It helps prevent mould and mildew build-up, and avoids the problems with bubbling and peeling paint. Don’t use tumbled stone on your shower floor. It is the most porous finish and will quickly absorb soap scum and grow mould. Do use polished mosaic tile on your floor. Large polished tiles may be slippery when wet, but mosaics are a perfect solution. Not only do they look beautiful, but the multiple grout lines provide traction and help prevent slips. Don’t randomly end tile in the middle of a wall without a natural stopping point or something decorative to cap the edge. It looks tacky and unfinished. Try using a marble or ceramic chair rail, a pencil (a half-round piece to match your tile) or a stone jamb. Do incorporate a shampoo niche into your shower. It provides neat storage for all your essentials and keeps everything handy at eye-level. Faucet Giveaway!

While those colours are still popular, kitchens have become a space where we cook as much as we entertain. They have revolutionized into a space where we can inject vibrant colours. AquaMassage Shower Column PierDeco www.pierdeco.com In a recent tour of Appliance Canada in Toronto with its ten thousand square feet of space showing the latest in design and technology, I was pleased to see that pops of colour have been used in appliance design. Nextstep PierDeco www.pierdeco.com A kitchen is generally a place associated with happy times. Most family events centre around food. In the past, the gatherings happened around the dinner table while the cooking was done more privately, separately in the kitchen. The two spaces are now blended together to create the perfect colourful entertainment area. Appliances - Viking Pro Viking www.appliancecanada.com You can add colour to your kitchen area in various ways. The tiny bit of wall space left after everything is installed, lends itself well to an accent colour like red, yellow or cobalt blue. You can then carry that same colour to the knobs on the cabinets. For the finishing touches, look for a small appliance that will sit on the counter top. KitchenAid has a diverse range of products in fun punchy colours. The kitchen doesn’t have to be all in one colour of wood clad appliances and cabinets. You can make the whole room a happy place by injecting bold colours in unexpected places. CanadianHomeTrends.com Autumn 2012 33 Kitchen Notable Kitchen Do’s and Don’ts Text Laura Stein Don’t insist on solid wood cabinets if you plan to have a painted finish. Wood expands and contracts with changes in humidity but paint does not, which means as soon as the season changes, the paint will crack. For painted cabinets, the best material is MDF (medium density fibreboard), a man-made wood composite that is completely stable and looks just like wood when painted. Because it doesn’t move, there will never be cracks in the paint. Finds Do use glass inserts on some of your upper cabinets. It helps break up the line Range Hood MIRABILIA by Falmec Manhattan Falmec www.falmec.com of solid doors and makes the space feel open and airy. Use frosted or textured glass if you are concerned about hiding what’s inside the cabinet. Don’t place your dishwasher or oven in a location that blocks the main traffic route in and around the kitchen when the appliance doors are open. Not only is it inconvenient, it can also be hazardous. Do place your fridge at the end of a run of cabinets rather than in a corner. Make sure you have at least eighteen inches of counter space nearby to put things down.

The colours were selected to give the kitchen a warmer, darker and homier feel. A kitchen is no longer just a space to prepare meals; it has also become an entertainment area. The use of decorative lighting and stone counter tops in warm colours (combined perhaps with natural stone for the transitional kitchen or stainless steel for the modern space) offers a sense of something special. By adding appliances in brighter colours, such as a daring red, you provide that extra bit of pop. The end result? A smashing kitchen you’ll be proud of for a long time to come. ~Glen Peloso 42” Quiet Cool™ Side-by-Side Refrigerator/Freezer VCSB – Racing Red Viking www.appliancecanada.com use a variety of textures to keep visual interest.

There are several things to remember about a bathroom as opposed to a bedroom or living room and that is that all trades must attend the job site in order to get the job done. The element of space also means that rarely can more than one person work at a time. I recommend that you always keep one working bathroom in the house (don’t do them all at the same time unless you are away). Also be sure that you have done all of the planning before you even think of starting the physical work. Planning well will ensure that the rest of the process will go smoothly. Make a decision about how you are going to use the bathroom and if you have enough space for both a bathtub and a shower. online now Time frame – 2 to 3 weeks Glen Peloso monthly newsletter keeps you up-to-date on what’s new & exciting Gwen Prince Photo Galleries bring you ideas for every room in your home marc atiyolil show get inspired with full episodes available to view online Marc Atiyolil, the Editor-in-Chief of Home Trends Magazine and an internationally syndicated newspaper columnist, provides simple yet trendy tips and tricks for the everyday homeowner in a “short and sweet” format.

Laura Stein Crystal Williams Construction work: Demolition - It is generally a fairly quick job, but a messy one. It can take longer if the location of the bathroom makes it difficult or time consuming to get the materials out of the space. - 2 days it to dry before he/she sands it to get a very smooth surface appropriate for paint. This process sometimes needs to be repeated a few times. – 2 days Rough carpentry and plumbing rough in – If there are materials that have to be repaired as a result of the previous bathroom layout, or if you are going to move walls in the bathroom to borrow space from a joining room, you will need to do some rough carpentry. Once that is complete, the plumber is going to require “rough in”. These are all of the pipes and drains that need to go behind the walls, to feed the showers, faucets, jets etc. - 2 to 5 days Tile work – This process can vary depending on the surface below on which the tiles have to be installed and if you are installing porcelain or stone in the space. Again with tiles, you must allow drying time before you can move to the next step. The complexity of the area can make it more difficult as well as the amount of tile that needs to be installed both inside the shower and on the main bath floor. - 3 to 5 days Electrical work – If you are planning on having pot lights, vanity lights, GFI plugs, the electrician will require approximately one full day to complete the job. Plan for more if you are installing bubble tubs and heated flooring units. A good electrician can generally work very efficiently. – 2 days Insulation and hanging Drywall – The installation process should go fairly quickly and generally it’s where you start to really feel a sense of progress on the job. Insulation takes about half a day while the hanging of the drywall may take a full day to complete. – 1.5 days Finish Drywall – This means the drywall installer has to apply joint compound at each seam or cut in the drywall and allow Cabinetry – Generally the cabinets are made off site and just require installation. There can be small adjustments that need to be made to get everything to fit but it is generally a fairly quick process. – 1 day Fixtures – Installing the toilet, sink and the finish plumbing which is the knobs and spouts that you see when you use a bathroom. All of this has to be connected to the shut-off valves in order to make the space functional. – 2 days Miscellaneous – Allow time to install the towel bars, put up lights, paint or wall paper the space, hang art work as well as time for things that come up during the process that you cannot anticipate until you are in the middle of the process. – 2 days CanadianHomeTrends.com Autumn 2012 47 Kitchen Remodeling Timeline Text Glen Peloso The planning is the most arduous part of any kitchen renovation but ultimately the most important part. Not having a good plan is like traveling in a foreign country without a map. It could work out very well but it is equally likely you will end up robbed and in a flea bitten motel. Renos are a foreign land and your plans are your team’s map. Step One How much space do you have to work with? Is it going to be sufficient for your needs or are you going to (a) need to move walls or (b) extend the house. If you move walls you will need to hire an architect, designer or engineer to ensure that the wall can be moved without affecting the structure of the house. If you are extending the house then an architect and designer will need to be present, along with permit and clearances from the city etc. For this timeline – we will assume you are going to work with an existing space. – An hour to several weeks/months for permit drawings and permits. Step Two The appliances are really the centre of the kitchen. Everything else is essentially storage and has to work around the appliances. First, figure out how you cook! Are you a Chef, a food lover, a food warmer or an ‘eating out” person. The cost of an appliance will go up the more you need it to do. If you make tea and warm soup you likely don’t need much but if you are a little “Madame Benoit’ you may want more. – Approx 1 week to research and place orders. Step Three You are going to need water! Do you want a double sink or single? Would you also like to have an island veg sink? What about a pot filler over the stove? Once you decide where you want to have water then you need to decide on the faucets. The placement of fixtures will affect the cabinets as you will need the plumbing to run inside them along with drains. They need to be planned out carefully before you start to drill holes in the floor. Some people like chrome while others like to have brushed steel, copper or lacquered (black, white, red, blue, etc). Knowing that, you’ll want to consider style. Is your space going to be classic, transitional or much more modern? I promise, the selection is vast! - 1 to 4 days This is where everyone (including your mother-in-law) will have an opinion so things can really slow down! You may also find that you want to change the size of your appliances based on the space you have left . Be prepared for a little give and take. When you settle on the design, then place the orders for the appliances, faucets and cabinets. - 1 to 2 weeks design, 6 to 16 weeks for cabinets to be constructed. Step Five The hard surfaces in the kitchen: this includes the flooring, counter tops and back splash. There are flooring tiles in ceramic, porcelain and stone or you can select a hardwood, cork or bamboo flooring. That decision depends on the look you are striving for. Check for stock to be in at least a week and a half before cabinets are installed. Counter top options include granite and marble, man-made stones like Caesar stone, Cambria, flex stone, Corian or laminates (marble isn’t recommended for a kitchen generally) and all of them (laminate aside) need to have a template made so they fit perfectly in your home. A template happens after cabinets are installed. Finished product won’t arrive for a couple of weeks. Back splash is selected based on the counter top and is installed after the counter top is installed so be sure you are looking at something that is available within the week after your counter top is installed. - 1 to 3 weeks. Step Six The finishing touches – like the paint, stools for the island, kitchen table, chairs and window coverings. Window coverings generally need to be custom made for your home – so add a few weeks for that. Paint colour can be a bit stronger as there is generally very little wall space to paint when everything is in place. The painting can be done in a day or so. - 1 to 6 weeks. Step four Final Note: Now comes the time to make some decisions about the layout of the kitchen and how it will function. Leave a suitable amount of time for the contractors to be able to do their work. Naturally many of these things can overlap in terms of a time frame but you really can’t do much until the cabinets are available to you. How many people use the kitchen to cook? Will you entertain a couple or several family members at the island or will it be used only as a prep table? Where will you place the appliances you selected to create a kitchen that is right for your family chef? Make these decisions with your designer as there are some rules that if not followed will leave you disappointed later on. 48 Now you can select cabinet styles, stain colours, paint finish or a combination of both. Styles range from very traditional to super modern. Perhaps look at your faucet selection to give you a sense of what you would really like. CanadianHomeTrends.com Autumn 2012 Don’t get rid of the old kitchen until you are almost ready to install the new kitchen otherwise you will be eating out a great deal. Leave yourself a reasonable amount of time to get it done properly. The kitchen is going to last you a lot longer than the irritation of the renovation. designer spaces | well planned bathroom Well Planned Bathroom Text Glen Peloso Photography Larry Arnal T raditionally, bathrooms were a room specifically used for bathing and the water closet. In the past century, these two rooms came together to form the North American bathroom. If you look back fifty or sixty years ago this new combined room was small, efficient and a space designed to get in and out of as quickly as possible. Now it is a room to luxuriate and enjoy the quiet spa in your own home. It may have something to do with the “ever connected” quality of our wireless worlds, but the value of “alone time” has demanded more square footage for our homes than it did in the past. 70 CanadianHomeTrends.com Autumn 2012 The ideal situation is to have a large tub and shower, toilet and vanity where each has elements to make the experience as relaxing as possible. Although sometimes having that amount of space just isn’t possible without compromising size of the surrounding rooms. With this particular client we had to make the choice between a tub and shower in order to ensure that at least one of them provided a luxurious look. Naturally that decision is made together with the homeowner to determine what might suit her best. A shower was the choice. We used the bulk of the room to create a large shower with two rain heads, a hand held wand as well as a few body jets to ease muscle pain. We installed a bench in the shower so that the relaxing experience of the tub could be somewhat replicated as well as providing the practical element of being able to sit to wash yourself. The strip drain installed in this shower allowed us to use a consistently large format tile on both the floor of the shower and the floor of the bathroom space, so as not to create division and hence keep the room looking large. The strip drain is also slightly easier to install as opposed to creating a funnel shape to drain the water. We also kept in mind that this renovation might well be the last one that she would do, so we planned for the future and installed grab bars and other assisting elements; being able to stay in her home would be more and more important to her as time went forward. The majority of the colour in the room was neutral. This helps create the spa-like experience and also allows her to change the colour of the accessories as the trends and seasons change. The different experiences the room offers, keeps the space feeling fresh and interesting from a design perspective for a long time. The toilet as well as the vanity, while looking to be transitional in style also had a few elements that would allow the room to work for a long time. With the cabinets, I like to install the Hettich slides and not only because they are a very good quality German made product, but the Arci-tech system can support a great deal of weight (almost 200 pounds) which as a result, can handle the bottles, creams, powders, shampoo etc. They are also self cleaning, so the humidity as well as the powders used won’t affect performance. We also installed a mechanical opening system by Hettich, so that she could open drawers and cabinets with the bump of a knee. Not essential currently, but as time marches on, grabbing knobs may become less pleasant on her hands. We selected an elongated, comfort height toilet which provides a little more luxury at the moment as well as being a little less difficult to get up from in the future. The final result is both a spa-like experience where she quickly gets ready for a day’s work, or evening out, and also a space where she can unwind from the same day’s work in peace, quiet and tranquility .
