FOCUS ON INTERIOR COLOUR
www.sico.ca
Where there’s yellow,
there’s fun!From the office to the
kitchen, from the din-ing room to the vestibule, even in cupboards and pantries, yellow is a felt presence. In dark rooms, it’s evanescent, in large rooms it instills warmth and in sun-filled rooms it intensifies the light.
YellowGo-Go
Let the sun shine in! Smiles by the gallon! Enthusiastic, exuberant, dazzling yellow is the colour of confidence. All sunny smiles, yellow spreads happiness wherever it is, wherever you want to create a feeling of vitality, motion and life!
And the Gold goes to ...Ochre Yellows
If you’re after a light, bright mood, you’ll be pleased to discover ochre yellows. Perfect for a foyer, ochre yellows reflect a warm, saturated light, which makes golden yel-low an all-round winner! It’s love at first sight for some, because ochre yellows look especially handsome with solid wood furniture and flooring, especially in shades of cognac and mahogany. The effect is always warm and wonderful.
Green yellows are clearly versatile
In all their variety, yellows tinged with green convey fresh-ness and comfort in the same way that the sun warms the countryside. Green yellows lift dark, cosy decors, warm cold surfaces and look fabulous next to plants and flowers.
Creamy yellows are perfect anywhere
The chameleons of colour, creamy yellows have an incredible ability to adapt to the most diverse materials. And to all styles of furniture.
Creamy yellows draw you into a room, and confer an ambiance of summer, while remaining the epitome of class. In those rooms where traditionally you might ex-pect to find prim and proper colours, the creamy yellows of the moment surprise the eye. Pleasantly.
Colour zoning (also known as colour block-ing) is the intentional painting of shapes of col-our within a room and it’s a very hot trend in today’s home décors. It opens up a whole new way of using and defining colour in a space. It’s a great tech-nique to add “punch” to a room without being over-whelming. Colour zoning can add definition, high-light interesting architec-tural elements, create a focal point, or function as artwork.
It’s all about using col-ours creatively to add in-terest to spaces and bring rooms to life. People today invest more time in decorating their sur-roundings and are dem-onstrating this by using colour in unique ways to deliver personal style to their living spaces. Colour zoning is changing the way people think about paint and colour and the only limit is your imagin-ation.
This technique usu-ally requires a very small quantity of paint so it can
be a very inexpensive way to accessorize your décor with fun shapes and colours. More information on colour zoning is avail-able at www.sico.ca.

Whether buying or selling, give me a call.I will work hard for you!
Househunter’sBargain
Houses that are spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated tend to sell quickly for top dollar. At the same time, many homebuyers completely dismiss listings that are messy, need paint, smell bad, or lack the appeal that a well cared for home offers. Some are even scared off by an unkempt yard. If you can overlook surface clutter or other cosmetic failings of a house, the result may be substantial savings.
When you look at homes, try to imagine the rooms empty, with fresh paint and refinished floors or new carpet. Consider the good things about the each house. Would it get lots of sunlight if the drapes were opened and the windows cleaned? Does the back yard have potential? Try to distinguish between the cosmetic condition and the state of the structure and major systems. While some fixer-uppers will need lots of professional attention from electricians, plumbers, and other expensive professionals, other true bargains can be transformed with a little elbow grease, a paintbrush, and your imagination.
If you are thinking of relocation in the near future or simply want an update on current market conditions, please give me a call. I welcome the opportunity of giving you information and hope to be of service to you in the future.

Is the vinyl floor in your kitchen looking a little outdated? Maybe you’ve been thinking of replacing the carpet in the family room with a hard-wood or laminate floor. Purchasing a new floor is a big decision that needs careful consideration and pre-planning. So, where do you start? First, choose a flooring type. If you aren’t sure what flooring type to install, check out your local flooring store to learn more about the different types of flooring offered, including hard-wood, laminate, luxury vinyl, vinyl sheet, vinyl tile and linoleum.
Once you’ve decided on a flooring type, the next step is to think about the room where your new floor will be installed. This is an important part of the process because you want
to make sure the floor fits your lifestyle and your budget.
Consider Location
(Some floors are more “pet friendly” than others.)
you be installing the floor? (Basement, first floor, second floor, attic)
lot of moisture?Room Decor
want match your decorat-ing style? You don’t want to install a new floor and then realize you’re going to spend more money re-decorating – unless that’s the plan.
Subfloor-
crete?
have to be replaced?
Once you’ve answered these questions, you’re ready to create a budget. You can either do it your-self or get an in-home es-timate by a professional. Professional floor install-ers or contractors will come to your home to assess your design plan and provide a written es-timate.
Hardwoods floors of-fer an unrivaled splen-dor that makes decorat-ing with them seem a bit daunting. Hardwood flooring normally ac-counts for a significant portion of any decorating budget, so you will want to incorporate the floor-ing into the design, while showcasing some of your existing pieces.
Laminate flooring is the perfect way to achieve the look of natural wood or stone at a more afford-
able price point. Lamin-ate floors offer value be-cause not only do they look like the real thing, but also offer added dur-ability and resistance to everyday wear and tear. They are appropriate for nearly every space in the home, including moist or damp areas like bath-rooms and basements, where solid hardwood is not recommended.
Vinyl floors are an af-fordable option that offers style, durability, and long-lasting performance.
over proper subflooring, it is extremely resistant to dents, scratches, and stains. One of the main attractions of vinyl is that it is very durable which makes it great for high-traffic rooms.

Buying your first house can be exhilarating but it can also be a challenge. What you don’t know can hurt you, so brush up on these home-buying tips and tricks to make the most of your search for the space of your dreams.
Write a Wish ListMake a list of all the
items that absolutely must be part of your home. Figure out where you’ll be spending the most of your time, and ensure that those spaces — like a kitchen if you love to cook, or the office
if you work from home-are suitable to your needs. Does the home offer cov-eted elements like a yard, sunroom or garden ter-race? Have you always wanted an eat-in kitchen? A wraparound veranda? A bathroom off each bed-room? To maximize your options, decide what’s critically important to you versus what you are flex-ible on, and convey this to your real estate agent early on.
Location, Location, Location
Contemplate the pros
and cons of your new home’s geographical situ-ation. Is your prospect-ive pad close to all the amenities you desire, like public transport, schools or green spaces? Are the neighbours mainly single young profession-als, middle-aged families or retirees? Is it smack in the middle of a com-mercial centre, an indus-trial area, or a desirable area of town? If you’re looking uniquely for de-tached, 2-bedroom prop-erties in the city centre, you’ll be paying a pretty
penny more than if you were looking for semi-detached 3-bedrooms in an up-and-coming neigh-bourhood.
It’s What’s Inside That Counts
Size does matter-when it comes to the square footage of your new digs, that is. Think about the day-to-day running of the house: if all the ap-pliances, electricity and heating systems are older or outdated, they’ll be less
efficient and in turn more costly to maintain, plus may need replacement earlier. Also, dimensions of doorframes, hallways, and stairways can affect whether you’re able to get that heirloom armoire up the stairs, or your new King-sized bed into the guest bedroom.
Room to RenovateIf you intend to reno-
vate part of your home, make sure you’re aware of your lot space and the
legalities around build-ing up or out. Equally im-portant is to be aware of your neighbours’ building rights and forthcoming projects. You don’t want to buy a house next to a development that will become a 10-storey high-rise, blocking the light from your patio’s after-noon sun.

RIVERVIEWNEW
Whether it’s cold or sweltering outside, a bathroom can be a “fri-gid” place. In fact, it often may feel like the coldest room in the house thanks to all of that impersonal chrome, porcelain and tile. But, it doesn’t have to be. Warm up the space with some quick and easy redecorating.
Start by adding warmth and style underfoot. Cer-amic tile or natural stone can feel downright icy on bare feet, not to mention being hard and slippery when wet. Instead, con-sider fiber–backed resili-ent flooring, which offers superior performance and remarkable style – and provides the perfect com-fort for any bathroom.
Warmth, however, goes
beyond flooring. These additional decorating ideas can really heat up a cold bathroom:
plush bathmats and a sumptuous shower cur-tain
rich color to create a cozy atmosphere
with a new multi–setting showerhead that offers full–body coverage and various spray settings to keep you warm
are available at afford-able prices, offering floor–mounted, wall–mounted, hard–wired and plugged–in options
provides instantaneous warmth
With so many affordable op-tions to warm up your bath-room’s décor, there is no reason to deny yourself the luxury of a cozy, spa–like es-cape at home.
