REAL ESTATE WEEKLY January 6, 2012

Perhaps you’d love to renovate your home but the expenditures involved are making you think twice. But what if you were sure that the changes you are planning will help you to resell your home? Some renovation projects can help you obtain a high enough sale price to recover your outlay. Among these projects is the addition of a fireplace, a prized asset well worth the expense for many people. New, good quality windows made of PVC, wood, or aluminum will improve the appearance and comfort of your home, all while reducing heat loss. If your roof is showing signs of ageing, it will boost the value of your home to replace it.

If you have to decide which rooms to renovate, be aware that the kitchen and the bathroom get the most attention from potential buyers. If the floor coverings in these rooms include carpeting or linoleum, you won’t be wasting your time if you replace them with wood or ceramic. Installing ceramic tiles in the shower will help to give a bathroom a special cachet that can also boost resale value. When carrying out renovations, keep all your bills so that you can show them to potential buyers. These will demonstrate how recent your renovations are and prove that you have been taking care of your property. During the renovations keep careful track of your expenses so that you can be sure to recoup them when you sell the home. And remember that people are ready to pay more for a property that has been renovated with professionalism.

The cost of some renovation projects can be completely recouped at resale.

Specialists in dream kitchens If you have loads of great ideas for your future kitchen but you have no idea where to start, why not talk to a kitchen designer.

ers using virtual design techniques that allow clients to preview the results without spending thousands of dollars.

The kitchen is the central area in many homes; it is where family gathers and where guests first sample the personal style of the homeowners. Because of that importance, many consultants today are specially trained in kitchen design and conception. They have different skills ranging from design and ergonomics to cabinetmaking, carpentry, and installation.

Working with a kitchen designer is an opportunity to name your dreams for your home. Because these professionals design tailor-made cabinets adapted to your requirements, they will be able to personalize storage areas and maximize available space. If you’re dreaming of a gas stove but think you don’t have enough room, or if you’d love to have culinary heat lamps, refrigerated drawers, or a professional restaurant-style kitchen, a kitchen designer will help you adapt your dreams to your budget.

Above all, kitchen designers are advisors. They meet with clients and build a concept to suit the style of the family, taking into account budget, space, time, and personal needs. Most designers work with comput-

Kitchen designers are constantly on the lookout for new items in the world of interior design and can suggest ergonomic innovations that will turn the most reluctant of cooks into enthusiasts!

To renovate a room as important as the kitchen, hire a specialist. The job will be done quickly and you will be able to enjoy it for years to come.

The contemporary industrial look In the design world, the contemporary style has evolved into a more industrial look, influenced by the not-too-distant Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century. The presence of texture, along with strong, elegant, and handsome lines, plus a mix of materials such as metal and wood are the distinguishing traits of this style of furniture. Leather is all the rage for sofas and armchairs because of its special cachet and the fact that it is so easy to clean. Favourite colours are white, black, grey, and taupe, which are often combined with wood stained grey, anthracite, or black. Modular sofas can fit with this style, as long as the textures and materials have a patina of age.

why the colours of furnishing fabrics so often bear a resemblance to those seen on the world’s catwalks. If you want to have an idea of what the latest trend in furnishings is, just visit some clothing boutiques! Even though the industrial look favours knotty and rustic raw wood for tables, sideboards, chests of drawers, and bedside tables, there is also an increasing trend towards polycarbonate furniture. These are created in a strong plastic which makes for a striking contrast with a home’s raw, industrial look furnishings.

Did you know that the industrial look of furniture has its origins in the world of haute couture? That would explain

The contemporary style is still popular but has evolved into a more industrial look.

Different models, different methods The way you install a new hearth or woodstove varies greatly, depending on the model you choose. The installation of an electric fireplace is very simple, as it only needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet. An electric or ethanol fireplace does not require a chimney or a ventilation pipe, so some models can be affixed directly to the wall while others are portable and do not require any assembly. Many safety regulations must be followed when putting in a wood fireplace, however. If your home already has a hearth and chimney, you can install a fireplace insert, but it must include a new, officially approved stainless steel chimney lining. Ensure that your chimney is suited to the type of fireplace you want and that its installation meets building codes. If you have chosen an advanced combustion fireplace, be sure to hire a competent professional to install it. A gas fireplace doesn’t require a chimney, just an evacuation pipe or duct. You will, however, need to replace the existing chimney lining with an approved metal duct. Insert models are simply placed in the opening of an existing fireplace. For those homes

For safety, make sure a professional installs your new fireplace or woodstove.

that do not have an existing fireplace, a zero clearance fireplace can be installed on an interior or exterior wall with approved venting material. Again, a natural gas or propane fireplace should be installed by a home heating professional. Wood pellet stoves require an evacuation pipe rather than a chimney, and a simple vent is sufficient for some models. It is always advisable to have this type of fireplace installed by a licensed contractor familiar with the procedure.

If your kid has flown the coop for good — a sure sign is when he or she starts a family of their own — you might decide it’s time to take advantage of their now rather empty bedroom. Before it gets taken over with spare-room stuff that is seldom used, why not give it a whole new vocation: a dressing room closet, the biggest trend in home renovations at the moment. Planning is an important first step towards a successful dressing room, which is a large walk-in closet with room for dressers and a seating area. You will never again have to turn your drawers upside down in search of long-forgotten items of clothing. You will have all the room you could possibly want or need! First of all, take stock of your wardrobe in order to identify the specially designed areas you will need. If you only have three pairs of pants but dozens of dresses and blouses, you won’t need the same

number of shelves as a person who wears sweaters and jeans all the time. Be sure to consider all your shoes, hats, scarves, and belts; it is important to make accessible storage space for all of them. There are storage arrangements for everything imaginable: shelves, adjustable hanger poles, hooks for handbags, racks, shoe compartments, underwear drawers, and more. Large mirrors and bright lights for seeing everything on your shelves are also great ideas. You might want to consider a central island containing drawers for jewellery and accessories while giving you a surface for sorting and folding clothes. To top it all off, an attractive chair and side table are luxurious additions that will allow you to contemplate your wardrobe options while you sip your morning coffee. Don’t forget that a well-designed dressing room allows for easy circulation and enough space to step back from the mirror and see your reflection from every angle.

By converting a spare room into a dressing room, you can enjoy the luxury of keeping all your clothes, jewellery, and accessories in one place.

The perfect hood for the perfect kitchen A range hood is essential in any kitchen, but how to choose the right one for your home? Style, colour, and performance options are the obvious criteria, but homeowners should also ensure that their chosen model has been independently tested and certified. It’s important that the range hood be a match for the size of the kitchen and type of stove. The fan must be powerful enough to renew the air of the kitchen approximately 10 times per hour, which is why you must know the size of the kitchen before choosing one.

uate the air from a hood into an attic, walls, garage, or crawl space, as the humidity and heat from the kitchen could damage the insulation or even the structure of the house. Before making a final choice, keep in mind that even though stainless steel range hoods are often the most eye-catching, they are also the most difficult to maintain and clean — be sure to choose a hood that you will be able to care for easily and clean often.

Another factor to consider is that there should be at least a 20- to 24-inch clearance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the hood. If your hood’s fan is powerful enough, it could be installed up to 30 inches from the cooking surface. Hoods should be installed with a duct leading to the outside, preferably with a 3 1/4 inch-diameter metal pipe with smooth rather than undulating sides. If it isn’t possible to install an outdoorevacuating range hood, there are models available with carbon filters. Never evac-

A well-chosen range hood is vital for any functional kitchen.

Need a change of atmosphere? Replace the lampshades!

Choose the best and healthiest materials

Do you wish you could create a softer, cozier atmosphere in your bedroom? Lights and lighting play an important role in establishing the feel of a room, which is why simply replacing your lampshades or lamp stands allows you to create a new décor.

Today’s homeowners are more concerned about their living environments than ever before. They also have more resources to create the living conditions that they desire.

Choose a designer lampshade to dress up a corner and add a contemporary touch to your room. A more classic lampshade can soften the light and create a more peaceful atmosphere. A clear lampshade with high light intensity can be positioned in the reading area of a living room or bedroom; its sunny effect will cheer up any and all. Lampshades in all the colours of the rainbow are available in a wide range of materials: glass, fabrics, plastic, or even wood and rattan. White and light colours are perfect for creating a soft and pleasant atmosphere. Darker tones give more intimate lighting and create a warm atmosphere. Lampshades decorated with favourite cartoon characters will delight your children and become the focal point of their bedrooms. How about making your own lampshades? Personalize a room and add the finishing touch to your decor by creating a unique lamp with the shell of an old lampshade. Cover it with some well-chosen fabric, add a personal touch with ribbons, buttons, jewels, or smaller bits of fabric, and the end result will reflect your tastes to a tee. To change the look of an old lamp, all you have to do is replace the lampshade.

Using healthy construction materials is one way to improve a home’s air quality. A good example of this is the use of spruce for building walls. This type of wood grows quickly, making it an excellent sustainable resource. It also has the lowest chemical composition of all the softwoods. Drywall reinforced with fibres produces very little dust and releases a minimum of volatile chemical substances during installation. The use of low density PVC foam tape and low emission draught-proofing will ensure air tightness between sheets of plasterboard. These two products will eliminate draughts and are the most successful in keeping pollutants and humidity out of the home. They also reduce heat loss by up to 75 percent. For maximum adaptability and accessibility, choose floor coverings made of wood or tiles. Use rugs rather than fitted carpets. Hardwood parquetry and no-wax vinyl tiles Pay particular attention to your choice of materials.

are floor coverings that have a permanent finish and require very little care. High efficiency forced air furnaces, heat pumps, and integrated combination heat and hot water systems ensure the precise and economical control of air and water temperatures in modern homes. Heat recovery ventilators help recuperate 70 percent of heat from stale air, improve the quality of room temperature air, lower heating costs, and ensure a continuous influx of fresh air into the home.

Personal Real Estate Corporation

I had my home for sale with other realtors previously; however they were not able to relieve the stress of not knowing if my home would sell. Looking back it’s clear to me that I should have called you in the first place. You promised to buy my home if you didn’t sell it and you stood by your promises. You actually bought my home so that I could buy my dream home! I can’t tell you how extremely happy I am! Thanks again for everything. Val Lockstead
