Testimonials, the true test of Customer Service As a first-time home buyer, Nancy guided us through the process with grace, insight and most of all patience. She knew what we were looking for and fought hard to get us our dream home.

She was extremely knowledgeable and diligent, but most of all she was honest with us. It was her honesty that we valued the most. We were pampered and treated with kindness every step of the way. We also got the benefit of a team!

Thank you, Nancy and Dave. We are raising our family in the home we always wanted, all thanks to you!

Thinking about moving from the home I had lived in for over 47 years was very emotional for me.

I was overwhelmed with all that I had to do to clean the house and downsize. Nancy and Dave were with me each step of the way and made the transition easier than I had expected. They explained the process in great detail and kept in touch constantly with updates. I felt that I had great support with Nancy and Dave not only because of their real estate knowledge, but also on a personal level with their compassion and understanding.

TESTIMONIAL

We have been fortunate to have lived in Jamaica and New Zealand, but Toronto has been home for the last 39 years. We have lived in and loved Bloor West Village and Baby Point neighbourhoods.

When it was time to plan our forever, we asked Nutan Brown to help us find the perfect home and/or lot to build. The search lasted 3+ years and at last we were successful in finding a terrific opportunity in the heart of Bloor West Village and close to all the amenities that we love about the village.

Next step was to find an architect who could design and deliver on our wishes. Nutan recommended a wonderful and talented architect...his team of contractor and interior designer help us create a home allowing us to age in place with an elevator and a suite for a future caregiver. Recently our architect won a prestigious award for our modern home! Nutan, thank you so much for your patience over that 3 year period...we are so grateful for your help and so delighted with our dream home.

INTERIOR DESIGN rules to follow t Switch Studio, we are always being asked about how high things should be, what size is best, and why something just looks “off”. Here are a few basic interior design rules to help answer these questions.

Proper height of side tables Side tables should ideally be even with the arm height of your sofa, or the same height as the top of your mattress if we’re talking about bedroom design. That being said, you may not always be able to do that, so either a couple of inches higher or lower is totally fine. We would not suggest a difference of more than 3 inches higher or lower, because then it can start to look weird and the functionality of the table suffers as well.

14

Ideal rug size Ideally, your rug should be large enough for all of your furniture to be sitting on it. That being said, you want to ensure that the rug is also not too big or too small for the room itself – It’s nice to have an approximate 12-24 inches of floor showing around the edge. In the bedroom you want to aim for a minimum of 24 inches of rug extending past your bed.

A few more tips When determining your furniture layout for a living room, it’s always great to keep conversation in mind. When creating a conversational seating area be sure to keep the seating around 4-8 feet from each other, so you don’t feel too close or too far from your guests.

N

When hanging drapery you should hang them as high as possible. If you have crown moulding, be sure to mount the rod below that (obviously), but if you don’t have crown moulding then you can mount the rod even higher.

The higher you go the taller your room will feel.

When hanging art or decorative mirrors have the midpoint of the piece sit at around 60 inches. If your home has high ceilings then you can hang it a little higher so the midpoint is around 65 inches. If you’re hanging art or decorative mirrors above a sofa or bed you should have approximately 8-12 inches from the top of the sofa/bed to the bottom of your piece, depending on the height of your ceilings.

Being the only designer in the area who also owns a sewing and upholstery studio, Staci is able to create a truly custom experience for her clients.

She encourages her clients to live beautifully by creating spaces that enhance their day to day lives both aesthetically and practically. With Staci's fresh sense of style that honours classic elements, she is able to create interiors that are both current and timeless.

Call for Details 219 EDENBRIDGE DRIVE, ETOBICOKE Welcome to the life of the party! Imagine, it’s early evening, and guests are due to arrive any minute. Slip out of the enormous soaking tub in your spa washroom, tuck into the elevator, and head down to the lower level. Grab a vintage from the wine cellar and head upstairs to the gourmet kitchen and nibble on apps laid out on Caesarstone counters. Finally, throw open the custom fold-up doors that unveil the sprawling backyard oasis. Call down to the nanny, in their lower-level suite, to take the kids and be on their way. Tonight, and every night, this home is the place to be. The lavish estate, cocktails around the pool, all backing onto serene James Gardens. It’s everything and more, and it could be yours.

WOOD ACCENTS: THIS YEARS hottest trend The temperature outside may have begun to drop, but if you have a warm and inviting home, you might not even notice it at all. Here are some ways to warm up your space with this season’s hottest trend – wood.

Think vintage There are several different furniture and décor styles from previous decades – including mid-century modem and the arts and crafts movement – that incorporate wood. Check your local flea market or antique store for a unique-to-you piece that’s sure to grab anyone’s attention.

Go global You can often score unique wooden accent pieces – like sculptures from Bali and Mexico – from global artisans who work with woods native to their region. Online stores like UNICEF Market by UNICEF Canada feature the work of a wide range of global artisans at a variety of price points, so there’s guaranteed to be something for everyone’s budget.

Off the wall Wood panelling on walls might bring back memories of the 1970s and dark wood-panelled basement rec rooms, but modern designers often recommend a single wood-panelled wall as an accent piece in living areas such as bedrooms and dining rooms. With a number of styles to choose from, like shiplap for a rustic feel, the days of cheap and shiny particle panelling are long gone. www.newscanada.com
