EY E C AT C H I NG C H AN GES You Can Make To Any Room Is it time to change things up in your home? Follow these easy tips and suggestions to make drastic or subtle changes to any room.

Start small

For those of us who like to switch things up every now and then, there are so many ways to help make a room look like it just had a makeover. It may seem like a daunting task, but it can be quite easy — and easy on your wallet — to make a big impact. Simple decor pieces such as vases, picture frames, florals, accent pillows, cozy throws, and of course, accent furniture, can help give any room in your space a real refresh. Something as simple as switching out old photo frames for new or vintage ones can make a room feel reinvigorated. Love the frames, but sick of staring at the same photos? Swap them for some of your most recent favourites on your phone. Got a tiny space you’re working with? Make a statement on the walls using floating shelves to create a photo collage.

Consider paint or wallpaper

Sure the decor on the walls can help switch things up, but for optimal impact, consider a fresh coat of paint. Choosing a coordinating colour or an accent colour can be the foundation of any new design you’re planning. If painting seems like a daunting or time-consuming task, consider easy, low-commitment options like self-adhesive wallpaper and design stickers.

It’s an inexpensive idea that can work with any budget.

To make that new wall colour pop, consider changing up the lighting scheme.

Lamps, sconces, and chandeliers come in all shapes, styles, and colours — and you can incorporate many of them without needing to bring in an electrician. Add warmth and depth, create a cozy reading nook, brighten up your bedside — the options are truly endless.

Change up your furniture

Another easy idea to switch things up is to incorporate new pieces of furniture, but you don’t need to start from scratch to make a big difference in your space. Set your budget and shop accordingly!

In lieu of new furniture, give existing pieces a slip cover treatment. Or, add texture and a pop of colour with accent pillows and throws.

Smaller pieces such as side tables or a coffee table are great purchases that can be used for years to come in a myriad of layouts.

Don’t underestimate the big impact a new floor treatment can have. Anchor your room with an area rug. Choose from tons of textures, patterns and colours to incorporate a little bit of whatever your space is in need of.

Your friends at A b o v e & Beyo nd Home Deco r located in Truro, can help you choose furniture and decor to complement your home.

Reface or Replace?

Kitchen Renovations:

A kitchen renovation is one of the most obvious ways to change the look of your home’s interior. It can modernize your home and add value. When contemplating a kitchen renovation many homeowners debate between refacing kitchen cabinetry or replacing it entirely.

Refacing a kitchen is becoming an increasingly popular option because it is simpler, less expensive and less intrusive than a full-scale remodel. Most basic refacing projects consist of replacing the drawer fronts, installing new cabinet doors and refacing any exposed framing from your pre-existing cabinets.

If you’re looking to update your kitchen because your current one is feeling dated, refacing your cabinetry may be the ideal route for you. Often cabinets that are old and dated are solid wood and well made, so it makes no sense to completely replace the entire kitchen if you’re only worried about aesthetics.

Even if you’ve got some cabinets that need to be fixed, refacing is often a simpler fix. It’s often as simple as a company taking preliminary measurements and the refacing itself usually only takes a week or less. Refacing is not as intrusive as a complete remodel. You can give your entire kitchen a facelift without disrupting your flooring, backsplash or countertops, and your kitchen stays functional during the renovations.

Refacing your kitchen cabinetry is more than just a convenient option thought - it can save you up to 40% on your kitchen renovation.

Refacing your cabinetry is not always an option. Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense, especially if your existing cabinetry is not solidly built or is worn out. If your kitchen cabinets are not high quality, it may not be worth investing more money into something that will likely need to be replaced in the future. Your cabinets may just be worn out, plain and simple, and that’s when it comes time to invest in new cabinets.

A compete kitchen renovation doesn’t need to be daunting. It offers a certain freedom because you have the ability to completely customize your new space and create your dream kitchen. If the layout of your kitchen is just not working for your home, you may want to consider replacing your cabinetry altogether. A full-scale remodel of your home’s kitchen allows much more room for custom cabinet size and function. It is also the better option if you are unhappy with the interior of your existing cabinets and are looking to replace with something that is solidly built and completely customizable.

If you’re contemplating a kitchen makeover, it is best to assess the quality of your pre-existing cabinetry and determine your satisfaction with the layout of your kitchen and this will help you to decide once and for all if you should reface or replace.

What you need to know before moving to

NOVA SCOTIA If you’re reading this, you’re probably considering or have already planned your move to Nova Scotia. Congratulations, you’ll love it here! It’s not nicknamed Canada’s ocean playground for nothing!

The first question to ask yourself; where do you want to live?

The most popular, and populous, destination is the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM).

With a population of roughly 400,000 it is the largest municipality in Nova Scotia and contains the provincial capital, Halifax. If you want to be where the action is, you’ll want to set your sights on Halifax.

Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) is the second largest region with a population of about 93,000. If you prefer a more laid-back small-town vibe with access to city amenities, you might want to consider CBRM. If an actual small town is what you want, there is no shortage of beautiful towns to make home! Plus, the housing tends to be more affordable and the lots are bigger.

One of the biggest perks of living in Nova Scotia is that no matter where you are, you’re never more than a 30-minute(ish) drive from the ocean. There is an abundance of beaches and greenspace, no matter where you choose to call home. There are lots of hiking trails just outside the city as well as right in the city like Point Pleasant Park and Hemlock Ravine Park.

Housing is also relatively affordable, compared to other cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Prices in the province are starting

28

to climb. Currently, the average sales price is $367,413 in Halifax, and $289,442 for outside HRM. If you are buying a home, you should know about the Capped Assessment Program (CAP). The program limits the amount that residential property assessments can increase by each year, but it will reset to market value when a home is bought or sold.

In order to be eligible for the program, the property must be majority owned by a resident of Nova Scotia. For the full list of requirements and to find out more about the CAP, go to www.pvsc.ca.

What about other taxes? There is an additional tax that must be paid when purchasing a house or land in Nova Scotia.

The Deed Transfer Tax can be between 0 and 1.5 per cent of your purchase price and must be paid within 10 days of closing. The rate varies by municipality so be sure to check your rate at www.novascotia.ca.

Lastly, utilities. The major internet providers are Bell and Eastlink, with smaller companies and municipalities providing more local service. The only power company is Nova Scotia Power. High speed internet access has been a challenge, but that is changing with the help of Develop Nova Scotia and an ambitious project to have 97 per cent of the province covered by high speed by 2022.

Overall, Nova Scotia is one of the best provinces in Canada but you’ll see that for yourself when you get here. So, when are you coming?

The Nova Sco a Associa on of REALTORS® represents over 1,600 members throughout the Province and is the voice of real estate in Nova Sco a. For more informa on on selec ng your REALTOR® visit www.REALTOR.ca

Tips to help add curb appeal to your home this winter.

Now that the green grass is fading and the leaves have fallen, it may seem more challenging to add curb appeal to your home. Although you cannot depend on your garden’s flowers to make a first impression, there is plenty that can be done during the snow-filled months to make your house look warm and inviting.

Here are a few tips to help you make your home sparkle during those bleak winter months.

1. Clean up! This is applicable anytime of year, but is especially important in the winter. Make sure that any debris and leaves left over from the fall have been cleaned up so that buyers can see the potential of your yard. Tidy up flower beds so that they look clean and ready for spring.

2. Add some lights. Use the long winter nights to your advantage. Add some white strands of lights to your home’s entrance or shrubbery to make it look welcoming. Also make sure your home and your driveway are well-lit. This safety feature will impress potential buyers and also make your house stand out amongst the rest.

3. Update your house numbers and the hardware on your door. This is a great way add some style to your property.

Make sure the new numbers are large enough to read from the street for safety and also so that potential buyers can find you.

4. Add some colour. Try adding a new mailbox in a statement colour such as red. Wreaths on doors and windows are a great place to add some colourful ribbon.

5. Go green. Your flowers may have lost their blooms, but you can add some life to your home’s exterior with evergreens.

Two evergreens on either side of your front door make a welcoming and beautiful entryway. Think about adding a Christmas tree to your front porch during the holidays. Line your walkway with evergreens shrubs such as boxwood or juniper and add some white strands of lights to highlight them.

6. Snow removal. Make sure you remain diligent about snow and ice removal.

Potential buyers make their first impression within moments of seeing your home. Make sure handrails and stairs are cleared and user-friendly. This simple safety tip will allow potential buyers to envision an inviting home rather than focus on a treacherous entrance.

7. Create a welcoming entryway. This also helps to make a lasting impression.

Add some style to your front porch with some weatherproof furniture. Throw in some cozy pillows and a blanket, some lanterns for lights. Try adding an old sled or skates along with some birch branches to your wintry vignette to convey a cozy and stylish feel.
