hen you tell people you’re shopping for a place to rent, you’ll find almost everyone will want to share their own experience with you. Some will offer you their own personal advice and suggestions, while others will frighten you with details about a “friend’s” disastrous rental experience. With so many variables, it can be hard to figure out what’s necessarily good advice. It’s always best to get advice from the experts, especially when it comes to renting a big-ticket item like an apartment. No matter what Uncle Joe says, when you’re equipped with the right expert advice for your situation, you can move forward by making confident decisions that are right for you and your family. Much of what you’ll want to know about the road to finding the perfect place is right here in this magazine. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, write to us and we’ll help get you an answer from one of our experts. Take us along for the ride and let us know how it turns out. Thanks to our website, TheRentersGuide.ca, you now have even more articles and features than ever to source and help you find a great new space to call your own.

acancy rates are low right now. It’s a ‘landlord’s market.’ They hold all the cards because of supply in demand. Supply is low and demand is high. It may be daunting to apartment hunt in the environment, but there’s no need to live in the wrong space for fear of the hunt! You will find the perfect place – and it will help if you take the right steps and make yourself a good candidate for renting. I’ve seen people getting creative – everything from gifts and bribes to negotiating higher rent to secure the place they want. While these tactics may work with some landlords, the better choice is to look for a reputable landlord/property management company that plays by the books, and prepare yourself for meeting with them. First impressions mean a lot. When you meet, treat it like you would any business meeting – this is their business after all. Have all your paperwork in order. You know you’re going to need references, so go prepared with all of the names, phone numbers, addresses and email addresses of your current and previous landlords, your employer and three personal contacts that will vouch for you. As your current or past landlord/property manager for a letter of reference. They are the ones with the real experience about you as a tenant, their say-so can carry a lot of weight. Taking your last three or four pay stubs as proof of employment can often help. Take your cheque book, you’ll need to leave a deposit. Obtain your credit report – you can check that your credit history is in good standing and repair or correct anything that works against you. Take a copy of your credit report with you too – it’s part of the deciding factor. The more you take, the less legwork the landlord will have to do, making you an easy choice – both organized and proactive. A little bit of preparation will go a long way in making you the best candidate when there is stiff competition for a new apartment. And we’re here to help. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

DECORATING KIDS’ ROOMS IS CHILD’S PLAY WITH THESE FIVE TIPS Choice of colour can make or break a décor project, according to DULUX Paint SENDING YOUR KIDS TO THEIR ROOMS FOR A TIMEOUT may take on a whole new meaning after a paint renovation. If the walls sport the right colours, a child may just want to stay there. “Colours can have a tremendous effect on the mood and well-being of children, so it’s important to do your research before tackling a décor project for a kid’s room,” said Martin Tustin-Fuchs, brand manager of DULUX paint, a brand of PPG Architectural Coatings. Bright red, he said, is known to energize and stimulate, but may interfere with a restful sleep. Cooler shades like blue, according to Tustin-Fuchs, have a calming, serene effect. Pastel hues are also known to be soothing, he said, while bright, bold tones can promote a sense of playfulness.
Bold colours, such as Indigo Sea (90BG 14/337) blue by DULUX, painted on the accent wall of this bedroom, are a good choice for kids’ rooms as they can suit the tastes of a toddler through to a young adult.
Tustin-Fuchs said a number of colour trends are currently popular for kids’ rooms, including cheery citrus hues like lemon and lime that add fun pops of colour on focal walls or furniture; complementary colour combinations such as lavender mixed with soft green; and warm grey tones paired with creamy white or muted green, yellow, orange or purple. Classic black and white is also in vogue and can act as a clean backdrop for a room filled with bright accessories, painted furniture, and decorative bedding and window treatments.
TheRentersGuide.ca Popular 2014 kids’ rooms colours from DULUX paint include citrus tones Daisy Chain (45YY 79/376) yellow and Limelight (90YY 58/424) green; pastels Smooth Grape (30RB 53/117) violet, Winter Mauve (70RR 57/070) pink, and Indigo Sea (90BG 14/337) blue; Lilac Splendor (90BB 26/227) purple combined with Spring Willow (70YY 66/265) green; Whiter Shade (50YR 62/008) grey; and Noble Grey (30BB 10/019) black. TheRentersGuide.ca 30
“Trends can provide great decorating insight and ideas,” Tustin-Fuchs said. ”It’s important to recognize, though, that trends come and go, so plan for the long term and opt for colours that best suit your child’s personality.” He offers these five fail-proof tips for a child’s room makeover: Involve the kids. They’re going to spend a lot of time inTheRentersGuide.ca the space, so make sure your kids are consulted on the décor. When kids take ownership of a project, they value the outcome that much more.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Ask them what colours they want for their rooms, or have them choose their own bedding and work around that colour scheme. Browse magazines and online websites together to get a sense of your children’s taste and preferences. Once the job is done, reserve a space on the wall for your kids to “sign” their work with handprints. Plan for growth. Kids grow up pretty quickly, so ensure the colours you choose can mature with them. Bright pink may be your child’s favourite colour today, but for a longer-term investment, try settling on dusty rose, which can be adapted for a teen simply by changing the room’s accessories. Pastel hues from any colour family transition well as a child grows and tastes change. Similarly, bolder colours, like royal blue and violet, can suit the tastes of a toddler through to a young adult. See it their way. Get down on your knees and look at the space from your children’s perspective. Consider creating a more livable environment by painting a focal wall with a mural, like a jungle scene, to ensure the room is a desired place to hang out and play. Or, paint only part of the wall with a whimsical design. That one wall can easily be repainted later on. Affix stars or other fun designs to the ceiling and the kids will actually look forward to bedtime. Glue small toys or puzzle pieces on photo frames, mirrors, curtain rods and lamp tops to add extra appeal.
Create a more livable environment in your child’s room with whimsical designs, such as this image of a wardrobe painted on the wall using Poinsettia (05YR 15/555) red by DULUX paint.
Think “off the wall.” Consider livening up your child’s room by creating fun-looking walls. Faux finishing is one way to go, from simple methods like sponging to more complicated ragging and combing. Unique designs can easily be made using common household items like plastic bags, container lids, scrub brushes, combs or old clothing. Another option is colour blocking. Choose an accent wall and paint stripes, squares or other geometric shapes using two or three different colours.

Wash worries away: The walls of kids’ rooms go through ample wear and tear, so ensure the paint you use can take a beating.

Do your RESEARCH and CHOOSE your MOVER wisely BY CHUCK RESNICK
WHEN IT COMES TO MOVING, A LITTLE homework ahead of time can save a lot of headaches later on. Face it – your “stuff” is important to you, and you want movers who treat your furnishings and accessories that way. Some items such as toasters and even sofas can be replaced if they are damaged, but other things such as family photos and heirlooms are irreplaceable. At Two Men and a Truck, we adopted the tagline Movers Who Care to reflect how critical it is to treat every move with complete respect for our clients and every one of their possessions. When you shop for a mover, remember that the lowest bidder is not necessarily your smartest move. You want a company that has a track record for providing excellent service – with“service”being TheRentersGuide.ca the key word. Customer service includes much more than the actual packing and transporting of your items; it starts with the first contact. You should be able to expect a pleasant, professional TheRentersGuide.ca
36
representative to provide you with an estimate that is well thought out and fair. Service extends to promptness, cleanliness and thoroughness at both ends of the move. It also involves open lines of communication. Ask questions of the movers you are considering – and if they are reluctant to give you a straight answer, move on to others. One of the best ways to find a mover is through word of mouth. Ask your friends, neighbours and relatives which companies they used and how pleased they were. Another valuable resource is the Internet. Research moving firms and find out how long they have been in business. Find out if and how their workers are trained in the packing and transporting of goods. Ask what you can expect before, during and after the move. You can also check with the Canadian Association of Movers (movers.net), which has a web page for consumers. This trade association represents moving and storage companies and is aimed at helping customers connect with reliable, professional moving services. A
look through the member directory and posted articles on this website is one more tool that can help in your search. Moving can be one of the most exciting - and most stressful - times of your life. Hiring a mover who cares as much as you do about getting your possessions from point A to point B efficiently, economically and safely will reduce the stress and increase the fun. Your movers play an integral role in helping you adapt to your new surroundings. If you are planning a move in the future, think ahead and start your research now. The more comfortable and confident you feel in the mover you select, the smoother moving day will go. Customer service, walking the walk and talking the talk, is really what its all about!

TRAVEL INSURANCE Planning ahead means no pocket-ache later B Y GAI L VAZ -OX LADE
Planning to scoot south for a respite from this unstopable winter? Hopping across the country to see family and friends for a break? Taking a short drive to do some shopping south of the border? I’m willing to bet dogs-to-donuts that you haven’t bought travel insurance. TheRentersGuide.ca
TheRentersGuide.ca 40
You probably think you don’t need it. Don and Peg didn’t think so either. They knew their provincial health insurance would cover them if they got sick. Then Don tripped on the stairs and hauled Peg down with him. Don broke his hip and Peg her shoulder. They were all the way in Australia, had to cut their three-week dream vacation short. That left their daughters back home in Canada scrambling for money to help. If you have extra coverage on that fancy-pants premium credit card in your wallet, you might think you’re immune. And if you have a health plan at work, you might think you’re insured to the eyeteeth. Maybe not, evenTheRentersGuide.ca if you’re just going from one province to another. Check with your provincial plan to see what the restrictions or omissions are.
TheRentersGuide.ca
finances
You’ll have to call since most of the web sites are totally useless when it comes to describing what covered and what’s not. Check your directory’s blue pages for the Ministry of Health in your province. Your provincial plan is also going to be way off when it comes to medical costs south of the border. The average hospital room runs to $1,500 U.S. a day down south, and as high as $10,000 U.S. for intensive care.Yikes! An emergency surgical operation could cost $200,000 U.S. or more. Ohmygawd! And some hospitals won’t even let you in the door if you can slap proof of insurance or several thousand dollars down on the table. Buying insurance is more complex than you might think. Different plans offer different benefits and restrictions. One thing that can limit your coverage is a “pre-existing condition.” It could be a past medical condition that required consultation, prescription drugs, hospitalization or treatment. Or it could be an ongoing health condition. When “pre-ex conditions” are covered, there is usually a stability period. Most travel health policies will out-andout exclude any childbirth or pregnancy complications if you travel in your last trimester. Some won’t cover anything for which you were treated for up to six months before your trip – think ulcer, back problems, depression. Some plans won’t cover a medical condition for which you’re already being medicated. Make sure you shop around since you’ll find big differences in price and in the quality of coverage offered. There are a bunch of other types of insurance that go into a“travel insurance package.”Trip cancellation coverage protects you from losing the deposit if you have to cancel your trip because of a sickness or a death in the family, a natural disaster, jury duty, a cancelled conference – TheRentersGuide.ca the list goes on. Default insurance protects your money when a tour operator or other service supplier goes out of business. It’s
TheRentersGuide.ca
usually sold as part of a trip cancellation policy, but not always, so make sure you specify that you want it. Lost Baggage Insurance will pay when your checked-in baggage is delayed or lost while traveling on a common carrier or from a hotel. And Rental Vehicle Damage Insurance will cover damage or loss of a rented vehicle.
Seven Questions to Ask Before You Buy Does the plan have a “deductible” which you must pay for each claim?
Your personal property insurance may cover lost or stolen luggage.Your car insurance may provide collision and liability coverage for rented automobiles. Some credit cards offer baggage insurance. If you have a premium credit card that gives extra medical coverage automatically, make sure you read the fine print to verify what you’re covered for and under what conditions.Your employer’s health insurance coverage may extend to worldwide coverage. Again, read the fine print since a group plan may have dollar limitations that won’t cover you properly.
Can you choose the doctor and hospital or does the insurance company choose?
While most holidays go smoothly, it makes sense to protect yourself just in case. Think about what a bummer it would be if you lost your luggage. Imagine the distress if you became ill in another country. And suppose your tour operator or airline went bust? Yes, travel insurance can be expensive, but the alternative is worse. Be a smart traveler and invest some time in making sure you’re covered. Then go! Enjoy your holiday.
What is the amount of the policy coverage limit ($1 million? $2 million? Unlimited?) Is the insurance paid out in U.S. or Canadian dollars?
What pre-existing conditions are permitted and how long have they had to be stable? Does the insurance company submit the claim directly to the provincial health insurance plan or is that the insured’s responsibility? What is not covered in the plan? These are called “exclusions.” Are there specific exclusions that pertain to sports or other activities?

This City- and partner-produced initiative will provide new insight about where culture thrives in Toronto by drawing attention to the diverse people and places in neighbourhoods around Lawrence Avenue south to the lake and Victoria Park Avenue east to Highland Creek. “Scarborough has many lively, local cultural hotspots,” said Councillor Michael Thompson (Ward 37 Scarborough Centre), Chair of the Economic Development Committee. “This project will introduce these venues to a wider audience and show people just how diverse and dynamic our community really is.” As the Cultural Hotspot project heats up, this vibrant area will be animated with visual art, performances, events, walks, talks and activities.

PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE CRBP focuses on the human perspective
BY TED WHITEHEAD
THE CERTIFIED RENTAL BUILDING PROGRAM (CRBP) RELATES TO RENTAL APARTMENT BUILDINGS, but was established on the foundation of providing rental housing consumers with the confidence that comes with quality assurance. In other words, the CRBP is as much about people, as it is about the physical bricks and mortar of the apartment buildings that are part of it. A rental home is still a home, and just as with ownership, the surroundings should nurture an acceptable quality of life for tenants. That is why the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) created this program – to offer a recognized symbol of quality and a proactive approach for those seeking rental accommodations and help them zero in on a well-run, well-managed building more easily. When a property manager, and/or owner register a building with the CRBP, it is a pledge that all involved with the buildings’ operations will uphold standards that protect the safety and comfort of all tenants. The program’s people-focus component is strongly reflected in the mandatory training course which property managers and their building staff attend. Those enrolled learn how to meet the requirements of the program’s Standards of Practice, and how following them improves daily building operation and the quality of service they provide to tenants.
upgrade their professional skills and competencies. Increasing the level of professionalism of a CRBP-approved building’s management, and their employees, goes hand-in-hand to ensure that the quality assurance promise the program makes with consumers can be successfully met. Certified owners and/or property managers also agree to conduct business according to a Member Code of Conduct. This brings great peace-of-mind to renters and offers a clear, concise reminder of what is expected of them once their buildings have been granted certification status. For renters, this means improved communication with the building manager and/or owner, as well as a higher quality of life. The key word in the Code of Conduct is “professionalism.” It is interesting that the Code of Conduct is based on the golden rule – again, focused on people. Everything about the CRBP involves respect for the buildings and for those who live and work in them. Any time a tenant or prospective tenant sees the Certified Rental Building logo at a multi-residential apartment building in Ontario, they know they can count on it for quality assurance and peace of mind once they have selected their apartment home. Fairness, conscientiousness, honesty, integrity, respect – these are the concepts that form the basis for the CRBP Code of Conduct. Because when it comes right down to it, a “home,” whether owned or rented, is defined by the people who live in it. Visit www.crbprogram.org for more information.
The program’s Standards of Practice also reflect a peoplefirst focus. In fact, the program ensures that each successfully certified building practices over 36 established building operations, resident management services, financial management, and human resource management standards. The latter category includes ensuring the building’s staff are provided with training and education opportunities to continually

TIDY UP! by HELLEN BUTTIGIEG
HOW TO KEEP THE HOME TIDY - IN JUST A FEW minutes a day. There are two tricks you can use to keep your home neat with little effort: Scan and Grab: Any time you leave one room, scan it quickly to see if there’s anything that belongs in the room that you are going to (or along the way). Keep a basket at the bottom of the stairs and any time you come across something that belongs on the second floor, toss it in. At the end of the day, grab the basket on your way up. Deposit the items in the rooms where they belong right away (or first thing in the morning if you’re too tired). Be sure to take the basket back downstairs on your way down the next day. The key is to get into the habit of doing this daily so the basket doesn’t get too full, otherwise it becomes too time consuming to put everything away. DO IT NOW AND SAVE TIME Delaying tasks actually creates more work and wastes time. Fold or hang TheRentersGuide.ca your clothes immediately after the dryer cycle is complete and you will spend less (or no) time ironing. Load the dishwasher (or wash the dishes) as soon as you’re done eating and you’ll spend less time rinsing, scraping and scrubbing. TheRentersGuide.ca
62
SMART STORAGE You’ve probably heard the term ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’. This is so true, but it’s only part of the solution. The second half of this wisdom is to keep things in a logical position. For example, keep keys by the exit door, coffee and filters in the cupboard above the coffee maker, and magazines in a basket beside the chair where you do most of your reading. Not only will this make it easier to find what you need quickly, it will also cut down on steps and save you time. Next time you are trying to find a home for something, instead of asking ‘where should I put it’, ask ‘where would I use it’.

BRINGING TOGETHER
‘His’ & ‘Her’ Style BY YANIC SIMARD
74
THE REALITY IS THAT ONCE YOU MOVE IN
together you have to share a space, and your space ultimately reflects your style. You have to take what you both have already and determine what to keep, what will work and what won’t. Whether it be her childhood teddy bear, or that ugly thing he calls a “sofa,” the issue that arises is how to blend her past along with his, and still have an extremely welldecorated and tasteful place to go home to.
DO WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT? WHAT IS THAT? WHAT DO WE NEED TO BUY? THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WILL COME UP ALONG THE WAY Do we have to keep that? What is that? What do we need to buy? These are just some of the questions that will come up along the way. You both need to be on board, and working toward a design goal that will make both of you happy at the end of the day. Hopefully you share at least some of the same taste! Opposites attract, so pairing your pieces together can work. Mix heavier and lighter pieces together, and mix opaque with transparent. When you start mixing and matching your styles you will be surprised at how harmonious it can look. Just make sure that you listen to each other – you need to understand each other’s needs and wants. It’s a good idea to spend a weekend and analyze what you both have to determine where you stand in terms furnishings for your home. Will you be having children down the road? Children will determine a lot of things, such as what you really need to invest in. Do you really need that 52-inch plasma television, or should you spend on something else? Make a wish list that is prioritized, starting with what you really need and where your TheRentersGuide.ca money needs to go first. Find common ground and choose on an overall design style and concept.
TheRentersGuide.ca
If you have a piece of furniture that you just can’t let go of, changing the look of it is the best way to hold onto it. Consider re-upholstering or painting it to match your new, blended décor. Complement your existing furniture with newer pieces that link both styles. You can take his dining room chairs, match it with her dining room table and purchase a new light fixture that will join the two styles. By combining your pieces, you can create some of the most visually interesting and appealing rooms. Merging your styles together will not happen over night. Eventually the two styles will come together, creating what will hopefully be a balanced and harmonious space. Combining the styles will take thought, and whether it be including her teddy bear, or that ugly sofa of his, it just needs to be executed in the right way, creating an extremely well-decorated and tasteful place to go home to.

AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO
creating a stylish and functional nursery Moms seem instinctively to know the importance of creating a special nursery space where they can bond, interact and love every moment with their baby. In fact, a survey from PlaytexBaby found that an overwhelming majority of moms (87 percent) agree that it’s essential to put time into making the nursery a great space for their little one.
TheRentersGuide.ca 88

quick tips
Yet often times, creating a nursery can be daunting, as moms strive to ensure this space provides functionality, while also conveying a certain style. To help simplify the process, celebrity nursery designer and founder of Bratt Decor, Mary Bauer, provides expert tips to help moms get started. “Moms are spending so much time in the nursery each day, so they want to create a room that is fun and stylish, but also one that’s functional - and you can have both,” says Bauer. “By following a few simple tips when creating a nursery, moms can ensure that their journey is easy and enjoyable, and that they end up with the ideal nursery space for herself and her baby.”
Bauer’s tips include: Make the most of your room size: If you have a small space, avoid using small-scale furniture. Instead, use a few normal-sized pieces, and choose TheRentersGuide.ca furniture that can do double duty - like a changer that’s a dresser, or an ottoman with a storage compartment.
TheRentersGuide.ca
Using soft, cool tones will also make your room feel larger. Create a convenient changing space: Ensure that your changing table is well-stocked with baby wipes, diapers and an extra set of clothes right at your finger tips, so you never have a reason to leave your baby unattended. Position your diaper pail right next to the changing table and choose a pail that makes the whole process as easy as possible. The Diaper Genie II Elite Pail offers a convenient foot pedal, allowing you to hold your child and dispose of a diaper at the same time. Make it personal: Adding personality to your decor doesn’t have to be super expensive - create your own personal touches in your nursery to make it meaningful to you. Include vintage photographs, your baby’s silver cup, framed family heirloom christening gowns, or anything else that means a lot. This gives heritage to a brand new space, and makes it all your own.
Secure your sleep haven: Whatever your budget is, don’t scrimp on the crib - it’s the place where your baby spends the most time without you and should be a safe and comfortable space. Check out the crib buying guide, safety reports and recalls through the Health Canada website – www.hc-sc.gc.ca – before making your purchase. Many models have been recalled in the last few years, and most drop-side models have been both recalled and taken off the market. It’s best to buy new, but if you’re being given a crib make sure to check that it meets today’s safety standards and hasn’t been recalled. Create a timeless feel: No one wants to redo their rooms every year with the changing trends. Keep furnishings which are the big ticket items - timeless in design, and add trends with more affordable accent items like bedding and paint. For more tips and information, visit PlaytexBaby.com.

safety
CARBON MONOXIDE LEAKS
ARE DEADLY and odourless Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that a huge percentage of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm. “Over the past four years I have spoken to dozens of groups and hundreds of people and the comments are almost always the same,� Gignac says. People tell me they don’t need a carbon monoxide alarm because they have electric heat. But when I ask them if they have a gas appliance or water heater, or a wood-burning or gas fireplace, or a garage or carport attached to their house, they all get a horrified look on their face. Because any one of those can be a source of CO and their families have been at risk for years.�
That extra nip in the fall air provides an early warning that increased vigilance is required to protect your family from carbon monoxide, known as the “silent killer�. For one Ontario man, it is an especially stark reminder. In late 2008 John Gignac, a retired firefighter, lost his niece, her husband and their two children to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. A blocked chimney vent forced the deadly gas from their gas fireplace back into their home. Since then, Gignac has established the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for CO Education and spends his retirement imploring others to protect themselves from CO with one simple step: installing a CSAapproved carbon monoxide alarm. TheRentersGuide.ca “My niece Laurie Hawkins and her family had no chance because they did not have a CO alarm,� Gignac says. “If they did, they would still be with us today.�
TheRentersGuide.ca
108
In addition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the flu, without the fever. It is routinely responsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death. Gignac offers these five CO safety steps: t )BWF B MJDFOTFE JOTQFDUPS DIFDL IFBUJOH TZTUFNT BOE PUIFS GVFM burning appliances, including fireplaces, every year. t *OTUBMM POF $4" BQQSPWFE $0 BMBSN PO FBDI TUPSFZ PG ZPVS IPNF and outside all sleeping areas. t $IFDL PVUTJEF UP NBLF TVSF BMM FYIBVTU nVFT BOE WFOUT BSF OPU obstructed. t 3FQMBDF $0 BMBSNT FWFSZ TFWFO UP ZFBST EFQFOEJOH PO UIF manufacturer, whether battery operated or hardwired. t $IBOHF CBUUFSJFT BU MFBTU PODF B ZFBS “Most CO alarms cost in the range of $30, just about two cents a day over their lifespan, a nominal price to pay for the safety of yourself and your family,� Gignac adds.

Cook up a whole new look
FOR YOUR KITCHEN WE SPEND HOURS IN THE KITCHEN SOCIALIZING, KEEPING THE FAMILY ORGANIZED, AND, of course, cooking and eating. As the centre of the home’s activities, the kitchen should be as fun as it is functional. With just a few supplies and a free weekend, you can cook up a whole new look for your kitchen.
Warm up the walls Changing the colour and texture of walls is an easy way to add some spice to any kitchen. Paint the walls a deep red or blue for a dramatic look, or make your space feel light and airy with a coat of sunny yellow or subtle taupe. Feel free to experiment with decorative painting techniques, such as stripes, geometric patterns or textured finishes. After you’ve freshened up the colour and texture of your walls, express your personal style through a few new accessories. An antique clock, a picture collage or shelves with colourful canisters are decorative, as well as functional.
Change up the cabinets Liven up basic cupboards by switching the hardware – it’s a simple way to give your existing cabinets a whole new look. Use crystal knobs for a vintage touch, or add stainless steel handles for an ultra-modern, sleek appearance. And, don’t forget about the functional aspect of your cupboards - install shelf liner to ensure cabinets stay clean and well-maintained. Shelf liner protects cabinet shelves and drawers from wear and tear, prevents scratches and keeps spills or drips from damp dishes from TheRentersGuide.ca causing damage to surfaces. “I recommend using shelf liner in any kitchen renovation project,” says Danny Lipford, home improvement expert and TheRentersGuide.ca TV host from the series Today’s
114
Homeowner with Danny Lipford. “It’s simple for any homeowner to install and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or thrown in the washing machine. My favourite is Easy Liner from Duck brand - it offers an array of non-adhesive and adhesive shelf liners that are stylish and practical for use in any kitchen.” The most popular variety, Smooth Top Easy Liner has a smooth surface that catches messes and spills as they happen, making clean-up a breeze, while the non-slip, gripped underside keeps the liner firmly in place.
Transform your table Create a delightful dining space with a few changes to your kitchen table. Use a staple gun and a bright fabric to recover your chairs, making items you already own look like new additions to your home. You can even create a new tablecloth using the leftover fabric. Then, design your very own placemats using Smooth Top Easy Liner for a decorative touch that’s easy to wipe clean as well as replace.
space above cabinets. Then, look low and consider the floor. Placing a colourful area rug beneath the table can bring additional interest and colour to the kitchen, while also protecting the floor against scratches. Window treatments are another effective, eye-catching way to make any kitchen pop, whether you’re adding new valances, cornices or even long panels. When choosing fabrics, make a statement with bright colours, or choose an unexpected, bold pattern for a contemporary approach. Sophisticated stripes, pretty plaids or fun florals are also a nice choice for kitchens. Follow these tips to make your kitchen as chic as your dinner is delicious - you’ll create a flavorful design that will look good enough to eat. ARA
Make sure to add a chic centrepiece – a vase of fresh flowers, a glass bowl filled with fruit or a collection of candlesticks – to transform your existing tabletop and create a focal point for guests as they enter the room.
Brighten the basics Adding colour from floor to ceiling is a great way to improve the overall feel of your kitchen. To start, try adding accessories to areas of your kitchen that feel blase. Bring in colour at the highest points of the kitchen by adding faux plants or interesting knickknacks to the

ACCESSORIES ARE TO A ROOM AS JEWELRY IS TO
an outfit - it completes the look and pulls it all together. To me, the best part of the design is all in the details. Accessories can be anything that complement a design and add to the aesthetic value. When you think of accessories, imagine the impact of wall art, throw pillows, antiques, sculptures, vases, collectibles or even memorabilia. It can be something very personal or on the contrary, a piece which varies seasonally. I like to pull the accessories together last – or at least once all major pieces have been selected. This offers the freedom to contrive a more organic design, almost allowing the accessories to find you. Once the major pieces have been chosen, you have a better sense of how the room feels and ultimately what is missing from within the mix. I like to plan the mood of a space right from the get-go so when it comes down to the details, it’s simple to reinforce the initial design concepts.
WHEN YOU THINK OF ACCESSORIES, IMAGINE THE IMPACT OF WALL ART, THROW PILLOWS, ANTIQUES, SCULPTURES, VASES, COLLECTIBLES OR EVEN MEMORABILIA. Accessories can be a very personal thing so there is no right or wrong answer, however there are a few “rules” I like to follow. For instance, grouping items together – odd numbers work best, and combining multiple items allows TheRentersGuide.ca you to create volume and add visual weight to your space. Choose objects with a common design element to create repetition, which is key to consistency. Allow the eye to see a balanced flow from one side of the room to the other. Tension is one of my favourite elements of design when it TheRentersGuide.ca 124
TheRentersGuide.ca

MY TOP ACCESSORY SHOPS Teatro Verde Decorum Dana Jordan (BAYVIEW VILLAGE) Union Lighting & Furnishings HomeSense
comes to accessorizing. If you have a minimalistic space and your taste is modern, try to suggest tension between one standout accessory and the rest of your décor. Juxtaposing an ornate mirror or vase – or even a lamp – to produce tension in your space will provide high contrast and generate a memorable design aesthetic. The key to apt execution is placement and proportion. Like everything else in design, plan ahead pull all your fabric swatches and floor plans together and bring them shopping with you. Having your floor plans or drawing will ensure you’re purchasing pieces that will actually fit into your space. However, it is the smallest details that will make the biggest impact. Show off your individuality by purchasing pieces that represent you and your lifestyle. I love unique pieces – whether it be the form of a vintage tray table or an abstract vase, anything to evoke conversation. Typically, it is these pieces, the smallest items in your space, which will make your room truly unique. I have some fantastic vintage and consignment shops I like to visit – where you’re bound to find distinctive objects no one else carries. One of my favourite shopping destinations offers a bit of everything. TheRentersGuide.ca You can shop for anything from vintage glam at Decorum to contemporary eye candy. Purchase pieces you love and the best ones you can afford this way they will always work for you and your home.

LESLIE STYLES, FOODIE & TRAVEL AFICIONADO, SHARES SOME DELICIOUS DISHES FOUND ON HER TRAVELS AROUND THE WORLD
SPINACH AND RICOTTA MANICOTTI
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta shells according to package instructions. Drain well and arrange in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet.
My Aunt used to make her famous homemade Manicotti when I was quite young. Always eagerly anticipated and quickly devoured, her baked Manicotti was always a special treat. Inspired by childhood memories, I decided to make my own version using a rich cheesy spinach filling, topped with homemade tomato sauce, and a generous handful of shaved pecorino and mozzarella cheese. Manicotti means ‘sleeve’ in Italian, and is one of the oldest shapes of Italian pasta. Known for its hearty consistency, the pasta’s unique tubular shape makes it perfect for sumptuous fillings and robust, highly flavorful sauces. This easy and delicious recipe for Spinach and Ricotta Manicotti, is baked for just half an hour until it’s cooked through to bubbling golden perfection. A wonderfully heartwarming and flavourful dish, this recipe for Spinach and Ricotta Manicotti is delicious served with some fragrant garlic bread and lovely crisp salad. Buon appetito!
INGREDIENTS Serves four ›TheRentersGuide.ca 8 manicotti shells
› 1/8 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
› 15-oz. container light ricotta cheese
› 1 large egg, beaten
› 8-oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained of excess moisture
› 2 cups Marinara sauce (homemade or storebought)
› 1/2 tsp salt
› 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
› 1/4 tsp black pepper
› 1 cup grated mozzarella
TheRentersGuide.ca
140
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup Parmesan, the beaten egg and spinach. Season filling with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Transfer filling to a large zip-top plastic bag, or piping bag with a circular nozzle. Twist and squeeze the bag so that the filling is in one corner. If using the plastic bag technique, snip a 3/4-inch opening in the corner of the plastic bag. Pipe filling into both ends of each pasta shell. In a shallow oven-proof baking dish, spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce to just cover the base. Arrange the stuffed shells over the sauce, side by side. Cover the shells with another layer of Marinara sauce, just covering them. Top the assembled manicotti with the remaining Parmesan and all of the Mozzarella. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let sit five minutes before serving and garnish with a basil or whole chives. Serve with some homemade garlic bread and a crisp green salad.
