What’s at the Show...
T
he mental and physical benefits of sunshine can’t be disputed - just ask all of the Canadian ‘snow birds’ that head down south each year as our days become shorter. It’s been proven that when we surround ourselves with nature, sunshine and clean air we improve our sleep, our cardiovascular health and our stress levels. These days, as we spend so much of our days with our faces basking in the glow of a computer screen, it only becomes more important to enjoy the benefits of outdoor living. More than ever, home building and renovation choices reflect this desire to experience the natural light and fresh air that outdoor living offers. Heath Pierson, owner of Blue Ridge Builders, knows first-hand how a functional outdoor space encourages homeowners to spend more time outdoors. “There is no doubt that a home with a functional and comfortable outdoor area leads people to spend more time outside,” says Pierson. “Utilizing this space on your
property just makes sense – it can expand the entire living area of your home.” “A nice deck or backyard retreat, with a barbeque and comfortable seating will add to your quality of life.”
Although backyard living is important, Pierson stresses that people should not forget about the front of the home. “It’s all about curb appeal of course,” he says.
