Location: Pacific Douglas. If you’re not already familiar with this sub-community it is on the outskirts of South Surrey in between the Peace Arch border and the Pacific Highway border (also commonly referred to as the Truck Crossing). Continue reading
Location, Location, Location – Part 3
Welcome to Part 3 in this blog series Location, Location, Location where I focus on White Rock. If you missed Part 1: Crescent Beach/Ocean Park, click HERE. If you missed Part 2: Grandview, click HERE.
Location: White Rock. When you think of White Rock you may think of all of South Surrey but White Rock is actually a rather small area in comparison. The area goes from 160th West to 136th and from Marine Drive up to North Bluff/16th Avenue. Continue reading
Location, Location, Location – Part 2
Alright, here we are for the second post in this series. In this post, I’ll focus on the Grandview Heights neighbourhood. If you missed my first post in this series, where I wrote all about what it’s like to live in Crescent Beach / Ocean Park, then click HERE. Continue reading
Location, Location, Location
Welcome to my latest blog series: Location, Location, Location. I’ll be writing a series of posts (as I have time to write them) on various local neighborhoods, what it’s like to live there – what there is to do, cost of living, etc. I’ll be starting this series with a focus on White Rock/South Surrey. The first sub-communities I’ll explore are the quaint areas of Ocean Park & Crescent Beach. Continue reading
Holiday Decorating When You’re Trying to Sell
The holidays are right around the corner and Christmas has arrived in every shop. Some of my friends have even started their holiday decorating already. For most people, decorating your home for the holidays is a favourite way to kick off the season and get in the festive spirit. If you are selling your home during the holidays, however, you may want to re-consider how and when you decorate your home. Continue reading
Another Week, Another Project
Between listing appointments, buyer showings, preschool drop offs and pick-ups, and doctor visits (for one sick baby), I decided I wanted to fancy up my eating nook. I really can’t help myself; I guess my DIY projects are my hobby and my down time. Continue reading
To Be Or Not To Be A Landlord
It’s certainly not uncommon here in the Lower Mainland to have an income suite in your home. In fact, a suite can add value to your home as many people specifically look for homes with a suite that they can rent out in order to help with housing costs. This blog is to help anyone that may be on the fence about taking on the venture of owning a house with a suite that they can rent out. Continue reading
The Great Appliance Hunt
It was Thanksgiving here in Canada last weekend and if you didn’t spend it at the Home Depot like the rest of the country then you really aren’t cool. Seriously though, it was busy and we had no choice but to spend our Monday shopping for new appliances. Let me rewind to Sunday to explain myself. Continue reading
Room Refresh: Part 2
Guess what I’m never doing again? Building a bed. I always seem to think these things look easier than they are. I told my sister I thought in my head that it would take me an hour. WRONG. While it was exciting to use power tools for the first time since grade 9 wood working class, I also had to do a lot of math and measuring. Nonetheless, a can of worms has been opened, and now that I know I can use power tools, I have many other projects planned in my head (let the fun begin). Before I go on too much further, here are some before pictures of her room (and before you go on too much further, make sure you read last week’s post – Room Refresh: Part 1): Continue reading
Room Refresh: Part 1
My oldest is now 3 and I’ve decided to re-do her bedroom; not a total makeover but more of a refresh. While I always have a decorating bug, the real reason behind this next project is to hopefully get her to sleep in her own room again. Everybody cross your fingers for us!!! Continue reading
