How to get the cottagecore look at home If you love wildflowers, crafting, embroidery, plants and a fairy tale-like esthetic, the cottagecore look may be right for you.

This trendy style evokes the atmosphere, lifestyle and romanticism of English country houses. Fortunately, you don’t have to live in a literal cottage to get the look. Here’s how to bring this design style into your home.

6 tips for setting up a small kitchen

Do you need more room in your cramped kitchen? Here

1. Mount a rail to the wall. Use a support bar and hooks to hang utensils, measuring cups, pots, pans, oven mitts, cutting boards and anything else you want to keep handy.

DECEMBER 2023

THE WALLS To create a dreamy and poetic atmosphere, paint the walls in pastel tones. Alternatively, apply a flowery wallpaper. Just make sure the print isn’t too busy, as this can overwhelm the space.

THE FLOOR Whether it’s wood or ceramic, light flooring is a good fit for the cottagecore look.

If you add a rug, consider choosing a white or beige macramé model.

THE FURNITURE Wood, wicker, rattan and other natural materials contribute to a country esthetic. Look for chairs, tables, beds and other furniture made of these materials.Vintage and antique pieces are also on theme.

THE ACCENTS Floral prints and botanical fabrics will set the right tone. Plants are a must, but consider incorporating dried or fresh flowers into the space as well. Handmade items, vintage dishware and folk art pieces are also a good fit.

To create the cottagecore look in your home, visit shops and antique dealers in your area.

2. Hang shelves. Install them above the stove, fridge, countertop and doorway. Shelves provide an easy storage solution for spices, bins of pasta, candy containers, fresh herbs and more.

3. Opt for integrated design features. Built-in appliances or a trash chute incorporated into the countertop can help you make the most of a small space. Similarly, a slide-out shelf can extend your countertop surface.

Fireplaces: natural gas or propane?

Are you unsure whether to get a gas or propane fireplace? In spite of their many similarities, these two options have a few differences that can help you determine which is best for you.

If you already have a natural gas provider (because you have a gas stove, for example), you may want to opt for a gas fireplace. The coupling and maintenance will be easier due to existing infrastructure.

A propane fireplace, however, will have to be connected to an outdoor tank. But if you want your fireplace to create a warm, rustic atmosphere, choose propane. It creates a flame similar to that of a wood-burning fireplace, which makes it more visually pleasing than a gas-powered model.

Nevertheless, propane fireplaces are usually more expensive than gas-powered ones.

They also tend to be more expensive to use, as propane costs more than natural gas in many locations.

PROS Whether you choose a fireplace that runs on propane or natural gas, you’ll have an effective, easy-to-use heating unit. Both can be turned on and off and controlled by a thermostat. Many models can also be programmed so that they turn on and off at set times.

Both types require little maintenance since they don’t produce ash. You just have to clean the glass and the burners on a regular basis. Finally, neither option requires the installation of a chimney. A tube or vent is enough to let combustion gases out.

A propane fireplace, although a bit more expensive than a gas one, creates a similar flame to that of a wood-burning fireplace.

Why use space heaters?

On top of increasing your comfort indoors, space heaters offer a ton of advantages.

Here are a few.

First of all, they’re usually portable, as is the case with electric heaters. Therefore, they can follow you around and keep you cozy no matter where you are in the house.

What’s more, they can be used in conjunction with your main heating system. This means that when you can’t seem to get a room warm enough — on extremely cold days, for example — you’ll still be able to maintain a comfortable temperature without

using up too much electricity. In short, a space heater can save you money.

BLACKOUT-PROOF HEAT If your main heating system uses electricity, consider getting a space heater that’s powered by a different energy source (natural gas, propane, wood, etc.). This way, you’ll be able to stay warm during power outages.

Some types of space heaters can help create a cozy atmosphere in your house. Who doesn’t enjoy watching flames dance and hearing logs crackle in the fireplace, for instance?

Choose the electric heater that’s right for you There are all sorts of electric space heaters available on the market today, from radiant and convection to forced air varieties. Here are a few tips to help you choose the model that’s right for you.

First of all, if you wish to heat a room over the course of several hours, choose a heater that uses natural convection. It may distribute heat more slowly than other heaters, but it allows you to maintain a stable temperature over long periods of time — as long as the room is closed in.

If you want to warm yourself up quickly without increasing the temperature of the room you’re in, choose a heater that uses radiant heating. This provides an almost instant feeling of heat on your skin but doesn’t warm the air. It can be useful when working in your garage, for instance.

Last but not least, to quickly warm up a small room, you can get a forced air heater or combined model (oil-filled or with panels). These provide stable, longlasting heat.

Discover the pros of pellet stoves Are you thinking about purchasing a space heater but aren’t sure which kind you should get? Keep reading to discover the many pros of pellet stoves.

Less polluting than traditional wood fireplaces, pellet stoves run by burning dry compressed wood. One of their main advantages is their ease of use. All you have to do is put some pellets in a hopper (a funnelshaped vessel) and turn on the heater by raising the thermostat. The pellets are then mechanically carried towards a combustion chamber where they’re burned. A fan pushes hot air into the house, while combustion gases are released outside through a vent or other exhaust system.

This method of operation means there’s almost no heat loss. You don’t even have to open the door to feed the fire like you would with a wood-burning fireplace.

regular heat. It can work over extended periods of time — sometimes up to 48 hours — to maintain a consistent temperature without having to add pellets. It stops automatically when the programmed temperature is reached.

Although their flames are only visible at full capacity, pellet stoves still produce the sought-after scent of burning wood.

KEEP IN MIND Before purchasing a pellet stove, make sure it has the seal of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA Group) or the Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada (ULC). Ideally, look for a unit certified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce emissions of particle pollutants.

AN EFFICIENT UNIT The pellet stove functions with a thermostat, which means it provides constant,

The many advantages of buying a new home

PHOTO: JUPITERIMAGES / THINKSTOCK

Finding the home of your dreams on the resale market isn’t always easy. Here are some of the advantages to buying a newly built home.

A HOME THAT FITS YOU TO A T It isn’t always easy to find a home that meets all your needs. By buying new you can build from an original and exclusive floor plan, or you can choose from models offered by a contractor and to which a few changes can be made to personalize your home.

AN ECO-FRIENDLY HOME Increasingly, architects and builders are taking into account the environmental and energy saving requirements of their clients. This allows home owners to achieve two goals: reduce their housing and long-term maintenance costs; and live in a healthier environment.

AN UP-TO-THE-MINUTE HOME The interior or exterior design of new homes incorporates the latest trends in materials, styles and technologies. Usually, you won’t find such innovations if you opt for the resale market. In addition, these homes are often built in areas that include the very latest trends in urban development, such as buried utilities infrastructure.

A HOME THAT DOESN’T NEED RENOVATING A home always needs some maintenance and repair work over the long term, but by opting for a new turnkey home, you can say goodbye to this type of work for a very long time.

There are numerous benefits to choosing a brand-new property.

A HOME WARRANTY An efficient, well-established contractor will offer you a worthwhile warranty on your new home, giving you years of worry-free home ownership.

How to choose a building contractor So, you’ve decided to build a new home. Where to start and who to trust? Here are some guidelines to follow when choosing a contractor.

IS THE CONTRACTOR WELL ESTABLISHED? First of all, check with building associations to ensure that your contractor of choice meets professional standards and has all the necessary permits. Also check to see what warranties he or she offers.

GO FOR EXPERIENCE Generally, it’s better to choose the services of an experienced contractor who is used to building in your chosen area. That way, you can have more confidence that building standards, geographic features and local regulations will be respected. Start your search for the right contractor by asking for feedback from neighbours, getting references from the local contractors’ association and checking local newspapers.

PHOTO: JUPITERIMAGES / THINKSTOCK

FOLLOW YOUR NOSE Check out the contractor’s previous work. What are his major achievements? Are former clients pleased with his work? Are the houses well-built and were they delivered on time? If you have the chance, visit existing housing projects and talk to some of the homeowners. Alternatively, word of mouth is always a good source of information, or you could check on local Internet forums.

Get several quotes before making your choice.

SHOP AROUND Take the time to ask questions of the contractors on your short-list of candidates. If possible, visit their model homes; if you’re new to all this, take along someone who knows their way around the construction industry and who can check out all the important details.

A WRITTEN SUBMISSION Obtain a full written submission from the most promising contractors. Three bids allow for a useful comparison; you’ll find it easier to check exactly what is being offered to you with regard to price, materials, timelines and warranties. And you’ll be in a much better position to choose the contractor who suits you and your dream home.

How to go about building a new home

You’ll deal with a general contractor. A contractor is responsible for all aspects of the building of your home, according to the design and plan you ask him or her to use. The contractor, or builder, should be licensed and reputable, as you’ll be expecting him to build according to code. Make sure your chosen contractor has a good knowledge of building standards in your area and good references from other clients.

You’ll do it all yourself. If you decide to be your own contractor, you should first contact the association that governs your local building code. You may be required to obtain a licence or hire licensed subcontractors for certain jobs. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all building standards if you hire relatives or friends to help you.

MORE OPTIONS However you go about having your home built, there are some considerations to take care of before you proceed.

• Find land. Your first step should be to find some land in your area of choice. Before buying a lot, check with the municipality to ensure your project complies with all standards and codes. Otherwise, you might end up with a lot where you can’t build a new residential home.

plans. However, be sure to check the background of the contractor in charge of this development and take the time to study the plans and terms before signing the preliminary contract.

• Choose your plans. There are several options: you can shop around for ready-made floor plans; choose one from those offered by the contractor you hire; or work with an architect to design your own home.

PHOTOS: ALTRENDO IMAGES / JUPITERIMAGES / THINKSTOCK

When you’re looking at the big job of building a new home, your budget is the first consideration, of course.

How much capital you have and how much financing you can access determine whether you hire a contractor or do some or all of the work yourself.

• Choose a prefab home. If you choose this route, you’ll have plenty of options. Prefabricated homes are available in modules or panels and are assembled with the help of the manufacturer and a specialized contractor.

• Choose a housing development. Your job may be easier if you decide to go with a housing developer that offers pre-prepared lots and a repertory of floor

Do you love snow as long as you don’t have to shovel it first thing in the morning? That’s why you might want to hire a snow removal contractor. After all, desperate times call for desperate measures. However, you still have to choose the right people for the job.

Two options are available to you: renting or buying.

That’s right; some specialized companies offer leasing, including setup and removal. This prevents you from having to find storage space for the fabric and structure when winter is over. In the long term, it is financially sensible to buy your own car shelter, although you might need to pay for repairs once in a while.

The first step in this process is to ask family members, friends and neighbours to recommend a reliable snow removal contractor. Ask for estimates from a few different companies so you can compare prices and services. You should also ask for references. Similarly, an Internet search may give you some idea of a contractor’s customer approval ratings. Be especially careful to avoid snow removal contractors who only provide a phone number. You may have trouble contacting them in case of problems.

Whatever your choice, the first thing you need to do is check your municipal regulations about portable garages. There may be bylaws about the types of shelters permitted, their location on your property

Can the price be increased because of abnormally high amounts of snow? Only if a clause in the contract covers the possibility. If that’s the case, make sure the contract specifies the cost of additional services and the amount of snow considered to be exceptional.

Have a great winter!

With a portable garage shelter, you can say goodbye to brushing off your car and scraping your windshield every morning.

What a joy!

Don’t pay up front, at the beginning of the contract.

Pay in several installments in order to minimize your losses in case the company declares bankruptcy.

BUYING • Make sure the format of the shelter suits the number and types of cars you have and that you have room to store it in the off-season.

• Ask about warranties for the fabric and structure.

• Choose a thick fabric, preferably one that is sewn with nylon thread and treated against UV rays; it will last longer.

• Opt for a reasonably thick galvanized steel structure. If necessary, some models also offer additional bars to increase weather resistance.

• Make sure you choose the right anchors. Auger anchors are not suitable for use on paved driveways.

• Choose a model with two windows for better visibility, and if you have enough room, choose one with two doors to facilitate movement in and out.

Lastly, make sure your home insurance covers both the shelter and any damage it may cause. And don’t forget that while you won’t be doing any more windshield scraping, you’ll still have to clean your shelter once in a while so it doesn’t buckle under the weight of all that snow.

You’ve made your choice? Ask for a contract. Although it doesn’t guarantee that you won’t run into any problems, it will help you assert your rights if necessary. This document should include a few key points: • The duration of the contract (effective from which date and ending on which date) • The amount of snow that calls for snow removal, such as five centimetres or more • The time of day by which snow must be removed • Where the removed snow will be put (check local regulations) • Any related tasks, such as salt spreading • Total price and payment terms

and seasonal dates for leaving them up and taking them down.

Windows: making the most of natural light Maximizing natural light when building or renovating a home has many advantages.

Not only is natural light better for us but it also reduces the need for energy-consuming artificial lighting.

Because Canadians spend much of the winter inside, exposure to good quality lighting is an important factor in keeping healthy.

Variations in light affect hormone levels and biological cycles; scientific studies even show that adequate natural lighting at work can increase productivity and reduce absenteeism.

Natural light also increases energy levels.

OPTIMIZING NATURAL LIGHT • Several smaller windows are better than one large window, which causes more glare.

• The positioning of windows on several walls ensures better light distribution.

• High windows allow light to reach further into the home.

• Windows in a horizontal line distribute daylight better than round or square windows, as the latter create a strong contrast between the window and the wall.

• Large areas of dark colour should be avoi-

When building or renovating, keep in mind that the intensity and distribution of natural light in a room depends on the dimensions of the space, the materials composing the internal surfaces, as well as its location, orientation, and the quality of the windows.

Brighten your home with indirect LED lighting Hidden light sources are the perfect idea for any lighting design project in your home.

Whether it’s under beds, along baseboards or above cabinets, flexible, indirect LED lighting strips can be installed virtually anywhere you want. These light emitting diodes are a great alternative to direct overhead lighting and they’ll provide any room with warmth and character.

SHED SOME NEW LIGHT The traditional use of direct overhead lighting can feel cold and sterile. What’s more, the glare from these lights is rarely forgiving when it comes to your home’s blemishes and imperfections. LED strips, on the other hand, are easily installed, use very little energy and have a very long lifespan. They’re also perfect when looking to add a calming atmosphere or creative flair to a given room.

Here are a few ideas to inspire you for your next lighting project. Place LED strips: • Under beds, couches or even the edge of a podium bath • Under or above your kitchen cabinets • Under the shelves in your office • Around your deck or pool • In the cab interior of your RV A BEAUTIFUL GLOW Unlike their compact fluorescent counterparts, LED bulbs give off a warm glow and virtually no glare. Tailored to indoor lighting, they evenly distribute the light to help bathe the room in soft and welcoming colours. This will help make the room feel bigger and will bring out any stylish architectural elements you may have.

The benefits of maintaining your heating system With autumn fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about winterizing your house.

Your heating system is the lifeblood of your home during the cold season, so it’s important to keep it in perfect working condition.

The last thing you want is to be left out in the cold during a blizzard.

ANNUAL INSPECTIONS Your furnace or boiler should be maintained at least once a year, regardless if it runs on electricity, gas or oil. By servicing your heating system annually, you’ll be able to keep energy losses to a minimum, prevent parts from breaking down and help ensure the safety of you and your family.

14

SERVICES AND SUPPORT A qualified heating technician will: • Check the air supply of your of boiler or furnace • Inspect the flue or vent pipes • Check the condition of the heat exchanger • Ensure that the various parts of the heating system are in good working condition • Perform additional checks if your heating system uses natural gas or oil WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? There are several benefits to having your heating system cleaned and checked by a certified technician. A furnace or boiler that isn’t running at peak performance will require more energy to maintain the same level of output. This can cause damage to your system, alter the temperature of your home and increase your energy bill. What’s more, by having a technician install a carbon monoxide alarm, you’ll have the added security of being alerted if there’s ever a potentially threatening gas leak in your home.

H O M E S | DECEMBER 2023 TOOLBOX 42 / SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2016 / NEWSPAPER

The revival of the home bar Cocktails are back in a big way, leading many to outfit their homes with stylish yet functional bars. Regardless if it’s in a living room, basement or even a garage, your bar will be the focal point of any social gathering.

Of course, there’s no need to go overboard; a home bar that fits your tastes and budget will get the job done when entertaining friends and family.

BAR BASICS At the very least, your bar should have a countertop to serve drinks on as well as few stools for seating. It’s also handy to have shelves to house your bottles of liquor and glassware, as well as drawers for your tools.

Next, you’ll need to choose between having a wet (sink) or dry bar (no sink). Having a sink is practical for washing your glasses, but it also means you’ll have to install you bar near a waterline. A small refrigerator is a definite must-have for any proper bartender. Outfitting your bar with a minifridge will allow you to keep a variety of useful items on hand, such as juices, soft drinks, beer and other bottled beverages.

THE RIGHT SETTING Figuring out where you want to spend most of your time entertaining is just one step towards determining your bar’s location. Its size, shape and functionality will also play a role in deciding where it will go. Ideally, you’ll want to place it on an empty wall away from foot traffic so it’s not in the way.

Being close to the kitchen is practical if your bar lacks a fridge or a sink. However, the basement or garage might be better options if you have a rather large and ornate bar. Of course, if space is an issue in your home, you could always go with a quaint bar cart instead. The perfect solution for small spaces, these versatile little carts create a dedicated area for mixing drinks in virtually any room of your house.

Trending kitchen cabinet designs The kitchen is the heart of every home. Not only does it need to be functional, but as the hub of your family life, it also has to be visually stunning. To this effect, kitchen cabinets have moved away from the rustic and classical designs of previous years. In an effort to become more modern and sleek, cabinetry has adopted a new seamless style combining appearance and functionality.

A MINIMALISTIC APPROACH Kitchens have become increasingly streamlined over the years. Gone are the days of raised panel doors, excess ornamentation and crown moldings. Instead, you’ll find a more European approach emphasizing horizontal lines and an obvious absence of patterns. Full-overlay cabinetry is brought to the ceiling and flat-panel doors are outfitted with basic chrome or stainless steel hardware — anything and everything to create that sleek and unadorned look.

INSPIRED BY YOUR TASTES You’ll encounter a varied selection of cabinets when attempting to tailor the design of your kitchen to your style and needs. Melamine continues to be a popular choice for many kitchens. Installing solid wood cabinets will increase the value of any home, but they are more expensive than other materials such as veneer and thermoplastic.

And color choices, while often influenced by natural light, will vary depending on your personal taste and style.

Consulting a renovation specialist is always a good idea when looking to make your kitchen more modern. Their expertise and personalized assistance will help you select and install the right cabinets for your kitchen.

Kitchen cabinets make a move towards the modern!
