Dear Reader,

 We live in an increasingly fast-paced world, time flies by so quickly, and here we are, it’s almost the end of another year. Sometimes significant chunks of time can pass without us even giving thought to how we live or where. But it’s important to hit the pause button every so often and ask yourself if you are content in your life.

 When it comes to your home, ask yourself if it is still meeting your needs. Is there anything that bothers you daily that you could do something about? Maybe that means updating your dated kitchen or replacing worn-out carpet.

Dear Reader,

When we walk outside our doors this time of year, it’s not uncommon to be spooked by the haunted sights and sounds around our neighbourhood.

Dear Reader,

I hope you had a wonderful summer filled with happy memories and lots of vitamin D. With fall quickly approaching, cooler days begin to creep up on us. As the weather begins to cool, studies have shown our productivity increases, since our bodies don’t need to work as hard to maintain their internal temperature, freeing up our energy to be productive.

Maybe that productivity has you considering a fall reno project. The fall is a good time to scan your home and ask yourself what repairs or replacements are needed before they pile up on each other. Or maybe you have been considering a home improvement that has been on your wish list, like an updated bathroom.

Whether it’s a necessary home maintenance project or more of an improvement…
