IN YOUR HOME

IS THE INSIDE OF YOUR HOME STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A RAINFOREST? TOO MUCH MOISTURE DOESN’T ONLY MAKE THINGS UNCOMFORTABLE – IT CAN ALSO LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR HOME AND YOUR HEALTH. Signs that there may be too much moisture include condensation on windows, wet stains on walls and ceilings, and musty odours.

If you’ve noticed any of these red flags, read on to find out more about what can happen and what you can do about it.

BLOOR WEST VILLAGE

NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TOO MUCH MOISTURE Too much moisture over time can lead to unfortunate, and sometimes serious, conditions that can be costly to correct, such as: • Warping wood in floors and furniture • Peeling paint and stains on walls and ceilings • Dust mites and mould If you own a newly built home, the new home warranty from your builder and backed by Tarion will not cover these types of conditions if they are the result of improper maintenance. This is why you need to take control of the situation.

Really charming home on generous lot with private drive and pristine garage. Original detail with modern upgrades in this home.

Lots of space for family living. Separate private entrance to walk up basement with loads of potential. Wonderful neighbourhood and steps to schools, shops and transportation.

Follow the instructions to get the most accurate reading of the humidity level in your home. Generally, you want the indoor humidity level to be between 30 and 50%.

WAYS TO REDUCE HUMIDIT Y LEVEL There are several ways you can reduce your indoor humidity level if it’s too high. The best option is to get a dehumidifier. They do exactly what the name implies — remove humidity from the air.

OTHER ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE INCLUDE:

• Removing items, like heavy curtains or furniture, that are blocking windows • Using the range hood fan while cooking • Using the bathroom fan when showering and leaving it on for some time afterwards Maintaining proper humidity levels in your home is easy to do, and the benefits are definitely worth it.

TESTIMONIAL

Nutan Brown has helped me locate two of my homes. The last move was during Covid. A challenge for sure! Nutan was always professional, yet extremely friendly. She listened to my needs and wants. She was patient and I never felt rushed during a viewing.

I can never express how grateful I am to have Nutan’s expertise on my real estate team.

How to STYLE SHELVES BEAUTIFULLY

Article by Staci Edwards Design | Photography by Stephani Buchman

GET TOO MANY THINGS I’m starting with the best tip first here – This will make your life soooo much easier. The first step is to gather all of your items, and it’s always best to have too much. Styling takes some zhushing, so as you’re styling, you may find you need a little of this and a little of that. It’s always good to have too many things to swap things out to see what looks best as you are styling. Most stores have a pretty decent return policy, so you can return what you don’t use. You’re welcome.

ADD SOME HEIGHT

STYLING SHELVES CAN BE TRICKY. Honestly, it just takes trial and error to get it right. There are some great tips and tricks to make the process easier, and today I’m going to share mine with you. So, if you plan to style your shelves or need to make some adjustments to something you’ve already done but not sure what, you’re sure to find this post super helpful!

HERE ARE MY FIVE TIPS FOR STYLING SHELVES BEAUTIFULLY…

Having everything at the same height can make things look pretty dull. Layering different items such as artwork at various sizes, stacking things on top of books, adding other height vases, and stacking boxes will allow the eye to travel around more, therefore, creating some visual interest.

INCORPOR ATE SOFTER TEXTURES Most people tend to style their shelves with the usual – Books, pictures, and candles. The problem with this is that all of these are hard surface items, and when placed on your hard surface shelves, everything looks very… You guessed it… Hard. Adding things like textured accessories, baskets, and plants will add the softness and interest you need when styling your shelves.

ADD COLOUR OR CONTR AST If you love colour, be sure to add some, and if not, mix up your neutrals by using contrast. Having colour and contrast in items like artwork, vases, and other accessories on your shelves creates depth and interest, which is a must-have for any shelf.

SPRINKLE IN A BIT OF SHINE Shine is something I always use and recommend when styling shelves. It doesn’t have to look “blingy” or “glam” either (unless you’re into that sort of look, then go for it). Small touches of metal (silvers, golds, or a mix of both) and glass go a long way. Shine adds another layer of unique texture that will really help your shelf styling look great. ◆

She encourages her clients to live easier and more beautiful lives by creating well designed, welcoming spaces, that are both livable and luxurious. /staciedwards • StaciEdwardsDesign.com

RECIPE

A GREAT CATCH

Tacos

TO INCLUDE IN YOUR

RECIPE TIP

The leftover pickled red onion will keep in your fridge for up to two weeks. Use in salads and sandwiches – you can even use the pickling liquid in salad dressings and savoury cocktails.

DIRECTIONS STEP ONE FOR THE PICKLED RED ONION: Pack red onion snugly into 1-cup (250 mL) canning jar with tight-fitting lid. Bring vinegar, sugar, coarse salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water to a boil in small saucepan. Carefully pour mixture over red onion; cover with lid and screw on band to seal. Let stand at least 20 minutes. You can make this ahead and refrigerate for up to two weeks.

STEP TWO FOR THE SLAW: Stir together fennel, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, sugar, salt and pepper in bowl. Stir in 2 tbsp (30 mL) chives. Set aside.

TACOS ARE ALWAYS A WIN, BUT LOBSTER TACOS WITH A CRUNCHY POTATO-CHIP TOPPING? NOW THAT’S JUST GENIUS. Look for lobster tail skewers that are prepped for you and ready to grill, so you don’t have to worry about the messy business. Whip up the pickled red onion ahead of time to get these tacos in your belly even faster.

LOBSTER TACOS WITH FENNEL SLAW + CRUSHED POTATO CHIPS

Prep Time: 30 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins

INGREDIENTS FOR THE PICKLED RED ONION • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced • 1/4 cup (60 mL) cider vinegar • 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) granulated sugar • 3/4 tsp (4 mL) each coarse salt, black peppercorns and mustard seeds

FOR THE TACOS • Half fennel bulb, cored and very thinly sliced • 3 tbsp (45 mL) mayonnaise • 1 tsp (5 mL) grated lemon zest • 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lemon juice • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) granulated sugar • Pinch (0.5 mL) each salt and black pepper • 3 tbsp (45 mL) chopped fresh chives, divided • 1 pkg (200 g) PC lemon and butter grilling lobster tail skewers • 4 corn tortillas • 4 to 6 plain thick-cut or kettle-cooked potato chips, lightly crushed

STEP THREE Preheat grill to medium. Oil grill.

Arrange lobster skewers, shell side down, on grill. Cook, lid down, 22 to 24 minutes, turning once, until opaque throughout. Remove lobster meat from shells and skewers. Cut each tail into four pieces; keep warm.

STEP FOUR Grill or pan-fry tortillas over mediumhigh heat, turning once, until slightly puffed and lightly toasted; 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to serving plates.

STEP FIVE FOR THE TACOS: Top tortillas with fennel mixture and lobster, dividing evenly. Top each with 1 tbsp (15 mL) drained pickled red onions. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) chives and the potato chips, dividing evenly. newscanada.com

ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH STONE PAVERS IS WEEDS. TO KEEP YOUR STONE PAVERS WEED FREE, HERE ARE SOME EASY AND EFFECTIVE ORGANIC TECHNIQUES. 1 / CLOVE OIL MIXTURE A mixture of vinegar and clove oil is very effective in removing weeds. To prepare, take a container of 5 litre capacity, and mix 600 ml clove oil with 2.5 litre of 20% strong vinegar.

Fill the rest of the container with clean water.

Mix the solution so that it becomes homogenous. To use, take around 1 litre of solution in a garden sprayer and spray at the roots of the weeds. The strong active elements in the solution burn and kill the weeds. This will ensure that your stone driveway is free of weeds for several months.

KEEP YOUR STONE PAVER WEED-FREE 18

Rewards

Before you use the organic solution, conduct a spot test to ensure that the vinegar does not bleach the stone paver. Spray diluted vinegar on an inconspicuous 2’ x 2’ patch on your stone paver. Wait for a few hours and check for any discolouration. If you don’t see any difference on the paver, you can do ahead with the treatment.

2 / CALCIUM CHLORIDE OR ROCK SALT For effective weed removal, you should use the pellet form of Calcium chloride or rock salt.

Sprinkle the salt of calcium chloride granules on the soil where weeds grow. Once done, spray water on the pellets using a garden sprayer and avoid flooding the area. You need to repeat spraying water on three consecutive days if the weather is very dry and on three alternate days if the humidity is high.

3 / CALL US, WE CAN HELP If you plan to use readymade weed removal agents, make sure that they are non-toxic.

This safety measure is very essential if you have kids or pets at home. With a bit of effort, you can maintain the beauty of your stone patio, paver driveway, or interlocking walkway. If you prefer the expertise of a professional landscaper, contact GTA Landscaping and we’ll help you maintain your outdoor living space. ◆ gtalandscaping.com
