Be Inspired at the BC Home + Garden Show Retro wallpapers, edgy rustic furniture and gold in everything from hardware to toss cushions are just some of the hottest trends you’ll be seeing at the BC Home + Garden Show 2015 at BC Place Stadium from February 18-22, 2015. Whether building, buying, renovating or selling your home or maybe you just want to gaze longingly at some cool furniture and products, make your way to this year’s much anticipated show. “The BC Home + Garden Show has everything you need for design, renovation, lifestyle and landscaping – all under one roof,” says Tyson Kidd, manager of the BC Home + Garden Show. Every year, the show attracts record crowds – between 54,000 and 59,000 visitors. Many attend to collect inspiration or to discover the newest spring trends GO TO
REW.CA /NEWS TO READ THESE STORIES AND MUCH MORE REAL ESTATE NEWS AND ADVICE
in home and garden decor from renovation gurus such as: Janet Ewen, interior designer and frequent television guest, who will discuss quick and easy design elements and Bryan Baeumler from HGTV’s Leave It To Bryan to W Network’s Love It Or List It Vancouver presenter Todd Talbot, who will speak about piloting Vancouver’s uber-expensive real estate market. In addition, there will be hundreds of the industry’s finest Canadian renovation, decoration and landscaping specialists to answer your questions.
What? Gold … Really? For many baby boomers, the very idea that gold is back in kitchen and bathroom fixtures, hardware and even on your couch is enough to make them groan! Well, not to worry, says guest speaker at the show, interior
designer Karin Bohne. “It’s not that shiny, brassylooking gold that many people remember from the seventies and eighties,” adds Bohne, founder and principal of Moeski Design. “It’s a matte gold with a sleek contemporary finish.”
Wallpaper and Cushions Fellow interior designer Christine Friend agrees that these finishing touches are crucial. “I’ve noticed wallpaper is coming back in a huge way,” says Friend, owner of Friendly Decorator, who will offer up her best inexpensive tips and tricks during the show. “If you can’t afford pricey art work, find a gorgeous wallpaper pattern or a poster and frame it.” Her other economical ideas include purchasing a 22-inch filler for a 20-inch pillow cover to create a plush cushion or adding a

rustic tray filled with different sized candles or antique pieces.
Structural Elements During the show, Bohne will be on the main stage helping homeowners get that million-dollar look they yearn for – but for a lot less. One of the easiest ways to do that is by adding wider, longer, more detailed moldings and baseboards throughout your home. “Whether you are renovating or selling there are key elements that will help elevate the look of your home and they don’t cost thousands,” she adds.
For more information on the 42nd annual BC Home + Garden Show, February 18 - 22, visit www. bchomeandgardenshow.com or call 604-639-2288.
Ask the Expert: What Items Are Adjusted on Closing Purchase?
Karin and Christine’s Top Trend Tips • Lighting size – bigger is better: Let your light fixture be the statement piece. • Wood flooring is going lighter: Honey oak, natural tones right up to medium hues in a matte finish. However, the wide plank is still very much in vogue! • There’s a global approach to design: Think beautifully inspired Indian textures and fabrics, a gorgeous, colourful Moroccan area rug or a Chinese sculpture • Modern to mid-century elements: Modern elements will intertwine their way into 2015 décor in a big way. • Tufted upholstered high headboards with deep buttons or reclaimed wood headboards are all the rage in 2015.

EVOLVE: THE GROWTH OF AFFORDABLE SOPHISTICATION Evolve is set to become a landmark in Surrey City Centre. The stylish 35-storey glass high-rise, nestled in the pedestrianfriendly master planned community of West Village, will set a new standard in the revitalization of the city centre. Evolve is an exclusive collection of 406 concrete studio, one to two bedroom and two bedroom plus den open-concept homes which will feature 8’5”ceilings and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows to allow for plenty of natural light to stream in. The residences, ranging from 316 to 1,294 square feet, will also feature laminate wood flooring and spacious balco-
nies. “The penthouses will also feature an open rooftop deck,” adds Kiran Rai, Marketing Director MR Platinum Project Marketing Inc. The gourmet inspired kitchens highlight an Energy Star stainless steel appliance package, quartz countertops and backsplash, and soft-close hardware in both kitchens and bathrooms. Evolve is more than just a tower; it is part of the exciting West Village from award-winning developer WestStone Group. Within minutes of the Civic Centre, Skytrain, community centre, City Hall, as well as cultural, entertainment and shopping opportunities, Evolve has more than 300 homes priced below $250,000 – arguably making it the best and most attractively priced new concrete high rise in the province. “At Evolve you are purchasing in a concrete building for less than the price of a wood frame building, which is basically unheard of,” says Rai. “Where can you buy a studio with a parking stall in a brand
new building for $93,900? It’s amazing.” In another first of its kind, prospective buyers now have the opportunity to view various floor plans from all angles, as well as viewing them fully furnished thanks to new technology being debuted by Platinum Project Marketing, and created by local tech gurus, Thin AiR Technologies. Because of this enhanced interactive-experience, prospective home buyers can visualize their new home environment from supplied iPads at the sales centre or even on their smartphones at home, as Evolve’s brochures, signage and literature all employ scannable markers that deliver augmented reality content. “For those traditional buyers who want to see the homes firsthand, they can visit our presentation centre and three fully furnished show suites,” adds Rai. Owners will also enjoy exclusive access to its Evolve’s own private SkyLounge. The building will showcase a fully equipped workout gym, theatre, a sky-high amenity room featuring a social room with a fully-
equipped kitchen and a stunning large rooftop patio area. This is the perfect setting to entertain friends and family. Evolve is the second of six towers to be built in West Village by WestStone Group. When West Village is fully developed, it will truly encompass work, live and play in one of the most exciting emerging city centres. The tentative completion date is slated for early 2018. This is your opportunity to live in a new home that melds the best of urban life, all for a price that is unheard of in Metro Vancouver. For more information, visit www. evolvecondos.com, call 604-497-0102 or email at info@evolvecondos.com. The Sales Centre and three show suites, located at 13328 104 Avenue, Surrey, are open daily from noon to 5 p.m. (Closed Fridays). Go to REW.ca for our full photo gallery of the penthouse tour and the building’s amenities, and for links to more information.
