WAYS TO MAKE YOUR OLDER HOME

8

FEELNew

reaming of improving your home, but a major remodel isn't necessarily in the budget? It may seem basic, but a fresh coat of paint is an easy trick to give your home a new look. Try some of these simple, inexpensive paint projects that make for quick updates and keep the old-home charm.

PAI NT KITC H EN CAB I N E TS This is an economical way to transform an outdated kitchen into something timeless. Select a primer that is recommended for the type of surface you have, then remove the cabinet doors and hardware and label them for easier reassembly. Use painter's tape to protect the wall or backsplash tile and cover the countertop with plastic or poly-sheeting. Instead of the typical two-step process to apply poly-sheeting, try using Painter's Mate doublesided poly-hanging tape to make prep time a breeze.

C R E ATE AN ACCE NT WALL This focal point can be a powerful design move, breaking up the traditional look of having four same-coloured walls. Plus, it's an easy way to play with colour in a new way without committing to painting a whole room. When selecting the colour, the accent wall should complement the adjacent wall colour. When in doubt, paint your statement wall two shades darker than the rest.

R E VAM P D R AWER P U LL S AN D DOO R HAN D LE S Give your home a small but impactful refresh by updating worn door handles, drawer knobs and pulls. Instead of replacing everything, try repainting - all you need is a screwdriver to remove knobs and handles and a metal spray paint. Before painting, clean the hardware and lightly sand to ensure that paint adheres easily. Add a layer of clear lacquer after the paint dries to help prevent scratches. >>>

home dĂŠcor

PAI NT YO U R CE I LI N G If your home already has a fresh coat of paint, then look to other areas that could use a touch-up, such as the ceilings.

When repainting the ceiling, don't be afraid to add a pop of colour. Whether dramatic or subtle, adding colour to the fifth wall can alter the geometry of a room, tricking the eye and changing the feel of a space.

PRO TIP : Use a roller with extended reach to tackle high ceilings.

R EFR E S H TR I M Details such as moulding, trim and baseboards can seem relatively minor but create a significant impact. As these accents are the visual foundation for a space, you can change the look of any room by simply playing them up with a crisp white colour.

STEAK TACOS WITH CUCUMBER SALAD AND SUMAC PICKLED ONIONS

14

CAROLYN COHEN BA, BScOT Founder/Chef/Recipe Developer

DELICIOUSDISH Cooking School specializes in Whole Food Home Cooking, Meal Planning, Recipe Developing and Healthy Eating. #CookAtHome

love tacos and I love Korean flavours. This combination is irresistible and a fantastic easy summer entertaining dish! Both skirt steak and flank steak need a long marinating time and need to be sliced super thin once cooked. The sumac in the pickled onion adds a fantastic red colour and sour flavour that goes really nicely in the tacos. You can buy sumac in a ground powder form in a specialty shop. It comes from the sumac bush found in the middle east, the berry is dried and ground, it has a lemony flavor.

D: 416.200.3522 E: deliciousdish@rogers.com DeliciousDish.ca

SERVES 6-I0

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

• 1 skirt steak or flank steak

• Blend all the marinade ingredients together in a blender or food processor, leave a little texture.

• 12-20 small corn tortillas • 1 avocado, peeled and diced STEAK MARINADE

• 1 bunch green onions, white parts only or 1/2 a small onion • 1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds • 3 cloves garlic • 1" piece of fresh ginger, washed (no need to peel) • 1/3 cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil • 3 tbsp mirin (rice wine) CUCUMBER SALAD

• Place in a zip lock bag, place steak in the bag. Marinate overnight or up to 2 days.

• When ready to grill... remove meat from the fridge for 1 hour before grilling.

• To make the Cucumber Salad: Slice the cucumber in half in the width so that it is easier to handle, take each half and slice into half or quarters in the length. Now slice into thin pieces, I do this on a slicer so I get super thin slices. Place slices in a medium size mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinegar and oil over the cucumbers, sprinkle with the salt and sugar (if using), mix and toss together very well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, toss. Let marinate at room temp for about 30 minutes or longer before serving. Toss again before serving.

• To make the Sumac Pickled Onions: mix the onions in a medium bowl with the red wine vinagar, sumac and salt. Mix well and let sit for 30 minutes or so.

• 1 English cucumber

• Turn your BBQ to high for 10-15 minutes. Once the grill is hot, turn it down to medium.

• 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar

• Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off excess.

LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME?

TOP TIPS

18

BEFORE YOUSign

Y

ou've found the newly built home you've been looking for and are ready to make one of the biggest purchases of your life. But do you know how to protect your new home?

Before you sign an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, CONSIDER THESE TIPS : • Review the APS with a real estate lawyer to ensure you understand exactly what is included in the price of the home. If you are buying a condominium, review the disclosure statement to understand which items are part of your unit and which are considered common elements. Make sure everything that is agreed upon is reflected in writing. • If construction has not started on the home or condominium, find out when the builder will begin and how you will be notified if there is a delay. Be sure that you and your lawyer document all details regarding deposits and delayed closings or occupancy.

A standard Addendum is required to be included in the purchase agreement. It provides additional information, as well as your rights concerning delays in construction. It is important to review this document with your lawyer. >>>

• At the signing of the purchase agreement, you will likely be required to provide a deposit for your home. Understand that deposits on freehold homes are protected up to a maximum of $40,000 by Tarion, the administrator of Ontario's new home warranty program. Condominium deposits are covered for up to $20,000 by Tarion. Deposits over $20,000 are protected by the trust and excess deposit insurance provisions of the Condominium Act, 1998.

• Ask when you will be contacted to make selections for interior and exterior finishes. Each builder has a different policy for finalizing selections.

• Ask your builder who to contact about scheduling your predelivery inspection and when it will take place.

• Ask about the builder's after sales service policy and who to contact should an issue arise. Ask who to contact in emergencies, too.

• Read about the warranty that comes with your new home and understand what to do if you think you have a claim.
