Dolce & Gabbana Kitchen Appliances

March 15, 2018 by Claude Jobin





A few posts ago I was talking about new colour trends for the kitchen. I was also giving words of caution in spending a lot of money on something trendy that gets dated and does not improve your investment. Alternatively, should you want a punch of colour how about a small appliance customized by Dolce & Gabana? There’s some colour!

Be Careful What You Microwave

February 3, 2018 by Claude Jobin





Beyond what we all know not to put in the microwave, metal, there are other items one should not microwave. Be familiar with the list and make sure your family is as well.

Self-Driving Fridge

December 4, 2017 by Claude Jobin





Yes you read that properly! A fridge that comes when you call it. Handy? Well if sick in bed – I suppose. If too lazy to get up from the sofa – I suppose.

Panasonic says it will be voice activated “Hi Ku come to the dining room table”. It will also be able to avoid children or pets that happen to be on its path. Beyond that, at this point, I don’t know. Is this something you’ve been waiting for and one day will say “How did I ever live without this?” Wow! I’m still part in awe and part horrified! For now it’s only a prototype, but it could be available in 5 to 6 years. Until then you’ll have to get your snack or drink yourself!

80s Inspired Kitchens

June 1, 2017 by Claude Jobin





Not a great selection but an interesting, somewhat amusing, or startling selection of 80s inspired kitchens.  I’m not sure I’m seeing 80s but lets just go along with that.

Now I must add.  When renovating your kitchen are you doing it for yourself? What are your long term plans for your home? Will you be there for 20 years? Or are you wanting to update your home and improve its value.  A very personal kitchen doe not necessarily add value as it can be seen as a  liability a detriment to the sale of your home.  Most buyers are looking for a specific look or should I say a neutral look.  It may not be a look that will excite anyone but it will please most.  Otherwise someone may love the neighbourhood, the location of your house in that neighbourhood, your house itself and then they see your kitchen and see a need to spend thousands of dollars to make it theirs. Bold coloured cabinets, unusual counter tops have a limited appeal.  You could find yourself looking for that one person for a long time.  You could always add your own personality with small appliances, art, or colourful crockery.

Gemstone Countertops

March 18, 2017 by Claude Jobin





So gemstone countertops! Who knew that was a thing? The babradorite is georgeous. I do love the petrified wood! A corner with amethist. Or tigers-eye why not? I have no idea how much these cost and that could be scarry, so… If you consider this either be extravagant and expect nothing of it or consider the ultimate value of your house. Buyers may not agree that a semi-precious counter top adds value to your home.

Fingerprints on Stainless Steel Appliances

January 13, 2017 by Claude Jobin



fingerprints-on-stainless

A facebook friend recently posted “PET PEEVE: I hate stainless steel appliances. It’s impossible to keep them clean. Every little finger/hand print shows. Any tips??”

Several suggestions have come forth but I thought I’d check with all of you. What solution have you found works best? The question is not how to clean but how to keep clean? How best to keep the fingerprints at bay the longest?

Kitchen Cabinet Options

November 4, 2016 by Claude Jobin

presented by the molly & claude team realtors ottawa

kitchen-cupboard-options

Until not so long ago the option was do the upper cabinets go to the ceiling or do you leave a space above them. Now the upper cabinets can be same colour or a different colour, you can have open shelves, or nothing at all. I think the options are great! As mentioned previously if you are considering renovations and are concerned about the effect on the value of your home and the saleability do contact us and we can provide advise based on current trends and recent sales in your neighbourhood. Remember a very personal kitchen design away from the mainstream can be great but if it`s a personal choice it may not fly well with potential buyers. It`s also important to distinguish a new direction vs a passing fancy which will very quickly date your kitchen to 2004.

Water saving faucet design

Another green idea. This faucet designed by a student at London’s Royal College of Art minimizes the water use. Nice!

Thanks!

For being customizable! Julie

Claude and Molly are truly amazing!

I live very far out of town and needed an Ottawa real estate agent after my father died.
I picked them after looking online.

Well I picked the right ones! They were and are extraordinary. Because I live so far away our family needs for cleaning the house out and getting it ready to sell were huge, and to me, insurmountable.

I couldn't have done it without them, and to top this off, they are friendly and just great people. Thank you so much Claude and Molly.

All the best, Rachel


You’re fantastic!

Allan

A huge Thank YOU

You did a yeoman's service with helping us find and buy our house.
We are so grateful for your insights and patience.
It was a big learning curve (and I am still trying to figure out why milk is in a bag . . .) I look forward to hanging out, I mean possibly working with you when I arrive here full time;-) In the meantime, thank you again from us both. Arica and Eric

Fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle

Over the past couple of weeks we were very fortunate indeed to have met Molly Hoyle.
We were selling our home and Molly brought her client to view it knowing it would be a home that they would be interested in....which by the way they were as they did end up purchasing. It was our fortunate luck that we met Molly through this endeavour. My husband and I were selling our house with Grapevine and as we are not experienced sellers there were a few times we were very close to just taking it off the market and staying here. Her experience, knowledge, kindness to us, her understanding that this was a difficult decision especially for my husband made the whole difference for us. Molly's professionalism and expertise, her ability to 'walk a fine line' while working for her client and yet to be so kind and gentle with us was amazing. We feel the whole experience gave us the opportunity to meet and talk with Molly and to value her knowledge. You can be assured that we will highly recommend her to any of our friends who need a conscientious, honest, trustworthy realtor. Sadly we will miss talking with Molly but we only wish her the very best in the future and say 'thank you Molly' for all her help and support. Sincerely, Lenore and Ralph

I really appreciate your hard work,

I will refer you and Molly to friends and family if they are looking to sell. Yana
