Quick Fixes for Your Home

The holidays are officially over, and with the promise of a new year comes the ever-dreaded holiday credit card bill. Spending remorse aside, your 2016 home improvement plans don’t have to go on the back burner. Think easy, more affordable home updates that come with a huge impact, thanks to four of more than 125 Winnipeg Renovation Show exhibitors, appearing at the RBC Convention Centre from January 15-17, 2016. New year, new home? It will look that way, but the secret stays between us.

Change of Blinds - With the capabilities to block out light, noise, heat and cold, window coverings are like a stylish climate control for your interior. Beyond their functional appeal, they also dramatically change the look of any room by introducing colour and texture to an otherwise dull space. Long drapes can elongate a room while layering drapes creates depth and a focal point for your window. Whether you’re looking for drapes, shades, or shutters, Change of Blinds (booth #711) will outfit your home with the perfect window coverings for your budget.

Bath Fitter - This year, metallic fixtures and tile walls reign supreme, adding effortless style and creating a contemporary look to any bathroom. Bath Fitter (booth #831) carries a wide selection of on-trend bathroom accessories and also offers custom-made bathtub liners and walls that are installed right over your existing bathtub (read: you don’t have to rip out your existing tub or shower for a brand-new look). Top pick: Bath Fitter’s Genova wall pattern for added texture and depth

Handyman Connection - Create a functional space with custom-designed storage solutions and shelving. A stylish way to display your decor and prized possessions, shelving also doubles as a smart alternative to organizing everything from your favourite shoes to your sentimental vintage pieces. With so many options to choose from, adding shelving is one of the easiest ways to style a room. Handyman Connection (booth #507) can install custom carpentry or prefabricated shelving for all areas of your home, including entertainment units, office areas and bathrooms, to give you a jump on that resolution to declutter.

Heritage Painters - There isn’t much a new coat of paint can’t fix. Heritage Painters (booth #335) can assist with exterior or interior painting to instantly refresh any space. Depending on colour choice, a quick paint job can drastically change a room from bright and airy to dark and moody. Trend tip: give your white walls a makeover with a darker colour like charcoal or navy. Dark colours can provide the room with more character and class.

It's All About Bryan at the Winnipeg Renovation Show

The Winnipeg Renovation Show is fast approaching and the countdown is officially on for opening day: Friday, January 15. With a brand-new look and stellar talent roster, we’re itching to get the goods on all things related to home renovation and design. Lucky for us, headlining this year’s show is the man, the myth, and the contracting legend, Bryan Baeumler, who’s making his Winnipeg Renovation Show debut.

It’s now been over eight years since Bryan was first introduced to viewers across Canada and the US on Disaster DIY, and ever since, the veteran contractor has continued to dole out renovation and design advice on a series of hit HGTV shows including Leave It to Bryan, House of Bryan and Canada’s Handyman Challenge. The House of Bryan series continues to be the highest rated series on the HGTV network, breaking all viewership records.

In addition to successfully owning and operating Baeumler Quality Construction, Baeumler Approved, and the Baeumler Family Foundation, Bryan recently launched his first bestselling book called Measure Twice. He is the recipient of numerous awards including a Gemini award and was also included in the Professional Builder’s Top 40 under 40 in 2014.

In anticipation of his appearance at the Winnipeg RenovationShow (and in attempt to tide us over until then), we caught up with Bryan to ask him a few questions on home renovation and design.

Q: What was your first home design project you ever worked on?

B: Our family cottage, and it turned out great!

Q: Inspiration comes from everywhere. What’s the craziest thing that has inspired you?

B: My pool shed was actually the inspiration for our cottage.

Q: What’s one change a person can make to create the biggest design impact in a room?

B: Paint.

Q: What’s the first step for any home project?

B: Allocating a realistic budget and ensuring you have a contingency fund appropriate for the age of the home.

Q: What three items turn a house into a home?

B: The people in it, the memories and the location.

Get more from Bryan on The Lifestyle Stage at the Winnipeg Renovation Show on Friday, January 15 at 7PM and Saturday, January 16 at 2PM. If you have a question you’d like to ask Bryan, you’re in luck! Bryan will be signing autographs after both of his presentations on Friday January 15 at 8PM and Saturday January 16 at 3PM.
