EDITORS NOTE

O

ne of my favourite cottages in Ontario is a rustic cottage on Lake Couchiching. While it was my friend’s cottage, it represented putting all my worries aside to enjoy the sounds of water and wildlife filling my soul. Seriously though, I loved watching the party boats go to Big Chief Island and being entertained by the joy I heard when the boat returned that evening. If you’re one of the fortunate people to make the trek to get to your cottage every weekend, I envy you.

In this issue, we showcase beautiful cottage listings from realtors all around Ontario. We also have a lot of homes with backyards that are so close to cottage life that you’ll never want to leave it. Jo Alcorn provides yet another Backyard feature that will inspire you to create your very own oasis.

Summer is also a time to get creative! Our talented lead Graphic Designer, Lisa Totzke, shows off her skills by creating a chipmunk picnic table and provides step-by-step instructions on how to create your very own. We’d love you to see your work! Share your picture on Instagram using the hashtag #ChippysHOMES+ and tagging us at @homeplusmagazine.

From our majestic cover home, to our articles and all of our dedicated advertisers, we are always so proud to showcase and share the very best of our community. As a local business, we are huge proponents of supporting local businesses. Wherever you may be this Summer, please support those local businesses who are struggling financially as a result of the past two years.

Summer is custom-made for dreaming. Time to pull up that chaise lounge, grab a cool one, and enjoy cottage life or backyard living.

Summer Pavlova WITH FRESH FRUIT

DANA SHORTT Owner of Dana Shortt Gourmet & Gifts

INGREDIENTS

Pavlova consists of one or more meringue layers sandwiched and/or topped with whipped cream and fruit. The dessert was created and named in honour of the Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, who toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920’s, however the jury is still out on whether an Aussie or Kiwi can be credited with the first recipe.

4 largez egg 1 cup 1 1/3 tsp 1 tsp

Whites, at room temperature Sugar White vinegar Pure vanilla extract

1 1/3 tsp

Water

You can use fresh Ontario strawberries and/or berries when in season; tropical fruit like pineapple, mango, kiwi and starfruit work well in the winter months. Chopped up chocolate bars such as “Skor” can also be substituted for a chocolate version.

NEEDED TO ASSEMBLE 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, 35% Sugar and vanilla to taste Sresh fruit of your choice METHOD 1. Preheat oven to 400°F 2. Beat egg whites until really stiff. Then add all other meringue ingredients and beat again until stiff.

3. Line 2 baking sheets with lightly greased parchment paper.

4. Divide meringue in half and form two, 9 inch circles about the same size (one for each cookie sheet).

5. Place meringues in the oven and immediately turn off oven. Leave meringues in oven over night (I suggest that you attach a note on the oven that says “do not turn on!”)

NOTE: The meringue needs to be made one day in advance of serving.

Serves 6-8

6. In the morning, remove the meringues from oven and loosen from parchment paper.

Whip heavy cream until soft and billowy, adding sugar and vanilla to taste. Spread ½ of the whipped cream onto one disc of meringue, and top with ½ amount of fresh fruit. Place 2nd meringue on top, spread with remaining whipped cream and fresh fruit. This can be made in the morning for serving at dinner.

FOR SALE

ST CLEMENTS - CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION This spectacular custom residence is grand in every sense of the word – ornate finishes, top-end materials and premium touches span as far as the eye can see and across all three finished levels. A grand total of five bedrooms (including a bonus visitor’s suite on the lower level) and five bathrooms are featured here, all comfortably accommodated in over 5,000 square feet of finished living space.

This home in St. Clements sits on nearly half-an-acre in an idyllic rural Ontario setting; a mature residential enclave surrounded by rolling countryside and farmer’s fields, yet still only 10 minutes’ driving time from the diverse amenities of Waterloo. Towering ceilings, opulent marbles, stones and hardwoods, and beautiful new European-style windows grace every element of the interior and cover the sumptuous principal living spaces on the home’s main level. From the spectacular luxury kitchen with requisite butler’s pantry (an entertainer’s delight), to the elegant formal dining room, and from the cozy study/library to the family room’s fireplace, fine craftsmanship is on display everywhere you’ll cast your eyes.

An expansive sunroom with in-floor heating occupies the rear of the main level, accessible via french doors. The home’s primary suite is conveniently location on the main floor, too, and boasts the amenities you’d expect to find in a home of this calibre – a remarkable five-piece luxury ensuite bath, and an extensive walk-in closet with premium custom millwork. Heading upstairs, you’ll uncover an additional three wellproportioned bedrooms, plus two more full-size washrooms. The highlight here must be the third room with a five-piece ensuite bath of its own, as well as an attached study, walk-in closet, or music room (its purpose to be whatever the heart desires) – fit for a princess! Meanwhile, the fully-finished basement has been comprehensively updated in the past few years, and plays host not only to the aforementioned guest suite, but also a luxury wet bar with its own granite counters and appliances, a gym, a wine cellar with attached cold room, a sauna with its own shower and steamer, large storage space with more custom millwork, and a secret hidden room. Even the attached garage benefits from an executive treatment! With room for four vehicles, one side features tandem parking with pull-through to the rear yard, while a built-in lift is an ideal option for storing your summer ride. The heated garage contains even more custom cabinetry and storage as well. With a brand new boiler, furnace and septic system, big-ticket updates offer peace of mind as well. This home is truly a sight to behold!

Summer LA STYLE

Jo Alcorn Principle Designer Alcorn Home Design

in the

Canadian summers are short, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the months that you have. I took inspiration from a warmer climate, California, to transform a patio into an LA style getaway in the middle of Toronto. For those of you who are seeking inspiration to jazz up your small patio or balcony space, I have some fabulous design tips to help you get started.

City

Firstly, how do you want to use your space - lounging with friends, or dinner around a table with family? It is all about understanding your zones before you start designing or shopping. I opted for a living style hangout area, where I could sun on the sofa when I need to relax, but also have enough seating available for entertaining friends. I especially love sitting out with my husband and/or family with the propane fireplace and lights on at night. So cozy and romantic that adds extra living space and square footage to my main floor in the warmer months.

40

HOMES + D E S I G N

alive, switch to faux. If you have a green thumb, go real/ living all the way, but if that’s not there are some great faux options these days.

In small spaces try to stay away from adding to many different colours with plants and décor, keep it simple when it comes to your tones, rather add different textures for interest then colour. This will make it easy on the eyes giving the illusion of a larger area. I added a touch of pink for that punch which also tied in my interior style, extending the inside outside. I also feel in love with the cool casita sign for the back fence to really make the space POP!

Always keep in mind sizing, especially in a small space.

I choose to go with small profile L-shape sofa with lower backs so that I didn’t close in the space or make it seem cramped. The sectional also allowed me to use every inch I could for extra sitting options.

When dealing with a balcony in the city, privacy is always an issue. I created a modern free standing privacy fence with 1x6 wood bought from a local hardware store. I installed the boards horizontal to save on wood but to also create that more urban modern look which is a continuation from the inside to the out.

The final addition was a water fountain. Not just visually pleasing, the soft gurgling of the water gives the illusion of being near a lake and helps to drown out road traffic. It also happens to be a great conversation piece.

As you embrace the warmer months, get out and enjoy an extension of your home in the great outdoors. Let your creative juices flow as you create a perfect outdoor space for your entertaining or relaxing (or both!) needs.

Happy Patio Season!

I always start the season with a good refresh of my outdoor furniture. Due to lack of space I leave my furniture piece out there year long so it has to be touched up every once and a while due to weather wear. This spring I used Behr’s Pink Quartz for my Casita sign and Khaki Shade Spray paint to refresh my chairs. Just with a little elbow grease the pieces look brand new again!

I added two half umbrellas, not to block the sun, but to block the view of the neighbours above me and to create visual interest to the two zones. Taking away that fishbowl feel and creating a relaxing room.

Adding planters of different heights to any balcony helps to keep the space interesting. Choose low maintenance plants so you aren’t fussing with them all summer always makes the space looks put together. I ended up mixing ferns and succulents for ease. If you have trouble keeping plants

Getting your

Garden Blooming A guide to low maintenance Flowers, Plants and Shrubs.

Garden centres in our region are abundant with a variety of beautiful flowers, plants and shrubs. They have experts ready to answer all of your questions, and make the best recommendations for specific plants and where they will provide optimum blooming and health in your gardens.

At this time of year, we’re all excited to showcase the exterior of our homes.

Having eye-catching gardens with beautiful colours, and healthy plants for our own visual enjoyment is also sure to have your neighbours talking!

Here are some low maintenance flowers and plants to consider including perennial options to last for years to come.

44

FLOWERS Add colourful varieties of flowers and plants to your beds to make it more lively as it will pop against existing greenery already existing. The list below mentions the best, most colourful flowers including perennials and low maintenance varieties to thrive in your garden.

Cineraria: These plants should be in slightly acidic, rich, well-drained soil with a high compost content. Water regularly and keep the soil moist, not soggy. This variety comes in colours like pink, red, purple & blue.

Shrubs & Bushes Shrubs & bushes are the best way to even out your garden and add more greenery and privacy between yards! Adding love maintenance shrubs will simplify your life without worrying about your plants, but they still look fantastic to others passing by!

Lobelia: Soil has to stay very moist and never dry out. This plant will also need protection during brutally cold winters. It comes in many colours like many shades of blue, pink, lavender, and dark-purple.

Dwarf Alberta Spruce:

Bloody Cranesbill: Grows best in well-drained soils, this plant is also not fussy with the climate conditions. Colours, Purple/Magenta/White.

Forsythia: Plant forsythia where it will have plenty of room to grow and expand. They grow very fast, with 24 inches of new growth in one year.

Hosta or Plantain Lily:

Blue Star Juniper:

Should be watered moderately.

More frequent on very hot days, it also shouldnt be watered over the leaves.

JUL

Dwarf Alberta Spruce needs moist and well-drained soil; they are best suited for winter, last for years, and doesn’t grow very tall.

It grows best in well-drained soil, but it can ultimately survive in any condition. They are a very low maintenance plant .

Impatiens:

These plants are not drought tolerant, so they need to be watered regularly to keep the soil moist and prevent the plant from wilting. Colours are white, red, pink, violet, coral, purple, and yellow.

Franklin’s Gem Boxwood: These shrubs need rich, welldrained soil. After the third year of having it, the roots will be deep enough that it can take care of itself.

Hydrangea:

Peonies:

Best to plant hydrangeas is in a sheltered location with sunny mornings and shady afternoons.

Colours include pink to blue, including all shades of lavender to violet to purple and green and white.

These beautiful flowers like a well-drained soil. Colours are pink, red, orange, yellow, and white.

New

Construction

ADVICE FOR GOING THIS ROUTE Many buyers have found in the last few years that buying brand new construction is the way to go to avoid the resale market that is ripe with competition. However, there have been some new builds that have been known to have Julie D. Martin agents sleeping in their cars outside of their Real Estate Broker office waiting to add their client’s names to the waiting list. But…this article really isn’t about competition.

Let’s get to the points of what every buyer should know prior to buying a brand new home.

Make Sure You Have Your Own Realtor

Know which Upgrades to Choose

No different than buying resale, buyers benefit from having their own agent. If you walk into an open house for a resale home, you’d meet a Realtor representing the sellers.

Likewise, if you walk into a Show Room for a builder, keep in mind that you are meeting someone who may or may not be a licensed Realtor (as it isn’t a requirement for them to be a registrant in new construction if the person working in the show room is an employee of the builder, so it would be more like a “For Sale By Owner”). But, keep in mind that whoever is in that showroom, as friendly and as professional as they may be, they are working for the builder, not the buyers.

First of all, know when you’re going through the showroom which features are standard and which ones are upgrades. The showroom is where the builder chooses to show off all of the possible features that they can offer prospective buyers. Make sure that you’re not going through all “starry eyed” and getting wowed by everything you see because some upgrades are extremely costly. This is where having your own representative comes in handy. Some things are a better value than others. For example, having to pay to do pot lights after possession, once the dry wall is already closed up and painted is a lot more work and cost than doing it at the time of construction. However, paying thousands of dollars for an upgraded countertop may not be worth the hefty mark-up. And not everything is going to pay off for resale. Your own agent will be able to help sort through these decisions, making choices that will pay off in the long run.

Don’t Expect to “Get a Deal” We are still in the market where price reductions are not the norm. However, even in the hottest seller’s market, most builders do not factor in any discounts to their pricing.

Their pricing is usually what it is, period. The only changes to the price would be for any extra costs associated with upgrades that the buyer adds.

Choose the Best Lot Available

Get Your Lawyer to Review the Offer

When you’re buying a resale home, you may have to wait years to find a house that you like. When you finally find a house that you like, you may not love the lot. But, when you’re buying brand new construction, especially early on in the process, you are afforded the unique opportunity to choose your building lot. When this opportunity arises, go for the best one! Upgrades are something that can always be done later, but you can’t move the house within the neighbourhood. The cost of an upgraded lot is usually a fraction of what it would cost you later if you were purchasing resale. There are only so many ravine lots. Only so many lots that back onto a forest. Only so many that are overlooking the water or the farmer’s field. Only so many lots close to the park, or the school or the walking trail, etc. Whatever it is in the neighbourhood of where the new homes that are being built that is a draw for buyers. It's what sets the place apart from other communities. Do your best to get in on the best location within the neighbourhood. It will be money well spent, believe me!

A few years ago, I had some amazing clients that offered on their dream home. They had done some great research and found a builder that didn’t build a huge volume of homes, but everything they did was high quality. They had some very strange wording in their contract that their lawyer picked up on and explained to them in layman’s terms. We asked for the builder to amend the wording in the contract.

When they understood our concern, they were flexible and made the change. Builders usually use their own forms (not the standard forms provided by the Ontario Real Estate Association), so sometimes things can get missed or lost in translation. I was grateful that I had recommended that these clients have the lawyer review the contract prior to fulfilling their conditions, and I know they were too.

Remember, whatever you choose to do, whether it’s buying new or resale, make sure that you proceed with your eyes wide open. Don’t get too enamoured by beautiful furniture, rugs, flowers, artwork, window treatments, etc., as none of these things will be there the day you get the keys. And you want to make sure that your decision was based on factors that make up a wise real estate decision – LOCATION, LOT, and LAYOUT are the top 3 features I would be looking for if I were a buyer today.

Let’s build

Chippy his own

Picnic Table!

Lisa Totzke

Homes Plus Magazine, Design Lead

I have a resident “chippy” in my backyard so I thought I’d build him his very own spot to nibble on the goodies I leave out for him. Digging through my favourite idea file, I came across this cute little picnic table and it wasn’t hard to make (I even cut all the wood pieces myself)!

If you don’t have tools handy to cut the pieces to size yourself, you can always take your plan to the Home Depot and they’ll cut them down for you.

Here are the steps that I used to make this adorable little garden accent piece:

8”

1/2” Thick

Step 5 Lay out 3 of the 8”x1.75” pieces together making your tabletop. Mark with a pen where you will be placing the workhorse leg pieces. Take one of the workhorse pieces and secure with 3 screws.

What you’ll need before you start...

Steps 6-7 Take one of the 9”x1.25” Seat support pieces and secure to the workhorse piece aprox. halfway down.

A plastic dish, 19 x 1” wood screws and a screwdriver

Steps 1-3 Pre-drill holes into the support pieces that 1 2 3 attach the legs and the seat support pieces. They will be hidden on the underside of the table, so don’t worry about how they look.

Step 4 Screw the .75” square pieces to 2 of the 6”x1.25” pieces along the top edge making a “workhorse” shape. Repeat with the second set.

Steps 8-10 Repeat steps 5,6 & 7 on the other side. Be sure to check that the seat support on the opposite side is level so that your table doesn’t “wobble” once complete.

NOTE: Securing the second seat support is a little tricky because the other legs get in the way. I found that if I used the edge of the table I was working on as a support, that helped immensely!

Step 11 The last thing I did was attach a plastic bowl to the top so the seeds don’t make a big mess. (This step is optional).

Now Chippy has a very special place of his own to sit and munch in peace.

I hope you get as much joy out of this project as I did making it!

HOMES + I N S I G H T

What Happens to the Cottage in Divorce?

By Maggie Horsburgh Cottage ownership is a dream of many Ontario homeowners. It’s a chance for weekend getaways or spending entire summers in ‘vacation mode’. It’s a home away from home.

But what happens when divorce hits? This can be an emotional topic, as the cottage is often where many happy memories are made, and special moments celebrated with family and friends. If that cottage was indeed a “home away from home” it may also be considered a matrimonial home. And in divorce, a matrimonial home is divided equally between the spouses.

Under Ontario’s Family Law Act, couples can have more than one matrimonial home. Basically, a matrimonial home is any residence - in Ontario - that is habitually occupied by the family at the time of separation. So even if only one spouse is on title or it was purchased before marriage, both spouses have equal rights to occupy it and it cannot be sold without both party’s consent.

Keep in mind that this only applies to property in Ontario.

Secondary homes or cottages located in another province or country do not qualify as a matrimonial home under Ontario family law.

The designation of a cottage as a matrimonial home is not black and white and it may be up to the courts to decide if it qualifies. However, if you’ve been using it as a family even if only a few times a year - chances are it will.

If you are considering buying a cottage before marriage, how do you protect your ownership of this asset should you marry and later divorce? The best way to protect a secondary property is through a prenuptial agreement that specifically excludes it from being shared. It is important to note, however that the rights of possession and protection from a sale as noted above, are still available to your spouse under the Family Law Act. What if you’re already married? If you are the only one on title, you can still protect this asset. If both spouses designate the “city” family home as their matrimonial home, then any other property not registered by both spouses ceases to be considered a matrimonial home. Both spouses must agree to this, as a designation by one spouse only will have no effect.

One final point to note is that these rules do not apply to common-law couples, even if you have children together.

Always consult a family law lawyer regarding property ownership and division to ensure you understand your rights and obligations.

5 Tips for Divorcing Couples

1 2 3 4 5

STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA While going through a divorce, stay off social media and do not let others post about you. Postings can be used against you in court.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING Do not sign any documents presented to you without first reviewing them with a lawyer.

“I understand the journey of divorce, the uncertainties, and the need to feel safe.”

DO NOT STAY MARRIED TO A MORTGAGE If your name is on the mortgage it will stay there until the loan is refinanced into your spouse’s name, or the mortgage is paid off with the sale of the home.

PROTECT YOUR CREDIT Keep your mortgage payments current. Agree with your spouse on who will make the mortgage payments while the divorce is pending. Keep bills current.

Maggie Horsburgh

GATHER THE FACTS Know whose name is on the title and determine if there are liens, judgements or other recordings that could affect title.

The balance on the mortgage statement is not always the payoff amount.
