Redesigned entrance ups curb appeal Joanne Penhale the Montreal Gazette A landscaping overhaul in front of this Laval, Que., home reoriented the driveway, added a stately walkway and completely changed the look of the home. “We like the straight, clean lines,” said homeowner Marie Di Maso. “It’s very welcoming.” Before it was redesigned, the front of the house looked like a sea of Unistone, Di Maso said. “We could park a lot of cars, but it wasn’t very welcoming.” Now, a limestone walkway cuts straight from the street to the front door, eliminating the need to walk across a sprawling driveway. Green perennial plantings in symmetry on either side of the walkway include short boxwood hedging that

than-before driveway, surfaced with concrete pavers, now keeps to one side of the house and leads straight to the setback two-car garage rather than spilling out in front of the house as it once had.

“We’re always trying to tone down the driveway,” said Myke Hodgins, the landscape architect behind the design. Large driveways, especially ones with elaborate designs or with huge smooth

surfaces, can distract from the house itself. And it’s the house and the front door where attention needs to be drawn, said Hodgins. When he designs a home’s landscape, Hodgins tries to bring elements from its fa-

cade into the driveway and walkway design, which help create a cohesive look. The textured soft grey colours of the limestone and concrete pavers in this project echo the pale grey accents in the home’s darker grey facade. Too often, Hodgins said, he sees large swaths of smooth asphalt surfaces around a home — even backyards that are entirely paved. These large, smooth surfaces don’t just attract attention to the driveway rather than the home, they can also heat up a property. Not only that, but if rainwater just pours off the driveway into city sewers rather than seeping into the earth around a home, the home’s foundation can become compromised. “As landscape architects we try to keep all the water that falls on the site, on the site,” Hodgins said. The materials used on this home’s driveway and walkways aren’t permeable, Hodgins said. But when this is the case, he designs surfaces so that rainwater runs off into adjacent earth.

Proposed tax credit will help level playing field Stu Niebergall I was listening to one of our local radio station talk shows, during which callers were debating the merits of the first promise of the upcoming federal election. The debate focused on the Conservative’s promise to create a permanent tax credit for home renovations. What was surprising to me was a majority of callers either referenced a provincial program from the 1980s Grant Devine government, which is a completely different context than the federal initiative, or the callers suggested that a renovation tax credit would only benefit the richest in society. Listening to the broadcast I recognized that this is a subject on which the public is not wellinformed. Although the proposed per-

manent renovation tax credit is estimated to cost the federal government $1.5 billion a year, this can actually be a cost neutral investment which encourages individuals and families to invest in improving the quality and stock of Canadian housing. For making that investment, the homeowner would be provided with a 15 per cent tax credit on renovations that cost between $1,000 and $5,000. The maximum tax credit would provide individual savings of $750 per year. This is half of what the renovation tax credit was in 2009, when an estimated three million people took advantage of the program. At the time, it was a great program supported by all political parties. It was good for businesses, got the trades going during a difficult recession, kick-started the troubled economy, and forced many under the table transactions to come above board. Home renovations are a sizable part of the underground economy which means a lot of money going untaxed. According to Statistics

Canada the underground economy is worth $42.4 billion dollars and illegitimate businesses operating in the renovation industry constitute the largest segment at 28.3 per cent which translates to $11.9 billion dollars. Very simple math shows that if the GST/PST was captured from the renovation underground economy alone, it would equal $1.12 billion. This is so significant, that a program like the proposed permanent renovation tax credit would not only be revenue neutral for taxpayers, but most likely would deliver positive revenue overall to all three levels of government. Addressing the underground economy and levelling the playing field for legitimate contractors has been one of the pillars of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association’s (CHBA) advocacy work. On an individual homeowner basis, this is a modest taxation tool that discourages homeowners from doing business with underground contractors who only work for cash, who don’t provide written contracts or receipts, and who do

not carry insurance or written warranties for their customers’ protection. Besides undermining the wellbeing of all Canadians by evading taxes that support the government services that we all depend on, illegitimate contractors also threaten the financial security of homeowners and the physical integrity of their homes. To remedy this, a permanent renovation tax credit would encourage homeowners to obtain products and services from legitimate contractors who will provide them with a proper receipt. A renovation tax credit is also beneficial for first-time home buyers, who are facing many challenges when it comes to housing affordability. Renovating an existing home is a great way for young families to build some extra equity into their home. In addition, many renovations to a home lead to homeowners improving the energy efficiency of their home, which lowers energy bills and is positive for the environment. The elderly and those with disabilities can benefit

from such an initiative when inhouse accessibility features are integrated. Kevin Lee, CEO of the CHBA may have concluded it best. He stated, “Housing issues are everyone’s issues, and CHBA hopes all parties will bring forward proposals that address the affordability challenges impacting Canadians who own homes today, and those younger people and families who hope to become homeowners in the future. Hopefully, this announcement will stimulate focus on housing issues by all parties.” If a small tax break positively impacts housing affordability, is a job creator, takes a significant bite out of the underground economy, and provides more choice for homeowners while protecting them at the same time, the proposed permanent renovation tax credit has to be a win-win for any political stripe. Stu Niebergall is president and CEO of the Regina and Region Home Builders’ Association.

Pathways Impact of driveway reduced Continued from F1 Hodgins picked up a reddish clay uni-paver sample on display in his office. It’s about double the size of a usual house brick. He points out the lugs — or small extensions — on its side. “When you put one against the other, it leaves a space,” he said, explaining how rainwater hitting a whole driveway made with these will percolate earthward through sand between the pavers. To prevent weeds growing between each unit, Hodgins said, he recommends using polymeric sand, which is permeable when wet, but becomes concrete-like when dry. And if a driveway made with pavers gets wavy over the course of a decade or two, Hodgins said, the pavers can be lifted and the stone dust surface beneath can be relevelled. “The problem with permeable materials is that they are three times the cost of asphalt,” Hodgins said. Permeable asphalt exists, Hodgins said, but doesn’t last given the freeze and thaw cycles of winter. Gravel is another common driveway material. Most gravel

has various sized rock pieces with diameters up to ¾ inches, he said.

“It’s all a matter of taste, Some people want it clean and pristine, and other people like the surfaces softened up by plant material, or just a patina.” Myke Hodgins “It packs in and it doesn’t move … it’s not very permeable.” While imprinted is not permeable, it does break up that huge smooth surface that otherwise distracts from the home itself. Hodgins said the asphalt starts out black but becomes a subdued grey over time. For anyone wanting to reduce the size of their home’s driveway, but not lose precious parking areas, reinforced grass may be an attractive option. Hodgins described this as a geo-textile with plastic mesh and hollow hockey-puck

AFTER: Reducing the size of the driveway and adding plantings to the front improved the home’s entrance. sized cylinders that contain soil and can support both grass growth and vehicles. Hodgins said the structure is not suitable for driveways, as it would get destroyed by snow removal, and the grass would be killed by heavy salting. Similarly, Hodgins said, for walkways in areas where there will be snow removal, he opts for more cohesive surfaces that require as little maintenance as possible. Un-

even stone edges will constantly get hit with a snow shovel. When heights need to be achieved with walkways and mobility is a concern, Hodgins said, clients can choose handrails, broadly spaced wide steps or ramps. Ramps, however, need to be at an incline of eight per cent or less, which becomes hard to achieve the higher the door is. In these cases, he said, outdoor elevators are an option.

For maintenance of walkways and driveways, Hodgins said, seasonal sweeps are usually enough. “It’s all a matter of taste,” he said. “Some people want it clean and pristine, and other people like the surfaces softened up by plant material, or just a patina.” “I actually prefer a patina — I don’t want it to look too shiny and new. Maybe every five or 10 years it gets so cruddy looking, you’ll want to power wash it.”

MAKE IT RIGHT

PETS

Know your tools and how to use them

Meowing up the right tree

MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

I’m all about hiring the right pros when you need them, but I also understand that people like to feel selfsufficient and do things for themselves. I’m a big believer in doing things right, but that also means doing them safe. For that, you need to be educated and learn the proper way to work with tools. No. 1 is your safety. Make sure you have the proper gear to be doing the work you’ll be doing, and also using the tools you’ll be using. That usually includes a pair of safety glasses, a respirator, proper gloves, footwear and maybe ear protection (if there’s going to be loud machinery or tools being used). Even if other people will be doing the work — let’s say you hired landscapers or someone to build you a deck or a fence — but you will be in the area where they will be working, maybe checking out the work yourself, you should be wearing all the proper gear as if you’re doing the work yourself. It’s meant to protect you on any active job site. What you wear is also very important. By that, I mean wearing workpants made from a tough material, like canvas, or even jeans if it’s just a simple DIY project like drywall repairs or painting. But absolutely no shorts! Even if it’s just yard work, you want to protect your legs. So after we take care of safety, let’s look at tools. Every homeowner should have some basic knowledge

ALEX SCHULDTZ/The T Holmes Group The

It is a wise idea for all homeowners to have a basic understanding of different tools, their uses and their general safety, whether or not you are a do-it-yourself type. about tools — not necessarily to renovate their home themselves, but maybe for smaller projects, like hanging a picture, changing a door, building a shelf, or maybe even doing some interlocking stonework outside. Having a general knowledge about tools — whether you use them or not — is healthy.

There are the basic tools that most homeowners will know, like a tape measure, level, drill, screwdriver and hammer. But then there are other tools that aren’t so straightforward. For example, a reciprocating saw. This is a tool that most homeowners will not need to use themselves because it goes beyond DIY. It’s

usually used during demos because it lets you cut materials that aren’t located in easily accessible areas. A jigsaw is a tool that you use more for finished carpentry, because it allows you to cut curves and circles and get into more detailed cutting. But you can’t use it to cut tiles or masonry. A mason chisel is another

tool that you’ll see on any job site that involves masonry work. It’s a hardened steel chisel used to chip away or break masonry, stone or concrete. A plumb-bob is an oldschool tool. You’ve probably seen it before in a photo or movie. It’s basically a heavy weight on the end of a string used to make sure that something is vertically level or plumb, just using gravity. If you’ve ever seen anyone do any kind of drywall work you’ve probably seen a hawk. It looks like a large, metal flat plaque that holds your mud or plaster, so you can trowel with the other hand. (So you can scrape off the compound easily and apply your mud.) A multi-purpose cutter is basically a pair of heavyduty scissors used to cut through tough materials, like sheet metal, so it’s not too often that a homeowner will need to use a pair. But they might find a number of uses for a C-clamp. A C-clamp is a clamp that is in the shape of a C, and it’s usually used to press and hold two materials together while they bond, like two pieces of wood for a shelf or a frame. If you’ve ever done finished carpentry or cabinetry work, you’ve probably used a C-clamp at some point. Knowing about different tools is just smart, but using them safe is necessary. Learning about different tools and the right (and wrong way) to use them never hurts, but if you don’t know how to do something safe, always leave it to the pros. Watch Mike in his new series, Home Free, airing Wednesdays on HGTV. For more information, visit makeitright.ca.

NATIONAL POST Urban cats are often kept indoors, both for their own safety and to keep birds and small critters from becoming lunch. But our furbabies still want to climb trees, to be up high and hidden among the leaves. Catsplay. com has indoor alter natives — the one pictured is the Seedling Cat Tree. It’s a real tree branch (a natural scratching post), with silk leaves, a platform, a comfy perch and a customizable medallion ($249 US). Or try the Sprout, also 36 inches tall but without a platform, $189; or go all out with a house and four platforms at 84 inches high, ($1,299). Because each is handmade, delivery time might reach six weeks ... so maybe it’s best to start thinking about a Thanksgiving gift for Fluffy in honour of your friendship. She may even deign to thank you with a nuzzle.

CATS T PLAY TS

Indoor cats get a taste of the great outdoors with faux trees made from real tree branches, which do double duty as natural scratching posts.

D E C O R AT I N G

Cleaning house and moving forward JURA KONCIUS THE WASHINGTON TTON POST In late 2013, Kerra Michele Huerta’s design business was taking off. Her budg et decorating hacks, which she illustrated on her Apartment Envy blog using her own 560-square-foot, one-bedroom rental in Washington’s Dupont Circle neighbourhood, were plastered all over the Internet, pinned and shared and blogged millions of times. Her calendar was filled with design clients: anxious city dwellers who hired her bythe-hour for strategies on how to replicate her DIY-chic look while personalizing their own spaces. She got a gig decorating an apartment in Paris and an offer for a book deal It all sounds glamorous. But in reality, parts of her life were unravelling. Her marriage broke up and her husband moved out. Twinkie, her beloved Pomeranian, took ill and died. Everything felt different. “The energy of the space had changed,” says Huerta, 32. The stuff in her apartment reminded her of the past: “Lots of good things and sad things, just lots of memories.” Months went by. “I felt like I was treading water,” she says. Finally, she knew what she had to do: clean house and move forward. In June 2014, she put an ad on Craigslist: “Designer apartment. Everything must go. Cash and carry.” In six days, she sold almost every single thing in her place: the arc floor lamp, the cowhide rug, the king-sized bed and mattress. (She would be switching to a queen so she could change up her layout.) “It felt good,” she says. “My apartment felt old to me. I wanted something fresh,” she says. “All the spaces I was decorating now were completely different. A lot of stuff reminded me of my old life. I wanted to be my own person.” There were only a few things that Huerta kept: a brightly coloured upholstered chair, a small wood cabinet, kitchen storage baskets and some of her artworks. She also kept

Huerta kept the bedroom all one colour to unify it, going with the dramatic Ralph Lauren Black Dose.

Kerra Michele Huerta was inspired by the colours in this consignment shop painting over the fireplace when she redecorated her rental apartment. the two Ikea Billy bookcases on either side of the fireplace: “They fit perfectly, and who wants to reassemble Ikea furniture?” she says. Then she slowly made a plan. She would take her midcentury-influenced apartment in a more feminine direction, keeping a modern edge but mixing in more flea-market finds and a bit of art deco and Regency. She describes it as “a little Old Hollywood glamour mixed with some New Hollywood boho.” It was a $140 contemporary painting from a consignment shop she hung above her fireplace that gave her the colour scheme for the new place: emerald, aqua, teal and mint green, plus the crisp combination of black and white. She wanted each room to be dif different, but she used the same colour palette throughout to tie it all together. She carefully rebuilt her rooms between decorating jobs, devising new budgetminded ways to put her stamp on a tiny rental. She chose thoughtfully, layering things she loved and could afford. It took almost a year, but after many Etsy searches, Amazon purchases, thrift-shop sojourns and even one trip to the Greyhound station in a Zipvan to retrieve two eBay bergere

chairs shipped from Florida, she was ready for her reveal. T he living room got a warmer look. She bought a Movie Queen Sleeper from CB2 ($1,499 US), for guest accommodations, promptly having it recovered in $38-a-yard emerald green velvet to make it her own. A $300 flokati rug from eBay gave the living room a softer look. Her parties now are usually cocktail buffets, so she doesn’t need a big dining table or lots of dining chairs. She picked out a small gold bamboo table with a glass top that floats in the room. A Lucite console table by the entry has two garden stools stashed underneath that can be pulled out for seating or as extra side tables. Upstairs, one of her most dramatic DIY improvements was covering up the old cracked, yellowed tile in the bathroom. She used a vinyl floor covering in a vintagestyle black-and-white tile pattern, Stargazer by Spicher and Co., to brighten the bath. She kept the bedroom all one colour to unify it, since it has nine doors in it, but instead of the old taupe colour, she went with the more dramatic Ralph Lauren Black Dose. “I like dark bedrooms. They provide a sanctuary with drama,” she says.

Huerta’s redesigned bathroom has a cool new DIY floor. Unhappy with the cracked and yellowing old tile, she bought a vinyl floor cloth and cut it to fit the space using a box cutter. A former closet that she had turned into a dressing room became a stylish little office. She furnished it with a trash-picked filing cabinet painted pink and a glammedup Ikea desk. At the top of the stairs hangs a large frame with a favourite line from indie band Pavement’s song Shady Lane that she scrawled on a piece of art paper. “I am an island of such great complexity.” Of course, it’s in a reused black frame from Michael’s.

A Lucite waterfall console table provides space for two garden stools. The stools can be pulled up to the dining table or used as extra seating or tables in the living room.

A TV with an articulating arm becomes part of a gallery wall in Huerta’s stylish living room.

GET THE LOOK 9 budget tricks from Kerra Michele Huerta

1. Trade out a tacky bathroom floor without a renovation. Using

a box cutter, Huerta cut a $260 vinyl floor cloth to fit the bathroom floor exactly and simply laid it on top of the cracked tiles. The blackand-white Stargazer pattern is by Spicher and Co.

3. Hide your thermostat. That

ugly plastic box is a pox on your dining room wall. Huerta covered it with a shallow basket made in Rwanda ($40), from Salt & Sundry at Union Market.

4. Dip furniture in gold for an instant upgrade. An ordinary

2. Find creative ways to use storage solutions in a small space. Huerta hung two Ikea Ribba picture ledges ($9.99 each), in the bathroom, installing them upside down to provide more surface area for toiletries.

Ikea Micke desk ($79.99), was DIY glamorized with a bit of gold paint on the legs. Huerta says it adds personality and makes it look more expensive. She painted it in her alley before assembling it.

5. Turn trash to treasure. Huerta trash-picked an old metal filing cabinet and transformed

it with a few coats of Pink Peony by Benjamin Moore. It’s great storage for shoes and bags, in addition to files. The hardware was spray painted gold.

6. Make your own headboard.

Using pine boards from Home Depot, an old memory foam mattress pad, white faux leather (insidefabric.com), and a staple gun, Huerta made herself a custom channelled headboard. Cost: $200. (You could do it for less if you used a less expensive fabric.)

7. Hide your TV on a gallery wall. Downsizing to a 22-inch TV, Huerta incorporated it on a wall in the living room in the midst of a group of black

framed artworks. The articulating arm makes for easy viewing.

8. Camouflage an ugly appliance.

A hulking old refrigerator is a staple in rentals. She not only covered hers in chic L’Amour Black and White Tempaper (removable wallpaper), she left off the unsightly old handles, and now opens it by grabbing the edge.

9. Paint the front door. Build-

ing rules prohibit her from painting the outside of her front door, but by painting the inside mint (Stardust Memories by True Value), Huerta added a splash of colour to the dining area.

After taking off the cabinet doors in her kitchen, Huerta painted the kitchen shelves mint. She saved the doors for when she moves. Below the shelves is temporary wallpaper.
