HOW TO CREATE AN

OUTDOOR OASIS

by LISA ROGERS

Now that the summer is upon us, we’re all itching to get outside, head to our little outdoor oasis and raise our faces to the sun.

Just because you live in an apartment or townhome, doesn’t mean you can’t have a lush, beautiful garden. Anyone can have a gorgeous garden right on the deck or terrace with a little pre-planning, some fundamental principles and great looking containers.

ASSESS YOUR SPACE

Figure out how much room there is, and the type of exposure – 18

Renters Guide | July 29–Aug. 12, 2022

higher floors on an apartment create different planting zones, because they are more exposed to harsh sun and wind. Check with the nursery to see which plants are hardiest under whatever conditions you have.

Calculate the amount of sun – and whether it’s morning or afternoon sun – to determine the type of plants. If there’s a lot of shade, you’ll be checking out impatiens, periwinkle, Hostas and hydrangeas; while geraniums, salvia, coneflowers and peonies are sun worshipers. To create

pockets of shade, try planter boxes along the railing, letting the ivy trail and providing cover for plants below.

CREATE A GARDEN PLAN

You want to enjoy the garden not just outside, but from every vantage point inside, as well, so figure out the views to coordinate colours and feel. Alternatively, maybe your clean-lined modern interior would be great with a riot of colour to draw the eye outside.

Keep proportion and ratio in mind, so vary the heights of

plants by mixing tall plants such as palms or tropical trees with shorter bushes. Tall plants also create privacy from neighbours, as do trellises – but check with your apartment management to see if you’re allowed to install those. Add a couple of comfy chairs and a small table, and you’ve created an oasis.

Decide on a colour scheme – not only simple but beautiful and elegant, too, as it will restrain you from buying every plant at the store. Choose two or three plants and repeat them. It saves money in the long run and creates a unified look that is calming and easier to care for.

CONTAINERS

They come in such a variety of sizes, they’ll help with the varied heights. Now in durable lightweight materials that look like wood or stone, they’re easy to move around. And so easy – no mulch, weeding or digging.

If you like a clean look, choose identical containers that complement simple plant colours,

such as glossy green leaves and white blooms. If it’s a cottage-like effect you’re after, use anything – an old metal wash bucket for growing herbs, wire egg baskets for hanging planters, for those coral geraniums and pink begonias, lime green or silvery foliage.

You can also use perennials in your containers – although they don’t spread quite like annuals, and if you’re in an apartment you’re not likely to overwater them. In a large pot, place the tallest plant in the centre, and lower the heights as you move outward. For example, surround a tall tree or bush such as hibiscus or Mandevilla, with shorter transition plants and add trailers at the edge.

Best money spent is on plants that spread – impatiens, portulacas, various ivy such as periwinkle and pachysandra – but leave enough room in the pot for them to grow. Otherwise they’ll die off after a month.

Bring out your indoor plants – they flourish outdoors in the summer as long as you keep

an eye on sun exposure, which can burn them. Ideal are rubber plants, Schefflera and Christmas cactus.

It’s also fun to grow a tomato or basil plant or two. There’s nothing sweeter than freshly picked cherry tomatoes, and with the basil and a little bocconcini and olive oil, you’ll have a delightful summer snack.

When grouping containers, remember the three-five-seven principle – grouping in threes or fives or sevens. If you’re attaching pots to the fence, position at eye level; if they’re placed on top of the rail, you’ll see only the bottom of the pot when sitting down.

And finally, do add some garden accents. There’s nothing like the sound of water burbling all summer, so add a water feature.

Many of them are plug-in, and the water circulates within the feature. Add a fire pit while you’re at it – summer evenings can be chilly, though it’s also handy to have a basket of pashminas at the ready for wrapping around your shoulders.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

TRANSCONA

SUBURBAN CHARM WITH PLENTY OF AMENITIES

DAWN PETER

The name of Winnipeg’s Transcona neighbourhood is derived from the words Transcontinental and Strathcona, a reflection of the impact the railway and prominent Manitoban, Lord Strathcona, had on the area. The railway’s influence can still be felt on this workingclass suburb, whose borders include Springfield Road to the north, Perimeter Highway to the east, Dugald Road to the south, and Lagimodiere Boulevard to the west.

Initially constructed around the turn of the 20th century between two transcontinental railway lines for the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian National Railway, Transcona has long been a workingclass suburb with strong ties to the railways. Large rail yards and industrial areas once dominated the community, but over the years it has developed new residential areas with charming character homes, apartment buildings and ample green spaces for residents to enjoy.

ADVICE | RENTAL TIpS

what to look for in a rental Whether it’s your first apartment or your 10th, you’re going to want to find the home that best suits your needs. While looking for a new apartment, use this handy checklist to make sure you’ve covered all your bases.

THE RENTAL UNIT

• Is there a storage place for extra belongings such as bikes, luggage, etc.? Who has access to this place?

• Where is the closest bus stop?

• Is the apartment near services that are used regularly? (groceries, bank, fitness) • Is the rental unit clean? Who shovels the snow and cuts the grass? Who supplies the equipment (shovels, lawn mower)?

• Where can vehicles be parked? Is there good lighting outside and in the parking lot?

• How quiet or noisy is the rental unit during the evening for studying or sleeping?

• Are there laundry facilities?

Is there a schedule for use?

Is there a cost? Where is the closest laundromat?

• Does the building have Internet service, or can it be installed?

FINANCES

• How much is the rent?

• Is a security deposit required?

What is the amount?

• Does the rent include utilities: Heat, water, electricity, cable or Internet?

• Will a utility hook-up charge be extra?

• Will parking cost extra? What is the amount?

38

Renters Guide | July 29–Aug. 12, 2022

• Who has to pay for repairs — big ones and small ones?

AVOID ROOMMATE MISUNDERSTANDINGS

• Who will sign the residential tenancy agreement (lease)? It’s best that all parties be named on it.

• What will happen if one person needs to move out before the end of the lease?

• How will costs be shared and bills paid?

• How will problems be resolved?

QUESTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

• Is the lease for a fixed amount of time or month-to-month?

• When and where will the rent be paid? What happens if it is late?

Ask for receipts for any payments.

• Who do you contact if there is a problem?

• Have you arranged for tenants’ insurance?

• Are sublets okay? What about a roommate?

• Are pets allowed? Is a deposit required?

• Is smoking allowed?

• How long can guests stay?

• Are you able to decorate your unit? What is the policy about push pins and hammering nails in the walls?

• When and where are notices delivered when it’s time to move out?

• When will the inspection report be done.

It’s always a good idea to keep copies of documents related to your rental unit, including the tenancy agreement, inspection report and receipts. Asking the right questions and considering the answers before you sign on the dotted line will help you find a rental unit that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

Just starting out?

RENtiNg is youR best choice

JANE HERMAN

If you’re a young single, a fresh-at-work professional, or a recently married couple and you’re wondering what to do about housing, there are many good reasons why you should choose to rent instead of buying your first residence.

At this stage of your life, you may be finishing up your education, paying off student loans, or just beginning your first job(s). It’s not likely that you will have even accumulated enough cash to use as a down payment.

One of the many advantages renting has over home ownership is that there is no large down payment to be paid up front. You only have to come up with your first and last month’s rent.

And despite people who try to convince you that you can own a condominium or home for the same price as renting, here’s the truth: Renting is always substantially less than owning.

While it is possible that monthly mortgage payments might be comparable to what you’d pay to rent, as an owner, you will also have to pay property taxes, all maintenance expenses (either monthly maintenance payments in a condo, or all costs of repairs and maintenance in a house).

Many apartments include utilities or hydro in the rent, and when owning, you would also have to pay an additional amount for these 40 Renters Guide | July 29–Aug. 12, 2022

services. What about insurance?

Tenants’ insurance is always less expensive than the cost of insuring your own home.

At this stage of your life, flexibility is important because you are very likely to move again within the next three to five years, either to take another job, go back to school, or because your family is growing and your needs are changing. It’s much easier to make a move when your only obligation is a one-year lease.

Some people will also try to convince you that with renting, you’re not building equity. But when you factor in all the hidden costs of buying and selling real estate, from commissions, to legal fees to land transfer taxes, etc., the reality is that no condo or house is going to appreciate that much in the short term to offset those hidden costs. If you are lucky enough to actually have enough cash accumulated to use as a down payment on a house, keep it in a secure two- or three-year term investment with a good return.

When you run the numbers, you will be much further ahead three

years down the road than if you had invested it in a condo.

The other good reason for renting at this stage of your life is that renting can offer all of the benefits of living in a prime neighbourhood – one that you likely couldn’t afford to buy in – such as convenience to transportation, shopping, recreation facilities, etc., along with condo-quality amenities at a price that won’t leave you cashstrapped. With renting, you’ll be able to save a little every month for emergencies, travel, retirement, or have a little more disposable income for furniture, a car, clothing and entertainment, which is also important to you.

When you consider all the advantages that renting affords, you’ll see that your dream home is really an apartment!

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

WHEN MOVING, EVERYONE WINS PLAYING BY THE RULES

CHUCK RESNICK

When hiring a professional mover, one expects to have your possessions packed and/or transported safely. It is a common expectation, also shared by your movers. However, sometimes movers may be unable to take some of your belongings onto their truck.

Federal and provincial regulations prohibit movers from transporting hazardous materials such as – but not limited to – propane canisters, flammables or gasoline cans unless they are empty of fuel, as well as paints, solvents, firearms or anything deemed to be a hazardous material. It is important for consumers to understand what can and cannot be moved before the day arrives.

MOVERS ALSO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN GUIDELINES

At Two Men and a Truck - Canada, it is challenging for us to secure plants on our trucks and we prefer not to move valuables such as jewellery, stocks, bonds and cash – as examples. Common sense dictates that these are items you would want to take yourself.

If you have items of extraordinary value such as paintings, sculptures and antiques, let your mover know ahead of time. The issue here is insurance.

The basic package your mover 44 Renters Guide | July 29–Aug. 12, 2022

offers may not cover these pricey goods. You may need to arrange for additional insurance. Your renter’s insurance policy may even have a rider for goods in transit. It’s best to check with your insurance company.

It is critical to know and understand how much insurance your moving company carries.

Most provinces have a “Condition of Carriage” and most movers have their own set insurance amount. For example, at Two Men and a Truck - Canada, you are insured up to $250,000, and we offer replacement cost with a $250 deductible.

Extremely large items and tough-to-move items such as pianos, pool tables and massive wall units are a challenge. These types of large items should be discussed before moving day. We do move them every day. We use a piano board that makes it easier to move a baby grand, but it is much harder to move an upright piano, which takes muscle power, heavy duty dollies and a truck with a lift gate.

Another “rule” to be aware of if you live in an apartment building or condominium is arranging with your super or property manager to reserve the elevator for the time of your move.

Right up front, you should determine how this process works.

Let your mover know where the loading/unloading zone is, or whether they will have to walk items through the lobby to get to the elevator. The more your mover knows, the more accurate their estimate will be.

No one likes moving day surprises, including your mover.

Communication is key. So, once we all know where we stand, we can work together for a successful move.

ADVICE | ApArtmEntAlIty

CheCk rEfErEnCEs on a prospeCtive roomIE

kathryn kusyszyn Employers check references, landlords check references, and if you’re considering someone as a roommate, you should check their references, too. A person can seem charming initially, then later on turn into a nightmare. Do your homework and avoid such situations.

Have a rental application form that’s appropriate for your province. It will cover all the bases.

Discuss how they feel about overnight visitors, smoking, pets, sharing household chores and other mutual responsibilities. Ask

why they left their last place and how long they lived there.

The application should ask for references from a current employer, a previous landlord and at least one previous roommate.

By providing contact info, the prospective roommate is giving you permission to contact them.

When calling an employer, state that you are verifying the potential roommate’s employment status and character, not doing an employment check. Ask previous landlords how long the person lived there, whether they paid their rent on time and why they left.

Past roommates can be revealing. Ask how long they have known the person and how long they lived together.

Ask what they liked and disliked

free

about living with them and why they went separate ways.

If someone cannot provide any references or if none of their references are forthcoming, beware.

You will be living with this person in close quarters and relying on them to fulfil their responsibilities. You need to have a reasonable comfort level with them.

Be selective, and with some searching, you will find the right match.

Create a workable home offiCe, even if you think you don’t have the spaCe

W

hether you’re new to working from home or have done it since the beginning of the pandemic, a home office has become a necessity for people just like you.

Your office could currently be in your spare bedroom or in a small corner of your apartment; it doesn’t matter if you have a designated area or you are working on the kitchen table, now is an ideal time to update your space.

At this year’s National Home Show: The Big One, you will find inspiration for your home office and other renovation and spacesaving needs.

“With the new normal of parents working from home, and online school for students, the home office needs an upgrade,” says Denise Hayward, show director for the National Home Show: The Big One. “You may think you don’t have the space for a home office – but think again!”

To help you get inspired, here are some tips to help you create a workable home office, even in the tightest of spaces.

The right location The ideal home office is one that is in a space where you won’t be distracted. Privacy is vital if you find yourself at home all day with your family. The right location is key, as is making sure your office has a door. Shutting out distractions and shutting in work 48 Renters Guide | July 29–Aug. 12, 2022

by Brody roBinson

allows you the needed disconnect between work and life. Each can be enjoyed, but make sure to keep them separate.

The right lighting When it comes to a home office, the right light is crucial. Natural light is the best – many famous authors try to situate themselves near a window to use natural light, encouraging creativity and increasing productivity.

With the pandemic keeping so many of us indoors, try to let in some natural light and take in the outdoors while you work.

Ergonomic-friendly furniture Whether it’s the kind of chair you buy, the height of your desk, or your computer setup, your home office should have ergonomic components. If a home office is becoming your new normal, don’t be afraid to splurge. Your back will thank you for it!

Crafty and convertible Make the most of a tight situation by using convertible furniture and decor. Your space can be esthetically pleasing and great for extra storage. Create an area that’s transformable enough to use for both work and everyday life, making it fit your needs. Get creative with desks that fold into walls, modular shelving or seats that function as storage boxes for a multi-purpose and multifunctional space.

Make it your own Your home office is still your office and should represent you.

Choose a colour scheme that matches your overall esthetic and you will look forward to sitting at your desk every day. Add those plants that bring some nature in or an animal print to spice up your space. This is your home office – make it your own with whatever makes you happy!

advice | Organized Living

FINd the RIGHT BOX For YOUR NEEdS hellen buttigieg Need help clearing clutter and creating a cleaner look? Use boxes. But be aware – not all boxes are created equal. Some are for storing, some for sorting, and some for showcasing. For storage, boxes should be strong and sturdy, and don’t forget to label them effectively. For sorting, make sure they’re big enough, but not too cumbersome to carry from room to room. For showcasing, make sure they’re stylish.

Create both impact and a sense of calm by choosing baskets or boxes in a similar style to use

throughout your home. Whether you like wicker or leather, brightly coloured or neutral, consider buying extras as you may not be able to find the same ones again later.

Anytime you have a vast open storage area (i.e. toy chest), think of creative ways to subdivide it to keep it organized. Break big areas into smaller ones by using containers of various sizes. You can reuse the packages that regular household items come in: tissue boxes, cheque boxes and baby-wipe containers. In addition, you can subdivide using drawer dividers, shelves and stacking trays.

If your collections are hidden away in a musty basement or forgotten in the corner of your closet, they’re clutter. Collections

Furniture and design trends to watch for

osy palettes, inspiration from past decades, and a bold expression in design that highlights an awakening we have all experienced as we slowly slip out of the pandemic — these are the drivers behind the trends to expect this fall.

While we move toward embracing comfort, sustainability continues to be a focus in the supply chain. We will need to be intentional about spaces that will impact how we live while emphasizing our well-being and productivity. As we say goodbye to all-white kitchens, fast furniture, minimalism, and open floorplans, we are excited about the optimism and revival these trends are offering in everything from colours and material to furniture and design.

Most importantly, as we move into the subsequent seasons and infuse our homes with personality, there will be a return to lasting style. Consumers are ready to purchase one-of-akind, beautifully well-made items for timeless design that will look great no matter what the decade.

An ode to nature, a return to decadence and

an embrace of what is being termed as “newstalgia” — this is what is coming for fall 2022

MODERN TAKE ON VINTAGE CLASSICS Inspiration taken from the decadent art deco movement, a refined 1960 to 1980’s retro vibe and a modern play on the grand millennial chic of the 1990s has resulted in layering these decades and artfully recreating and honing these eras to usher them into 2022.

With the return of the roll arm sofa, skirted furniture and plush channel tufting, the textures feel calm, mindful and warm. The prints evoke a feeling of nostalgia while celebrating the now, all the while honouring and satisfying our craving for serenity and wellbeing, elevating our need for newness and excitement.

From warm ochres, muted terracotta and sage to earthy browns and fanciful caramel, these tones will live in harmony and add warmth and richness, bringing the fall indoors to provide a reinvigorating, comfortable and exciting vibe for when we settle into the winter season.

EMBRACE THE EXCESS While we loved the minimalist japandi style with the peaceful calm vibes of the Scandinavian influence, maximalism is ushering its way into our design schemes and we are loving it all. It gives us a chance to indulge in personality, glamour and create breathtaking moments with oneof-a-kind pieces in the home.

Luxe wallpapers, detailed tile installations, sculptural detail and an array of playful shapes and architectural touches means this trend is about going big and bold.

This season’s furniture, decor, and design trends are all about embracing luxe. Think ultravelvets, coloured marble, honed-in sculptural pieces and the everevolving rattan and statementmaking light fixtures. We anticipate designers curating bespoke pieces and consumers paying tribute to their one-of-a-kind taste to honour the maximalist design style. Expect to see a refreshing spotlight on warm earthy neutrals in stone and clay materials, and minimally textured plasters that will reflect the craftsmanship and artistry we love.
