New kitchen or fresh paint? With some simple preparation, a little paint and a free weekend, you can transform the look and feel of your kitchen in just a couple of days. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started.
Prep the area
Empty your cabinets and remove the doors by unscrewing the hinges and pulling the doors away from the units. Wipe the surfaces clean with a damp cloth.

Pick the right paint
An on-trend gloss or semi-gloss paint is…

The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, today announced a suite of reforms to mortgage rules to make mortgages more affordable for Canadians and put homeownership within reach:

1. Neutralize the palette.

Consider repainting walls in shades of beige, grey, or off-white. These hues will appeal to a broader range of buyers and allow them to visualize their own décor in the space. These colours will also make the room look bigger.

2. Strategic Furniture Placement.

Position furniture away from walls, if possible, to create a cozy, conversational setting. Keep pathways clear to ensure easy movement and make the…
