The new Sixteen Mile Sports Park near Dundas and Neyagawa includes five fields, a pump track for biking, a skate park, and a splash pad.

Two New Schools in North Oakville North Oakville will also see a number of schools added to the area in the next few years. A new French immersion school is set to open this fall, ranging from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. It will be located near Dundas and Trafalgar and will service the White Oaks area.

This three-storey building will be the first high school in North Oakville and will span 144,000 square feet, with 53 classrooms, 18 portables and capacity for around 1,200 students. The Crosstown Trail & Green Space Plans The New Communities of Oakville Natural Neighbourhoods Map (Source). The North Oakville area is also going to see new paths, trails, and parks.

Located just west of the city of Toronto, the prestigious waterfront neighbourhoods of south Oakville have long had a reputation for their charm and sophistication. Now, North Oakville has become a destination in its own right, with modern shopping and entertainment centres, beautiful green spaces, and more. Starlane Homes is pleased to bring you the next phase of its Ivy Rouge community, a collection of town, semi- and single-family homes coming to Sixth Line and Burnhamthorpe. If you’re thinking of making the move, here are five reasons why North Oakville is a great choice. Exceptional Quality of Life Since 2018, a number of Canadian publications including Moneysense and The Globe & Mail have consistently ranked the city of Oakville among the most livable cities in the province. In 2018, Moneysense’s ranking placed the city at third in Ontario, and in 2023, The Globe ranked it fifth. That score included high rankings for “places to raise a family” and “places to retire.” The methodology used for these rankings varies, but it is worth noting that the city’s growth and rising real estate values actually detracted from their overall score. That means that the city’s thriving businesses scene, influx of new residents, and the strength of investment in new homes actually counted against these exceptional livability scores. A Growing Uptown Core North Oakville’s Uptown Core, located at Dundas St. W. and Trafalgar Rd., is a bustling new urban centre. Planned for pedestrians and cyclists, the area boasts over 50 shops and restaurants. That also includes big box stores like Walmart and Canadian Tire, and an array of personal services, including fitness centres. But the entirety of North Oakville has lots to offer: world-class health services at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, schools including post-secondary institutions like Sheridan College, plus a full range of recreational offerings and community programming. Extensive Natural Spaces The uptown core and surrounding areas are connected by a series of green spaces that include Memorial Park, Windfeld Parkette, and two park ponds. The area is home to dozens more parks and trails. Explore the beautiful green spaces along Sixteen Mile Creek that winds all the way down to the lake. And for golfers, there’s an abundance of options all around including the famous fairways of Glen Abbey. It’s Well Connected North Oakville is well connected to the rest of the city of Oakville and the GTA. At Ivy Rouge, you’ll have seamless access to the local highways including the 407 and the 403, connecting you to Mississauga, Burlington, downtown Toronto, and Pearson International Airport, all in less than an hour. You’re also less than 15 minutes from the Oakville GO station, offering regular train service into the city. Door to door, Union station is less than one hour away. It’s a Safe Investment North Oakville has seen consistent growth in real estate values in recent years. Home values have continued to grow consistently, and demand for new homes remains healthy. Oakville has also attracted a significant amount of interest from buyers from outside the area including a notable percentage of homebuyers from high-demand cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York.

Whether you purchase it at the store or complete a DIY project, you can get one that perfectly complements your home aesthetic. Are you looking for a simple and elegant wreath or a more elaborate and festive one? We have put together a list of our favourite fall wreath trends that will make a great impression on anyone who comes to your front door.  Traditional wreaths: Traditional fall wreaths typically feature classic fall elements such as pumpkins, gourds, cornstalks, and fall leaves to emphasize the natural elements of the season. These wreaths may also include other traditional decor including acorns, pinecones, and berries. If you have bought a townhome in our recently sold-out Hazel Glenn community, a classic wreath will beautifully enhance the brick veneer that is featured around the windows. Modern wreaths: Modern fall wreaths often feature a more minimalist or contemporary design. These wreaths may use unconventional materials, including wire or wood to create simple shapes, like circles or squares. Modern fall wreaths may also incorporate unique elements, such as feathers, antlers, or even lights. Within our Blue Sky community in Stouffville, the 47’ single homes boast antique-style black finish coach lights, a striking and contemporary touch that perfectly complements a modern-style wreath. Artificial wreaths: These wreaths are made from artificial materials, including plastic, silk, foam, and additional supplies. These are a good option if you want a wreath that will last for multiple seasons or if you experience seasonal allergies from natural ingredients. Artificial fall wreaths can be designed in a wide variety of styles and sizes, from traditional to modern. Themed wreaths: Themed fall wreaths are a fun way to add some personality to your front door decor. You can find or create wreaths with themes such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, maybe something that suits your persona. Themed fall wreaths can be made from a variety of different materials, both natural and artificial. If you’ve purchased a semi-detached home in Lotus Pointe, why not enjoy some creativity and collaborate with your neighbor on a themed wreath that can add a delightful touch to both of your front porches? No matter what style of fall wreath you choose for your new home at Starlane Homes, it’s sure to add a touch of warmth and welcome to your front door.

That’s why, to celebrate the last warm days of summer and to ring in the colours of the fall, we’ve put together a list of the most picturesque walking trails and conservation areas near some of our communities. Even if you don’t live nearby, they’re worth the trip. Belfountain Conservation Area Belfountain Conservation Area trail is a tranquil conservation area nestled within Caledon. This natural gem offers visitors a serene escape into lush woodlands and scenic landscapes. The main attraction is the Belfountain Falls, a cascading waterfall you can view from the nearby suspension bridge. Scarborough Bluffs The Scarborough Bluffs are a stunning outlook on the shores of Lake Ontario. These cliffs are carved by the forces of wind and water erosion over thousands of years, creating breathtaking views of the city. Cambridge To Paris Trail The Cambridge to Paris Trail is an old railway line turned multi-use trail that follows the Grand River, connecting the vibrant city of Cambridge to the charming town of Paris. The trail is paved over levelled ground, so hikers and bikers can glide through easily. Dundas Peak Trail The Dundas Peak Trail is a well-maintained path through the Spencer Gorge Conservation Area in the Hamilton region. After passing through forests and rocky terrain, the highlight of the trail is the picturesque Dundas Peak, an incredible view that overlooks the Niagara Escarpment, valleys, and Spencer Creek. This spot is especially popular during the fall season for its colourful foliage. Heart Lake Conservation Area The Heart Lake Conservation Area is a natural preserve in Brampton. It gets its name from the heart-shaped lake in the centre surrounded by lush woodlands, rolling hills and scenic trails. The park offers a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking and picnicking to fishing and swimming, along with Tree Top Trekking.

You crank the heat to combat the cold, leave the lights and electronics on longer, and end up using more water. If you’re aiming to save a bit on your bills this season without sacrificing your comfort, here’s what you can do. Wash your clothes in cold water An estimated 75-90% of all the energy your washing machine uses goes to warming up the water. So, cold-water washing will not only lower your bills, but is actually better for reducing wrinkles, maintaining colours, and is gentler on most fabrics. Only run the dishwasher when it’s full Unless you’re leaving your home for a while, you can probably wait until the dishwasher is full before running a cycle. If it’s available, try the air-dry no-heat option or the energy-saving cycle to reduce the overall energy use. Most dishwashers also have a delay feature, which allows you to schedule the cycle to start later at night, when energy costs are lower. Don’t block your air vents When arranging furniture and décor around your home, be aware of the vent locations and air flow. Keeping these clear can ensure that air and heat is circulating efficiently in every room, therefore preventing the need to turn up the heat and overwork your system. Unplug unused appliances While it’s much easier to just leave everything plugged in around the house, as much as 10% of your regular energy usage might be seeping into these plugged-in appliances — even when you aren’t using them. Keeping even a few of your electronics or appliances unplugged can cut down on this phantom energy use and bring your bills down. Open and close your drapes strategically Letting sun in through the windows during the day can naturally bring some heat into your home, which should keep the temperature comfortable throughout the day without turning up the heating system. Additionally, closing blinds or curtains at night will prevent cool drafts and slow heat loss through the glass. If your home is older you may also experience higher utility bills due to poor circulation, lack of insulation, and drafty windows and doors. With a new home built by a trusted home builder, you can have peace of mind in knowing that it is built with high-quality material and all-new appliances that’ll help optimize your water and energy consumption.

On top of understanding your savings and budget limitations, this process can also help you prepare before applying for a mortgage. Before sitting down with a real estate agent or a mortgage lender, check your credit. Your credit score will determine whether you’ll qualify for a mortgage and affect the interest rate that lenders will offer. You can get a free copy of your credit report from certain credit bureaus, as well as some online banking apps. To help strengthen your credit, pay off all your bills and keep your credit card balances as low as possible. In addition to making sure your credit score is in shape, you will also need to consider the savings you’ll need on-hand for a down payment. You should plan to put down at least 20% of the full purchase price, which can seem very difficult at first, but making small changes in several aspects of your lifestyle can really help. You’ll need to prioritize and potentially cut back on things like expensive vacations, the latest technology, or eating out frequently. When putting money away, consider placing it in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) where you won’t have to pay income tax on it as it grows. Once you’ve established your credit and put enough money away for a down payment, you can shop around for mortgage rates and obtain a pre-approval. Obtaining a mortgage pre-approval not only gives you a set budget, but it makes you a more attractive buyer and may allow you to close faster. When you begin to browse for a home, consider choosing Starlane. We have years of experience building master-planned communities in prime locations.

While this is great for spending time with family and friends or indulging in self-care, it can also give you the time you need to tackle some major home to-dos. If you find yourself with some downtime this holiday break, here are some tasks that you can finally check off your to-do list. Clean out the kitchen and pantry Dig deep in your cupboards and fridge and discard all the expired perishables. Consider donating any non-perishables that you aren’t going to use. While you’re sorting your goods, don’t forget to clean around the fridge drawers and wipe down your shelves as well. Purge your holiday decorations What better time to sort through your holiday decorations than when you are putting them away for the year? Sure, most of the new or sentimental decorations should stay, but there also may be some old, tangled string lights that you could probably let go of. Save yourself the time and space next year and throw away or donate the items you no longer need. Organize your coat closet The coat closet can become a real mess during the winter, so it’s good to periodically take the time to organize it. Try to keep it filled with only the coats that are worn regularly during the colder months and store your occasional or warmer weather coats elsewhere. Keep gloves, hats, and scarves organized together in bins or shelves. Put a shoe rack in your closet with a rubber mat underneath to keep all of the wet boots stored away. Clear out your bathroom products Depending on how many people share a bathroom in your home, this may or may not be a big task. Either way, it’s good to go through your cupboards and look for any products and toiletries that aren’t being used or could be expired. Throw away any empty bottles or soaps taking up space in your shower, as well. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Holiday Season.

As we look back on 2021, we’re proud of all we have accomplished in this uncertain time. Starlane Homes successfully sold out two communities: Mountainview Heights Phase Four and Cityside Phase Two, which would not have been possible without our incredible team.

This community featured a stunning collection of townhomes and semi-detached homes with spacious floorplans and expertly crafted architectural features. Mountainview Heights offered convenience, tranquility, and the gorgeous natural landscape of the Niagara Escarpment. Cityside in Stouffville sold out its second phase. It featured a collection of beautifully designed 40’ single-detached homes located on the cusp of Stouffville’s downtown core, combining small-town charm with convenient urban amenities.

Starlane Homes is excited to introduce the newest installment of Blue Sky, a community of 36’, 40’ and 47’ single-detached homes coming soon to Ninth Line and Bethesda Side Road in Stouffville. With the convenience of living in a larger metropolitan area combined with the simplicity and serenity of a small town, it’s no wonder that Stouffville has been listed in the top 100 Greater Toronto Area neighbourhoods to buy real estate in in 2020. So, why is Blue Sky in Stouffville such a great place to live? Proximity Only about 45-minutes outside of Toronto, Stouffville offers access to the amenities of nearby communities such as Markham, Uxbridge, Richmond Hill, Aurora, and Newmarket. Highways 404, 407, 48 and 7 are only a short drive away, and when you don’t have to worry about the congestion and traffic that come with bigger cities, commuting is a breeze. The Lincolnville GO Station is only 5 minutes away, which can get you to Toronto’s Union Station in under an hour. Entertainment Lined with popular restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops, Stouffville’s Main Street strip is becoming an increasingly popular destination for those in search of fun and entertainment. Local favourites like The Zen Stouffville, The Smokery Kitchen & Bar, The King’s Landing Bar & Grill, and Cornerhouse Restaurant are all sure to provide a great night out on the town, while Red Bulb Espresso Bar, Main Street Bakehouse, and Coffee Tea Express will help you get the day started.

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 08:00:00 -0400 Real Estate/Home Builders/New Homes https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/blue-sky-is-on-the-horizon/ https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/how-to-make-good-use-of-your-time-in-self-isolation/ If you’re starting to feel a little stir-crazy during self-isolation, worry not! We have put together a list of some of the best ways to make use of the extra time on your hands while still adhering to the guidelines set out by the government. Take the time to declutter Did you take part in the KonMarie Method craze that stormed the nation last year? Were you devoted to decluttering and only holding on to items that brought you joy? Whether your answer was yes or no, there’s never been a better time to jump on the band wagon and clear the extra clutter out of your home. Spending more time at home will help you notice the things that are just taking up space and never get used. Use this time to pack those items away until you can donate them to a local charity shop once things go back to normal. Organize the pantry For many of us, the pantry is what could be called “an organized mess”. We know where everything is because everything has its place, but if someone else were to try and find something in there, they’d be stuck searching for quite some time. A great way to use your extra time right now is organizing the pantry. Put the things you use most often on the shelves that are easiest to access. Group things together by type – cans, spices, baking ingredients, etc. You know that spice you had never heard of that you bought because you needed it for a new recipe, but you haven’t used it since? Time for it to go, along with items past their expiry date. Next time you’re on the hunt for something specific in the pantry, you’ll be happy you took the time to sort through it. Do a deep clean of the house Cleanliness has been on the forefront of everyone’s minds for the past few weeks. If you’re home and have time to kill, it’s time to do a deep-clean of the house. After you’ve done some decluttering and organizing, tackle the bigger areas and surfaces, followed by hard to reach places: walls, floors, and doors followed by ceilings and ceiling trim, light fixtures and baseboards. Next, do a thorough cleaning of all your windows (including sills and tracks), and then dust and wipe down all of the surfaces throughout your home such as tables and counters. It may seem like a big undertaking, but the result is worth it. Reach out to old friends When was the last time you sat down and called up your old friends from back in the day? Life is busy, and it can be hard to find the time to check-in on people we don’t get to see often. Picking up the phone and checking up on people in your life is a great way to help you feel more connected to the outside world during self-isolation, and also shows them that you’re there and care during this difficult time. Learn a new skill New skills are time consuming to learn, but can be incredibly fulfilling. Whether its baking, painting, playing an instrument or even speaking a new language, taking the time to learn a new skill will leave you feeling proud and accomplished when this self-isolation period is over. There is an array of online resources that you can use to learn new skills, such as Masterclass, Skillshare and even videos on YouTube. Learn some new recipes Many of us are guilty of remaking the same recipes over and over again. Now that we have a little extra time on our hands, we can use the opportunity to refresh our repertoire by learning some new and exciting recipes. Use websites such as Pinterest, AllRecipes, Epicurious and more to help you find some fresh ideas to put on the table to impress your family and your tastebuds. Cross some things off of your “meaning to” list All of us have a “meaning to” list. Whether its movies you’ve been meaning to watch, books you’ve been meaning to read, or junk drawers you’ve been meaning to organize, now is the perfect time to start crossing names off the list. If you’re one of the rare folks that doesn’t have a “meaning to” list, make one! Think of some things you’ve always sort of wanted to try and use this time to give them a shot. Get outside It can be hard to find the time to get outside when your routine has a careful balance or running the household and having a career. Now that spring has arrived and the weather is warming up, it is a great time to get outside and get some fresh air. As long as you’re within the rules and regulations set out by the government regarding best practices during COVID-19, it’s the perfect chance to make up for all the months we spend cooped up inside during the winter. Spend the day in the backyard or on the balcony and soak up some much-needed vitamin D. To read the most up to date rules and regulations, visit the following link: https://www.blogto.com/city/2020/04/social-distancing-rules-toronto-ontario/ Take the opportunity to practice self-care We’re all guilty of putting off self-care rituals because we don’t have enough time. If we take the optimistic approach and look at our current situation like the glass is half-full, it’s possible to see this as an opportunity to focus on our self-care. What that means is different for everyone, but whatever self-care looks like for you, try and use the extra time you have right now to implement a little more of it in your daily routine. This is a stressful time, but it is important that we do our best to stay positive! We can’t wait to get back to our everyday routines, but for now, we will continue to make the most of our time.

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 10:59:00 -0500 Real Estate/Home Builders/New Homes https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/new-release-of-single-family-detached-homes-at-cityside-in-stouffville/ https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/low-waste-tips-to-make-a-big-impact-this-holiday-season/ Since the opening of Ivy Rouge, one of Canada’s first bottle-free new home communities, we here at Starlane have been putting lots of careful thought and consideration into simple ways to be more environmentally friendly. With the holidays quickly approaching, we thought it would be a great time to offer some simple tips to help keep sustainability in mind this season. From gifts to food to decorations, we are here to help you make low-waste decisions that will have a big impact. Décor 1. One of the most sustainable ways to reduce your environmental impact is by using what you already have. This is the case with almost all things, but especially with holiday decorations! Take time to sort through the decorations you already own, or find ways to repurpose other items to be decorations. 2. DIY décor is a fun way to express your creativity while being conscious of the amount of waste you produce. Use old magazines, pieces of fabric, glass jars, tin cans, and whatever else you can get your hands on to make one-of-a-kind creations that can help bring festive spirit into your home. You can even make a family-activity out of it by scavenging for rocks, pine cones, shells and plants to include in your decorations. Use all of your thrifty materials to make things like wall hangings, ornaments, tablescapes and more. 3. Confetti and glitter are made from micro plastics that can find their way into our water systems when we wash them away. Using environmentally friendly glitter alternatives like bio-glitter is a great way to decorate without worrying about all of the side-effects that can come with traditional glitter. For eco-conscious confetti, create your own by using a hole puncher on dried leaves or flower petals. 4. Being aware of the packaging materials on certain items is a simple way to reduce the amount of plastic you put into the waste cycle. When possible, buy candles in glass jars rather than plastic containers. Glass is easier to recycle and can be repurposed for other things after your candles are done. 5. Gift wrapping can create quite a lot of waste. Most wrapping paper isn’t recyclable and the heaps of tape and ribbons that we use almost always end up in the garbage. Using low-impact gift wrapping is a great way to unleash your creativity and make a difference in the amount of post-holiday waste your home puts out. Wrap gifts with easy-to-recycle brown paper decorated with drawings or stamps, use paper washi tape instead of regular tape, and decorate parcels with natural string, pinecones and sprigs of herbs or pine instead of ribbons and bows. Gifts 1. Get thrifty with your gift purchases and try your hand at shopping second-hand! This is especially great for if you want to make someone a gift basket or know they are a lover of books! 2. Give the gift of sustainability with zero-waste products like travel mugs, reusable water bottles, silicone zipper-lock bags, stainless steel straws, and other fantastic low-waste alternatives. 3. Take the time to really think through your gift purchases for your loved ones so that you get them something you know they will make use of. The longer a gift stays out of the garbage, the better it is for the environment. Thoughtful gifts are more likely to get used than filler gifts that someone may have no real use for. 4. Food and drinks are some of the best gifts you can give someone. Whether you purchase or make something yourself, giving someone the gift of a delicious meal or treat is a sure way to make sure that your gift gets used (or in this case, eaten!). 5. Get crafty with DIY gifts made from items you can find at your local bulk store. For example, make bath salts scented with essential oils and dried flower petals or jars full of the best sweets and treats. 6. Plants, seeds and terrariums are wonderful gifts that bring colour and life into any home. But, remember to be mindful of the amount of light in the recipient’s home when choosing which kind of plant you would like to gift them. 7. A memorable experience is one of the best things you can gift someone. A cooking class together, tickets to a show, a weekend away or even a custom staycation will be fondly remembered by your loved one for years to come. Food 1. Do as much shopping as you can in bulk stores to help reduce the amount of food packaging you have to throw away. Most bulk stores will even allow you to bring your own reusable container to fill up and will weigh it before you put anything in it so that you only pay for what you put inside. 2. Show off your skills as a kitchen wizard and make as much food as you can from scratch. Not only will this save you money and give you a chance to use bulk store ingredients instead of pre-packaged food, but cooking can also be a great family bonding activity if you get everyone involved. Food made from scratch is also often better for you! 3. Freeze produce that doesn’t get used for holiday dinners and use it at a later date. Leftover vegetables can be used in soup, chilli or sauces and fruit is great for smoothies! Every home at Ivy Rouge comes with a state-of-the-art BWT Woda-Pure water filtration system.

The leaves are changing, temperatures are cooling and the days are starting to feel shorter and shorter. As we move forward through the season, the kitchen is one of our best resources for dialing up on the festive fun and keeping spirits high. With thanksgiving on our minds, cooking warm, comforting food together is a great time for family bonding and it will help fill your home with a delicious, irresistible aroma. Here at Starlane, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite harvest fall recipes for you and your family to try this season. Spiced Apple Pancakes Photo Credit: Park Feierbach One of the first signs of fall approaching is apple picking season! Orchards generally open to the public for this wonderful activity at the end of the summer leading right through into fall. The best part of a family outing to the apple-orchard is coming home with freshly picked fruits and using them to make something delicious, like this Spiced Apple Pancake recipe by Lena Abraham. These sweet and sticky pancakes don’t even need maple syrup. Breakfast for dessert, anyone? Apple Cider Doughnuts Photo Credit: Alex Lau If a trip to the orchard isn’t up your alley but you still crave the sweet, autumn taste of fresh apples, stop by your local farmers market for a jug of apple cider and give these Apple Cider Doughnuts a shot! This recipe by Rick Martinez will leave you with more than a dozen crunchy-on-the-outside and tender-on-the-inside doughnuts that are sure to make your whole family’s mouths water. Tossed in cinnamon sugar, these will be a highly requested dessert staple at thanksgiving dinner for years to come. Savoury Spiced Pumpkin Soup Photo Credit: Brian Woodcock This recipe, brought to you by Kate Merker and Anna Helm Baxter, makes fantastic use of the key-components of fall cooking: pumpkin and spices. Their savoury pumpkin soup recipe makes a great starter at family dinners and a wonderful, warming lunch option for those chilly days. Festive and flavourful, the creators of this recipe describe it as “comfort in a bowl” and we couldn’t agree more. Butternut Squash Cornbread Photo Credit: Kelly Kwok Cornbread is a go-to for many families at thanksgiving. It is dense, comforting, can be enjoyed sweet or savory, and remains soft and fresh for up to two days after being made. Butternut squash is a great seasonal vegetable, jam packed with vitamins and minerals to benefit the whole family. This recipe by Kelly Kwok can be made in a slow-cooker, making it a perfect option for potluck gatherings all throughout the fall season. Winter Squash and Lentil Stew Photo Credit: Mike Garten The team in the test kitchen over at goodhousekeeping.com have really outdone themselves with this hearty squash and lentil stew recipe. Sweet butternut squash blends perfectly with savory lentils to create a filling stew that is guaranteed to warm hands and hearts. Ginger and coriander lend to a fresh flavor and scent that will fill the house as soon as you open your pressure cooker. Pumpkin Spice Latte Coffee Cake Photo Credit: Krista Rollins Krista Rollins over at joyfulhealthyeats.com has taken the favourite drink of autumn-lovers nationwide and made it into a vegan, gluten free, low-carb, kid friendly super dessert – a pumpkin spice latte coffee cake. If pumpkin pie, coffee cake, and pumpkin spice lattes came together into one, supreme dessert, this would be it. Best served with a nice, hot cup of coffee, this will definitely be a recipe you return to every fall. For many people, the cooler temperatures of autumn present a great opportunity to celebrate the harvest and discover new comfort foods. With some fantastic recipes, festive spirit and quality time with your family in the home you love, you’ll find yourself feeling even more optimistic about fall. Here at Starlane Homes, our goal is to build the perfect home for you and your family to fill with love, festivities, and memories.

With a few minor shifts and a couple of interior styling tips, you can change the overall mood of a room with ease. Redecorating a room can be fun just by trying these simple inexpensive ways that can switch things up, breathe new life into a room without having to spend an exorbitant amount money on new pieces. We’ve compiled a list of some of the easiest ways to get creative with what you already have to satisfy that urge in shaking things up. See if pieces will look better in other rooms You would be surprised by the number of things you already own that could just be moved from one space into another to give each room some new character. The rug that you have in your bedroom might work just as beautifully in your living room, and give it new charm. Perhaps the artwork in your dining room will work better in your foyer and vice versa! It is easy to become attached to the idea of specific pieces belonging in specific rooms, but you’ll be so pleased with the result when you break away from those ideas and do things a little differently. When you move things around, you’ll see it all with fresh eyes. We often tend to overlook objects that have been in the same place for a long time. Rearrange your Furniture Sometimes when your furniture has been in the same spot for a long time, it can start to feel like it’s time for it to go. But before you ditch a classic piece, try giving it new life by simply moving it to another wall or in front of a window. Split your sectional up, put your couch against a different wall, move a table to another corner or face your bed in a different direction. With easy little shifts you can change the entire flow of a room to give it a fresh and revitalized feeling. If you’re worried that things won’t fit or you know for sure that things only work in one arrangement, try updating or rearranging your accessories instead as mentioned in the first section. Dress The Perimeter The perimeter of a room can make a huge difference in the overall look and feel of the space. The walls, floors, ceilings and corners should always be taken into consideration when you’re looking at a room as a whole. Consider adding or rearranging pictures, frames, mirrors, rugs, and lighting fixtures to give a room a new flair. Empty wall space can make a room feel flat or bleak, so look around to see if you have anything around the house that can shake things up. You also don’t need to match everything so try to introduce something vibrant in a monochromatic colour scheme. Go Green One of the easiest ways to add new life to a room is by bringing a real living thing into that room, like a plant! It is scientifically proven that being close to nature (a living plant in this case) can have a direct effect on and improve your mood. Buying indoor plants is not free, but it is inexpensive and a great way to add colour and life into a room. Introducing greenery can make a big difference in changing the mood and the air in any room. Declutter It’s very easy to accumulate things over the years. People give you gifts and before you know it you have a house full of things that get stowed away in a closet, never to see the light of day. Although it’s difficult to part with some things, decluttering can breathe a breath of fresh air into just about any space. Simplicity is the key to elegance, so get rid of things that don’t serve you and only hang on to the things you truly love. If the decluttering you need to do is more so in the way of shelves, tables and other things in that realm, try implementing spacing things further apart or using the rule of 3! Arranging things into groups of 3 makes them look carefully curated rather than strewn together all over the place. These are some of the many simple changes you can make around the house that can improve the overall atmosphere significantly and inexpensively. Don’t be afraid to move things around and see what a difference it can make. And of course, do move out summer related décor and prepare for the cooler months ahead. Have a cozy blanket or throw you need to take out? For more tips and tricks on decluttering, check out the book and method that have taken the world by storm: “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing” by Marie Kondo Mon, 12 Aug 2019 14:47:00 -0400 Real Estate/Home Builders/New Homes https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/5-ways-to-spruce-up-your-home/ https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/the-latest-in-patio-decor-trends-for-the-summer/ Your patio and backyard are an extension of your new or existing home. In addition to having a beautiful garden landscape, a well-designed outdoor living space of any size will help to elevate your home. Whether you’re barbequing with your family or enjoying a day in the sun with friends, these fun and functional patio décor trends are sure to impress. Custom Built-In Furniture There are a number of benefits to using your décor budget towards a unique built-in furniture set up. The customizability of built-in furniture means that you are able to perfectly fit your furniture to your space. This can help achieve the look that you are going for while also serving the purpose you need it to. For example, a built-in bench seat could double as a flower box on the back, house solar powered lighting fixtures, or have additional storage underneath the seat. Not only can built-in furniture help to increase resale value, but it also means that everything is secure and you don’t have to worry about storing anything during the winter months. Classic Pergola or Modern Pagoda A classic pergola is a focal point that helps to bring a Mediterranean-inspired coolness to any patio. Beams and lattice on a classic-style pergola allow for vines to grow and wrap around it while protecting you and your furniture from the sun’s rays. If the classic style isn’t for you, consider opting for a more modern glass pagoda. While it may not protect you from the sun, the weatherproof glass will protect you and your patio from rain, leaves and any other debris. Both options make the perfect setting for dining al fresco. Full Outdoor Kitchens Incorporating a range of appliances and workspaces into your outdoor space will not only increase the amount of time you are able to spend outside during the summer, but create possibilities in ways in which you are able to use the space. A custom-built unit will be worth the work and cost as it will not only increase the resale value of your home, it will optimize the space and make entertaining considerably more convenient. Water Feature In Canada, our patios are primarily used during the summer months. A water feature helps not only to add a luxurious touch to any space, but also works to elevate the summertime feeling that a water element gives you. It’s soothing and relaxing. A water feature can be bold or understated, and by choosing the right materials, can fit the overall aesthetic of any yard. Use modern materials and neutral colours for a minimalistic or chic look, or play with colours and textures to add character and personality. Cozy Custom Firepits There’s nothing quite like a fire on a summer night, which is why custom firepits are becoming so popular. Roasting marshmallows while you chat with friends is a great way to spend an evening, but stone firepits are as beautiful as they are functional. They’re also a patio feature that can be used well past the summer months — just bundle up, hook up a set of outdoor speakers and sit by the fire to enjoy a lovely autumn afternoon. The are many options so look for the one that best suits your décor and space. A great outdoor space is a must, whether you’re enjoying a book while lounging in the sun or entertaining friends and family. With these patio décor ideas, you’ll have no trouble bringing your home to the next level and making the most of what your patio and backyard have to offer.

The ups and downs prompted BILD (Building Industry and Land Development Association) to launch an advertising campaign to help alleviate some concerns and give people answers about buying new homes in the GTA. If you’ve listened to the radio, seen signage/billboards in Toronto or browsed through Social Media, you’ve probably heard questions, or seen them on a splash of green, asking things like “Will I be able to afford a home in the GTA?” or “How does the economy benefit from new housing?” Over 24 questions have been asked, and answered at https://buildinganswers.ca, a website developed to measure interest and provide more details after the ads generate initial interest. In its first week, the campaign was said to generate over 31 million media impressions. Of course, the campaign doesn’t just apply to Toronto. Anyone considering purchasing a new home in Waterdown, Caledon, Milton, Oakville, Stouffville or anywhere else beyond the GTA may be interested in visiting the above website. Starlane, we are proud members of BILD and we’re proud to support BILD’s initiative to educate consumers and answer questions.

Plants are often overlooked but may very well be one of the most important, useful and beautiful additions of all décor accents.

Plants are also known to have a positive effect on your mental state. They can heighten your mood and increase concentration and productivity. Here is a list of some plants that will be great additions to your home: English Ivy - It‘s a good idea to keep several of these indoors as they cleanse the air of a wide range of toxins.

On the contrary, the right texture design of wallpaper can enhance the look and feel of any room, giving it a unique flare that just can’t be found by using paint. Keep reading to be pleasantly surprised by some amazingly chic and modern wallpaper designs making a comeback in 2019. Depending on the look you are going for, there is a great selection of styles to choose from. Bold and bright, to muted and modern, and even textured, the possibilities are endless! 1. Mural Mural wallpaper can totally transform your space. Whether you’re an adventure-seeker or need a relaxing sanctuary, murals are a unique way to bring the outdoors, indoors. You want to choose a scene/design that doesn’t clash with other colours in the room and most importantly, inspires you! 2. Geometric Geometric wallpaper brings a sense of order and organization to a room. Using it in small spaces like a powder room or narrow entrance way can enhance these small spaces and also add a touch of sophistication when used as an accent wall in your bedroom. Fans of unique and eye-catching décor may want to try to highlight the ceiling by covering it with trendy wallpaper. 3. Abstract Promoting originality and individuality, abstract wallpaper fits into the “textured” category because of its detailed design. Abstract designs feature shapes and obscure imagery rather than an identifiable picture, creating a sense of depth and adding dimension to your room. 4. Metallic More durable than the average wallpaper, metallic print stays beautiful much longer. Its modern, elegant look is ideal for formal spaces like dining rooms and foyers, yet flexible enough to work in just about any space! The striking nature of metallic wallpaper means less is more, use it sparingly, choosing a design that isn’t overpowering. 5. Oversized Florals Although it may seem slightly outdated to be talking about floral wallpaper, finding just the right oversized floral print can work wonders in a small space, like a bathroom. Placing it on only one wall will bring beautiful detail into the room, while not overdoing it. Floral print is also a great option to feminize a room, a sunroom or reading room. Make 2019 the year of transformation by stepping out of your comfort zone and experimenting with one, or all, of these wallpaper ideas and join us in bringing wallpaper back! Starlane is passionate about everything to do with homes. We pride ourselves on providing the best quality living spaces when it comes to everything from building to décor!

These changes will come into effect on January 1, 2018. How does this affect recent purchasers? If you have recently purchased from us, these new rules don’t affect you at all. All purchasers of homes with a long-term builder capped mortgage, approved on or before December 31, 2017 will have their mortgage remain valid even if the closing is after January 1, 2018. We recommend that if you haven’t already, you should contact your Bank Specialist/Site Mortgage Representative as soon as possible to get your mortgage approved well before December 31, 2017. This will protect you by keeping the terms of your mortgage approval valid until your closing. What happens in 2018? Transactions taking place after January 1st, however, will be subject to the tougher rules. What are some of the major aspects of these new rules? Everyone is subject to a stress test Previously, purchasers providing 20% or higher as a down payment were not asked to pass a stress test – only those seeking insured mortgages with less than 20% down were subject to them. Now, no matter what the down payment, purchasers will be subject to the stress test. Not passing this test means no approval. What is the stress test? The test simply determines whether or not a buyer could still afford to make payments if mortgage rates were to rise to the Bank of Canada’s posted 5-year fixed rate. This rate is usually about 2% higher than what buyers negotiate for their actual mortgage, so this adds a layer of difficulty and lowers the potential amount most can borrow. The test also requires that a buyer’s mortgage payments, taxes, utilities, etc… total no more than 39% of their monthly household income. What about mortgage insurance? As of November 30th, 2017, mortgage insurance will also follow stricter guidelines. To qualify for low-ratio insurance: • the mortgage’s amortization period must be 25 years or less • The purchase price of the home must be less than $1 million • The home must be lived in by the owner • The purchaser must have a credit score of 600 or higher Does this mean I should buy a new home now? We recommend you should take advantage of the remaining weeks in 2017 and find your perfect home. Clearly, financing will be easier to obtain now than in 2018. And due to limited supply, prices are not expected to drop. Starlane has a great selection of Semis and Singles at Mountainview Heights in Waterdown and only FIVE 40-foot singles remain at Saddle Ridge in Milton. And of course, your five-star builder provides incredible value and quality in every home. Browse through our available new homes now and see if you can find your dream home before the stringent new rules come into effect. Fri, 17 Nov 2017 11:09:00 -0500 Real Estate/Home Builders/New Homes https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-2018-mortgage-rules/ https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/4-ways-to-prep-your-lawn-for-the-fall/ Summer is coming to an end, but that does not mean you can stop caring for your lawn just yet! Now is actually the most important time to ensure you keep your landscaping in check. The dropping temperatures have a huge effect on yard appearance once the spring comes around, which is why managing it in the fall keeps the grass alive and healthy during the colder months. Begin the preparation by following these 4 tips: 1. Continue to Water the Grass Contrary to belief, summer is not the only time to water your grass. You should continue to do so until the ground freezes. Once a layer of ice covers your lawn, no nutrients are being absorbed into the grass which is why you want to properly hydrate it prior to this so that during the period of deprivation, your grass still has enough nutrients to remain healthy. 2. Rake the Leaves A good sign that fall is under-way is by taking a look outside and seeing all the leaves from the trees on the ground. Although this may be a very picturesque view, you want to eliminate any blockage and debris that covers and prevents the lawn from obtaining its nutrients. 3. Aerate Lawn By raking your leaves and removing any weeds from your lawn you are exposing the grass to air, which gives the lawn nutrients and water to grow healthy. 4. Mow Shorter than Usual There is nothing more annoying than having to cut your lawn every few weeks, but luckily grass grows slower in the fall and you do not have to worry about trimming it as often. However, to avoid mowing your lawn in the cold altogether, cut the grass shorter than usual and by the time spring comes around you can give your lawn a nice makeover. Enjoy some time outside and make a day of cleaning your lawn, and although you might be dreading the idea of doing work, just imagine how beautiful your lawn will look next summer. Starlane currently has several communities coming soon. For more information on about new homes in Waterdown and Caledon, visit our website or register today. Thu, 14 Sep 2017 09:30:00 -0400 Real Estate/Home Builders/New Homes https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/4-ways-to-prep-your-lawn-for-the-fall/ https://starlanehomecorp.ca/news/the-baby-breakdown-how-to-decorate-a-nursery/ When you bring a new baby into the home, a lot of unexpected changes will arise throughout this exciting chapter in your life, but that does not mean you have to stress about the little things (literally and metaphorically). Decorating the nursery should be a top priority when welcoming the new addition to your home because most of your time will be spent in this room. However, we can help make it a little easier with some decorating tips and ideas. 1) Put a name on it! Choosing your baby’s name is probably the most important decision you will make during this new journey, so why not display it in the room for everyone to see? Writing your baby’s name on the wall customizes the room creating a gorgeous aesthetic. It is definitely the ideal accent piece. 2) The crib dilemma Deciding on a crib for your baby’s nursery can be difficult and overwhelming because there are plenty of options to choose from. A more affordable option are the Venetian convertible cribs that come in an assortment of colours and sizes. Another option is to give the room a true “at-home” feel by building your own wooden crib and painting it any colour you would like! 3) A seat for you too! Take into consideration that you will be spending long nights and early mornings in the nursery, so your comfort is equally as important when making the décor arrangements. We recommend picking an oversized couch chair and opt for the matching foot rest. You may also want to select a nursery chair, specifically made to rock bath and forth. This will keep you relaxed and ensure your baby stays calm. 4) Storage spaces Before you know it, you will have stacks of baby accessories and necessities like clothes, toys and diapers with no space to store it all. That is why purchasing dressers and night stands are a must when decorating. Get creative with your storage solutions and transform your closet into a walk-in baby store by putting shelves or a built-in changing table. If you follow all these tips, decorating your nursery is guaranteed to be much easier! With your own personal touch, this will definitely be your favourite room in the house.

If you have junk laying around that you never use, then it is best to get rid of it; out of sight out of mind. However, there are essentials items we need but have nowhere to put, and we have the solution for you! Staying organized helps make your home appear nicer and not to mention, it will be a lot safer to walk around without tripping over excess clutter. The best way to store something without getting rid of it is to disguise it. Check out these cool DIY storage solutions to de-clutter your home space: 1. Wall Shelves Wall shelves are a great way to organize while simultaneously adding aesthetic to your home by making an empty wall the focal point of the room. Anything can go on top of the shelves including picture frames, plants and books. It is a quick fix to your clutter problems. Installing shelves in your bathroom is also a great way to store towels and cleaning supplies. For an edgier look, create shelves in different shapes and sizes to complement your home. 2. Basket Case Everybody loves a good gift basket filled with yummy foods and supplies. This time, instead of throwing the baskets in the closet, use them to safely store blankets or loose items around your house. Baskets can be easily stored away under cupboards and desks to avoid hazard. 3. The Travel Trunk Do you have an old rustic trunk hiding away in your basement? Pull it out because vintage is back in style and is perfect for home décor. Disguise the clutter by filling your trunk and using it as a night stand or placing it at the foot of your bed. 4. Create a Pegboard This is a board with patterned holes for pegs, using them to hang stuff that you would like to be easily accessible. Label each item for a more organized system, that way you are not searching through drawers to find what you need. Do not consider these as temporary solutions, this is a lifestyle change for a better living experience. If you keep up with these tips to stay organized, you will improve your living quality permanently! Starlane is offering new homes in Milton, Waterdown and Caledon.

This means it’s time to start winterizing the home to feature some cozy and seasonal décor. First off, adding soft fabrics around the home is an easy way of adding warmth within your home. The inside of your home should radiate an immediate feeling of coziness, especially after coming in from the cold outdoors. This can be easily produced with fuzzy blankets and soft throws in different rooms. Next, natural accents around the home give off a very “winteresque” feeling, without having to escape the warmth of your home. This could be done with wood décor, winter flowers and leaves, or pinecones. Another easy way to decorate for the winter season is to add candles around the home. This adds a feeling of extra warmth and can make your house smell like any fresh winter scent of your choice! There are so many easy ways to get your home ready for the upcoming winter season, so have fun with it! For information about new homes in the GTA, make sure to register now with Starlane!

For Homeowners: Turn on outdoor lights, and replace burnt-out bulbs. Remove items from your yard or porch that might trip a child. Sweep wet leaves from your steps and driveway. Use alternative to candles in your pumpkins, such as a flashlight or a battery-operated candle. Remember that some children have food allergies. Consider giving treats other than candy, such as stickers, erasers or a yo-yo. For Homeowners: Do not use masks. Masks make it hard for children to see what’s around them, including cars. Try a hypoallergenic (less likely to cause an allergic reaction), non-toxic make-up kit instead. Make or buy costumes in light-coloured material. Place strips of reflective tape on the back and front of costumes, so that drivers can better see your child. Costumes should fit properly to prevent trips and falls. Avoid items such as oversized shoes, high heels, long dresses and long capes. Dress your child for the weather. Add layers if needed. Put your child’s name, address and phone number on his costume. Children under 10 should be accompanied by an adult for trick or treating. By the age of 10, some children are ready to go trick-or-treating with a group of friends.  Keep in mind that gum and hard candy can pose a choking risk for young children. Remove make-up before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation.
