Where or where to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

The Stanley Cup playoffs officially began on Wednesday and excitement is high!  There are 5 Canadian teams in the playoffs this year and whoever you're cheering for you can bet that there are going to be some great "edge of your seat" games to watch.  The big question is where or where are you going to watch these incredible playoffs?!  A good option is a sports bar where you can...

Space or clutter?

Now the last thing you want to do is make a space look smaller, especially one that may be quite small to  begin with ahem wink Toronto and Vancouver condos.  However, clutter is worse!  So let's say you have a lot of books 'cause let's face it reading is a beautiful thing for the mind and soul. You like to collect books and you are not going to adapt to reading on an iPad or Kobo. ...

Pantone’s 2015 color of the year is…

  Ooh ooh ooh Pantones colour of the year is a spicy one and we must admit we love it!  It's rich, it deep, it's luxiourious, it's Marsala!  It will add instant warmth to any space in your condo.  So if a new year means a new look for your home then be sure to incorporate Marsala into the mix.  If you love the colour as much as we do then use it to paint...

Calling all design gurus to bring carpet back!

    As the colder seasons approach I can't help but miss the warm feeling of a high quality plush carpet at my feet.  Now I agree with most of you who think you can't go wrong with wood flooring.  It does look great and in terms of resale it does help, but my feet still long for the comfort of carpet.  I can hear you shouting "go invest in some slippers why don't you!"...but...

Could this vacuum be the one?

We've all done it.  We bought the cheaper vacuum because who wants to spend so much money on a Dyson?  Well we are here to say that Dyson vacuums are worth every pretty penny!  It took me 3 broken crappy vacuums before I finally splurged and bought a Dyson, and fingers crossed so far so good!  My carpet, tile and wood areas have never looked or felt cleaner.  Plus it is so easy...

Summer is not over!

The Christmas addition Sears Catalogue came in the mail the other day.  Now I know summer is coming to an end but did they really have to shove it in my face like that?  I mean come on at least let me enjoy the last week of August before I have to start planning my Christmas shopping!  Ok, perhaps I'm being a bit melodramatic but if this winter is going to be anything like last year's...

I’ll take that table in condo size please!

You did it!  You purchased your first property!  Tell Mom and Dad thanks for the 20 plus years of hospitality but you are leaving now.  Sure they will miss cooking for you, picking up after you and doing your laundry, but I'm sure they will get over it...eventually.  Like many first-time buyers you were probably drawn to a condominium as it had the affordability and convenience you were...

Wow, we have been getting some good weather lately!  Not only has it been sunny and warm but it has been consistent.  So consistent that dare I say it's ok to put away your heavy winter clothes and proudly display your summer things. Condo residents every inch of your closets must be utilized and to do this you should be packing away your winter items and placing them in a vacuum seal bag that...

Are you using your condo gym?

The Sochi 2014 Olympics have been over for almost a couple of weeks now but we're still riding high on the epic performances of so many talented Canadian athletes!  It was really inspiring and motivating to watch. Motivating in a way that wanted us to hit the gym or outdoors and be in peak performance mode. The question of the hour though is did that motivation last for us non high-performing...

Happy Valentine’s Day To You!

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!  It's the day to show that special someone in your life just how special they are to you.  Chocolates supposedly mean I love you, so they are often a good bet. Now just don't go eating them all in one sitting!  Flowers supposedly mean I'm sorry so if you haven't been a good guy this may be your go to gift..  Then there is jewelry, now this is...
