Ready, set, renovate! Welcome to the fall issue of the Home Décor & Renovations Magazine! It seems hard to believe yet another summer has gone by, however, for those looking to get back indoors to update, decorate and renovate their home, the thought of the upcoming fall season is a welcomed one! Our cover story features HGTV design celebs the Kitchen Cousins. Our editor in chief caught up with them while they were in Toronto promoting their new show, Cousins on Call. Inside, this dynamic duo shares design ideas and expert advice about kitchen renovations (including some important Do’s and Don’ts) that’s guaranteed to leave you inspired. This issue also marks the second installment of the series: Beautiful Stately Historic Homes. This time, we follow an Edmonton homeowner’s journey as her west end heritage home gets an addition. See page 22 for all the exciting details of the road to creating a masterpiece. Whether you’re planning a small project or a major home transformation, we have the information to help you every step of the way. Heed the advice of the professionals gracing our pages, and do it right the first time. Hiring a professional means you can renovate with confidence, and that your renovation dreams can be realized. Happy Renovating,
