EDITORS NOTE Is Spring finally here? While I appreciated the Winter’s temperatures for the most part, March sure came in like a lion! Spring may not have “sprung” yet, but it is around the corner!

Spring has a way of encouraging us to move forward, make changes and achieve results.

CON TE NTS

Let us know on Instagram if you’re doing renovations. We love before and afters!

HOMES + C O V E R S H O W C A S E

In the quaint village of Glen Morris, steps from the Grand River lies a “Century Stone Georgian Style Manor” nestled on .82 acre lot.

Built in 1862, the majestic home plays homage to a buy gone era when craftsmanship was the hallmark of structural masterpiece. The Christopher Latshaw house is a 2 storey home of the field stone architectural style.

The facade of the home is symmetrical presenting a centre gable, centre door and large sash windows. Connected to the house is a specious (recently renovated) tiled & heated 3.5 car garage - perfect for the car buff or someone needing extra space for their toys.

As you enter the front foyer, one can’t help but notice the beautiful bevelled glass windows framing the large front door and the exquisite ornate light fixture.

The wide main staircase with its detailed woodwork falls in the middle of the foyer.

The Grand Living Room, (a Ballroom in the past) features 11.5 ft ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, ornate moldings & cornices & the original “Belgian

8

Fireplace” that highlights this formal room. The spacious formal dining room with wide plank pine floors & oversized baseboards seats 10 + people comfortably. The large corner windows streams natural sunlight in this special room. To the rear of the house is a large country kitchen, with cherry cabinetry, island counter and a side walkout to the stone patio features the fire pit and BBQ. This home offers 2 offices, perfect for those working at home or looking for a quiet place to read.

The generous Family Room off the kitchen offers newer flooring, built in wooden cabinetry and a beautiful wood burning fireplace. The side wall features wall to wall garden doors that open up to a huge deck overlooking the inground pool and the rear yard with spectacular views of the pastures beyond!

On the upper level - this country haven features a large Primary Bedroom, huge walk in closet and ensuite. A few steps away are additional 3 bedrooms and a large 4 piece bath.

Every room comes equipped with large windows sharing views of the rural properties and green pastures.

The lower level (added over the

GETMOVINGNOW.CA

years) includes a 3 pc bath and a large room which opens up to a beautifully manicured yard and pool.

Entertain on the the newly built deck or enjoy the lazy days of summer by the heated pool. While much of this gracious home has retained the original 19th century architecture, several mechanical updates have been completed! The Century home is perfect for the outdoor adventurer.

Located just minutes from the Grand River, this rural property provides ample opportunities for hiking, canoeing, and fishing. Walking distance to schools.

This is a rare gem and one that must be seen to be believed.

DESIGN YOUR OWN

Marla Jutras Design Studio Consultant

Home Oasis

Meet Marla – Our expert Design Studio consultant here to help you select luxurious upgrades for your powder room and primary bathroom ensuite. Continue reading as she provides the best tips and tricks for designing a luxurious at-home oasis you will love!

Creating a bathroom sanctuary with spa-like upgrades is on people’s radar and will continue to be for years to come!

We spend a lot of time in our bathrooms, so choosing a more luxurious design tailored to you and your needs is essential and will be a great long-term investment. Check out these popular upgrade trends we are seeing for new homes in 2023!

F L OAT I N G VA N I T Y Wall-mounted bathroom vanities are gaining popularity due to their functionality and supreme design! A floating vanity mounts to the wall and ‘floats’ mid-air. Its levitating appearance makes the space feel larger while showing off your unique floor tile – however, it doesn’t take away from providing sufficient storage for your toiletries. You can showcase attractive hand towels, toiletries, and flowerpots on the countertop for added elegance.

Q UA RT Z C O U N T E RT O P S You can’t go wrong with the perfect duo of a floating vanity and quartz countertops. This style has gained popularity in kitchens and has been diversely used in bathrooms! A quartz countertop allows for easier maintenance and is much more visually appealing than a laminate material countertop. Playing with contrasting shapes and textures is a great way to liven up a neutral palette in your bathroom!

Plus, choosing quartz countertops for your bathroom will ensure that the focal point of your space is durable and easy to clean.

28

S OA K E R T U B Promote relaxation and reduce stress with a luxury soaker tub. Not only will this bring visual interest to your primary ensuite, but it will also transform the room into a spa-like oasis! While it looks beautiful, a soaker tub offers many health benefits, such as soothing tired muscles and joints and reducing anxiety and tension.

E N C AU S T I C T I L E S Encaustic tiles have returned from the ornate Victorian era, and we love this new revival trend! These patterned ceramic floor tiles offer your bathroom a fresh and bold design. Make your powder room pop with a fun and colourful tile pattern, or add encaustic tiles to your shower walls for visual interest in your primary ensuite!

Are you bold enough to make such a splash?

LIGHTING The bathroom is the best place to start when looking for ways to brighten up a space in your home. Extra pot lights can make all the difference, especially if this is the place you are getting ready. Adding pot lights in your shower or around your tub are also ideal locations and can give a spa-like feel to your bathroom. Plus, extra lighting in your bathrooms that don’t have a window will show off the room’s beautiful finishes!

T I L E B A S E S H OW E R S A tile-based shower is a type of shower constructed using tiles as the primary material for the shower walls and floor. In a tile-based shower, individual tiles are laid on a waterproof backing material to create a watertight, durable, and easy-to-clean surface. The tiles can be made from various materials, such as ceramic, porcelain, stone, or glass, and can be installed in multiple patterns and designs to create a custom look!

R A D IA N T F L O O R H E AT I N G Installing radiant floor heating in your bathroom brings a spa-like serenity. This luxurious feature enhances your steam shower experience by creating warm airspace around the shower and tub for a more comforting and relaxing feel, especially on cold winter mornings! You can rely on your radiant heated flooring to eliminate the cold bathroom tiles when getting out of your steamy shower or bath.

R A I N S H OW E R H E A D S Swapping your shower head for a rain shower is one of the easiest ways to upgrade your bathroom! The rain shower head mounts to the ceiling and sprinkles water that feels like a drizzle of rain. Not only will it add style to your bathroom design, but it will also create a rainforest, spa-like feel. This feature works great for oversized showers and would look perfect in your ensuite bathroom.

S H OW E R N I C H E A shower niche can be a practical addition to any shower!

This tiny detail is surprisingly significant in how well your shower functions. It eliminates the need for caddies or other storage solutions that can take up valuable space and create clutter in the shower. It also helps keep the area organized and clean, as all your products will be stored within easy reach. Consider incorporating a unique tile into the shower niche for a more dramatic look.

C E I L I N G H E I G H T M I R RO R S A large mirror will visually heighten the room and make it look bigger. Ceiling-height mirrors reflect natural and artificial light by accentuating and brightening the space while looking stylish.

Two of the most important rooms within a home are the kitchen and bathroom. Designing these rooms is particularly challenging because we want to create an environment that aligns with functionality, comfort, and style. The choices of colours, materials, textures and layout are essential to create a space that looks and feels highend and is long-lasting.

TIPS FOR A

Designer

Kitchen

&

Bath

Shauna Lynn Simon Beyond The Stage Homes

Frequency of use and level of sun exposure are factors to consider when choosing the colours of your cabinetry. Lighter cabinetry colours such as whites, creams, beiges, or lighter greys can fade or discolour with sun exposure. So, don’t be afraid to go bold with colour! Add drama and interest to your home’s kitchen by opting for darker shades or more colourful hues – this can make your kitchen look incredible and improve its durability.

The Kitchen For many, the kitchen is the home’s heart, where family and friends gather for meals or conversation. It is a space that is used a lot throughout the day, and because of that, facilitating maintenance is one of the top aspects to keep in mind. For easier maintenance and cleaning, opt for slab doors. Detailed door profiles accumulate spills, dust and food particles that cannot be easily collected.

An additional factor to focus on that is very important when planning your kitchen renovation is proportion. For kitchens with higher ceiling heights, select fixtures proportionate in size to the overall space – including lighting, cabinetry hardware, and faucets. Ceiling height cabinetry is a great way to add visual height and create the feeling of a larger kitchen. It is also perfect for storing seasonal items or seldom-used kitchen supplies.

You must focus on adding light to your space. One way of doing that is incorporating large windows for more natural light, if possible. Another way to do that is by adding wall-to-wall mirrors to reflect light and include decorative lighting such as wall sconces or even recessed lighting.

The kitchen island brings everything together, so it is essential to determine its function. Will it have a sink and dishwasher? Range or cooktop? An overhang with stools for seating/dining?

This will determine the flow of your kitchen and create a purpose for each area.

The Bathroom Your bathroom should be treated as an extended living space. We spend a lot of time in our bathrooms and incorporating furniture, wall art, and décor can create a cozy, inviting atmosphere at the beginning and end of your day or for guests and visitors to enjoy.

When planning your bathroom’s design, you must think long-term and consider how the finishes you select will age with time. This is why you should always opt for timeless finishes that you will continue to love for years to come - especially for more permanent items such as floor tile, wall tile and vanities.

An additional tip is using open storage. It is the perfect place for baskets, bath towels and everyday items you constantly look for.

You can elevate the look of your Kitchen & Bath in many ways. Whether you are considering a complete renovation or simply incorporating design concepts into your home, you can keep these tips in mind to create a timeless look.

Modern Bathroom

If you’ve been living with a dated bathroom, modern fixtures and decor may be top of mind for your next renovation project.

Choosing the right fixtures that compliment not only your design but also your lifestyle can be tricky and overwhelming. To help achieve your goals, we’ve put together a list of our top fixtures that will be sure to breathe new life and a modern flair into your bathroom.

LEZ FAUCET If you’re on the market for a more mainstream faucet option, the Lez Single Hole Bathroom Faucet is the perfect solution. Featuring a sleek and modern single-handle design and metal construction built for durability and dependability, the Lez faucet will stand out as a unique and stylish centerpiece for your newly designed bathroom.

Choose between the classic Polished Chrome and the modern Matte Black finishes for a personalized addition.

1. FAUCETS Bathroom faucets are widely known as the “crown jewel” of bathroom designs. Similar to lighting fixtures, faucets bring the necessary sparkle and flair to these functional spaces so it’s important to shop strategically:

2. SHOWERS & TUBS If you’re looking to create an inviting spa-like space, then choosing the right shower/tub combination is key.

Bathing sets the tone for our day, while also preparing us for a good night’s rest in the evening, so it’s important to consider which features matter most before making that final decision.

STUDIO S FAUCETS The Studio S Bathroom Collection is a full-suite solution inspired by the cool, modern look of urban spaces.

Featuring faucets, sinks, toilets, shower systems, vanities and accessories, this collection draws you in with its sleek lines, minimalist appeal and high quality finishes.

The Studio S Widespread Bathroom Faucet with Lever Handles is a metropolitan update for modern bathrooms with its simple yet elegant design. WaterSense certified, this eco-conscious faucet saves up to 32% on water when compared to standard faucets, and the handles operate smoothly with drip-free performance you can rely on for years to come.

considerations, it’s also key to take into account the technological advancements in recent years that have completely transformed what we know to be the traditional toilet:

CHAMPION TOILET COLLECTION

SPECTRA FILTERED SHOWER SYSTEM With health and wellness at top of mind for most when redesigning their bathroom, the Spectra Filtered Hand Shower System is a great selection for modern design and functionality. Featuring a state-of-the-art filtration system to reduce up to 50% of chlorine in your shower water, this allows for a much more enjoyable bathing experience while also helping keep your skin and hair healthy.

Pair Spectra with the Studio S Freestanding Soaking Tub for a relaxing retreat right in the comfort of your own home. Spaciously designed for deep soaking comfort, the Studio S Tub is sure to bring peaceful beauty to any bathroom. It also features a center drain to allow for a relaxing soak from either end.

The Champion Toilet Collection features superior flushing performance for a virtually clog-free toilet. Equipped with the industry’s largest 4-inch flush valve and extra wide trapway, Champion Toilets eliminate waste quickly with no clogging areas. This innovative collection is sure to provide you with the style, functionality and reliability you’ll need in transforming your bathroom space.

VORMAX TOILET COLLECTION Another innovative toilet collection that has completely reinvented the flush is the VorMax Toilet Collection.

Traditional toilets feature rim holes around the inside of the bowl that deliver water during a flush cycle.

However, by removing this feature and replacing it with one powerful jet of water that scrubs the entire bowl’s surface, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your toilet will be fully clean the first-flush-around.

STUDIO S TOILETS

3. TOILETS Believe it or not, toilets are one of the most important fixtures in any bathroom. Not only do they provide an essential function, but they can also be an attractive piece of furniture that adds style and comfort to your space. Although the size, shape and style are important

44

If you’re on the market for a modern toilet option, the Studio S Skirted Toilet and the Studio S Low-Profile Toilet both feature a minimalist design for the perfect toilet refresh. Equipped with a concealed trapway, these toilet options have an integrated, skirted base, providing a sleeker, cleaner aesthetic. They are also much easier to clean than traditional models as the surface eliminates those hard-to-reach curves and crevices where dirt hides.

4. BIDETS If you’re looking to elevate your current bathroom experience, an American Standard SpaLet Bidet is the perfect selection. Not only do these bidet seats and full toilets allow you to enjoy enhanced hygiene and personal comfort, but this refreshing technology is easy to use and available in several models to exceed your cleansing preferences.

The SpaLet Bidet Toilet Seats are a great choice for those looking to enhance their current toilet as they fit most conventional elongated toilet models. Equipped with an intuitive remote control, you can enjoy all of the cleansing and comfort features, from a heated seat, to the water massage.

For a full upgrade, the Advanced Clean 100 SpaLet Bidet combines the cleansing of a bidet with the sleek lines of a modern, auto-flush toilet. Featuring dual nozzles that direct a soothing stream of warm water to both front and rear areas, it delivers a uniquely refreshing experience with modern technology and style.

There is nothing better than a bathroom that makes you feel good, and fixtures play an important role in achieving this. The above are just a small starting point for your remodeling project, but be sure to browse different modern bathroom collections to find the products that work best for you and your space.
