of styles or eclectic, it will stay contemporary.

Contemporary style is ideal for everyone who wants to live in a functional and practical interior but is not an admirer of laconic and cold high-tech or any other trendy style. Simple enough to create a cozy, comfortable and easily upgradable décor, contemporary style is suitable for residential premises and offices, large homes and small apartments. It is truly universal!

THE MAIN FEATURES OF CONTEMPORARY STYLE — — are clean lines and functionality, simple and elegant shapes, a harmonious arrange-

ment of objects and the absence of an “artistic disorder”. The room should be spacious and light.

Each room has a definite function; a large room is always zoned. Most of the ornamental items have to be functional although, of course, souvenirs, paintings and art objects are acceptable and even desirable as long as they do not clutter the space.

The colour scheme comprises calm and light primary tones, furniture in all shades of brown or black with one or more bold strokes. Cream, beige, gray and brown are perfect for the walls and the floor while some pieces of furniture or other accents, such as cushions on the couch or paintings on the wall can be flashier.

FURNITURE Furniture for a Contemporary décor includes built-in closets, sofa beds, folding and built-in desks, bookcases. Upholstered furniture can be covered in solid or subtle print fabric, leather or imitation leather.

Sofas, tables, chairs with long legs are acceptable. Complex shapes and decorations are not typical for this style. The main condition is high quality, functionality and simplicity.

Furniture for a Contemporary style place does not necessarily have to be expensive and made of wood; you can choose chipboard, laminate, or plastic decorated with painted elements, a combination of glossy and matte surfaces in one product, glass or metal. Windows are most often bare or covered with light sheers and blinds. Floors are usually laminate, tiles and linoleum.

Throw rugs can be used if they are solid or have a geometric pattern, an interesting texture and a low nap.

The rest of the décor decisions should be guided by your preferences and taste. You can complement the design with objects in a variety of styles — photographs in romantic frames, pop art style posters, vases reminiscent of Greek amphorae, textiles with ethnic patterns - in short, anything that pleases you.

An interesting feature of the Contemporary style is that without souvenirs and elements of other styles it looks pretty impersonal, but this, oddly enough, is an advantage, not a drawback: all these trinkets, framed photos, favourite things that in other styles may be lost or unfitting will be appropriate here; they will please the eye and make the room cozy, unique and inimitable.

Symphony in Brass Humans have been using supple and beautiful copper both inside and outside their dwellings for thousands of years. From kitchen utensils to roofing materials, for stock in arts to furniture fittings, light fixtures and jewellery – in short, anything made of copper will not lose its relevance after a hundred years of use regardless of ever-changing fashion trends.

Copper has antibacterial properties, which means that its use is completely justified in places where resisting germs and bacteria is paramount. Among such places are countertops and sinks, door handles, utensils - all the items that come in direct contact with food and human hand.

But this is hardly the quality that attracts designers who select copper from among the widest range of natural, synthetic and composite materials to implement their concepts. The warm, polished or matte copper surface of tables and chairs, the interior and exterior of lighting fixtures and bathtubs of various shapes looks appropriate and sophisticated in any interior style and any function room – even in the

ALL ABOUT HOME

bedroom where you want to surround yourself with exceptionally soothing and soft textures.

LAMPS BY TOM DIXON The smart and self-contained look of copper products just begs to be included in the decor with walls painted solid or wallpapered in a restrained two-colour design.

The pendant lamp is a substantial and everlasting item that matches rich textures, leather and dark wood, glossy ceramic tiles in a deep shade, and a carpet with generous pile. Lamps created by designer Tom Dixon have an elegant and sleek silhouette that wouldn’t allow copper to lose its dignity and turn the décor into a farce but maintains the level of a confident good taste of the owners.

TEARDROP ARMCHAIR BY ARNE JACOBSEN AND FINGERPRINT CHAIR BY SHARON CIDES This work of art - a classic teardrop armchair

by Arne Jacobsen - like all true masterpieces has a stunning property. It looks both modern and timeless like an antique piece and trendy design object. This perfect chair with brass legs will look great in any office or den. Young Israeli designer Sharon Cides and his chair collection Stamps («fingerprints”) perfectly illustrates the phenomenon of modern design and its eternal search for the new sound of the whole ensemble - materials, form and function of the object. Acid-treated fingerprints and texture of the wood cut have been turned into an almost ascetic chair/ armchair.

PARADISE TABLE BY BOCA DO LOBO Coffee table Eden consists of mahogany, brass and copper polished and assembled in such a way as to fully conform to the product name. It reveals the diversity of copper in all its glory; it can be a utilitarian tool of trade or an ornament worthy of a royal palace - this metal comports itself with dignity anywhere, adapting to the setting.

BASEMENT INCOME PROPERTY Finishing and renting out your basement can make quite a lot of dollars and sense!

www.NOSTCO.com

Nearly all homes in Canada have a basement. The average rental rate for a one or two bedroom finished basement apartment in the G.T.A. is from $800 to $1,300 a month.

A basement apartment in one of the trendier parts of town with executive level finishes could rent for anywhere between $2,000 and $2,500 a month. If you are considering becoming a landlord, read on.

Check zoning regulations with the building department of your municipality. There may be zoning restrictions that do not allow for accessory dwelling units. A petition can be made for a minor variance.

Once the zoning is cleared, proceed to the next step.

An accessory apartment can be a great source of monthly income for the average

homeowner, especially if you don’t currently use your basement for much and live in an area where population density and competition between apartment buildings tilt in your favour.

If you are looking for a long term investment, I recommend the following steps:

Design the space. You will typically want to work with a professional designer, preferably one who can also produce the official set of construction drawings that the building department will require for approval.

Submit all applications to the building department. Once the permit is issued, construction can begin.

Hire a contractor to handle the construction project. For a list of qualified contractors, please visit www.Renomark.ca.

Once done “right the first time”, a legal basement apartment can become a great source of augmented income for some home owners. And that is a good thing!

Bay Windows coming through it will certainly lift yours and their spirit.

Seating Zone. The most common use for the bay window is to have a seating zone there, completely separate, piled with cushions so that you can relax and find a haven from activities taking place elsewhere in your home or quite the opposite – to make it an integral part of the room.

Five-o-clock. Since any bay window allows you to create a completely separate theme space, it is possible to organize a dining area in a style different from the rest of the house. Try to equip it with wicker furniture and enjoy a feeling of having your afternoon tea on the deck of a country cottage . If the bay window is located in the kitchen it is only natural to put a table and chairs there.

A bay window serves to embellish the frontage of the building while extending the living space and increasing interior lighting. There are wide choices as to how to dispose of the extra space.

Reading Time. Although we mentioned reading in the hobby paragraph above this pastime is worthy of special attention.

It is in the bay window that a comfortable armchair combined with well-chosen accessories like a lamp, a coffee table and a small bookcase look particularly relevant.

Such zoning offers both privacy and the ability to quickly respond to the call of a member of your household.

Storage System. A small sofa in the bay window is an excellent idea but an ottoman and a chest of drawers or individual shelves and boxes with necessary things are even better! This is a good place to store crafts and children’s toys.

Ideal Curtains. If you have enough space in the house you may prefer using the bay window for its intended purpose – as a window. For this, hang curtains with a drawstring to open the view or to close it off completely depending on the weather and your mood. You can employ an intricate combination of flowing floor length sheers with functional Roman blinds, a set made of tulle sheers, drapes and swags or stylish wooden blinds.

Garden. A bay window means the abundance of light and warmth, so the first thing that comes to mind is to create a winter garden in it. Warmth loving plants that tolerate direct sunlight will decorate the room and add jazziness. A modest set of cacti or a tropical riot of colours will make up for a dismal view from the window while you will have something pleasant to do in the evenings, caring for your plants and admiring them.

Hobby Area. If you have a favourite activity the bay window can be organized as a hobby zone where you can sew, knit, read or play music. From now on, this place will be yours and yours alone.

Nursery. Children need their own space in a home. The bay window as part of the room is easily observable throughout and its unusual shape - rectangular or polygonal - diversifies the playing area for the kids. Besides, the profusion of sunlight

Eternal Household What is creativity? Before we answer by saying that it is a process of creating something unique, you will probably think of music, literature and fine arts.

But if you go on YouTube and watch a few episodes on «permaculture» you will find out something you have never thought before – that people are primary creators of their land. Growing a garden, starting a tiny urban farm or turning the desert into a living oasis – all this creativity can transform the world and prevent ecological disasters.

In Toronto, a team of architects designed a house that does not depend on centralized water and sewage; they manage to keep this system running only for a few hundred dollars per year.

conventional farming that does not drain natural resources.

Permaculture is practiced in the tropical forests of South America, in the Kalahari desert, in the subarctic Scandinavian climate and in communities across North America.

In New Mexico permaculture farmers have turned a rammed polluted wasteland into a garden without the use of heavy machinery.

In California Jula Derbe’s family created a permaculture farm in their backyard. It provided them with food and also became a source of income from selling organically grown vegetables.

There are also many permaculture followers among those who are settling their Ancestor Manors. And it is not surprising. After all, creating a harmonious and economical living space is part of the philosophy behind Ancestor Manors.

Permaculture allows creating a new relationship with nature, when each fraction of labor invested is returned hundredfold, giving strength and inspiration to become a creator of your own land and to be free.

Colwis Group invites to collaboration those who are interested in the idea of Ancestor Manors and are not indifferent to the environment.

What is permaculture and why does it have so many followers around the world?

Permaculture (permanent + agriculture) is a design philosophy that combines landscaping, architecture, gardening, ecology and marketing and is aimed at establishing a self-sustaining system that provides for itself and digests its own waste.

At the heart of permaculture are following principles: the sustainable use of natural resources, avoiding the use of agrochemicals and fertilizers except for organic compost, poly-culture farming, creating symbiotic relationship among various plants and raising animals in conditions that are very close to natural.

Austrian farmer Sepp Holzer is considered to be a founder of permaculture practice.

His estate Krameterhof is a vivid example of permaculture in action. Japanese farmer Masanobu Fukuoka founded and still practices very similar agriculture methods.

Australian farmers Bill Mollison and David Holmgren continue developing the concept of permaculture as an alternative to

MAXIM BAGINSKIY REAL ESTATE BROKER INVESTMENT ADVISOR

416.832.8343 My clients often ask me how I manage to obtain from developers much more favourable prices and sales conditions than the developers themselves offer to buyers. Allow me to reply to this question before offering you a new project.

In Toronto, there exists a VIP club of condo apartment sales; this club has brought together a limited number of brokers from different real estate agencies. There are several factors inherent to the members of this club – these factors are an excellent reputation, professionalism, and experience translated into a large number of transactions with condo apartments in recent years. The club management carefully selects candidates for membership of the club. Those honoured with

the club membership reap huge benefits for their clients in most projects in Toronto as they are the brokers whom many developers entrust with the right of primary sale.

sold out in a matter of days is probably the best proof that the project is really interesting and there is no doubt that the same success awaits the second – and final – phase.

I, for once, have achieved the honour of the club membership only this year despite my 15-plusyears’ experience in real estate sales. Besides, currently I am a sole Russian-speaking member of the club team. Developers are interested in selling 60 to 70% of their units in the shortest possible time in order to obtain the amount necessary to start construction. The rest of the apartments the developer sells slowly and at a different price. Therefore, the majority of projects entering the market are sold in the following order: VIP sales (usually 1 day), then Broker Sales (known among buyers as Platinum Sale and offered as a rule for one week but may go longer, up to one month); and only then free selling starts when anyone can bypass the help of a realtor but just show up in the presentation centre of the project and purchase a unit. This order is what lets the developer sell the greatest number of units in the shortest period of time. Also note that on the VIP stage brokers are allowed to sell any of the units in the project; at the next, Platinum Sale stage, apartments have already been distributed and as a rule each agent is allotted certain units. Besides, from one stage to the next the prices increase and the terms of sale worsen.

The most interesting projects often get sold out before even reaching the free sales stage.

What makes this project so interesting? Well, first of all, its location – in less than a ten-minute walk to the heart of the downtown business district with the highest concentration of businesses. At the same time it is one of the downtown historical sites filled with many cozy restaurants, each of which has a historical past, and other attractions.

It is also walking distance from St. Lawrence Market and Distillery District and close to St. James Park and a new, still under construction West Donlands/Don River Park. It is just a ten-minute walk from Sugar Beach.

Now let me go on to the subject of the project for which VIP sale will be held on September 27. The project by one of the largest developer companies in the GTA – Greenpark – is called AXIOM 2; it follows a successful sale of the first tower of this project in the spring of 2014. AXIOM has been named by the media one of the best projects of 2014. The fact that the first tower was completely

In recent years, the area has experienced significant changes: there are several ambitious condo projects under construction, the infrastructure is undergoing improvements, and the planned light rail line will connect the centre of downtown with a completely new neighborhood located in the eastern part of downtown and called Canary District (where the Pan-American Games of 2015 are going to be held). The AXIOM will perfectly fit into the concept of the neighborhood that promises to become within the upcoming couple of years one of the choicest areas of downtown, which will clearly move it into a higher price category.

This project is a sure proposition not only from the point of view of purchasing into it for your own use but for investment purposes as well.

Most of my clients are investors buying condo projects under construction for a quick resale on completion or for subsequent leasing. Unfortunately there is not enough space in this article to cite all the mathematics of the project but I can definitely promise one thing - that during construction (2.5 years) the money you have invested (ROI) will bring about 50 to 70% annually and, upon completion, renting out will make you about 40% a year. These indicators are at the level of the best projects of recent years. Next week I will invite all those wishing to purchase an apartment in this project to my office for a meeting where I will answer all the questions and explain in detail the mathematical component of investing in this project.

All the information about the project, including prices, apartment layouts and conditions of VIP sale can be found on my website WWW.REMLIS.CA by clicking on the link «View new construction by name» and selecting the project AXIOM 2. For your convenience, the site is bilingual - in Russian and English. You can also call me and I will try to answer all your questions.

Interior decor is highly individual.

We all have our own tastes and preferences. There is a variety of styles and techniques that are great when used in one situation but totally unacceptable in another. However, there are things that should be avoided at all times.

INTERIOR DESIGN ERRORS

MIXING STYLES In today’s world, people have been increasingly turning to eclecticism. However, it is better to mix styles that are close to one another in their principles. Everything in moderation should be your motto in this case. You may like two objects that look interesting and self-sufficient but their illconsidered use can spoil everything. When mixing it is necessary to consider the colour scale or patterns. If you are equally in love with decorative covering material imitating crocodile skin, a Louis XIV chest of drawers, and a huge velvet and sequins sofa for your home theater, choose two or three (or, in some cases, one is sufficient) that is particularly dear to your heart and subject the rest of the décor elements to these leaders.

walls and cabinets, it may make you feel like you are living in a mirror maze.

TOO MUCH/TOO LITTLE CONTRAST Contrasts make the décor more interesting and cozy. You can use the play of contrast with colours, materials and textures. On the other hand, excessive contrasting details may ruin the whole composition, make you feel tired and become all in all too busy. Another extreme is when all the furniture, finishes and textiles are selected in the same tone. Then the interior becomes boring and monotonous.

CLUTTERING THE SPACE

TOO MANY MIRRORS A judicious use of this décor element can help visually expand the room and make it cozier. Yet used everywhere - in niches, on

ALL ABOUT HOME

A skillful use of every square meter creates space for everything. This does not necessarily mean placing racks, cabinets and other furniture everywhere. Learn to store things used infrequently. Some people feel that the room is empty if there is no chair or table in every corner. If you are one of them you risk turning your apartment into a cluttered warehouse.

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

COMBINING OLD AND NEW Trying to fit every of your old things into a new space at all costs is yet another common error.

Make exception for items that are dear to your heart because of their sentimental value as well as antiques. If an object is not obsolete but does not fit the new décor, don’t hesitate to sell, donate, or dump it.

Yet remember that sometimes it is worth it to alter an old item even though it usually costs more than buying a new one.

phlegmatic temperament. They are fully reflected in her or his preferences in decorating rooms where the phlegmatic feels especially comfortable. They love reliable things that are not subject to fashion trends. It is natural that half of the furniture in his home has been inherited by the phlegmatic from his parents or even grandparents.

However, the second half — of as good quality and as reliable — he bought himself and intends to pass it on to his descendants in perfect condition. Do not be surprised if you find in the phlegmatic person’s home several priceless antique knick-knacks; many people of this emotional group are passionate collectors and connoisseurs of antiquity.

TEMPERAMENTAL DÉCOR

Where Life is Leisurely and Old-Fashioned Categorizing people by their temperament goes back to Hippocrates. According to his theory a person can be choleric (or bilious), sanguine, phlegmatic (or lymphatic) or melancholic (or atrabilious). Each of these categories sees their world in a different way and has his own understanding of beauty.

No wonder that such different people require completely different surroundings in order to feel comfortable. Décor is a reflec-

tion of the person who lives among it and, to some extent, the means of balancing our weaknesses. For this reason, psychologists as well as interior designers recommend that when planning decorating for a place one takes the psychological type of the owner into consideration.

Phlegmatics are focused and balanced.

They are hard to ruffle or surprise. The phlegmatic temperament is notable for its orderliness and serenity. This person will never demonstrate explosive emotions, bizarre fantasies or refined sensitivity. She is always guided by common sense and takes right and undisputed decisions. Stability and calm are the two main values of the

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

Phlegmatics usually prefer classic style.

In furniture they appreciate not only its beauty and comfort but also its design features, pure materials, durability and strength of the mechanical parts. Every purchase of theirs is a sure match of its quality to the price paid. The whole interior of the home looks solid and respectable and stays unaltered for decades. The phlegmatic person’s home is relatively cozy, mainly due to the warm muted colors and the abundance of natural materials - ceramics, wood, and natural stone.

Their main decorative elements are as a rule paintings, books, porcelain and sculpture and each of these items has its own history and artistic value. Fixtures are typically characterized by traditional and even somewhat old-fashioned shapes and emit soft light. The floor is wooden and decorated with woolen rugs. In short, everything in the house is noble, comfortable and practical. And, of course, for a phlegmatic person order is of great importance; therefore, they will not live happily without a dressing room, closets and cabinets, pantries and wardrobes that help maintain an orderly life.

Home Sauna

A desire to have a steam bath or warm up in a sauna in the privacy of your own home is more feasible than you may think. Smaller home saunas take from 1 m² of space and reach in height just over 2 m.

You can look into a roomier version if there is enough space.

Sauna – What Is It? A sauna is a wooden cabin that perfectly maintains microclimate inside itself - in this case, it retains heat and steam. Two sides of a wooden frame are traditionally paneled with clapboard, even though current models often come with outer walls made of acrylic or pressed wood. The frame is filled with glass fibre, cork, mineral wool or other insulation. The heating device in a residential sauna is an electric stove containing special stones - volcanic peridotite, gabbro-diabase, etc. A reliable door ensures good thermal insulation. Wooden doors are airtight thanks to their three-faceted edges while in the case of glass doors the desired effect is achieved through silicone rubber.

Into the Heart The expression “the heart of the sauna” means its heating stove that raises the temperature of the air inside. Of course, the larger the room, the more powerful stove you need. In a residential sauna one can use electric heaters of up to 4.5 kW. Remember that only single-seat cabins can be content with 220 volts and heated with furnaces no more powerful than 4 kW; others require 380 volts and the three-phase current.

Note that it is not advisable to turn on any household appliances while heating the sauna. Select your furnace based on the size of the space (1 kW per 1 m³).

Electric heaters have a convector type function and heat the air to 85-90°C in just 40 minutes. The more heater elements are made of stainless steel the better quality and longer lifespan it has.

It is better to entrust professionals with installing the sauna in your apartment or house because they will follow all the rules and codes.

T he Finishing Touch of Comfort At what stage should we choose window coverings? When the primary renovations are almost completed, the planning is in place, and it’s time to make the house really cozy. Here are a few simple tips on how to do it properly.

WHERE TO START First of all let’s look at the colour of the fabric. Since a full set of window dressing is quite an expensive proposition we should right away “rhyme” its colouring with the largest piece of furniture in the room. Most likely, it will be a set of upholstered furniture or just a sofa. Thus, the two largest bodies in a single scheme will harmonize the space and look natural.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE FABRIC PRINT If you decide to choose curtains without consulting a professional have a careful look around. Choose the most outstanding part of the décor. You may adore that cute

22

ALL ABOUT HOME

teapot in a cow skin pattern or a lamp on a twisted leg. Or maybe the feature in question is the handles on the mirrored closet door. Focusing on your favorite item, try to pick the fabric that is closest to the object in its significance. The delicate semblance between the curtains and the décor elements can be clear to a connoisseur but it will leave a less sophisticated viewer with an impression of subtle elegance.

Despite your desire to preserve the vitality and playfulness of the nursery in every detail avoid using for its curtains fabrics printed with bears or trains or any other bright print. Let the nursery window covering have a delicate fuzzy picture or no print at all thus allotting your children a calm space to look at in order to relax.

A BIT OF CLASSIC Multilayer curtains have not lost their relevance. The sets with valances look good because they emphasize the homey atmosphere but so do traditional duos of drapes and sheers. To avoid the look that reminds of an outdated decor substitute organza or taffeta for tulle. Tulle or taffeta will gently

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

dissipate direct sunlight while screening the inside of the room from prying eyes.

More dense fabric curtains, on the contrary, will dim the light both from outside and inside.

Drapery itself differentiates the textile component from the rigour and immobility of the walls because the window “breathes” making the curtains slightly sway and fold; this has a refreshing effect on any room.

SO, WHAT TO CHOOSE? The game of décor does not end with the selection of colours for the walls and the floor. Lightly-coloured curtains help keep your privacy while creating comfort and a feeling of lightness in the space. They are good for both small and large rooms. Bright floor-length curtains not only visually enlarge the window opening concealing its real boundaries but they are also capable of visually diminishing the area as well as becoming the focal point of the whole room.

Horizontal stripes will visually broaden the space while using a ceiling mounted rod and hanging a floor-length curtain will make the room look higher.

CHARISMA OF STYLE AND ELEGANCE OF ETERNITY Black-and-white - a wonderful combination of colours that will never go out of fashion and will always easily fit into any selected style. Yet it is used much more frequently in kitchens and bathrooms than in the living room.

While designers suggest a few colour accents in the bedroom the living room may be easily decorated in only two shades – black and white.

A black-and-white colour scheme creates an atmosphere of grace and elegance, is easy to work with and opens a lot of possibilities. A vivid contrast between the two colours allows emphasizing certain architectural elements and decorative details.

While some colour schemes come and go with the change of season and design trends, the black-and-white one offers a

wonderful alternative that will preserve its relevance for decades.

to-the-eye décor try to play with different shades and tones.

CARPETS THAT SET THE TONE

Gray is an important transition tone between black and white and is ideal for such interiors. Gray upholstery on the sofa, a cute side table and other accessories add style and are easy to obtain. They help make the décor warmer without drowning the two main colours. Shades of dark gray give the room a deeper solid look and light grays are ideal for smaller rooms.

If in the kitchen black-and-white countertops and cabinets set the basic tone the same objective can be reached in the living room with cute rugs with geometric patterns. A luxurious two-tone carpet can really change the atmosphere of the room even if the rest of the décor is monochromatic. Simple stripes, complex patterns and prints will help bring out warmth and comfort.

IMPROVISING WITH TONES AND SHADES One of the major mistakes when designing a black-and-white interior is an attempt to recreate a picture from a magazine. Of course, an item in a catalog usually looks more attractive than a domestic version but it is less practical. Try to avoid restricting your décor to only two colors – jet black and snow white. In order to get a pleasing-

It is easy to rest your choice on a black-andwhite design but sometimes it’s hard to accomplish this goal. This kind of décor is not suitable for families with children. However, this is not reason for giving up your dream.

You just need to use a black-and-white colour scheme reasonably, employing trendy accents. The more neutral the background, the brighter elements should be introduced into the room. Fresh flowers and colourful pillows can make a great accent against a proper black-and-white background.

T he Diversity of Stained Glass STAINED GLASS DIVIDER

Stained glass easily accomplishes the zoning function skillfully playing the role of a room divider while, at the same time, allowing to maintain a feeling of spaciousness and lightness, unlike the monumental walls that traditionally separate the living room from the kitchen.

STAINED GLASS LAMP Artificial light passing through stained glass envelops the room in a mysteriously coloured cloud immediately turning the atmosphere in the room into an incredibly romantic, calm and relaxed one. The light emitted by a stained-glass lamp will never be confused with that of a conventional shaded lamp.

STAINED GLASS NICHE

Paintings made of glass and stained glass windows can transform any interior and make it unique, elegant and memorable.

Works of art glowing from the inside give the décor new tones and add elements of magic and mystery to a newly renovated room.

STAINED GLASS WINDOWS A stained glass window is a classic; they are the ones that were born as an ornament for Gothic cathedrals. Even now a window is considered one of the best places to insert stained glass because, transformed by natural light, it looks particularly interesting. With the intensity of the outside light changing throughout the day stained glass windows will change their look too, becoming more striking, then iridescent and then, muted.

Sometimes a stained glass window acquires not only an ornamental, but also a purely practical function. For example,

24

ALL ABOUT HOME

Stained glass installed in a niche will certainly become an elegant and very stylish interior décor element in general. It comes in various shapes, depths, sizes, dimensions and brightness.

Typically, these stained glass panels are illuminated from the inside, which adds to these glass works of art yet another function – that of a source of soft lighting.

STAINED GLASS SHOWER if the window in your home overlooks a wall of the neighbouring house situated too close, a dim frosted panel will protect you from prying eyes.

STAINED GLASS DOORS Stained glass for the door is capable of transforming a standard interior door into an elegant work of art that will become the main feature of the room. Such doors can set the tone for the entire room making it intentionally ostentatious or romantically graceful.

STAINED GLASS CEILING A stained glass ceiling will create a feeling of infinite space, an illusion of a glass roof over your head, with only a cloudless sky or billions of bright twinkling stars beyond it.

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

Previously, stained glass windows were used only in dry conditions. New technologies have made it possible to use stained glass even as a shower door! Of course, in this case stained glass is inserted into a sealed double-glazed unit first, which however does not interfere with its sophistication and elegance.

Modern technologies even allow creating a stained glass floor in the bathroom – of course protected with extra durable glass.

STAINED GLASS AS STAINED GLASS Paintings on glass being real works of art are capable of existing on their own. They can transform any décor, add bright colors to an indistinct room, play on uniformly distributed light – in short, become a unique highlight of any décor.

SHOPPING FOR A KITCHEN SINK can safely put hot pans and fearlessly drop heavy pots into a stainless steel sink without worrying that it may cause damage to it.

Caring for this simple sink is easy. You can use even the most aggressive detergents and cleaners on it and it will not affect its appearance. Food particles come off it very easily. However, it is recommended to wipe the surface of the sink dry after each dish washing. A brushed steel sink is more practical. On the other hand highly polished steel looks spectacular.

ENAMELED CAST IRON Enameled cast iron sinks are like inheritance – heavy and reliable but not conservative.

Enamel can be any colour and not necessarily classic white – all is up to your choice.

These sinks are easy to clean but they are susceptible to chipping. The enamel fragility and the sink’s excessive weight greatly reduce their popularity.

It is important when caring for a cast iron enameled sink to not use abrasive cleaners.

As to the rest, it is very unpretentious. With careful use an enameled sink may last for more than half a century.

STONY SOLID

The kitchen sink is a purely utilitarian home device that, being chosen correctly, can become an integral interior décor element.

The main aspect is the material the sink is made of. It is the material that determines the item qualities.

dramatic temperature deviations as they are today. The only thing about stainless steel sinks that may change in the future will be manufacturing technology. One of the most frequently cited disadvantages of stainless steel sinks is their noisiness but their manufacturers have learned to solve this problem by covering the back of the sink bottom with a special material that effectively absorbs sound.

Creative design may turn a simple stainless steel sink into a multifunctional, stylish and easy-to-deal-with kitchen tool. You

Typically, sinks made of composite are based on artificial stone and polymers with acrylic as a binder and a shape creating component. All this makes for a strong and durable material. Sinks made of it are not susceptible to a mechanical impact and are highly resistant to scratching. They can withstand extreme temperatures, do not accumulate dirt and are easy to clean. Drops of drying water do not leave marks on its surfaces. The most practical colouring is the tone of natural stone that conceals grease stains.

The unconditional advantage of composite sinks is that they are natural and environmentally safe. A possibility of chips and cracks is virtually eliminated. The walls made of low porosity composite do not retain dirt and grease. Their everyday care is limited to simple soapy water. Dried out grease and dirt can be easily removed with a small amount of dishwasher detergent.

In the next issue we will talk about kitchen sinks made of ceramic, glass and even wood.

Acrylic Bathtubs – Myths vs. Reality Acrylic bathtubs have been confidently squeezing their heavyweight cast iron and resonant steel counterparts out of the market for a long time. Yet, like any other novelty, these bathtubs have come with various myths and prejudices.

Myth One: Acrylic is Just Cheap Plastic Acrylic is a special plastic. Hence the distinctive properties of bathtubs in this material: light weight, variety of shapes and colours, ease of delivery and installation, and extensive heat capacity; for example: water in a conventional large cast iron bathtub cools down within half an hour by 3 to 5 degrees while water in an acrylic tub within the same timeframe only cools by one degree.

A plastic bathtub makes many people skeptical; they think that acrylic is probably a poisonous chemical while plastic is fragile and unreliable. Let us look into the issue impartially.

Indeed, acrylic is based on plastic. However, it is specially reinforced with materials that

provide the tub with necessary firmness.

Here is a simple yet compelling fact: in their long history, there has not been a single brakeage of an acrylic bathtub provided it is used for its intended purpose.

water. In more complicated cases a neutral liquid cleaner can be used. Aggressive solvents and fine-grained (abrasive) cleaners are highly undesirable as they may damage the integrity of acrylic.

Myth Two: Plastic Breaks Easier than Cast Iron and Such a Bathtub is Not Repairable

The most durable are acrylic bathtubs with metal netting in their base. A more widespread option is reinforcement with laminated glass fiber. Any bathtubs thus reinforced will last for many years.

If you drop a hammer into an acrylic bathtub, the damage will be minimal. In the worst case, it will be necessary to pour liquid acrylic onto the chip and rub it smooth. Yet most of the times we only need to clean and polish the spot of impact. For a cast iron tub the same experiment will result in serious problems – the enamel will probably chip off and crack. This kind of damage is very difficult to fix. The only solution will be to apply a layer of acrylic to the inner surface of the cast iron bathtub. Here, we’ve come the full circle, and acrylic is the winner!

Myth Three: An Acrylic Bathtub is Difficult to Maintain The truth is that the dense molecular structure of acrylic makes it very unassuming in care. To maintain its shine and colour all you need is to regularly rinse it with warm

Low-end models are made of ABS plastic with a thin layer of acrylic on the surface while more expensive ones have a layer of lithium acrylic uniformly applied throughout the whole thickness.

Acrylic is coloured at the manufacturing stage. With this technology the colour lasts for many years and looks like new. Acrylic is highly sound absorbent; therefore the sound of running water is virtually inaudible. The glossy surface of acrylic bathtubs is not conducive to the growth of bacteria and other kinds of accumulation of harmful impurities. The surface of acrylic bathtubs is not slippery, which makes their use safer than that of an enameled one. The maximum operating temperature of these bathtubs is limited to 50 degrees – but who needs it higher?

CLEANING YOUR BBQ

Keeping the barbecue clean is important for hygienic reasons but also because this directly affects the lifespan of the appliance.

The main problems are: a sooty grill surface, burnt food particles stuck to the grill and a greasy tray.

To clean the barbecue you will need a pair of special tongs, a metal brush, foil, paper towels, detergent and a sponge.

Clean the Outer and Inner Surfaces of the Barbecue If you want to keep the grill clean after each use, thoroughly scrub it. Do this regularly; otherwise moisture from rainwater will cause rust.

Clean the walls with a wire brush or roll some foil into a small ball and holding it

28

ALL ABOUT HOME

with tongs wipe the walls. Once done, rinse the outer walls of the barbecue with some detergent and warm water.

Use a S.O.S. sponge for the dirtiest spots.

Then rinse with water and wipe with vinegar. Let dry thoroughly.

You can extend the life of your grill with the use of thick aluminum foil: line the bottom and sides with foil but make sure it does not obstruct ventilation holes.

Never leave the grill wet. If you wash it in running water wipe it with a cloth and keep it in the room, wrapped in paper or cloth.

Cleaning the Tray

Clean the Grill This should be done after each use of the barbecue. In order to simplify the process, leave the grill over hot coals or the burner after you have removed the cooked food.

Food debris will just burn. Do not wait until the grill has cooled down; immediately clean it with a wire brush – burnt particles come off easier when the metal is hot.

e-mail: aahtoronto@gmail.com

Before each cooking grease the grill with oil to diminish sticking. Fold a paper towel several times; dip in oil and using long tongs wipe the grill. It is even easier to use a piece of bacon or salt pork for this purpose. Repeat the procedure after cooking - grease prevents rust and protects bars.

First remove grease and leftover food with a wooden spatula. Gently heat the tray and soak in a solution of hot water and oven cleaner.

You can substitute ammonia for the oven cleaner - just dissolve it in warm water and leave for a few minutes. Once done, rinse the tray with detergent, rinse with water and wipe dry.
