Happy New Year! I hope that 2018 is off to a great start for you.

It’s a time of year with a lot of anticipation – resolutions, changes, taking account of things. I, for one, don’t like the pressure. What I do like about the arrival of a new year is the idea of a fresh start.

I like to think of January 1 as the first day of a fresh slate.

I know it’s arbitrary, and that there’s no magic at midnight, but I like to give myself the break and the encouragement each year. On January 1 you are free of last year, free to make what you want out of this year. From mistakes and missed opportunities to taking chances and tackling your dreams, the year holds opportunity.

And that’s one reason why I find the new year an ideal time to assess your living situation.

Is it time to make a change? Have you been living somewhere that isn’t quite working for you – or been tempted by a move to a place or a space that would embrace your needs and your lifestyle much better?

Do you love your space but need to get the cobwebs out and give it a bit of TLC? Is it time for some new furnishings? Is it time to toss stuff that’s taking up space and not helping your home to be all that it could be?

Whether you’re moving, making changes, reclaiming space or just undergoing a little style makeover, start the year off right – with the intentions and follow-through to make your space the perfect place for 2018.

Check us out online at NextHome.ca, and get ready to rent your new home!

The Gardiner, Mount Pleasant, The Bayview Extension and the DVP are also close to home for those who require travelling to different parts of the city. It’s really the perfect home base.

While the neighbourhood goes through revitalization, new boutiques, eclectic restos and galleries are quickly creating a scene. The Entertainment District, the Eaton Centre, the Yonge Street Strip, The Village and Allan Gardens Conservatory are all part of your playground. Whether it’s one of the many area campuses, downtown offices, retail, spas,

salons or the tattoo shop, you’ve got it all at 561 Sherbourne.

These brand-new air-conditioned suites offer style and comfort to match your lifestyle. You’ll find modern finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies with amazing views. Kitchens include dishwashers, and in-suite laundry is tucked away in the closet.

ST. JAMES TOWN AT THE CENTRE OF THE CITY

LAUREN SHORSER

Between Bloor Street E. in the north, Wellesley in the south, Parliament in the east, and Sherbourne in the west, St. James Town is a small but densely populated downtown neighbourhood. This culturally and ethnically diverse area is a mostly residential pocket adjoining some areas that are more commercial and retail oriented.

St. James Town is a friendly neighbourhood. A library and community centre provide

residents with programs, activities and points of interest. There are a few ethnic grocery stores adding an exotic flavour, as well as the usual groceries and necessities. Although there are relatively few stores and restaurants right in this community, neighbouring areas offer extensive options.

This friendly, communityoriented neighbourhood feels like a village. It’s a high-density area, and people seem to know their neighbours better than in many other parts of the city. Residents often stop to talk on the street or, in nice weather, sit outside on benches.

St. James Town is small but well serviced. Open-air vendors can be found on a pedestrian thoroughfare

selling clothing, shoes, jewellery, household items and more that neighbourhood stores don’t carry.

A great neighbourhood for cycling, there are bike lanes on Wellesley, Sherbourne and Bloor.

The area is convenient for transit, with Sherbourne subway station at Bloor and Sherbourne and bus routes on Parliament, Wellesley, Sherbourne and Bloor. Bayview and the Don Valley Parkway are both close by and are good north-south routes for drivers.

Toronto local Lauren Shorser is a freelance writer. Her love of science and the written word led her to New Zealand where she completed a Master’s in Science Communication.

She specializes in writing about both science and the city.

ADVICE | QUICK TIPS

A PLACE AND A SPACE

FOR EVERYTHING HELLEN BUTTIGIEG Whether you have a sprawling apartment with plenty of room or a cosy place with little extra space, you need to create a system so your home functions to accommodate your lifestyle needs. Without designated spaces, you’re forever tucking things away that don’t have a real home – and wasting far too much time trying to remember where they are.

EVERYONE NEEDS A HOME OFFICE.

Are you using your kitchen or dining room table as an office?

It can be frustrating and time consuming to have to pack up your papers and bring them out again. Although it would be ideal to have a room devoted entirely for processing paperwork, you can also use an armoire in the family room that closes up when not in use, or a closet that has been refitted with a countertop and drawers. You’ll also need good lighting, a comfortable chair, and a functional filing system.

WHERE DID I PUT THE... Have you ever stored a special item in a safe place and then forgotten where you put it? A simple solution is to create a document on your computer to record the location of seldom-used articles. Use the ‘find’ feature to retrieve the information quickly within the document.

NAME THAT ROOM. Rooms that

don’t have a specific purpose 24

often become dumping grounds for clutter. Before you begin decluttering, go through your home, room by room, and determine how you want to use each space.

Identify which items support the purpose of the room and which ones should be moved elsewhere.

Keep a few boxes handy so you can easily transport smaller items to their appropriate rooms.

A SHOE-IN FOR OFFICE SUPPLY STORAGE. Use the pockets of a

clear vinyl shoe bag to hold just about everything you need for the office, from spare scissors to extra batteries. These usually come with hooks so you can hang them over the door, allowing you to tap into previously unused space.

EVERYTHING NEEDS A HOME.

Whenever you bring a new item into your home, immediately find a permanent place for it to live.

To help you determine the best spot for it, ask yourself what else is like it, and where (and how often) you will use it. Store similar things together and store items near their place of use. Items used daily should be placed in the most accessible areas, whereas seldom-used items can be stored in out-of-the way spaces. Keep a label-maker handy to label drawers, shelves and containers so you don’t have to rely on your memory when you need to find something quickly.

instruction manual and tape it to the bottom of the item so it’s easy to find. For portable items like cell phones and MP3 players, store the manuals in an accordion file by category.

WHERE DID I LEAVE MY KEYS? The

most common excuse for lateness?

“I couldn’t find my keys.” It’s hard to be successful if you can’t even leave your home. Save yourself the frustration and embarrassment by simply making an extra set of keys and keeping them in a special place. Give another set to a relative or neighbour in case of emergency.

Create a home for your keys and always place them there when you arrive. You can use a bowl, a small basket or a hook. If all else fails, attach a beeper to your keys that you can activate when they go missing.

Tiffany Pratt on her speaking tour, at a stop at Urban Capital’s Queensway Park in Etobicoke.

1. KEEP A COLOUR LOG

3. USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

For a week, pay attention to colours you see when you’re watching TV, shopping at the mall or grocery store, or even taking a walk through a park. If you really open yourself up and pay attention to colours, you’ll notice which ones you react to positively. Take photos on your phone and when it comes time to decorate, try to incorporate those colours into your home.

We all have items that are dated or beat up that we can’t wait to get rid of. But, often all these pieces need is a fresh coat of paint and new hardware to give your space a fresh new look. Be creative with that chipped bedside table, and don’t be afraid to re-upholster those dining room chairs with a fun new pattern and material. There are many step-by-step tutorials you can follow online.

2. WALLPAPER IS YOUR FRIEND

Her trademark hair and big energy make Tiffany Pratt unforgettable. Tiffany fell in love with beautiful things at a young age. Today, that appreciation for beauty has carried through to her day-to-day work. As a designer, stylist, maker and author, she is trained to see the exquisite in the unexpected. Her style mixes old with new and merges elegant with livable. Above all, she lives and breathes her truth that “this can be beautiful.”

Gone are the days of your grandmother’s wallpaper that took forever to remove and sometimes damaged the walls. Today’s wallpaper is easy to apply and is hassle-free when the time comes to change it up. I always recommend wallpaper, especially for accent walls, as it’s a cheap and easy way to totally change the look of a room, and it can be done as often as you like.

EVENTS

TOP 9 EVENTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN 2018

by JOSÉ GONZALEZ Headliners are still in the works, so stay tuned.

As 2017 fades into a lovely memory, it’s time to think about having fun in Toronto in 2018.

Masters Indigenous Games July 12 to 15 Toronto receives the honour of being the site of the inaugural Masters Indigenous Games, welcoming Indigenous athletes to compete in a number of traditional and contemporary sporting events.

The Bentway Launch January 6 The space underneath the Gardiner Expressway is being transformed into a skating trail!

The skating rink – which will be open until March – launches with a big celebration on January 6, when you can enjoy live music

by Carmen Braden, an ice skating breakdancing hybrid performance, food, art installations and music.

Toronto Caribbean Carnival July 13 to August 9 One of the biggest parties of the year, and perhaps better known to Torontonians as Carabana, this annual tradition includes a massive parade filled with costumes and music fresh from the Caribbean. This year marks the festival’s 50th anniversary.

International Autoshow February 16 to 25 This year’s auto show includes an exhibition featuring the art and icons of automotive design, a look at the evolving technology of the automobile and a display of exotic cars.

Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors March 3 to May 27 This Japanese artist’s multi34

reflective infinity mirror rooms finally arrive in Toronto, and if its popularity in other cities is any indication, you might want to book your tickets early. There are six rooms in total, and you’re only allowed entry once for about 20 to 30 seconds. Be prepared for an immersive art experience.

Hot Docs Film Festival April 26 to May 6 Toronto’s second most popular film festival is still one of the biggest festivals for documentary films in the world, welcoming nearly 200 films from documentarians from around the globe.

NXNE June 8 to 17 One of the premiere musical festivals in the city, NXNE is moving back to its old home at Yonge-Dundas Square.

Nuit Blanche September 29 This Parisian transplant in Toronto continues to dazzle art lovers with innovative installations across the city. This year Nuit Blanche expands even further, with art to be displayed for the first time in Scarborough.

ADVICE | MOVING

FIVE WAYS

TO MAKE MOVING A CLEANER, GREENER PROCESS

CHUCK RESNICK We need to think of the environment with every activity — even moving day can be cleaner and greener, and it doesn’t take much effort.

Waste caused by the moving process not only stems from packing supplies, but also from the waste accumulated over many years within a home. Both can be extremely taxing on the environment if not properly managed. Here are some suggestions on how to make your move a cleaner, greener process: 1 PLAN AHEAD. Waiting until the

last minute to prepare for a move will make any environmental concerns an afterthought. Start early so you have the extra time to sort through recyclable items – in your apartment and in storage – for delivery to recycling depots prior to moving day. Typically your storage contains the highest concentration of recyclable waste, so start the sorting process there first. Consider holding a garage sale or donating gently used but no longer wanted items to a charity rather than have them end up in a landfill site.

2 RESEARCH. Survey local

recycling options to find the most convenient solution for recyclables. Many cities offer curbside pick-up or “sort and 36

drop” depots. Visit earth911.com for a list of local organizations that can dispose of all types of recyclable materials.

3 ORGANIZE. Prepare recyclables

by organizing into categories: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc. Look up the requirements of the local recycler to see if there are any additional steps needed to prepare recyclables beforehand.

4 CARE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. As you clean in preparation to move, be conscientious about the kinds of materials being packed to move with you and which items are to be disposed. Toxic items, such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides and fertilizers are dangerous and cannot be transported in the back of a commercial moving truck. Also consider these items cannot be thrown out with your regular garbage. Look up the specialized

recycling depots for toxic products in your city.

5 REUSE. Do not throw away

used moving boxes when the move is complete. A well-made corrugated box is great for storage or may be reused for a future move or passed on to someone else who is moving. Contact local schools or charity organizations, such as women’s shelters, scout troops, and food banks to ask if they need boxes to redistribute donated items. Donating gently used boxes not only reduces waste, but can be a big help in support of a good cause.
