Another gorgeous home staged by Hope Designs. This home was a dream come true! Nestled on 5 acres in the beautiful hills of Caledon. The property boasts a pond and its own creek running through the back forest not to mention a gorgeous salt water swimming pool. It was truly a pleasure to stage. The sellers where anxiously awaiting the offers to roll in, thankfully they didn't have a long wait, the property SOLD for list price in under one month.

One sure fire way to loose a sale is to show a home with dingy bathrooms. Home owners want to feel as though they are entering a spa like environment. Tubs and showers typically show wear and tear quite quickly due to mold and mildew.

Its amazing at what an impact simply replacing older dated handles and pulls can have on the overall look of the space. Updated hardware has the ability to turn tired and worn cupboards into a sophisticated and contemporary kitchen.

Hope Designs has had a BUSY summer. The market is improving and showing signs of recovery. As evident by the number of SOLD signs cropping up in Toronto and the GTA.
Houses are typically selling in less than a week, with many as quick as overnight!
Staging has become even more important with today's highly competitive market you can't afford not to stage your home!

Droughts are very common in the summer months. This can be very detrimental for homeowners who are attempting to keep their homes exterior in tip-top condition while listed for sale. In most cases, when you’re trying to sell your home you have so much on your mind, watering your gardens and plants is the last thing on your mind! Drought conditions can make even the most seasoned gardeners anxious about the impact of NO RAIN on their plants.
Watering is one solution, but as a CSP, our concern lies with conservation! Rain and Water Barrels are a great alternative to collect water for future watering when it rains. However if the drought in your area is more severe, and you’re trying to be environmentally friendly and not water daily or weekly, tougher drought resistant plants may be necessary.
I have compiled a list of several drought resistant plants that are tried and true performers in Northern climates.
