Renovating for life’s changes

O

ne thing we can count on in life is change. As we experience these changes, we will discover that our renovation needs also change.

Getting married often leads to homeownership. Renovations at this point are typically cosmetic as the new couple works to make their house their own. This may include updating the kitchen, bathrooms or flooring.

Kids entering the picture is a big change for any household. With kids comes the need to add more living space. Developing the basement is an excellent solution. Another idea is to build an addition. The feature on page 12 shows how building a main floor addition, containing the master bedroom with ensuite, completely changed the quality of life for this family. No more living in tight quarters upstairs! The kids have plenty of room, while mom and dad have their own luxury living area.

After the children leave home, there may be a desire to downsize.

Less household upkeep can allow for a simplified and improved lifestyle.

However, for many, the thought of having less square footage is a bit overwhelming. You can be rest assured that living in a smaller space can be very functional and of course, warm and cozy. The home featured on page 54 shows how downsizing can be accomplished with style and sophistication. There are so many ingenious new products available that are designed to maximize your living space. Check out some of them on pages 28 and 29.

Regardless of where you are at in life, improvements can be made to your home to help make life better. Enjoy your winter months and happy renovating!

River Heights couple’s wish-list fulfilled

by MARGARET ANNE FEHR Photography by SCOTT KROEKER PHOTOGRAPHY

12 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

WHEN ANGELA AND TREVOR decided to embark on a full-scale renovation to their North River Heights home, they’d had 13 years to create a must-have wish-list for their 75 year old house.

“We knew we wanted to open everything up between the kitchen and dining room to host events for family and friends,” says Angela. “We knew we needed more storage and closet space and with a growing family it was time to add a main floor bedroom and ensuite and reconfigure the second floor to accommodate the needs of our two kids.”

But there were features of the original 1600 square foot home worth preserving like the graceful arches that transition between rooms and textured wall details that were popular in the 1940’s when the house was built. “When we were building, we wanted to make sure that the window casings and baseboards matched

the original style. The living room fireplace was redone with marble surround but the mantel is original,” says Angela.

Angela and Trevor consider that they were fortunate to meet Rick Legaré, owner of Dynasty Homes to captain their ambitious plans. After visiting a Dynasty Homes show home in Charleswood, the couple was impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail and they felt ready to proceed having found a builder they trusted.

The most dramatic structural element was taking down the dividing walls between kitchen, dining room and foyer to create the open concept space the couple listed as number one on their wish-list.

Trevor and Angela came up with the concept and the Dynasty design and drafting team put it all together. The couple replied on Rick’s expertise when questions cropped

up, in particular, the structural direction on the installation of the steel I-beam to make possible the removal of load-bearing walls in the kitchen/dining area as well as the master bedroom/ensuite main floor addition.

Finishing touches were well thought out. The kitchen offers a two-colour palette with White Shaker style uppers and Gunmetal Blue lowers. Cabinets reach to the ceiling with crown mouldings and subway tiles swath the kitchen’s perimeter. The countertops are quartz while Trevor handcrafted the island’s butcher block surface.

Engineered hardwood replaced the flooring while the main staircase proved to be a hidden treasure once the carpet was removed. “Underneath we uncovered the original hardwood on the stairs, so we refinished them,” says Angela.

vintage touch within the refurbished space.

The master bedroom and attached ensuite along with a powder room occupy the main floor addition. The master was custom fitted with full wall-to-wall closets, another check off the couple’s wish-list, and a trio of windows let in the light while preserving privacy. The ensuite features a spacious walk-in shower with bench, rainshower head and hand-held shower.

The renovation also included the entire exterior of the house and the building of an attractive addition. Hardie Board siding, a low-maintenance product was installed to revive the home’s curb appeal.

From design and planning to build completion took about 5 months. “During that time,” says Angela, “we were so impressed with how the project was handled. Dynasty Homes’ trades and crew were so respectful and wonderful!

16 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

I’d recommend Rick and Dynasty to anyone who is looking for a quality contractor to tackle their renovation.”

Rick enjoyed working with Angela and Trevor and appreciated that “they had chosen some really nice finishing materials for the project. There were some surprises that presented themselves; in this case there were some insulation issues, but we’ve worked with older homes before and know how to adjust to conditions as we find them.”

LANNY MCINNES

ngoing professional development is a key piece of what differentiates a Manitoba Home Builders’ Association member from other residential construction companies in Manitoba.

MHBA builder and renovator members keep up to date with the newest information and trends, the latest best practices, and newest building technologies that help ensure their work is of the highest quality.

The MHBA’s annual Housing Forum and Building Trade Show provides MHBA builder and renovator members with two days of education and training sessions. This year’s Forum, which took place on November 6 and 7, provided MHBA builder and renovator members with the latest information and best practices regarding residential construction. Improving sub-contractor safety, understanding new home buyer preferences, and a panel discussion on the future of residential development in and around Winnipeg were just some of the many sessions available to MHBA members at this year’s Housing Forum.

MHBA members were also able to attend information sessions that shared marketing tips and expertise as well as sessions that provided training in workplace wellness and employee engagement. Through the Building Trade Show, MHBA members also experience cutting edge building technology and the newest in building materials.

As well, the MHBA once again hosted a new safety training program specifically for home renovators at this year’s Housing Forum. The MHBA has partnered with the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba (CSAM) to develop a specific safety training program for home renovators to promote and achieve greater safety results for renovators. The successful completion of this program

18 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

is now a requirement for all MHBA Renovator members.

The MHBA is very excited to provide these training tools to our members to help ensure that they are working in a safe work environment. The training program outlines health and safety roles and responsibilities, how to do proper hazard assessments, and implement proper safety practices and procedures while working on renovation projects. The goal of this program is to help MHBA renovators improve safety on their worksites and keep our members up to date on the latest in safety procedures and best practices.

In addition to the annual Housing Forum, the MHBA provides ongoing education sessions throughout the year and continually shares the latest in industry best practices and information with our membership.

MHBA builders and renovators are committed to professional development and being up to date with the latest trends in residential construction. Our members build to the highest standards and are continually integrating the latest industry standards into their work.

So, when you see the MHBA logo, you know you are dealing with a company that is dedicated to quality.

KITCHEN Designer Jo Alcorn creates a dream kitchen for herself

26 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

When it came to the design of my kitchen, I chose my appliances first. I knew I wanted something completely different and when I saw the new fingerprintresistant Sunset Bronze collection from Whirlpool (whirlpool.ca), I made this my jumping-off point for the entire space. With a brushed, satin finish and rose gold undertones, this suite really is the crème-de-la-crème of my kitchen.

To complement the walls in my kitchen, I decided to stay true to my one real paint love – Jojo whitewash PF17 from Para (para.com). I find staying with the same colour in an open concept (like my home) gives the space a cohesive and continual look.

Next, I worked with DV Kitchen and Bath (dvkitchens. ca) to find the right cabinets for a clean, streamlined look.

I decided on a flat panel front but in trendy, gloss white; the gloss helps to bounce light and creates the illusion of a larger space. Plus, these cabinets are super easy to wipe down, keeping that new look and feel longer.

I added Caesarstone’s Calacatta Nuvo (caesarstone.ca) for the island, counters and backsplash. This countertop is stunning and durable. Selecting a primarily white countertop with white cabinets makes the area feel open and spacious.

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a hundred times: The faucet is the gem in the kitchen! I went with Delta’s Trinsic faucet

in champagne bronze (deltafaucet.ca). The design is simple, smart and elegant with an integrated pull down wand. Plus, the colour is a modern take on gold that pairs well with my stainless steel sink and warm-toned appliances.

I love how the herringbone-style floor turned out. I used a classic and timeless marble tile to balance the trendiness of the look. The result is amazing, and ties the cupboards, countertops, closet and paint all together. This tile came from Creek Side Tile (creeksidetile.com) where they have a vast selection to choose from.

Onto the finishing touches! The dishware and stools were found on Wayfair Canada (wayfair.ca). They have an extensive collection of affordable options and offer free shipping.

The blinds are TriLight that offer a unique combination of a sheer pleated shade on the top and a honeycomb shade on the bottom. It’s like having three looks in one – all sheer, all privacy or half and half. This design is exclusive to Budget Blinds (blinds.ca).

To polish off my dream kitchen, I chose to go with lights from Artcraft (artcraftlighting.com) that have lovely brass details. It brings the entire space together for a serene yet stunning look. I could not be happier with my kitchen refresh.

HUGE HOME IMPROVEMENT Oswald Construction top of mind for Fort Garry couple

by MARGARET ANNE FEHR photos by DUALITY PHOTOGRAPHIC

ANNE MARIE AND PEER are prime examples that home renovation projects needn’t involve large-scale expansions to make a major difference to the quality of home life.

The Fort Garry couple loves their 60 year old home with a generous sized backyard located in an established neighbourhood, and the plan was to expand their kitchen and create a more spacious mudroom off the back entrance by adding 160 square feet to the house footprint.

The addition expanded the kitchen by 100 square feet and another 60 square feet was used to create the mudroom and a new closet to make the comings and goings easier for this family of five. “Because we have a bungalow, our back landing was approximately 3 feet square and we have 3 kids so it was a very small space to get into or out of the house. We had to take turns,” says Anne Marie. “There was no place to store shoes, or jackets and now we have a closet so it makes an enormous difference.”

Anne Marie and Peer had no trouble choosing a contractor for their project having worked with Ralph Oswald of Oswald Construction to finish their basement in the previous year.

The addition expanded the kitchen by 100 square feet and another 60 square feet was used to create the mudroom and a new closet.

In the kitchen, the couple chose Shaker style maple cabinetry in dark espresso colour with strategically placed aluminum and frosted glass inserts to provide contrast and to harmonize with the new stainless appliances including the 8 foot high refrigerator.

The newly expanded kitchen is everything Anne Marie hoped for and more. The kitchen cabinets now soar up to the ceiling providing loads of extra storage space.

“We actually cleared out a hall closet of all our smaller appliances and put them in the kitchen which created a lot more free space in the rest of the house.”

we had company. Now with the glass cabinet, we moved our glasses from the china cabinet and liquor is stored underneath so that when we entertain, everything is in the same place,” says Anne Marie.

Ralph adds that there were 3 components to this renovation including the covered back deck/porch, the mudroom and kitchen, as well as the bathroom. “It wasn’t a really grandiose type of job but the visual results created a huge impact. The kitchen increased in size with the extra 8 feet added in there, along with opening up the back landing and stairwell.”

“These were wonderful folks to work with, “says Ralph.

“They were good at making decisions which helps the process.”

Anne Marie and Peer were happy to welcome Ralph and crew back for a second time.

“Ralph knows his business and he’s practical. He helps you make decisions so that you’re not spending a ridiculous amount of money.We would definitely recommend Oswald Construction to anyone. Ralph is an excellent communicator between his project manager and his crew.”

“We’re thrilled with the results! It was about making it a great space for us and having it for a long time and that’s exactly what was accomplished.”

recently read an online article about yet another tragic situation of a woman who had been left hanging by an alleged unscrupulous renovation firm somewhere in Ontario. Turns out, their house had been stripped bare to the bones and then no sight of the contractor after that. Now winter is upon them without insulated walls in their house and limited heat and water.

Nothing burns me more when I hear these stories, of which there are far too many and, as industry professionals, it makes it worse for us as the reputation of legitimate contractors takes a beating every time this comes up. There is no reason this should happen, but upon reading further there were certainly some red flags that, if they had been acted upon, the whole situation may have been avoided.

This person had been looking for a full home renovation with addition, with what turned out to be a “too good to be true price.” This should be a flag to everyone not to get caught in this trap because it sounds good. So, I thought I would point out some of the “too good to be true flags” you should look for to avoid this situation yourselves.

1. As stated, if the price is way low for the work you want done, especially if you have two other prices that are much higher, it’s likely too good to be true.

2. If they say they can get your building permit ready in a couple of weeks, it’s too good to be true.

38 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

3. If they say your home renovation can be done in a few weeks and the scope of work is large, it’s for sure too good to be true.

4. “We can start this week,” usually too good to be true. If they are that available there’s probably a reason why!

5. “I can do everything myself, so we won’t need to hire sub-trades,” is definitely too good to be true.

Separate licenses and permits are needed for specialty trades like plumbing and electrical.

I’m limited in the size of this column, but these are certainly some of the main indicators to watch for with “too good to be true” contractors.

Good luck and very best wishes for you and your families for the Christmas Season!

Holmes on HGTV Canada, an indemand public speaker and healthy home advocate. Mike recently gave Home Decor & Renovations magazine (HDR) an exclusive interview on what Winnipeg attendees can expect to hear on his Lifestyle stage presentations presented by EcoPoxy.

HDR: Can you give us a preview of what you have in mind for your Lifestyle Stage presentations?

MHJ: What I want to talk to people about is the concept of renovating right. It’s a loaded statement but it really means prioritizing your renovation by addressing wall assembly, mechanical issues and so on. It’s about doing those things in the right order.

HDR: So, it’s really about going back to basics before you start picking finishes and all those other things?

MHJ: To be honest, it is everything but the finishes. Everyone is so gungho to address the finishes but what they are not addressing is the proper build. The finishes really don’t mean much if your home can’t protect you from the elements or if you have to renovate the inside of your wall because of poor mechanical, poor structure or poor insulation. It’s about prioritizing your renovation so you don’t have to do it twice down the road.

HDR: You are a healthy home advocate. Why is that important for you and why should homeowners be educated on this?

MHJ: Everyone wants to feel safe in their own home, but it’s important to realize that we often have very poor indoor air quality. Testing for mould spores done by an air quality professional is a start. Testing for radon gas, which is the number one cause of lung cancer for non-smokers, is another and can be done by the homeowner. It’s easy to test for and is an inexpensive way to solve the problem.

HDR: What’s the best piece of advice or guidance you’ve got from your father?

MHJ: I always tell people, do it right the first time. I think that can apply to so many things in your life.

‘FOREVER’

Backsplash creates continuity in kitchen

by Margaret Anne Fehr Photography by DUALITY PHOTOGRAPHIC

WHEN ASHLEY DISCOVERED his passion for home cooking, he and wife Teri Lynn had little idea how much it would affect their home renovation plans for their River Heights bungalow built in 1959.

With just a pocket door between kitchen and dining room, engaging socially with guests while Ashley was prepping and cooking was simply not possible.

“Our old kitchen had virtually no counter space and the layout was so cramped, there was only room for one person at a time. There was no way we could host family dinners because of the lack of space to prepare and serve.”

“The idea was to create a space where I could cook and we could have fellowship with our guests between the kitchen, living, and dining rooms. That led to uniting the rooms by removing a portion of the dividing wall and voila, instant connection!”

‘‘

“The attention to detail is phenomenal. We know what we’re going to get when we order from Torino.”

This social isolation between cook and company was the motivation for the couple to do a major kitchen renovation.

“The idea was to create a space where I could cook and we could have fellowship with our guests between the kitchen, living, and dining rooms. That led to uniting the rooms by removing a portion of the dividing wall and voila, instant connection!”

With the channel of communication now created, Ashley and Teri turned their attention to creating a gourmand kitchen that would do justice to Ashley’s culinary ambitions.

When the time came to consider a backsplash, the couple knew who to call. “Torino had done the tile work in our bathroom on a previous job and we were extremely pleased with the work they did. So our first call was to Sandra Nelson, owner at Torino Tile and Stone, to set things up.”

“The backsplash was the last design element to be

integrated into the kitchen, and Sandra came to our house with samples and then talked us through it and pretty much sold us on the tile, design and layout.”

Sandra explains that the tile was an Elongated Ceramic Hexagon tile in Grey Gloss. “It is installed on a grid pattern with a maintenance-free acrylic grout in Cobblestone.

Gloss means it’s easy to clean since it’s in a working area where cleanliness is important.”

Ashley and Teri agree that the backsplash tile is really the ribbon that ties everything together. “It pulls the Super-White

granite countertop in; it’s complementary to the stainless steel appliances, and the way it’s installed makes everything look big, tall and spacious. From a design and layout perspective, it’s phenomenal and Torino Tile’s installation person, Brennan, is equally phenomenal,” says Ashley.

A backsplash was also installed on the breakfast bar side of the kitchen across from the cooking area to establish continuity throughout the space.

46 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

Ashley commends Torino Tile and Stone on the installation which took about 4 days to complete since there were a series of intricate cuts to accomplish. “The attention to detail is phenomenal. We know what we’re going to get when we order from Torino. We will always pay for their installation services because of their quality standards and of course, we recommend them highly to others.”

Ashley and Teri consider their River Heights bungalow as their ‘forever’ home. ”We have no intention of selling this house. When we designed and built the kitchen, we went thoroughly over budget. We also said these are lifetime moments and we consider them as investments in our future.”

“And when we talked to Sandra it was never, ‘how much is this going to cost?’ We said, this is our forever home. This is where we’re going to stay put. Now make it beautiful!”

The New Neutral: Colours we are seeing everywhere

P

CURTIS BRESLAW

ainting a room in your home can be fun and exciting. It is incredible what a change in color can do to brighten or open up space. By simply spending a little money on paint, you can transform a room into a new place to relax and enjoy. When it comes to paint colors, neutral tones are always an excellent choice.

Each year, we see new neutral tones take the spotlight, providing a different way in which to enjoy a basic color in the home. Below are a few examples of new neutrals that you can use to transform any room in your home.

room of the home. You can use such colors and pull out the tones as your accents for a beautiful monochromatic space. Try a light gray-blue in the bathroom for a calming effort or a purple toned gray for your bedroom for a soothing sleeping area.

PASTELS

COLORFUL GRAYS

Another option you can consider for a neutral palette is pastels. We are not talking about your baby room colors but rather lighter than light pinks, blues, yellows and greens for just a hint of color. With the tinted shades of white or beige, you can have a hint of color on the wall without going full-on pink or yellow. These lightly colored shades provide a small amount of color which you can pair with bright accents or printed pieces for a lovely look in the home. Go for a super light shade for a subtle hint of color or go a little bit darker, so the color you choose shines out just a little bit more.

These are just a few of the neutral color options that are popular for 2018.

When repainting rooms in the home, try a few samples of your favorite shades and view them in different lighting styles to find the right color for your space.

Gone are the days when dark or light gray are your only gray choices. Today’s gray neutrals are mixed with blue and purple tints to create lovely shades of gray that go perfectly in any

Curtis Breslaw is the President of All Canadian Renovations Ltd.

WHY NEUTRAL COLORS?

To begin, you might be wondering why neutral tones are used in the home. While some people like to be bold with their color choice, neutrals allow you more freedom when decorating, so you are not stuck to one color palette. You are also able to tone down your home when in the market to sell or rent. Overall, neutral tones can create a lovely space that you can enjoy for years to come rather than having to repaint after tiring of a bold color.

COFFEE TONES

Who doesn’t love a creamy cup of coffee? For new neutral tones in 2018, coffee colors are quite popular. From deep caramels to light marble creams, there are many ways to add coffee tones to the home. These beige base neutral colors help to create a perfect backdrop for any decorative color scheme. You can add pops of color with draperies and accents, easily changing up your décor in the future without having to repaint.

downsizing

at its FINEST

by LYNN FENWICK, B.I.D.

54 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

DOWNSIZING IS A COMMON STEP in most people’s lives. Eventually the kids move out and you find that there isn’t the need for all of the space that a growing family needs. Then there is dealing with all of that upkeep!

Downsizing can be an exciting change, but is also quite difficult to deal with the sudden lack of space you once had. Moving from a large house to a condo leaves most people with the questions – “where do I place all of my belongings that I’ve accumulated over the years? How do I maximize a smaller space to feel as spacious as my previous house?” We are always trying to think of unique ways to maximize a client’s space to its full potential – in

both beauty and functionality. This is a constant, but welcomed challenge for us as interior designers.

Our client Mary, had just downsized to a condo. She found out that Fenwick & Company had partially redesigned the space for the previous owner about 10 years ago. Mary loved the unique kitchen and bathrooms that we had designed so she called on us to finish the project and create her dream condo. She began with the request to refresh the rest of the spaces. She also wanted to finish the lower level of the condo, which at the time was just an open space. Finally, she wanted more storage for her special pieces and other belongings throughout the space, but was unsure about where she could add this due to the open nature of the condo.

TOP LEFT IMAGE

We designed a unit that would double as both an entertainment unit and a display unit for Mary’s pieces of art.

TOP RIGHT IMAGE

The first thing visible when you walk into her condo are beautiful ginger maple closet doors with stainless steel inserts.

NextHome.ca 55

TOP IMAGE

There was an awkward short closet on the wall under an angled portion of the ceiling. We decided to embrace this and make it into a unique detail. We built out and panelled the whole wall and added a hidden touch-latch door between a set of these panels. We added shelving on the inside of this closet and dedicated it to storage for her shoes!

wall as much as we could to expand the space, tiled with a gorgeous sand patterned, polished tile to the ceiling and added a contemporary style ribbon fireplace. This in itself made the space feel more luxurious by bringing attention to the volume of the room.

THE DINING AREA

THE GREAT ROOM

Mary wanted a Great Room for entertaining that would have an elegant feeling and give a “wow” factor as soon as people walked in the door. The first thing visible when you walk into her condo are beautiful ginger maple closet doors with stainless steel inserts. In the background is the view of the unique curved kitchen peninsula with the same finishes.

We had designed these two elements for the previous owners. Still in great shape, they did not need to be touched, but the rest of the space needed to be cohesive with this design. The existing fireplace in the Great Room was angled with a TV mounted above. We pushed back this 56 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

Mary had many pieces of art that she had collected over the years that she wanted to display in this main area. Since the condo is open and narrow, this was a bit of a challenge.

Mary’s partner Rob had wanted a TV somewhere in the space so that he could watch TV in the morning while eating breakfast, but Mary didn’t want to have a TV on the main floor. With that in mind, we designed a unit that would double as both an entertainment unit and a display unit for her pieces of art. This was especially exciting for Alex of Fenwick and Company to design since multi-purpose pieces are her specialty! We used a combination of white lacquered and ginger stained panels to tie into the cabinetry in the kitchen. Each of these panels had different functions.

The top half of the unit is open compartments for Mary’s pieces of art. We then designed a compartment for Rob’s TV with sliding doors front that can conceal the TV when not in use. The rest of the unit is composed of doors and drawers for additional storage. This was a great solution for Mary because the unit itself looks like a work of art, easily hides the TV, and provides her with extra storage without feeling like it’s a hindrance on the space. To finish off this space, we added fresh paint, new elegant light fixtures and modern furniture.

SECOND FLOOR LOFT

Mary wanted her main relaxing area to be on the second floor loft. Here we designed another TV unit, but this was designed with more focus on the large TV. We designed a unit that would float above the floor and would contain storage space for books. All of the doors and drawers were

touch latch to keep a clean and consistent look throughout the space. We paired this with big comfortable furniture to create the perfect space to relax.

MASTER BEDROOM

In this condo, the entire third floor is dedicated to the master suite. Originally, we had the opportunity to design the ensuite which still looked great. The rest of the area however, needed a facelift. The walk in closet was very small compared to the massive bedroom area. We extended the closet into the bedroom and maximized all of the closet space we gained. We designed new millwork for hanging and added a storage tower in the middle of one wall with drawers and open shelves. We completed this with a gorgeous light fixture, enhancing the glamorous edge to the room. There was only one main challenge in the bedroom area. There was an awkward short closet on the wall under an angled portion of the ceiling. We decided to embrace this and make it into a unique detail. We built out and panelled the whole wall and added a hidden touch-latch door between a set of these panels. We added shelving on the inside of this closet and dedicated it to

storage for her shoes! Who wouldn’t love that?!

LOWER LEVEL

The lower level was a blank slate so we wanted to optimize this space to make it livable. We added an office, bathroom, recreational room, and laundry room to complete this space. The bathroom was a bit of a challenge due to the ceiling height changes in the space from ductwork. With a lot of planning, we managed to fit everything in perfectly and create a beautiful and fully functional bathroom. To end it off we added a storage cabinet at the base of the stairs for extra coats, gloves, and anything else that couldn’t be stored at the front or back doors.

We understand how downsizing can be a huge adjustment in your life. That is why we approach each project knowing it will be as unique as its owners. We embrace the challenges and opportunities that each renovation brings. Along with creating a space that is beautiful and functional, our objective is always to make our clients’ renovations as seamless and fun as possible. When you walk in the door of your newly renovated space we want you to feel like you are truly at home.

Designed so you can cook ‘la plancha’ style, the 40 inch diameter rim is a cooking surface that develops non-stick properties as it seasons, and the 19 inch removable raised grill offers an additional cooking surface for grilling. When the weather turns cooler, the Le Bol is designed to stay outside and it generously radiates heat to gather around.

Q fireplace series from Enviro Sit back and relax, enjoying the warm glow and classic style from your Enviro Q series of gas fireplaces.

Ranging in physical sizes, these zero clearance fireplaces incorporate stylish design options, such as the Forgeworks face or the Ledgestone liner. You can select from the various modules, mixing and matching to give you the perfect fireplace for your home.

MODERN Designer Lisa Canning creates a modern, monochromatic basement that facilitates all her family’s needs.

KEEP THE PALETTE BLACK AND WHITE

I love colour, but I wanted to try something different and edgy in my basement. Creating this space has shown me the power of a minimal palette of black and white. The way to keep things interesting is to vary your patterns but within the black and white theme. Think stripes, geometric prints and high contrast cabinetry.

UTILIZE FLOOR-TO-CEILING CABINETRY

Putting in floor-to-ceiling cabinetry is my secret weapon in playrooms. This allows you to hide all the visual clutter 62 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

and chaos that comes with toys, books, cards and all that fun stuff behind beautiful, closed storage. You get to close the door on visual clutter, and it is a big reason why I love spending time in this room. I worked with Tailored Living (tailoredliving.com) in this space. They make it so convenient for you to achieve organizational goals.

I wanted high contrast in the cabinetry, so I chose white modern shaker cabinets on the perimeter of the room, and dark drawer fronts on this generous island that allows my kids ample room to spread out and get messy. I used laminate for its durability as well as its

accessible price point. To add a bit of sparkle to the space, I added handmade, rustic pulls by Shayne Fox Hardware (shaynefoxhardware.com).

KEEP THE BLACK MATTE

I chose to put a sink in this space, as it’s so practical with my seven little kids. In keeping with my monochromatic colour scheme, I chose Delta’s (deltafaucet.ca) new Esque faucet. And, I continued the matte black with the wall paint colour. I don’t think I would have been as bold to do this if I did not have so much natural light in this space – but I’m so pleased with how this Wrought Iron colour by Benjamin Moore (benjaminmoore.ca) turned out. Whenever I use dark shades, I like using it with a matte finish, as opposed to eggshell or satin. It’s rich and lush and I love its modern look.

USE LARGE-SCALE ART FOR A GRAPHIC ELEMENT

We had large individual portraits of my children blown up to fit these inexpensive frames. This might be my favourite element in my basement. We hung them around our TV about three inches apart, and it creates a graphic element that makes me smile every time I enter the room. Keeping things black and white helps the TV blend in.

CREATE A SPACE FOR THE GROWN-UPS

Sometimes mom and dad need a moment, but still need

to keep an eye on the little ones, so we created a home office in the basement. I put in an electric fireplace media unit by Dimplex (dimplex.com) in this space, and I love how it creates instant cosiness with the press of a button. You can put an electric fireplace virtually anywhere you can run the correct power, and the results are fast, stylish, cosy and so comfortable. There is something about a fireplace that promotes instant comfort and relaxation at home, don’t you think? Talk about a multi-purpose room!

OFFERS LIGHT YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE

by MARGARET ANNE FEHR photography by DUALITY PHOTOGRAPHIC

64 Home Decor & Renovations | DEC 2018 - JAN 2019

FOR OVER 70 YEARS, SUPER-LITE has been a leading

light in Winnipeg (no pun intended) for both residential and commercial lighting products. Chances are that the majority of Winnipeggers have had or currently have a Super-Lite lighting fixture installed in their homes or offices.

Not only can Super-Lite claim a long history but it is also stands out as the largest lighting showroom in Manitoba and one of the tenth largest showrooms in Canada, with 10,000 square feet of showroom space and 24,000 square feet of warehouse space. “We are unique in having a large warehouse, not common for other showrooms,” says Simon Simkin, president of Super-Lite “Super-Lite distinguishes itself as a retailer and wholesaler of decorative lighting products whether they are used commercially in bars, hotels, and restaurants, residentially in homes, condos or apartment buildings or in office reception areas. That’s our wheelhouse, our specialty.”

Super-Lite’s inventory is impressive with products sourced from hundreds of suppliers in Canada, the US and Europe.

Super-Lite is squarely situated in the heart of Winnipeg’s construction boom at 1040 Waverley Street.

efficiencies that today’s lighting fixtures deliver in long term performance.

But looking at the company’s success from a business standpoint, Simkin stresses that product alone is not enough, that it must be backed with a level of customer

service that guides clients in finding a perfect match for their particular needs and budgets.

Super-Lite’s expert staff consists of 40 full-time employees who are steeped in product knowledge in an industry that is seeing sweeping changes towards energy efficiency. “We spend a lot of time keeping our staff up to date with the newest, brightest and best on the market.

We bring in manufacturers’ representatives to give product knowledge briefings to our staff. We also tap into our own talent pool that can give information on their area of expertise through regular internal product knowledge sessions and instruct our staff on how best to deliver that information to our customers.”

“The supplier reps are here every week either reviewing their stock, answering questions, making sure their catalogs are up to date, and they know every one of our sales people and probably all of our office staff so we are constantly in the know about cutting edge developments,” says Simkin.

Super-Lite is squarely situated in the heart of Winnipeg’s construction boom at 1040 Waverley Street where residential, condo and commercial development is occurring robustly in the city’s southeast and southwest areas.

“We are in the heart of traffic patterns where we are visible to the public. It’s made for an easier shopping experience for our customers, who for the most part live in the area. A lot of them are renovating so it makes it especially convenient for those people.”

Home Decor & Renovations gets you ready for the busy entertaining season with tips and a recipe from celebrity chef, Anna Olson.

Entertain with ease THE FREEZER IS YOUR FRIEND. Getting ahead of your holiday baking means making what you can now and freezing it for later use. As a general note, baked cookies with less sugar freeze better than cookies with a lot of sugar. Try freezing your cookie doughs and then bake when needed. The doughs take up less room in the freezer, and all of the hard work is done – you just have to thaw and bake. Remember to label the cookie doughs and include the baking instructions.

MAKE A LIST. To get yourself ready for hosting a big holiday meal, do what a chef does, make a list. After you’ve picked your recipes, then you can write out a list of what can be done a week ahead, two-three days ahead, a day ahead and what has to be done last minute (and it will feel less overwhelming). This will help you organize your shopping list, too.

PLAN YOUR MENU. When planning your big holiday meal, of course, you have to make the family favourites, but if you are adding some new dishes, take time to plan how many need to go into the oven or be cooked on the stove.

Too many pots on the stove? Then switch your mashed potatoes to roasted or scalloped, to fit them into the oven. No room for the ham in the oven? Consider baking it overnight at 275F – it smells fantastic as you wake up!

TAKE CARE OF THE SMALL THINGS. To avoid that last-minute panic when hosting a party, take care of little fussy tasks the day before. Chop parsley or chives, slice your lemons and limes and do your chocolate shavings all ahead so that when your guests are walking through the front door, you just have to sprinkle and garnish with a smile.
