Daniela Pluviati Home Staging

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I love to change my throw pillows and add some beach inspired decor during the summer. It works nicely with our home and makes me feel happy! 

If you are looking to paint a room or two and need a little colour inspiration then maybe the paint colours below could work. These are all Sherwin Williams paint colour that I am totally loving. They are perfect for that beachy feel.

Basements offer extra space that is valuable for a family. Having an extra finished bedroom, play area or entertainment area has many benefits. Potential buyers look for the extra space. Redesigning a few spaces in the basement does add value to a home. 

Below is a redesign project that will be finished soon. The completed room will be a downstairs bedroom suitable for a boy. Here are a few things to consider when choosing finishes for your downstairs bedroom redesign. 

• Lighting-Basements tend to be darker because of smaller windows. Adding pot lights is a great way to add more overhead lighting. 
• Organization and closet-Having enough closet space is essential and having closet organizer is really nice to have. The client decided on a built in closet.
• Flooring-There are many great options for basement bedrooms. I personally like the idea of installing something like Dri-Core then laminate. Adding an area rug for warmth and texture is also a great idea. 
• Paint-Choosing the right paint colour based on what finishes and lighting is in the room is important. I love to hang large paint samples on the wall. This is a great way for clients to see what the colour looks like in their room.

Have a great week see you Monday!

Happy Monday!

Kate Bell Design did such a fantastic job creating just the perfect home for her clients. The home features a beautiful palette of neutrals and pale pastels. Bringing the water and home together seamlessly with the right combination of finishes and paint colours makes for a stunning home.

The living room combines textures and soft coloured linens. It feels like a relaxing retreat. How can you not love the dining room. The designer chose a soft blue paint colour that brings the outdoors in creating a soothing coastal feel. 

Although I love every single space the master bathroom is jaw dropping. Perfect for a relaxing bath. This home is perfect and the colours are perfect. Have a look below!

There are only a few steps more to complete. Soon enough your garden and flower beds will not only have enough water for vegetables to grow but the system will also be timed. Although with all the rain we have had in Ottawa you may not use your sprinkler very much this summer. 

There are a few more items to purchase before your system is complete. 

1. Valves are a must and typically are grouped into Globe valves or anti-siphon valves. They control the flow of water into each zone. With an anti-siphon valve you do not need a back flow preventer. Scott chose the globe valve as it can be installed underground in a valve box. 
2. A controller is also necessary and can be purchased through Hunter or Rainbird. Some controllers are expandable so that more zones can be added to them. You can also purchase “smart” controllers that are connected to the internet.
