Editors’ Notes

Life events get you moving

SUSAN LEGGE Editor-in-Chief / Director of Content Yellow Pages NextHome Email: Susan.Legge@ypnexthome.ca Twitter: @SusanLegge

The decision to move is often triggered by a life event, such as a new job or a new addition to the family, or simply because you want a change of scenery.

Whatever the reason, it’s important to address what your new needs are before you start hunting for a new place – rather than during. With all of the information available to you these days, it’s easy to get distracted.

To keep you on track and up to date on the latest listings available across Canada, check out this issue and our website, YPNextHome.ca. Not only will you find an easy way to connect with prospective properties, you’ll be able to dig deep on details such as such as costs, neighbourhood information and much more.

Deciding to move is easy, it’s finding the right place that can sometimes be

No one could blame homeowners and prospective homebuyers in the Ottawa area if they get a little antsy when real estate makes the news.

Whether from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., the Canadian Real Estate Association or other reputable sources, such reports are usually dominated by discussion about Toronto and Vancouver.

Terms such as skyrocketing, risky, unaffordable and other discomforting phrases are often attached to those two markets, since they are experiencing ongoing spectacular

price growth. This news might spook Ottawa residents into believing this market faces a similar fate. Not so.

In its latest Housing Trends and Affordability Report, for example, RBC Economics Research cited Ottawa for its healthy, stable and balanced conditions, going as far as to say the market was “springing back to life” after a period of stagnation.

So, Ottawans, let Toronto and Vancouver have their wild rides, and their scary headlines.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with steady as she goes.

The Urban Terraces Register for the release of new homes in Barrhaven LONGFIELDS STATION is a growing community

in Barrhaven, and come April 2 at 10 a.m., the community will become even more popular.

Campanale Homes is set to release its brand new Urban Terrace Homes. These homes are located only a short walk to the new Longfields Transit station and directly across the street from the expansive greenspace of South Nepean Park. Close to nature trails, parks, shopping complexes, schools and many other amenities too numerous to list, the Urban Terraces are truly situated in the heart of Barrhaven.

The Urban Terraces will consist of two buildings with 16 units in each. All suites will have two bedrooms, two storeys and a balcony. Floorplans start at a spacious 1,119 sq. ft. of living space with a 100-sq.-ft balcony, and increase in size from there depending on your personal needs.

Campanale Homes encourages prospective buyers to arrive early so they will have priority choice of the available units. With pricing starting as low as $191,900, buyers are already expressing interest, and these homes are

expected to be a hit. The low price of the units is bound to attract a slew of buyers, which means line-ups are anticipated for the April 2 release. This first-come, first-served event will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, the 32 available units in the two buildings may not last until the end of the day. Buyers are encouraged to arrive early.

Longfields Station is quickly becoming a popular neighbourhood for young families, retirees and everyone in between. With many schools just blocks away, the abundance of greenspace with soccer and baseball fields, and the safety and family-friendly vibe of the area, it is no wonder so many buyers are flocking to Longfields. Barrhaven offers everything you need only steps from your front door. With the ever-growing population, transit is also becoming increasingly more convenient.

Campanale Homes has made a distinguished name for itself in the Ottawa building community. First launched more than 37 years ago by founders and brothers Rocco, Tony and Vince, the company is now stronger than ever. From the outset, the company was driven by a shared vision and desire to bring exceptional value and traditional craftsmanship to homes of varying sizes and styles. From modest beginnings, they have grown into a full-service organization that can meet their customer’s varied needs.

Visit campanale.com/urban to register to view the floorplans, so that when you arrive at the sales centre on April 2, you already know which plan you want.

There are also many upgrade packages to choose from. The Urban Terraces are also ideal investment properties. Campanale will offer management services, which takes all of the stress out of it. The friendly staff at Campanale will take care of everything for you.

With four floorplans to choose from, a desirable location, and great pricing, the Urban Terraces are expected to sell out fast, so don’t miss out on this opportunity.

Larry and Diane now enjoy the simplicity of living on one level and having peace of mind when they travel. The best part about living in a Lépine luxury apartment at William’s Court is that they don’t feel as if they “downsized”! They currently lease a large garden suite that allows Diane to keep the cherished dining room furniture and fine china with which to host friends and family. Larry can now be found tinkering in the courtyard gardens in his spare time—not that they need tending, it’s just fun.

Advice | HOME SMARTS

Bid adieu to this old house How to stage your home for maximum profit

By Marnie Bennett

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

AS IF PURCHASING a new home isn’t

intense enough, homebuyers (with the exception of first-timers) also have to sell their current properties.

The fact is, few homes are ready to go on the market as-is.

It’s not just a matter of tidiness – though that’s certainly crucial.

It’s about helping potential buyers to connect emotionally with your space. That means making your home welcoming to as many people as possible, often at the cost of your own personal taste. This isn’t easy, but a professional stager can help; your realtor may even have one on staff.

If a stager isn’t in the cards, there are steps you can take on your own.

First off, de-clutter. Chances are you’ve got twice as much stuff as you need to show your home to its best potential. In addition to removing obvious messes, this includes things like extraneous furniture, children’s toys, knick-knacks and family photos.

This can be emotionally difficult, but remember: the goal is to make it easy for potential buyers to imagine their own possessions in your space.

Next, fix unfinished projects. If buyers see loose floor tiles and cracks in the wall, they’ll wonder what other issues are lurking under the surface.

Don’t give them cause to worry.

To make rooms appear larger, replace puffy, over-sized furniture with sleeker pieces. In the bedroom, you’re better off showing a queensized bed and two small bedside tables than a king with none. To find C14 YPNEXTHOME.CA

the right pieces, you can beg, borrow and, if necessary, lease.

Bright paint or outdated wallpaper?

Replace them with neutral wall colours and add vibrancy with throw pillows and vases. Splurge on fresh, sweetly scented flowers for an open house; they’ll pay for themselves.

Mirrors are a wonderful tool for filling empty walls. And, whatever the decor in your bathroom, thick white towels will lend a hotel-like vibe.

For extra curb appeal, give your front door a fresh coat of paint and temporarily take your storm door off the hinges. Invest in two urns; plant them with pretty, seasonal flowers. In winter, cedar branches draped with ribbon are just as beautiful.

I can guarantee that all this work will have a huge payoff, so keep your eyes on the prize. After all, in your brand new home, you can have things exactly the way you want!

The fully furnished

BATHROOM

By Yanic Simard

WANT THAT PEACEFUL SPA

atmosphere in your highrise urban home? Modern furnishings and minimalist design are a good starting point for a blissful bathroom.

However, when we go too clean with our ensuite treatment, sometimes the space can begin to feel less calming and more clinical. With these tips for introducing inviting furnishings, you can add a little warmth to your washroom space and rediscover true relaxation.

Side table » An easy addition, a simple side table or stool placed next to a vanity or tub invites you to sit while drawing a bath, chat with family or a friend while getting ready for an evening out, or perch a good book and a glass of wine. » If you’re worried about moisture damage, a ceramic indoor/outdoor stool is a perfect choice to resist the dampness, with endless options for colour or pattern (or classic black for a punch of drama). Plus, in summer when you spend more time on your balcony and less time in a hot bath, this stool can move outdoors as a compact extra seat. » I often use wood stools in bath spaces (including in my own recent bath renovation!), as the organic texture adds a sense of warmth sometimes missing in spaces dominated by stone and glass.

Look for a petite form which can tuck away when not in use to save space.

Chair » Similar to a stool, a chair placed in the bathroom helps tie the space back to other areas of your home, with the added benefit of providing the perfect place to drape clothing or a towel. » Choosing a transparent plastic, polished aluminum, clean white or an open shape (like a classic bentwood bistro chair) will help …continued on page 22 20 YPNEXTHOME.CA

keep the look light and airy. As with stools, choosing an outdoorfriendly design will ensure the piece can handle a little ambient moisture, and many outdoor options come in powder-coated metal or tinted acrylic for a hint of colour. » If you have room, a small sofa, club chair or chaise creates a look of true luxury, dramatically blurring the lines between spaces and evoking the atmosphere of an elite spa.

Cart » A multi-layered cart is an excellent place to store toiletries and other bathroom essentials in a way that’s both beautiful and convenient.

It’s another design-approved idea I put to the test in my own home!

A cart can easily move out of the way or pull closer to the vanity, and perches perfectly under a window or in a corner without blocking elbow room like a full-height cabinet would. » Use simple jars, drinking glasses or open vases to store items like cotton swabs and toothbrushes, and baskets or boxes for items you want hidden, with space left for rolled towels and an occasional fresh bouquet. » To get that unexpected charm, skip the “bathroom carts,” opting instead for a metal bar cart (especially a vintage find) or a wellsealed butcher-block kitchen cart and boldly repurposing it.

Chest » If you have room for nothing else, you can always create a furnished look in your bathroom by replacing a minimal or built-in vanity cabinet with a chest of drawers or vintage console.

» Since a sink can be installed in virtually any furniture piece with the right height and basic structural shape, think outside the box for items that can work, such as a writing desk or old wine barrel (with an added stone top). Just ask the shop to hold the item while you confer with your plumber!

» Look to places like Habitat for Humanity ReStore or other second-hand stores for furniture pieces with a story that just need a little refinishing (which you can then have applied in the form of a bathroom-friendly paint or sealer) rather than extravagant antiques.

cover story

It’s all for you in Blackstone Singles, towns, condos and a lifestyle you’ll love THE COMMUNITY OF BLACKSTONE

in Kanata South has come a long way since construction started in 2012. When you consider all that the neighbourhood has to offer, it’s really no surprise. Charming streetscapes, ponds, walking trails and a bevy of urban conveniences have created a master-planned backdrop that’s been attracting everyone from first-timers and move-up buyers to downsizers too.

Located at Terry Fox Drive and Fernbank Road, only a short distance from the Queensway, Blackstone provides a comfortable commute to downtown and direct access to the Trans Canada Trail. The burgeoning community also boasts a network of trails and pathways to explore. Any way you look at it, connectivity is big in Blackstone.

24 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Much of Blackstone’s appeal is thanks to Cardel Homes, which recently marked 20 years of building in Ottawa and has played a key role in shaping Blackstone since the community’s inception. Now that Blackstone has had a few years to mature, it is more popular than ever, with a personality all its own.

Cardel had a clear vision for Blackstone from the beginning.

They wanted to create a community where all ages felt welcome – new families, young professionals, emptynesters and everyone in between.

Blackstone’s first phase featured single-family Cardel homes, with striking curb appeal, high standards and all the room a growing family needs – from 1,700 sq. ft. up to more than 2,600 sq. ft.

To commemorate Cardel’s

twentieth anniversary, the company recently expanded their single-family Blackstone offerings to include four special-edition models. The Anniversary Collection makes it more affordable than ever to get into a Cardel home in Blackstone. If you thought a single-family Cardel was out of reach, think again. You can get into the feature-loaded Anniversary Collection for less than $400,000.

Beyond its wide range of singlefamily options, Cardel has introduced townhomes to Blackstone too, featuring open floorplans and abundant natural light. Each townhome includes main floor hardwood, ceramic tile in wet areas, a spacious living area with large windows, a finished rec room in the basement and customized designer finishes for every taste.

“Cardel has so much to offer in Blackstone – it’s easy to see why its award-winning designs have been so popular.”

Continuing with it’s “easy life” approach, Cardel has added even more low-maintenance options to Blackstone in the form of a brand new condo collection. When you’re looking for maintenance-free living, a Cardel condo makes for a perfect fit.

You don’t have to worry about snow removal, grass cutting or chasing the garbage truck, plus you can jet away for extended periods knowing your home will be safe and sound. Condos remove much of the stress from home ownership, allowing you to enjoy life to the fullest, whether your lifestyle includes travelling the world

or simply enjoying all that Blackstone has to offer close to home – cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops plus the four-season natural attractions.

With abundant single-family options, spacious townhomes and modern condos, Cardel has made it easy for everyone to call Blackstone home. Regardless of the style of home you choose, you can enjoy a full range of signature features that have made Cardel one of the most sought-after builders in Ottawa for the past twenty years. Distinctive curb appeal, great floorplans, luxurious interior finishes and larger

windows are all standard, which makes for strong resale potential too, should you ever decide to sell your home.

Cardel has so much to offer in Blackstone – it’s easy to see why its award-winning designs have been so popular. Whether you’re a young family starting out, empty-nesters downsizing or anywhere in between, you’ll appreciate life at Blackstone.

Blue sky is the limit when decorating with 2016’s top colour IT MAY BE CALLED BLUE, but when

it comes to decorating, this year’s hottest colour is upbeat. Think airy skies and misty oceans, cheerful shades of blue that emit a sense of serenity and calmness, according to paint brand DULUX Paints.

“While blue is known to be the most popular colour in the world, when it comes to home decor, many Canadians shy away from infusing it into their homes, opting for neutral colour schemes instead,” says Martin Tustin-Fuchs, brand manager for Dulux Paints.“Yet blue is a wonderful, versatile complement to any decor.”

Unsurprisingly, Dulux Paints has chosen blue — an ethereal blue called Bear Run (10BG 46/112) — as its colour of the year for 2016. Other popular blues by Dulux Paints are Blazer Blue (43BB 09/340), Teton Sky (10BB 49/137) and Blue Blood (47BB 14/349).

“Blue may not be the first paint colour you’d choose for your home, but next to neutrals, there’s no easier hue to work with than blue,” Tustin-Fuchs said. “Anyone who has the opportunity to give blue a try on even one wall appreciates the peaceful, calming effect the colour emits.”

Want to make a splash in your home with this year’s hottest colour?

Dulux Paints offers these suggestions to incorporate blue into your decor: Warm things up. Combining blue walls with warm, paler colours — such as sandy brown, creamy grey or this year’s popular golden yellow – creates a cosy feel in a room. For a calming, monochromatic look, pair different shades of blue in a space – altering the tone on walls, trim, doors and even ceilings. Warm up blue walls even more and create an inviting beach house feel with wood flooring underfoot.

ABOVE RIGHT

Known to stimulate the mind, encourage focus and help increase productivity, blue — such as Dulux Paints’ Bear Run (10BG 46/112) featured on the far wall — is a good choice for a home office.

ABOVE LEFT

Soothing blue, such as Teton Sky (10BB 49/137) by Dulux Paints, shown on the wall and ceiling, creates a relaxing, spa-like feel in a bathroom when combined with offwhite, light grey or tan.

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

Pair with white. If traditional is your style, complement blue walls with white trim for a timeless decor. For a more modern look, paint walls white and make them pop with open bookcases revealing a painted backdrop of vibrant blue. Prefer a coastal feel? Complement a blue and white palette with striped fabrics and natural textures, such as grasscloth and jute. No matter what your style, add touches of blue accents around the room to bring it all together.

Make it work. Known to stimulate the mind, encourage focus and help increase productivity, blue is a good choice for a home office. Adding one or two other hues to the workspace will complete the look and create a sense of balance. Colours that complement Dulux Paints’ popular Bear Run (10BG 46/112) blue are

Newborn (35YY 78/269) yellow and Coral Flower (21YR 57/250) orange. To keep the space light and bright, opt for white or pale office furniture.

Soak it in. Soothing blue is a natural fit for a bathroom, regardless of the shade.

Combined with pastel accents of offwhite, light grey or tan — such as Dulux Paints’ Song Porcelain (00NN 83/000) white, Silver Trophy (30BB 53/012) grey or Brown Bag (10YY 35/196) tan — a blue bathroom can take on a relaxing, spa-like feel. For an ultimate spa effect, paint the ceiling an airy shade of light blue to mimic the sky and create the appearance of added height.

Inspiration | DESIGN SECRETS

SPRING will breathe new life

into new home design

By Jane Lockhart

AS DAYS BECOME longer and the warmth starts to thaw through the winter ice and snow, trends in new home design are starting to emerge.

Spring is a time of new hope, growth and purpose, and that is also evident in design. Right now, there are brighter more vibrant colours, daring art and accessories and a shift in the “rules�. Natural elements still play as large a role as they did in the autumn and winter, but this time they are less structured and more abstract.

This spring brings a large shift from the traditional in terms of room layout. We are seeing a blur in the lines of each specific room in new home designs. This also impacts the tasks associated with that space that generally predict how we design. For example, wine fridges are popping up all over the house. New this season is a sleeker built-in design in the bedroom and dining room. Mini fridges have undergone a makeover and their newer elegant form can now be found in bedrooms or family rooms to make access to a drink and snack easier. Built-in coffee makers are now seeking a home in the master ensuite or bedroom.

Along with this movement, there is a progression of mirrored cabinets and vanities leaving the bathroom. They have begun popping up throughout the home as well.

These are great because in addition to hidden storage space, they add outlets too. The installation of inwall mirrored cabinets is now in

walk-in closets, laundry rooms and mudrooms. The mirrored cabinet isn’t the only item making its way out of the bathroom. Cabinets, minus the sink, are now affixed to walls to act as a dressing table. These are ideal for a walk-in or even a hidden nook in the master.

From appliances to hardware and colour, the arrival of spring leaves no part of design untouched.

Perhaps the most exciting part of spring is the emerging colours both outdoors and in. Spring often leaves its mark with bright and bold colours. North Americans welcome the change after a long winter with lots of white! Currently, there is a nod back to the 1980s with this seasons new colours. There will be

“Cabinets, minus the sink, are now affixed to walls to act as a dressing table. These are ideal for a walk-in or even a hidden nook in the master.” a modern take on colours like dusty rose and hunter green.

The natural influences are still strong this season, but more raw and abstract then we have seen in the past. Now woods have unfinished edges in both dining and coffee tables. The colours are earthier, giving the impression of natural surfaces. These are combined with very modern lines and brighter colours to create a beautiful juxtaposition when mixed together.

The end of winter is often met

with excitement, colour and new styles in interior design. This year is no different. Colour is a strong player with less defined spaces and a nod to raw nature. Remember, this does not mean to reinvent your style, but introduce the pieces you love and mix them with your current style. The only thing that matters is that you love your space!

ONE OF OTTAWA’S OLDEST SUBURBS, Sandy Hill is bordered by the Rideau Canal and Rideau River, with Rideau Street and the Byward Market area to the north and Hwy. 417 to the south. This expansive neighbourhood is best known for its proximity to the University of Ottawa as well as its many steep hills – which make walking around this neighbourhood a workout.

Lifestyle Did you know that Sandy Hill has been home to some of the most influential political members? From John A. MacDonald, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, William Mackenzie-King, to former NDP leader Ed Broadbent.

Sandy Hill is aptly named for its many large hills and sandy soil, which prevents developers from erecting large buildings.

Vibe Sandy Hill is a neighbourhood where you recognize faces, where neighbours watch out for one another, and where people bike or walk most of the time.

Meet the Neighbours It was once one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Ottawa, and still boasts expansive mansions, but is now primarily home to students.

The further you get from campus, you’ll find more young families, older couples and large embassies.

In the Area Shops and restaurants cater to budget-conscious students. Coffee is cheap and beer is even cheaper! The affluent older residents are unlikely to frequent the local Royal Oak. Planes, Trains & Automobiles Hwy. 417 is within blocks, affording easy access to the rest of the city.

A bus route travels throughout the neighbourhood – you can hop on at one end, take the bus up Somerset Street and then hop off at the top.

Perfect for those lazy folks too sleepy to climb that hill in the morning!

The Good, the Bad & the Rest Sandy Hill lacks in the amenities department – but a bonus is its proximity to the ByWard Market. You

will find lots of coffee shops, takeout food, convenient stores and pubs for student needs If you’re looking for something more sophisticated, in addition to the ByWard Market, the Rideau Centre is nearby.

Real Estate Yes, students can be loud. But the bonus? They’re gone in the summer.

During the school year, many of them lend a helping hand to neighbours in need. The good? This area is full of mature trees, steps from the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River, and the homes are historic, the streets quaint.

What more could you ask for?

Lindsay has lived in the Ottawa/Gatineau area her whole life. When she’s not touring the city in search of the hottest new neighbourhoods, she’s busy writing fiction and enjoying life with her husband and two dogs.
