EDITORS’ NOTES
y
ou’ve decided now is the time to rent a new space. Now you have another decision to make – choosing your property management company. How can you check the reputation of the company or landlord you’re considering renting from? First, find out how long the company has been in business by asking the staff or visiting the company’s website. Most property management companies have well-established business practices in place to ensure that the customer comes first. If possible, drive around existing communities managed by the company you’re considering and speak to some of the renters in the building. Many property management companies will be able to put you in touch with people who would be happy to provide a testimonial. Get a feel for each company and the staff. You should be comfortable and courteous asking questions and in turn you should expect to be treated with consideration and respect. Think twice about any property management company that doesn’t willingly provide any information you respectfully request. Putting the customer first and offering the best quality rental space for your money is a property management company’s ultimate goal. Once you find the perfect space, don’t hesitate in going for it and making it your own! Let us know how your search for a new home goes. We’d love to hear from you.

o
ne thing I always enjoy about apartment hunting is seeing how others live. When you go to showings, these aren’t the homes of friends. They may or may not have similar taste or similar demands on space that you will. Some apartments show better because their current resident has a real flair for decorating, other places may be underwhelming because of the lack of style, character or personal touch. Stay focussed. You’re not renting someone else’s lifestyle. Don’t be wooed by an apartment because you love the current tenant’s stuff – they’ll be taking all of it with them. Take a good look at the bones, the room dimensions and the architectural features. Survey things like closet space, cleanliness and flooring. If there are fantastic decorating ideas that improve the use of the space, note them. You may want to utilize the ideas, but keep in mind you will be creating your own home. Make sure the apartment meets your needs. You’re going to find the perfect apartment, but it may take some searching. We’re here to help! With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Wynn Group West Lodge – location, location, location
T
he stretch of Queens West from Dufferin Street to Roncesvalles has become quite popular. The Parkdale community extends from the lake to Dundas Street. Queen Street is the hotspot, where nightlife and epicurean cuisine are intermingled with independent shops, various ethnic restaurants and destinations for the fashionista. The area has an edgy sense of cool. A younger urban crowd has discovered the community while the older, longterm tenants, young families and more call the area home. There are massive Victorian mansions and lovely old homes lining the side streets, while highrises reflect the best of 60’s and 70’s landmark architecture. Right in the heart of this gentrifying community is The Wynn Group’s community of West Lodge. Just renovated, the new glass balconies really make this building stand out! The community, located at 103 and 105 West Lodge Ave., provides an ideal urban location. The TheRentersGuide.ca Gardiner Expressway is just to the south, making it easy to get across the city while 24-hour bus service provides real convenience to commuters. This Parkdale location makes it easy to enjoy Toronto’s waterfront, whether for a walk along the boardwalk or a swim in the pool at Sunnyside TheRentersGuide.ca 8G
Pavilion. Cyclists and rollerbladers will enjoy accessing this stretch of The Martin Goodman Trail, while summer fun at the Canadian National Exhibition grounds includes soccer games at BMO Field. The area has all of the necessities, plus some great specialty shops. There are several schools and community centres accessible. The library is close by and there are parks and playgrounds throughout the community. The area truly caters to all residents, from families and students to young professionals. The West Lodge community itself offers newly landscaped grounds with a children’s playground onsite. Several amenities, including basketball tennis and racquetball courts are great lifestyle options to the community. Professional security is onsite, providing an added element of peace-ofmind, while onsite property management are available to assist residents with their needs. Inside, extensive renovations have been completed. While common areas like hallways have fresh carpeting and paint, the lobby renovation has been completed, adding a modern touch to this architectural gem. Bachelors, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites are available and have also been given a great deal of attention with new appliances and extensive updating. Rooms are spacious with generous closets. Suites have standard features such as parquet hardwood flooring and balconies and patios, offering some spectacular views of the city and lake.

Parkdale
Going to the west side By Jane Herman
T
he neighbourhood known as Parkdale extends west from Dufferin to Ronscesvalles and from the lakeshore north to about Dundas. Beginning in the late 1800’s, Parkdale was an elite residential suburb that rivaled Rosedale as Toronto’s most desirable address. Wander through the tree lined residential streets and you’ll see some exceptionally fine examples of Victorian architecture. In 1922 Sunnyside Amusement Park and Bathing Pavilion opened on the western beaches, becoming the place to be and to be seen TheRentersGuide.ca for a generation of Torontonians. In 1956 Sunnyside was shut down by the city to make way for the Gardiner Expressway and the revamped Lake Shore Boulevard, cutting Parkdale off TheRentersGuide.ca from the Lake Shore and its glorious past. 16G
The King and Queen Street streetcars offer quick and easy access to the subway and to downtown. With Lake Shore Boulevard and the Gardiner at this neighbourhood’s doorstep, Parkdale is also conveniently situated to points both east and west. The neighbourhood immediately east of Dufferin at King, known as Liberty Village, is a hip district of warehouses that have been transformed into offices and shops. Much new development, including restaurants, nightlife, banks, grocery TheRentersGuide.ca and extensive services has turned this enclave into a true village within the city. This enclave attracts young

Having Fun Parkdale is within walking distance of the CNE, Toronto’s waterfront and the Martin Goodman Trail. There is a beautiful children’s playground right inside the Dufferin Gate. In December, the buildings on Jameson Avenue are strung with spectacular holiday lighting for the annual Cavalcade of Lights. The area has developed quite a great nightlife as it’s gentrified, with several lounges, music venues and trendy destinations have set up shop. Parkdale also has four community centres that serve the residents of this neighbourhood. The Parkdale Public Library on Queen Street and the High Park Public Library on Roncesvalles, both provide programming for Parkdale residents. Shopping The dynamism of Queen Street TheRentersGuide.ca continues to move ever westward, imposing a new vibrancy on everything in its path. In Parkdale chic funky
shops co-exist with neighbourhood standbys.

Many Parkdale residents find the Dufferin Mall at Dufferin and Bloor a great convenience. It offers larger stores and chains, as well as the usual array of restaurants and services that a mall affords. And there’s the Dufferin Grove Farmer’s Market in Dufferin Grove Park, right across the street all year round.
A little further away:
Living in the Area Parkdale offers a wide variety of rental options, including low-rise, highrise and the converted duplexes and triplexes in the grand old Victorian homes. The highrise buildings are clustered around Dufferin and King/ Queen, as well as on the streets that run parallel to Dufferin: Jameson, and Tyndall, for example, have a number of apartments from which to choose.

for a stress-free spring and a happier summer move B Y DA N H O P K I N S
S
pring is the season of new beginnings. But it can be hard to appreciate if you’re stuck indoors trying to sift through the accumulation of winter clutter.
Fortunately there are some easy techniques to help you get a jump-start on decluttering. The following steps will help get your home organized and allow you to enjoy the new season, clutter-free, especially if planning a summer move. We recommend the following tips: Start by sorting and organizing closets. If there is limited closet space, consider storing winter clothing in the attic, basement or garage. Wardrobe boxes offer excellent space for hanging coats, sweaters and snow pants.
Care for hazardous materials. Be conscientious about the materials being disposed. Toxic items such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides, and fertilizers are dangerous to transport and should not be thrown away with nontoxic garbage. These items should be taken to specialized depots. Concentrate on disinfecting spaces. Change air filters, rotate mattresses and vacuum under furniture.
Sort out items no longer used or worn. If it hasn’t been worn in more than a year, then it probably won’t be again. Set aside a couple of empty boxes for donations or items to sell. Use sturdy boxes with dividers for packing breakables. Make sure TheRentersGuide.ca cardboard boxes are structurally sound. Dish-pack boxes with adjustable inserts that form individual cells are a great option for fragile items. Think Green. Survey local recycling options to fi nd the most convenient solution for recyclables. Organize recyclables by category: plastic, glass, TheRentersGuide.ca aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc.

Thankfully, no one was injured in an apartment fire that was caused by a faulty power surge protector bar in a highrise building a few years ago. Because of the design of the building, the fire was contained to the apartment where it started and did not spread. “The staff was fantastic and everyone in the building evacuated quickly,” said Property Manager Barb Petelski. But the tenant in whose apartment it broke out, lost everything – all of her furniture, clothing, and other possessions. Not only that, due to the extensive smoke and the water used to extinguish the fire, both the apartment immediately above and the apartment below were left completely uninhabitable. And for the residents and victims, it was a terrible tragedy that might have been averted had the tenant been insured. As a result of the fire, three families were displaced for up to five months and a fourth family was significantly inconvenienced while extensive repairs were made. Had the tenant been insured, the landlord would not have had to pay for the damages. Instead, those funds that could have been used for needed repairs, maintenance or capital improvements to the building. “Ironically,”said Petelski,“the tenants above the damaged apartment had insurance, and were immediately moved into a vacant apartment in the building. Their insurance company sent in a team of cleaners who thoroughly cleaned everything – their furniture, towels, and bedding – and moved everything into their new apartment.”The tenants didn’t have to do anything, or pay for any of this. Most people are unaware that their landlord’s insurance does not cover loss or damage to the personal property of tenants, no matter how the damage occurs, including in a fire. Landlords have relatively few legal obligations to compensate tenants for damage TheRentersGuide.ca to, including loss of their personal possessions. Likewise, if you are forced to vacate your apartment due to a fire
or other circumstances, the landlord is not required to compensate you for alternative accommodation while repairs are being made. It’s unfortunate that people’s circumstances are often so tight that they try to avoid paying the cost of the premiums. In reality, tenant insurance is much less expensive than you might imagine. A $35,000 contents and $1,000,000 liability policy for a highrise building should cost approximately $240 per year (premiums vary based on home type and coverage value). Many leases require that tenants carry both liability as well as contents insurance. You can find further information about tenant insurance or purchase coverage from a variety of sources. You will need both contents coverage as well as liability insurance. You might want to start with the agent who handles your car or life insurance and ask him or her to provide you with a price. Many insurance companies are happy to set up a tenants package for a customer – most provide multi-policy discounts if you have property and auto coverage together. If you have been living at home and this is your first apartment, you could approach your
parents’ insurance broker. You can try calling one of the major insurance companies directly and speak to an agent. Call centres or website companies that sell insurance directly are called “direct writers,” and are another potential source of information. You can also see if your school/alma mater, company, bank or any other associations for which you are a member offer a group rate. The group buy is often used to leverage members preferred rates. Unfortunately, many tenants take the policy in order to satisfy the landlord and cancel afterwards. Don’t make this mistake. While it’s unlikely that you’ll ever need, it the peace of mind it provides is well worth the small price you’ll pay. Given this reality, isn’t it best to protect yourself and your family from what could be a significant expense and catastrophe?

Searching for a
HOME
BY WAYNE KARL
Mass transit, highway construction and other infrastructure are key considerations when planning a move.
Key points to consider
EVER NOTICE RENTAL COMMUNITIES BOAST THEY ARE “just minutes from shopping, schools and all the amenities!” and that “Everything you need is right at your doorstep!”? This is not just marketing gimmickry at work. These factors really matter, as such attractions are critical in determining appeal to renters – for lifestyle and comfort while living there. However, one of those factors carries a little more weight than the others: proximity to infrastructure. The federal and provincial governments have been spending billions on infrastructure improvements over the last few years to upgrade highways, transit systems, airports and other services such as health care. For rental developments, this means more and better access. It’s no exaggeration to say the infrastructure developments have allowed new communities to literally sprout up along the way. Numerous studies throughout North America and elsewhere show that proximity to mass transit and highways has the most significant impact on property values, since it improves residents’ accessibility to a city’s central business district and other areas with employment opportunities. The greatest benefit, according to Cutting Edge Research Inc., a Vancouverbased real estate consultancy that examines housing trends across the country, is for properties located within 500 metres of stations along new transit lines. “Distance is now measured in minutes, not kilometres,” says Don Campbell, president of Cutting Edge, summarizing a principle that renters anywhere in Canada can follow: as people increasingly factor commuting times into their renting decisions, proximity to transportation is a top determining factor for convenience. This is especially true, given that a new travel-time study conducted for the Toronto, York, Durham and Peel regions indicates highway commuting in these areas is taking noticeably longer than even two years ago. Prospective renters, then, while you’re out there shopping for your new home, take a look around and see how close you are to the nearest highway, subway or light rail transit. Then follow the tracks to those housing projects and communities and your new home.
»
» »
» »
Do you want to live in a city, a town or in the country? Where do you work, and how easy will it be to get there and at what are the commuting costs? If you have or plan to have children, where will they go to school and how will they will get there? Do you want safe walking areas, recreational facilities or other amenities such as shopping nearby? How close do you want to be to family and friends?

Leslie Styles, foodie & travel aficionado, shares some delicious dishes found on her travels around the world.
Hugh’s Pear and Almond Cake Directions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a springform cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. Peel, core and quarter the pears. Melt the butter in a frying pan large enough to take all the pear pieces, over a medium high heat. When it’s bubbling, add the sugar and stir gently until it has dissolved into the butter. Add the pears and cook gently, turning once or twice, until they have softened and are starting to get a lovely golden colour, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Now for the cakey bit. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour with each to stop the mix curdling. Combine the remaining flour, the ground almonds and the cinnamon, and fold into the mixture. Scrape into the prepared tin. Arrange the pears on top and pour on any buttery juices left in the pan.
t
here is something very warm and inviting about the sweet buttery aroma of a home-made cakey confection as it comes out from the oven. It’s a seductive smell that is pretty hard to resist, so why bother? As Oscar Wilde said, “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it!” And so I did, and made this delicious pear and almond cake for guests this past weekend, inspired by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s recipe from his River Cottage Everyday Cookbook. The pears are gently sautéed in butter and sugar then added to a eggy batter of ground almonds and wholemeal flour, poured into a buttered springform tin, then baked for about 40 minutes. The combination of pears and almonds bring a luscious texture to this moist and sticky, but not too sweet, pear-fect pud!
Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Stand the cake in its tin on a wire rack to cool for a few minutes, then release the tin. Serve the cake warm with clotted or whipped cream – or cold. This recipe is cakewalk. Lovely sticky and exciting. Pear-fect!
ingredients Serves 8 › 10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
For the caramelised pears:
› ½ cup caster sugar
› 3 bosc pears, reasonably firm, but not rock hard
› 2 medium eggs
› 2 tbsp unsalted butter
› 5 tbsp wholemeal self raising flour (or all purpose with 1 tsp baking powder plus a pinch of salt)
› 1 tbsp granulated sugar

rom groceries to the hydro bill, every family needs to watch their pennies.
“A family needs a budget that everyone can follow,” said Dennis Tew, father of three and chief financial officer of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.“Ensure you track expenses and plan for costs. This will help you save more and spend less.” Here are a few ways to get your family budget on track: Recurring expenses. Track your monthly spending on your home, food, transportation, utilities and loans. Consider TheRentersGuide.ca giving to charity on a regular basis too. Occasional expenses. Birthday gifts, entertainment, dining out, school trips and clothing can quickly add up. Ensure you watch these expenses closely.
Emergencies. Build up some savings in an emergency fund. A rule of thumb is three months of your income. Save for the future. Put some money aside for a new home, car or family vacation. Remember to contribute to an RRSP and RESP. Paying off debt should be a priority too. Consider asking a financial advisor to help you plan and budget. More tips on how to save for the future are available at www.franklintempleton.ca. NC

tidy up!
*P
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
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’.

GREEN APARTMENT
SHOPPING
How to find a building with an environmentally responsible property manager b y T ed Whi T ehead Over the past few years, protecting the environment has attracted a phenomenal amount of media coverage and concern across industries, including the multi-residential apartment industry. There is a continually growing trend in Ontario amongst both property managers and tenants to become more eco-friendly in their day-to-day living, and this focused attention to environmental responsibility is very refreshing. The property manager is responsible for nurturing this shared mindset in the building – and environmentally conscientious apartment shoppers can ask specific questions to find out just how “Green” a building is. For example, ask whether the building manager has a plan in place for promoting energy efficiency and proper waste disposal, and whether they lead by example. When tenants move in, is there any kind of package or document that outlines waste management and recycling procedures in the building? Are there blue box recycling containers in user-friendly areas of the building for tenants’ use? Is the property manager well versed on the environmental programs in place in their municipality? Landlords and property managers should actively promote conservation and energy awareness to staff and tenants as a community initiative, and can inform tenants of special events such as Earth Week and Waste Reduction Week. Water conservation is another area where apartment TheRentersGuide.ca building owners can make an effort. If it is time to replace appliances in the apartment kitchens or washers and dryers in laundry rooms, consider Energy Star rated choices that use far less energy. Low-water capacity flush toilets and water-saving showerheads are examples of fixtures to turn TheRentersGuide.ca to when existing units need to be replaced.
Most apartment tenants are happy to comply with waste disposal practices, as long as they know what is expected of them. Again, in a building that is run in a professional manner, this kind of information is generally provided upon move-in. Property managers and landlords should let tenants know what constitutes refuse and disposal items that can be placed in the wheeled carts or front-end containers that are emptied regularly by the municipality. When you consider how many people live and work in apartment buildings, the potential to take steps individually and collectively toward Green practices can have a substantial impact on reducing the carbon footprint of the buildings. A simple small thing, like switching off all the lights in your apartment home every time you leave it can have a big impact. As you search for the perfect building, keep the colour Green in mind and ask questions before you make your move. For more information on how to enhance the quality of life in apartment buildings, visit www.frpo.org, the site of the Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario, and www.crbprogram.org, where you can learn about the Certified Rental Building Program that can help you find reliable, well-run choices in your area.

REVEAL THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL
of the
HOME OFFICE
by JO ALCORN | PHOTOGRAPHY by ROBERT CARTER
BEFORE
As much As we All wAnt A stunning office of trAnquility
and efficiency, the budget is never as big as we desire. Yet, even with champagne taste on a beer budget, there are clever design directions that anyone can follow to accomplish that high-end look for less. The flexibility to work from home has increased tenfold in the past few years but that often means more and more people can be found with their office space either mixed into their living room, bedroom or a spare room. It is important to remember that the space you work in should be one of motivation and inspiration. We spend a lot of time in these areas, so it should be a space we love and want to come into. When I first saw my client’s office, I immediately felt tired, bored and uninspired even to want to enter the room. My client’s office space was a great size, however you would never know it with the layout she had, the mis-proportioned furniture in it and the dark walls closing in on the space. A great office was hidden from its true potential, as many are when the desk is pushed up against the wall or a window. In this redesign, we had the freedom to truly open up the floor layout by moving the desk to the middle of the room, which created great wall space behind for storage, a sitting area in the corner and an inspirational wall to brighten up the room. By reconfiguring the space it instantly became more inviting, exciting and overall more efficient. Paint goes a long way and just by updating the dark room with light, trendy and cheerful colours, the room immediately transformed into a space of inspiration. I used Para Paints trend colours on the walls, and I also work with Para and created my own paint colour called JoJo. It is the brightest of whites and goes on thick and luxurious. Bringing a light colour into a dark room always creates the illusion of more space. Due to a tight budget, painting a fun pattern on the wall was less expensive than wallpaper and we achieved the same look. I had Jim Connelly, the painter from the Debbie Travis show, come in to create an amazing zig-zag accent wall that sets off the entire office making the space motivating to enter. Accent lighting and accessories were added from Bouclair Home (bouclair. TheRentersGuide.ca com) to create a great ambiance to work in and much needed storage pieces. The perfect desk and chair were sourced from a Canadian gem called Harkel

(all pieces are made and manufactured in Canada!) – harkeloffice.com. On the one wall we added inspirational quotes to budget-friendly frames hung on picture racks and the wall, the nice part of this DIY project is the quotes can be changed to keep up with the growing mind of your child or you can use them to showcase your children’s art masterpieces. My client spends many hours in her office and I wanted to create a room that was fresh in colour, had sophisticated storage and an efficient workspace that illustrated her true professional personality. I then tied it all together with fun, budget-friendly textures and accessories, which are needed to achieve a clever and interesting home office to work in. We saved money in certain design areas and made sure to splurge on the

Aging pArents Talking about the money B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade

e often get involved in our parents’ financial lives when we begin to worry about little things falling through the cracks. It starts simply enough: arranging for automatic payment of expenses such as utility and TheRentersGuide.ca insurance bills, or for the direct deposit of pension and benefit checks. Sometimes it means setting up a joint account with on-line or telephone banking privileges so we can do a quick check to make sure everything TheRentersGuide.ca in the account is going smoothly (no overdrafts!).
Over time, as our parents’ physical and mental health becomes more of an issue, we begin to worry that our parents’ affairs are in order, and that we will be able to step in, should that be required. Sometimes a serious accident or severe illness can force us into our parents’ financial lives. Sadly, we find that we have no idea where all the important stuff is - the money, the investments, the insurance, the safety deposit box, the will, the powers of
TheRentersGuide.ca
attorney - so we must scramble to find them just
when we’re also scrambling to cope with a parent’s death or disability.

finances You’ve got to talk about this stuff with your folks. If you don’t take care of business, the long-term repercussions can be very serious. A case in point: It is vital that your parents execute a will and powers of attorney if they have not already done so. Without them, your parents will have lost their ability to name a trusted representative to be in control of their affairs. Even if you have joint ownership of assets such as a home with your parent, you won’t be able to make changes until someone is appointed to represent your parent’s interest. Just beginning this discussion means facing difficult issues such as death or incapacitation. People are hugely resistant to talking openly about them. For parents who are reluctant to sign documents that they feel reduces their personal control over their finances, and even their lives, suggest the naming of two children (or a child and lawyer or accountant) to act on their behalf. The two parties named then act as a check on each other. And the power of attorney can be left with a third party with specific instructions as to its release. As well, it can be limited in terms of the specific time period or specific acts. Don’t minimize your parent’s need for a sense of personal control. And don’t confuse physically frailty with mental incapacity. A high-powered executive used to controlling his environment will push back hard. It’ll be exhausting. And you’ll have to put limits on running around at his demand. Being old doesn’t mean your parents will suddenly turn into docile lambs, so brace yourself. A strong parent remains a strong parent. Give aging relatives as much control and involvement in financial decisions as possible. If you must assume full responsibility for a relative’s finances, continue to share information with other family members.You might even want to consider family meetings to discuss finances, just to keep everyone current on spending and income. Reluctant to talk with your parents about financial topics? Welcome to the club. One study showed that 35 percent of TheRentersGuide.ca people agreed to the statement,“I avoid discussions about money matters with my family.”But there’s real danger in not knowing. If you’re out of the loop on your
parents’ financial status, it’s hard to know what type of care would be affordable if they have an accident or get ill. Parents unwilling to talk to you? You might choose to use a friend’s death as a place to start talking about the“what ifs.”Or the death of a celebrity may provide an opening.You might also use your own financial review to ask for parental advice and begin the discussion. Still feeling icky? You’re not prying.You don’t need to know what’s in the will, just where it is.You don’t need to know how much insurance, just where it’s kept. By becoming informed about where all the financial stuff is, and by talking about how your parents would want matters handled if they couldn’t do it themselves, you’ll be able to take care of them in the way they would want. Your Approach Approach your parent practically and in a non-intimidating environment. Know that you may have to suggest a discussion several times, or take small steps toward a full disclosure. Parents reluctant to talk to you specifically? Offer to help in finding a professional advisor and back out once they’re in good hands. If you find stuff you just weren’t prepared for: unpaid bills, misplaced documents,
unfiled tax returns, don’t panic and don’t blame. The job at hand is to fix the problems. Don’t judge your parents’ choices. So what if your mother has $30,000 sitting in a savings account earning .25 percent in interest. That’s her choice. Remember, it’s her money.You might make suggestions for changes, but the decision should still be hers. What You Need To Know You need to know where to find personal and financial documents in the event of an emergency. Find out: where they bank where their investments are held who their advisors (accountant, lawyer, broker, financial planners) are where the will is kept and who the executor is where other legal documents such as powers of attorney are kept

quick tips
Make paint supply
shopping easier
•
A
ll painting projects begin the same way – with a trip to the hardware store or home centre to gather supplies. Before you head out, treat this shopping trip like you would one to the grocery store – by making a list of the items you need. Since you’re going to need much more than paint and a paintbrush, take the guesswork out of supply shopping with this helpful shopping list.
• Paint – find a shade that’s perfect for your personality and style by bringing home a few samples. Paint different sections of the wall and live with them for a few days to determine which one is the right colour for your room.
• Roller cover – choose roller cover appropriate for the job. For drywall or plaster, use covers designed for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces. Different types of paint (latex or oil) also need different rollers.
• Painter’s tape – helps to keep clean lines as you cut in or paint trim. Use a high-quality tape that’s trusted by the pros like a brand called Painter’s Mate Green tape. It will help you attain professional painting precision without the professional contractor price.
• Brush – available in various sizes, brushes help to cut in walls and paint trim; angled options perform better for detailed work. Don’t skimp on the brush; a quality brush applies paint smoothly and evenly.
• Primer – use a primer to seal the walls so that paint covers smoothly and evenly. There are now paints with primer already in them, which can help save time.
• Drop cloths and plastic sheeting – good to protect your flooring, carpet and furniture while you’re painting.
• Stir stick – make sure to ask the paint desk for stir sticks; it’s always a good idea to stir paint and/or primer before you begin.
TheRentersGuide.ca
• Pour spout – helps to pour paint with less mess and keeps the can clean and label directions visible.
TheRentersGuide.ca
• Roller tray and liner– you’ll need a tray to dip your roller and brush into. Disposable liners allow for the tray to stay clean and be re-used.
• • • • • •
0
• Screwdriver – when using paint in a metal can, this helps remove the lid. By arming yourself with a helpful list, you’ll be sure to pick up everything you need – and eliminate a second, third or even fourth trip back to the store.

What to look for in an apartment By Jane Herman
A
re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized. But where do you start? The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month? Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income. This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget. Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things. Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school. If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision? With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________
TheRentersGuide.ca
Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry TheRentersGuide.ca
facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems. A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area. Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building. Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area. You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too. When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit. Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape TheRentersGuide.ca measure to see how your furniture might work in the space. If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Rental Agreements What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease
W
hen you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also often called a “lease.”
Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms. To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most rental agreements: • The names of the landlord and tenant(s). • The address of the home or apartment you are renting. • The monthly rent you agreed to pay, with or without utilities, parking, cable television or other services. • The date when the rent is due (for example, on the first day of each month).
TheRentersGuide.ca • The amount and terms of any rent, security or damage deposits you agreed to pay.
• A list of which repairs or upkeep will be your responsibility. • The term of rental period (most rental agreements are usually for one year, but some may be month-to-month or week-to-week). • The conditions for ending or canceling your lease, including financial implications and the amount of advance notice you must give the landlord if you decide to move out (for example, 60 days notice). • The rules or restrictions for subletting the property. • The amount the landlord is allowed to increase the rent in the future. • Any other specific restrictions (such as whether or not you can smoke in the home and whether you can have boarders, pets or a waterbed, etc.). • Details on when and how the landlord can enter your home or apartment. • The procedure for making changes to the contract. • A method for resolving any disputes or disagreements (for example, disputes about late rent payments, damage to the property or eviction). • Contact information for both you and your landlord in case of an
emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email). For more information or a free copy of CMHC’s Guide to Renting a Home, call CMHC at 1-800-6682642 or visit our website at www. cmhc.ca.

Packing Tips and List
P
Tips to make your move a little easier.
P
Packing TiPs
❏ ❏
Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.
❏
Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.
❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏
Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.
❏
Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.
❏
Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack
Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.
Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed. List the contents of the box on the side of it. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)
general moving TiPs
❏ Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.
❏ Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.
❏ To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.
❏ Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

DON’T MAKE THE MISTAKE of thinking a will is not a priority
D
id you know that many Canadians mistakenly believe that having a will is not a priority? Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, a will is probably the most important document you will ever write.
completed university and had their own home and a secure income, might end up receiving the same amount as another child with very different needs. As well, without a will there could be no special gifts to your lifelong friend, or a bequest to your favourite community or non-profit organization, such as a health charity or a group like Amnesty International. In sum, no concerns for your thoughts on the size of any bequests to anyone would be addressed without a proper will. AVOID FAMILY DISPUTES Having a proper will also goes a long way to preventing family tiffs. A current study showed that one in five Canadians has experienced family disputes over inheritances.
If you die without a will, the province in which you live will decide how to distribute your estate. And if you have children who are minors, the provincial government (through the Public Trustee) will decide who will raise and care for them. Children might be taken into public custody until guardians are
It is likely many of these involved circumstances where there was no will. With a properly written will, the guesswork is eliminated and the family is clear on your intentions. The emotional turmoil which is natural at such a time can be greatly reduced by having made your wishes clear in a written will. AVOID UNNECESSARY DELAYS AND COSTS Another compelling reason to have a will is to save money. Many people mistakenly think their estates are too small to warrant having a will, but the

The filter is vital to a perfect
cup of coffee Melitta Canada.“Now filters are so much more to a cup of coffee. The filter you choose has a direct impact on that final flavour you’re after.”
N Fea
What do you need to know about your filter to create your perfect cup of morning coffee? Experts agree, cone paper coffee filters do the best job in removing particulates. They trap sediments for a smoother, less bitter and more flavourful coffee. And according to research, paper filters also affect the health components of a cup of coffee. Unlike metal filters they have an impressive ability to remove fatty oils, which can increase cholesterol levels.
A
n alarm clock blares, sending shock waves through a comatose body, sounding more like a starter pistol signaling the beginning of yet another day’s rat race. With the chaotic, running to stand still, frantic pace of our lives today, many say that the first cup of coffee is more important than ever.
“Our paper filters are made exclusively from southern pine pulp and bamboo to maximize the absorbency of oils and acids for a less bitter, richer, smoother – and healthier – cup of coffee,” Buckingham explains. “With so much riding on that first cup, we recommend that coffee drinkers take care in selecting the filter that best fits their taste and machine.”
Tips for perfect brewing: • Carefully select your coffee (beans or grind) based on your personal preference. • Keep the beans and the coffee as fresh as possible by using air tight containers. • Choose your brewing technique wisely. • Use paper filters for better results.
With so much pressure to deliver, it’s worth taking a closer look at the TheRentersGuide.ca coffee making process – at the beans, the roast, and the brewer to start. Have you also examined the filter?
• For the best tasting coffee, use filtered or bottled water.
“A hundred years ago when the famed coffee connoisseur Melitta Bentz invented the first filter, it was simply about removing the unwanted loose TheRentersGuide.ca grounds and residues,”says Ian Buckingham, vice president of sales for
• Brew what you plan to drink – coffee that is left sitting will have a stale or burnt taste that can ruin your morning coffee experience. NC

Clutter Eight tips from organizing guru Laura Wittmann of Clutter Rehab to get you inspired for spring cleaning and clearing.
1 | Ask clutter questions As you face each clutter decision, ask yourself the questions below. You can do this in two ways. One is to evaluate each item by asking all the questions about it at once. If the thought of that seems too overwhelming, you can ask them in stages. For example, evaluate each item by going through and only asking the first question. Then take that same pile and go through the items again asking the second question and so on. By the time you answer all five questions, your pile should be considerably smaller (if you’ve been honest, that is!) questions: • Do I love it? • Do I use it? How long ago did I last use it? (More than a year? Toss it!) • Do I have the room to store it without it affecting my efficiency and stress levels? • Am I willing to give up something else in order to make room for it? TheRentersGuide.ca • Can I imagine myself or anyone else in my family ever loving it or using it in the foreseeable future? 2 | use An “i’m outtA here” shelf Without this shelf I would be lost! This is a shelf near my TheRentersGuide.ca entryway that I use for all the things that don’t belong in my
house but need to go somewhere else: items that need to be returned to the store, a friend’s plate leftover from the last dinner party, magazines I want to pass along to someone else, letters to be mailed, etc. The trick is to get into two habits: to put stuff on the shelf that has to go out and to actually check the shelf before leaving the house to see if there’s an errand that can be run on your route. I’ve made it part of my before bed “10-minute” tidy to round-up these misplaced items and add them to the shelf so they’re ready and waiting for me the next day when I head out to do my errands. 3 | estAblish A “commAnd centre” A “command centre” is a beautiful thing. It’s the ideal spot to capture bits and pieces of life that are happening right now and can’t be filed away just yet. It’s not a solution to the permanent filing. Instead, it’s a revolving display of miscellaneous documentation, a communication centre for the goings-on of life. Perfect for things such as important telephone numbers, birthday party invitations, receipts for items needing to be returned, school papers with specific TheRentersGuide.ca information on an upcoming event, papers that need to be referenced routinely, or bills to be paid. Ideally, you want to choose a central location in your home, that you can’t help but see every day and that is accessible by all members of the
TheRentersGuide.ca
C f c n w s t
family. It should include a central calendar, a message centre, and file holders or bins for each of your children’s school papers – and don’t forget the chore charts. 4 | keep your vehicle stocked with essentiAls You never know what’s going to happen when you’re out and about. Organization helps you be prepared for whatever life throws at you. While we can’t control the traffic, weather, or even sick kids, we can keep our vehicles stocked to help us in these situations should they happen. Grab yourself a container and fill it with a first aid kit, wipes, a change of clothes if you have little ones, extra diapers, Ziploc bags for travel sickness, tissues, receiving blankets (these work at any age for quick cleanups!), activity kits for traffic-stalling boredom, and of course, snacks and water. Don’t forget to keep a trash bag in your car at all times as well. You wouldn’t throw garbage on your floor at home, so don’t do it in the vehicle, either. Every time you get gas, get in the habit of dumping the garbage. Just a little advance planning can make a huge difference to how your day will end up playing out. 5 | keep projects in progress under control Projects in progress can hold us back. Whether we’re aware of it or not. Do you have projects that don’t interest you anymore, that have been cluttering up your space for years, yet you feel some sort of obligation to complete? It might be time to let them go and feel the weight lift from your shoulders as a result. Go ahead! What are you waiting for? Think about whether or not the space you have given your clutter permission to take over could be put to better use. Are you really willing to give up square footage of usable space in your home for stuff you “might” just use or need one day? Really stop and think about the power you’re putting in your clutter’s hands. What kind of hold does it have on you and why are you allowing it to happen? 6 | use visuAl cues to eliminAte clutter Sometimes with everything else going on, we can’t remember what we’ve used and what we haven’t. It’s time for some visual cues. For instance, turn the hangers around in your closet to face the opposite direction; as you wear something, turn the hanger back around. At the end of the season, you’ll know exactly what you’ve worn and what needs to be purged. Alternatively, place small stickers on your clothing, and when you wear something remove the sticker. Anything remaining with a sticker after a year is ready to leave the nest.

7 | instAll closet orgAnizers Closets without organizers seem naked and are crying out for organization. You can literally double the amount of closet space you have by adding an organizer to it and I’m TheRentersGuide.ca not talking an expensive one, either. You can get perfectly wonderful inexpensive closet organizers at most department stores. I like the ones that provide the cubbies in the middle – they make my heart sing!

8 | tAckle smAll tAsks to get big results So often we don’t want to start an organizing project because we think it will take too long. Trying to find large chunks of time can seem overwhelming. Thankfully, many organizing tasks can be completed in short bursts of attention. Committing to these small tasks on a daily basis creates a sense of accomplishment that fuels continuation and fosters self-discipline. Once you see how easy and rewarding it is to tackle one small task or space at a time, the impact of those results will make you want to do it over and over and over again, until you become an addict like me!
orgAnizing tAsks thAt cAn be done in 30 minutes or less: • Organize a drawer • Organize a bookshelf • File papers • Update your calendar • Organize DVDs • Check for expired products in your fridge • Sort hats and mitts • Create email folders • Organize your wallet or purse • Clean out backpacks • Tidy your desk

Avenue Road and St. Clair B y J ane Her man
I
n the late 19th century, the hill at the top of the rise around Avenue Road and St. Clair contained a group of mansions known as Millionaires Row. Most have since been demolished but Spadina House (the former home of the Austin family across from Casa Loma), and the former Oaklands, now De LaSalle College, are the only two houses of this era that still remain. On the west side of Avenue Road just south of St. Clair stood the Benvenuto, the home of Simeon James, the developer of the Annex, and Rathnelly, the home of Senator William McMaster. In 1924 the Benvenuto estate was broken up after the death of its second owner, Sir William Mackenzie, and several luxurious apartment buildings were built on its TheRentersGuide.ca grounds including three six-storey Art Deco buildings at the southwest corner of Avenue Road and Edmund (394-6-8 Avenue Road). The most luxurious and stylish buildings of this period were The Balmoral, (150 Balmoral Avenue at Avenue Road) The Clarendon (2 TheRentersGuide.ca Clarendon Avenue at Avenue Road) and The Claridge,
(1 Clarendon Avenue at Avenue Road). Spacious and opulent, these apartments were modeled on those being constructed in New York and Boston at the time, as houses were becoming expensive to buy and maintain. These buildings were designed by prominent architects of the period, featuring beautiful details and were finely crafted in brick and stone in historical styles that express grandeur. The Clarendon is a four-storey Tudor palace that was designed by the architect Charles Dolphin, who is also known for the Toronto Postal Delivery Building (now the Air Canada Centre). The Clarendon featured spacious apartments with one to four bedrooms. Comprised of three four-storey brick buildings with a generous amount of smooth stone trim, the building’s tall leadedglass casement windows are typical of the Tudor Revival TheRentersGuide.ca style. The centre block’s decorative parapet adds to the motif and the building’s name and a shield are carved above the entrance. According to architectural historian William Dendy, the apartments offered layouts compa-

front entry, rounded corners and wrap-around windows and protruding brick speed-stripes. This building is best known for being the residence of the great classical pianist Glenn Gould. As you can see, the front entrance has been remodeled and the windows have been updated. These buildings are all listed on the City of Toronto’s Inventory of Heritage Properties. Living in one of them would be a privilege and a delight. rable to a Forest Hill home with living rooms averaging 14 x 25 feet, each containing a fireplace, and separate dining rooms averaging 11 x 22 feet. The apartment also featured bathrooms with marble shower stalls as well as tubs and rear service stairs. The building also contained luxurious amenities that were unheard of in that day. Private parties could be held in the grand oak-panelled reception hall, which had an adjacent restaurant. There were also separate men’s and women’s exercise rooms, a fully equipped billiard room, and a miniature golf course at the rear. The Balmoral, designed by S.B. Coon and Son, resembles a giant Tudor palace and is the most stately of the three buildings. Constructed in tan brick and trimmed with white stone, the entrance on Balmoral St. features a two-storey arch with a carved gable and a pendant lantern. The distinctive banks of casement windows grouped in tall bays are a distinguishing feature of the apartments, which stretch across the entire width of the façade. Stone parapets at the second floor and roofline hold the design together. The Claridge, designed by Baldwin and Greene, (who also designed the Art Deco Victory and Concourse Buildings in the Financial District) is a 6-storey H-shape. This building shows distinctive Venetian influences. Note the elaborate exterior brickwork, with its exquisite patterns and textures. The lobby was designed by Group of Seven artist J.E.H. MacDonald. The beamed ceiling, painted in gold, blue, red and black in a geometrical design, features zodiac signs and suns. The interior is filled with light and rich colour.
TheRentersGuide.ca Just around the corner at 110 Avenue Road is The Park Lane, a Moderne style apartment building designed by Page and Steele in 1938. The nine-storey brick building features the distinctive side wings that create a recessed

f you’re like most people, the area behind your entertainment system is a jungle of messy cables and wires running every which way. To tame these unruly cables, try a cable tunnel kit. Your cables will be neatly routed along the wall and concealed by decorative covers that are fairly discreet, easy to install, and paintable to match your wall colour. Most kits come with both straight pieces and angled ones TheRentersGuide.ca for going around corners.
If your TV is wall mounted, consider trading in your HDMI cable for an ultra-thin version. Ultra-thin HDMI cables, like those offered by manufacturer Sanus (www.sanus.com), are slender enough to be strung alongside a wall mount, or through it if you have a full-motion mount with hollow extension arms.

hen asked about foods most often grilled, Canadians list the ubiquitous hamburger patty (56 per cent), followed by steak (48 per cent), chicken pieces (36 per cent), and hot dogs (19 per cent). These trends were revealed on an annual barbecue survey by Weber. And, when asked for the one all-time favourite barbecue item, steak tops the list (48 per cent).

Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F). In a large bowl gently combine the patty ingredients and shape into four patties of equal size and thickness, each about ¾ inch thick. With your thumb or the back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation about one inch wide in the centre of each patty. This will help the patties cook evenly and prevent them from puffing on the grill. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the patties over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to medium doneness, eight to 10 minutes, turning them once when the patties release easily from the grate without sticking. During the last minute of grilling time, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt and toast the rolls, cut side down. Build each burger with sun-dried tomato spread and lettuce.

hoosing local vegetables is not only a great way to eat healthy but it’s also fun for the whole family. For this recipe visit your favourite farmer’s market to find the seasonal potatoes, red onions and cucumber.

serves: 6
Directions:
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cover potatoes with water in a 3-litre saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
cooking time: 10 minutes ingreDients: 1 pound red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces 700 mL (3 cups) cooked chicken, cut into bite-size pieces (about 3 cups) 230 mL (1 cup) peeled and chopped cucumber 120 mL (1/2 cup) Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise 120 mL (1/2 cup) chopped red onion
TheRentersGuide.ca
120 ml (1/2 cup) chopped celery 35 mL (2 1/2 tbsp) cayenne pepper sauce 30 mL (2 tbsp) crumbled blue cheese
Toss potatoes with remaining ingredients in serving bowl. Sprinkle with blue cheese. Serve chilled or at room temperature and, if desired, on a bed of lettuce, garnished with celery leaves. Did you know? Mayonnaise is a great substitute for traditional cooking oils since it locks in flavour and moisture, giving you juicy, tasty chicken breasts with the added benefit of omega-3, a polyunsaturated fat. Since Canada’s Food Guide recommends eating a small amount (30-45 mL or two to three tbsp) of unsaturated fat each day, mayonnaise is a great ingredient to add to your dish or meal.

The beauty of
a floor-length blind is from head to toe
A
t first sight, you’d say that a Perceptions blind is a big, beautiful expanse of glamorous sheer fabric. But have a closer look. As the sun rises in the sky you’ll realize that behind the fabric are movable vanes that subtly filter the incoming light. As day turns into night, you can close the vanes completely, to ensure privacy.
“Despite its high functionality this blind is very flexible, with a soft, less techno look that will harmonize with just about any room style,” says Mary Dobson, the spokesperson in Canada for Levolor Window Fashions, and a frequent presenter on Citytv’s Cityline. “There’s a wide range of fabrics to choose from, not only delicate neutrals including a beautiful soft gray, but also several strong, vibrant colours. The Seclusion collection is semi-opaque, ideal for locations where privacy may be an issue.”
TheRentersGuide.ca And that’s not all. This floor length blind covers a walk-out to the patio. The entire blind, sheer fabric and light-filtering vanes, can be moved smoothly and quietly, out of the way if you’d rather enjoy the full view, or step outside onto the patio. TheRentersGuide.ca
“You’ll also find a wide selection of valances,” says Mary. “There are decorative fabric valances, and rods in five different finishes, with a variety of end caps and finials. Subtle or ornate, laid back or bold and TheRentersGuide.ca beautiful, these blinds will adapt to any style or location.”
With a choice of stacking patterns and controls, plus the possibility of 12 foot wide panels, the Perceptions line provides a simple, elegant and flexible light control solution for large windows and doors. Mary reminds us that the “layered look” remains popular in window treatments, and with the vast selection of Levolor fabric choices and types it’s possible to fully co-ordinate your windows with any room in your home.
