Editorʼs Blog #1: Diary of a
Condo Buyer
Mistakes to Avoid When Buying an
Investment Property
BRING THE HOLIDAYS BRING THE HOLIDAYS Into Your HomeInto Your HomeThere’s excitement in the air as family and
friends gather together for the holidays,
and we all want our homes to refl ect this
joy. To inspire you with festive holiday
decorating ideas, REW spoke to three art-
ists taking part in this year’s Got Craft?
holiday craft fair.
Jennifer Chu, owner, Green with Envy Floral + Textile Designs www.greenwithenvy.ca
• Head for a walk in search of nature’s
bounty – branches, cedar, holly and pine
cones. Cover the base of a hurricane lan-
tern with your greenery, add a large white
candle and you have a beautiful center-
piece for your table. Tie a ribbon on the
hook for a hint of colour or use spray snow
on the greenery.
• Add a simple non-traditional wreath to
your door using willow branches, a steel
frame and cedar. Keep overlapping the
branches in a circular, clockwise motion.
Then embellish with pine cones, dried
fl owers or succulents.
• Fairy lights pack a big punch! You can
hang them, create a glowing garland for
your sideboard or mantel entrance or
entwine them in a vase or other container.
• Another popular trend is the chalkboard.
Buy a simple wood frame and some chalk-
board paint and write words on it such as
Joy or Peace or your holiday dinner menu.
• A moss-covered branch makes for a fabu-
lous rod on which to hang ornaments or
tea light holders.
Tamara Komuniecki, owner, Delish General Store www.delishgeneralstore.bigcartel.com
• Make Pinterest your best friend … it is a
repository of inspiration.
• Fill mason jars with white fairy lights,
add a little greenery at the bottom and
voila – a simple yet stunning vignette. Or
dip them in metallic paint, sparkles and
add tea lights for another gorgeous look.
• If you are on a budget or your condo
doesn’t allow a real Christmas tree, pick
up some cedar branches. Place them
upright in a large vase or bucket and cre-
ate your own unique tree on which to hang
your homemade ornaments.
• Washi tape is a Japanese masking tape
that has thousand of uses and comes in a
plethora of colours and designs. You can
use it on your walls and it will not peel
paint off . Use it to create your own orna-
ments, wall trees or advent calendars.
• Fashion a string of lights using ping
pong balls and fairy lights. Cut a small X
in each ball and string them right over the
lights (they won’t get too hot), and it looks
fabulous. Add a little splash of colour with
some Washi tape.
• Dip pine cones in paint and string them
with fi shing line and you have nature’s
garland.
Kerri Pfeifer, owner, Rogue Florist www.roguefl orist.com
• Run a garland made out of foraged ever-
greens down your table, around windows
and your mantel – not only does it add a
fresh look but it smells heavenly too! Add
cedar, pine cones or a selection of candles
in various sizes for an elegant look.
• Create wreaths made out of willow
branches and grape vines. Hold all the
stems at one end to tie. Then, start with
the grape vines and weave in the willow
branches. Finish off by decorating with
holly, ornaments … whatever you like.
• Trim your tree with metal cookie cutters,
which come in a large selection of shapes
and designs. Wrap them in fabric, fabric
trim, twine, ribbon or Washi tape.
Mark your calendars: Vancouver’s largest
indie craft fair, Got Craft? is celebrat-
ing its 16th show Saturday and Sunday,
December 13 and14 between 10am and
5pm at the Maritime Labour Centre, 1880
Triumph Street, Vancouver. Admission is
$3 at the door.

R E A L E S T A T E W E E K L Y
Tsawwassen has seen a lot of new attention
in recent years. With big investment in every-
thing from infrastructure to retail, it’s clear
that this idyllic rural community is now on the
radar. It’s hardly surprising. The community
gets three times more sun than Vancouver, has
beautiful beaches, gorgeous mountain views,
and enjoys a tranquil, easygoing community
feel. If anything, it’s surprising that it took the
Lower Mainland so long to discover this place.
Tsawwassen Springs, a new resort-style
community close to the ferry terminal, has
seen the value in Tsawwassen all along. The
concept of this new neighbourhood is simple:
create a high-value golf community, with a true
vacation feel, in a location that’s totally central
to the Vancouver area. The community fea-
tures a mix of expansive concrete condos and
freestanding homes, at a value you normally
wouldn’t expect for this level of quality.
The result has been a runaway success.
With greenside living and front door access
to the course and amenities, the fi rst phase
of condos sold out remarkably quickly. Since
2011, the community has grown to nearly
300 residents so far, and the families that
have moved in are raving about life in the
community. New friendships are forming all
the time at Tsawwassen Springs, according
to residents – often on the fairways, or on the
Pro Shop patio.
PHASE II CONDO COLLECTION
A new release of concrete condos at
Tsawwassen Springs has sparked renewed
attention at the site. Like all of the residences
at Tsawwassen Springs, the Phase II condos
exhibit the best of today’s Arts & Crafts
architecture, with a warm profi le that sits
well with the simple grace of this community.
Many homes command inspiring views of the
fairways, and bold vistas of the mountains
and the water. Massive balconies and patios
reinforce the fresh, sunny outdoor living of
this community (especially in the brilliant
summer months). Every condo is equipped
with geoexchange heating and cooling, and
high-calibre details and fi nishings (including
granite counters and stainless steel appli-
ances) make these homes feel truly premium.
The condos range from 754 to over 2600 SF,
and start at $369,900.
For those who want a closer look, the sales
centre is open Tuesday-Sunday 12-5pm and by

A GOLF COURSE IN FULL SWING
Golf is ever present here, even over the
fall and winter with the Springs Snowman
League. The community is built around a par-
70 course that’s walkable, but designed with
the grand feel of a big private course. The
course has been celebrated by residents and
visitors alike. Undulating greens, serpentine
water features, mature trees, and the occa-
sional heron all play against the backdrop
of breathtaking views to the North Shore
Mountains.
The fall and winter have shown to per
form well with an advanced $2 million drain-
age. The system means water disperses more
quickly, leaving fairways playable during and
after rain. This makes for the longest play-
able season in the region. It also protects the
famous wetlands of the region, which has led
to approval by the Audobon society.
Full amenities will open next summer,
including an extensive new community
Clubhouse with restaurant, fi tness, and exer-
cise studios, and a full-service performance
centre.
INVESTMENT IN THE AREA
There is a lot of new investment in this
region at large. The new Tsawwassen Mills
shopping and entertainment complex, for
example, an extensive mixed-use retail, enter-
tainment, outlets, and dining development, is
well underway, and will make the site more
of a destination for the Lower Mainland.
Meanwhile, the new South Fraser Perimeter
Road will allow traffi c to fl ow much more
easily to the area. It’s clear that Tsawwassen
is looking more and more attractive to more
people all the time.
All the same, the quiet, simple, sunny plea-
sures of life in Tsawwassen are eternal, and
the people who live at Tsawwassen Springs
will tell you: They’re glad to have discovered
what many still call “the Lower Mainland’s
best-kept secret.”
