The 5 Features to get Excited About at the Ottawa Fall Home Show

The Ottawa Fall Home Show is getting closer and our excitement is mounting! We’ve come together with some amazing features to make this Ottawa Fall Home Show one to remember. From DIYs to awards, here are some of the top features gracing The Ottawa Fall Home Show, September 24 to 27, 2015.

Ultimate Upcycle Challenge: Take a Seat presented by Rust-Oleum in support of

Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region

Do-gooders, take note! We’ve recruited 10 of Ottawa’s top media personalities, designers and tastemakers to turn drab into fab for a cause. Armed with a black box of Rust-Oleum products and a small design budget, each participant will upcycle a pre-loved piece from ReStore into a swoon-worthy seat that’s fit for a second chance at love. Bid on your favourite seat at our silent auction (100% of proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region) and rest easy knowing you’ve made a difference by going green and giving back. It’s design, with a conscience.

You can bid on chairs upcycled by Delaney Holley, Diane Deans, and Lois Lee - among others!

Micro-Loft: Presented by Bonneville Homes

Have you heard about the new renovation trend, micro homes? A home doesn’t always need a thousand square feet of space, lofty rooms and gilded toilets to be considered luxury. New this year, Bonneville Homes will be introducing their HALO micro model loft. Home show visitors are sure to be inspired with big ideas for their small spaces with the help of some incredible home furnishings by Artemano and Direct Buy Ottawa. Permacon and Landscape Ontario will also be providing a landscaped area giving home show visitors the fullest effect.
