Creative Home Workspaces

By Alissa McGill 28

The new reality of 2020, has more people than ever working from home.

How can we create spaces that not only promote productivity, but also provide privacy and the flexibility to go from work to family time? A cleared dining room table can work for some, but here are some other ideas that could provide more long-term solutions.

AREAS TO CONSIDER Closet Transformation - If you have a closet that can be cleared out, open or remove the door and add a proper fitting desk with shelving above. Make sure there’s a good source of light and outlets for electronics.

Efficiency - Create a space that is conducive to this. Fresh plants or favorite pictures and decor can help inspire productivity and creativity, while keeping the work area minimalistic can be best for some.

Spare Bedroom - Add a desk or simple table to a corner of an unused spare room, or refurnish the room entirely into a home office.

Remove Clutter - Consider a small file cabinet with hanging files to keep paperwork tucked away, drawer dividers for necessary supplies, and baskets and/or storage cubes.

Larger Hallway or Entryway - Consider your home’s hallway or entryway space. Often times there’s a corner that could fit a small desk or table that’s out of the way of traffic. This could be under a window, for added light. Make sure that you have storage solutions and outlets for electronics available Attic or Basement - If your home has a finished attic, this space will create a perfect work environment for those who require a quiet area to work. In the basement, section off a work zone by adding an area rug, desk, and shelving/storage solutions within the room.

Kitchen Cubby or Island Space - Some kitchens have a desk/work station built right into the design, or larger islands with cabinets can be transformed into work zones that can allow you to tuck away paperwork and supplies when its time to focus on family/personal time.

Light Source - A space/room with windows providing a lot of natural light, or a room with great overhead lighting is ideal, or find a great desk lamp as another option.

Routine - Try to stick to your regular work schedule as much possible. Often times, working from home can have us pulled away by distractions or loved ones. Conversely it’s easy to forget to call it day and work into our down time.

While working from home can be tricky to navigate, remember to give yourself and family members time and patience to adapt to the “new normal”.

Insulated Garage - In cases where we have a clean, organized and insulated garage, we can easily create a work zone that feels separate from our living space.

The added bonus is opening up the door and enjoying fresh air on a nice day.

ELEMENTS TO CONSIDER Wheeled storage units - Find a storage solution that can house all of your work supplies, and be easily tucked away when your workday is done.

Surroundings - Will you be doing a lot of zoom calls? Consider what your co-workers/meeting attendees can see behind you. Choose an appropriate area in your home where background noise and distractions are at a minimum.

Financing Your Home Renovations Before embarking on home renovations you need to estimate how long you plan to live in the home. If it’s more than 5 years, you can entertain the idea of renovations that are more about “you” than the “market” The longer you stay in a home, the more the capital gains on your home’s land will rise whatever you do (or don’t do) to the home.

In that light, you could add in a few selfindulgent things to your home that make it more enjoyable for you and your family for many years to come.

If your plan is to sell your home in less than 5 years, your renovations should be more about the “market” than “you”.

To get the most value out of “market” based home renovations you need to consider 2 things: 1) How much money you can spend? and 2) Where do you spend it.

While you may spend your money more wisely here, that doesn’t mean taking short-cuts. It’s not recommended to go for the “standard” version now in a given area with plans for a “deluxe” upgrade in future. It will probably never happen, and even if you eventually get around to doing the upgrade, it’ll cost you more than doing a quality upgrade from the start.

38

Market based home renovations do one of two things: 1) Prevent your home from losing value or 2) Cause your home to increase in value.

First take a thorough look at your home and consider any existing elements that are holding back its market value. Consider anything that looks noticeably old fashioned. If you’ve lived in your home for decades then you’re probably too close to it emotionally and may not be willing or able to see what’s dated about your home.

Get an experienced, savvy real estate agent (you’ll find many in our magazine!) to come over and give it a full walk through and an appraisal. Ask them if there is anything about your home that they would recommend updating, and what can be done to modify or replace it with a modern upgrade. Once you’ve identified those elements holding back your home value and have remedied them, only then should you consider the elements that could help boost its value.

HOMES+ I N S I G H T

Ask Your Bank For Advice

Timing Your Renovations For Profitability Keep in mind that timing is an important factor in major upgrades in your home of any kind. Unless you’re paying for them with savings or an interestfree loan from family or friends, consider the cost over time of financing your upgrades.

Banks readily allow you to tap into your primary residence’s equity and borrow against it, often at very favourable interest rates. The bank considers your equity as collateral for loaning you more money, although they will charge you a higher interest rate than your first mortgage. Check out all 5 Canadian banks websites for information on financing for home improvements and what insights and incentives each offers.

The worst thing you can do is finance your home renovations in part or in full with your credit cards.

Paying roughly 20% in interest rates on money borrowed makes little sense in any case, but especially when a secured home renovation line of credit offers more credit at a lower interest rate than a credit card.

Credit cards should only be used as an absolute last resort when all of the other less expensive financing options are unavailable.

Talk To A Mortgage Broker

Considering Your Financing Options For financing your renovations you have several options available. If an interest free loan is not an option, the next best financing scenario is adding your borrowed funds into your home’s existing primary mortgage (also known as your first mortgage). This will offer the lowest interest rate. If this isn’t available, you could apply for a secured line of credit specifically designed for home renovations.

A mortgage broker can help with financing options. This is especially true if your mortgage is up for renewal in the next few months. The other banks will be eager to get your business for both your first and second Mortgages.

This means they may offer a considerably better interest rate and a larger line of credit if you switch all your financing over to them.

Another bank may also be willing to let you add your home renovations to your first mortgage when your current bank will not.

The larger the home renovations you have in mind, the more advantageous financing them with your lowest interest rate first mortgage will be.

Simple Homemade Sourdough Bread

By MJ Schropp In a time when everything is uncertain, there is one thing that I know. I know that anyone can combine a few simple ingredients together to make delicious homemade sourdough bread.

The aroma will bring your family and friends running for a slice of your love.

By combining active sourdough starter, some bread flour, water, and a bit of salt, in a few hours with a few deft pulls and turns, you will have a dough which will grow round and bubbly. You can then put that dough to bed in the fridge, and later bake it into a gorgeous, nutritious, and delicious loaf of bread the next morning.

44

YOU WILL NEED Active sourdough starter (50g) Water (350g) Bread Flour (500g) Sea Salt (9g) or to taste

TO MIX THE DOUGH • Measure 50g of active starter into a bowl.

• Add 350g water to it and mix well.

• Add 500g bread flour and 9g of good sea salt to the bowl.

• Mix roughly until all the flour is absorbed, adding a few drops of water on the dry spots until it is evenly moistened. It will look a bit shaggy.

• Cover, and let it rest an hour.

• Right in the bowl, give it a series of pulls and turns (bringing the bottom edges to the top all around the bowl) to develop the structure of the bread.

• Repeat hourly (or whenever you happen by your kitchen) about four times or so.

• Let rise overnight.

• Do a final series of pulls and turns and pop it into a rice flour lined banneton or linen tea towel lined bowl.

• Refrigerate at least five hours or overnight before baking.

TO BAKE • Cover with a piece of parchment paper and invert it into a cold Dutch oven or roasting pan.

• Slash with a razor, cover, and bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit about 40 minutes, then uncover and let it finish baking and browning (about 20 more minutes).

L et cool completely before slicing…if you can wait that long!

Ailsa Craig At the Village of Arbour Trails

Sandra Bradley moved into Ailsa Craig at The Village of Arbour Trails in March 2019 and is enjoying getting to know her neighbours in both The Village by the Arboretum and The Village of Arbour Trails.

The independent suites at Ailsa Craig are exactly what Sandra had pictured for herself. She didn’t want a house with a lot of upkeep, as she says: “I’ve been there, done that.”

She wanted a comfortable suite that would allow her to travel on a whim and Ailsa Craig offers that.

“It suits me,” she says with a gracious smile.

“I’m quite comfortable here.”

She finds comfort in the fact that should her health needs change she has access to all the full Village of Arbour Trails offers, just a short stroll from the Ailsa Craig suites.

“I know that the future is not guaranteed,” Sandra says, “so this way I figure I’ve got that next step figured out.”

It’s the lifestyle she appreciates most about her new home.

“I want to keep busy,” she says. “I do aqua-fit; within two weeks I was in the choir; I go to movies and concerts; I go to happy hour.” She has the best of both worlds, for she enjoys her quiet time in her suite as much as she enjoys the social life The Village offers.

I am so happy here.

I can not believe how much I’m enjoying it.
