homesRing in 2013 with stylish

ideasiriS benaroia

Postmedia News

Ooey-gooey maple-bacon doughnuts, cast-iron cook-ing and shipping contain-ers repurposed as radical homes: These three ideas may not seem to have much in common, but they offer just a glimpse of what 2013 will look and taste like.

Recently, over eggs, the editors of House & Home magazine revealed to some 300 industry insiders their top home, food and lifestyle trends for 2013. Held at the Bay’s Arcadian Court, that space’s Art Deco nostalgia — replete with arches, chande-liers and voluptuous velvet drapes — served as the per-fect backdrop for forecasting the future.

But let’s get back to every-one’s beloved topic: gour-met doughnuts. H&H food

editor, Eric Vellend, insists these fried favourites are the new cupcake, in glazed, adventurous flavours such as refined Earl Grey and rustic s’mores. Glasses will also bubble over in 2013 with healthy DIY sodas — think cream soda concocted out of beet juice and blood-orange crush. These will be made with home carbonators (add that to your Christmas gift list).

And won’t the jewel-bright sodas look beautiful beside your Le Creuset or vintage Griswold cast-iron cook-ware? Not just for show, cast iron masterfully retains heat, making it perfect for braising and deep-frying, Vellend says.

On the lifestyle front, H&H editor-in-chief Su-zanne Dimma says the utili-tarian shipping container is being used in various ways, including for disaster relief housing and luxury abodes. The compact containers are prized because they’re easy to transport and can be stacked to maximize foot-print.

After all, small spaces are a fact of life for many

people, which leads us to the curious “voyeur decor” trend. The prevalence of glass-faced condos has al-

lowed neighbours a peek into each other’s pads. (Good if it’s encouraged, bad if it’s not.) To this end, designers

are getting smarter with pri-vacy features, refining floor-to-ceiling translucent blinds and creating white lacquered panels to divide rooms and optimize storage.

Finally, it’s time to say goodbye to the decorator’s adage that every successfully designed room has a smidgen of black in it; in the design world, this bit of advice is similar to the basic designer rule of always breaking up matched furniture sets. As Dimma says: “We’re seeing metals everywhere. Now ev-ery room needs a hit of gold, but not super shiny, more like unlacquered brass.”

Get glitzy with the follow-ing four looks for the New Year. See an expanded ver-sion of the trends in the Jan-uary issue of H&H:

1. Quiet Luxury — The

name says it all. The look is glamorous but never gauche. Informed by Barbara Barry, Nam Dang-Mitchell, Vicente Wolf and other designers who cotton to understated luxury, this trend elevates the everyday with small, state-ment-making flourishes. To get the look, choose a cash-

mere throw, monogrammed china or custom ceramics for an artistic kitchen back-splash or fireplace surround; for creative ceramics, H&H suggests perusing Vancou-ver’s Edgewater Studio at edgewaterstudio.com. Other ways to go quietly opulent: the slick cast-bronze Athens lounger by Thomas Pheas-ant for Baker (studiobhome.com) from $5,175 (no one said this trend was cheap). Match it with the leggy wood and metal Langley cocktail table, $2,235 at Elte, elte.com.

2. Nature Comes Inside

— Do you happily grab the shovel when a snow dune obstructs the front door, or in the summer go wild when the sun is at its most savage? Then you’re a natural for this trend, which embraces alfresco entertaining, natu-ral light and outdoor furni-ture. Accumulate rattan fur-niture, curios that feature birds, butterflies, squirrels and the like. Replace the hardware on your furniture with earthy knobs made of stone.

Risky and risque on the home front

master the artfully arranged vignette and you can breathe a sigh of relief — you’ll be right on target for the new year.

Anthropologie offers a vast selec-tion, including the pretty-as-a-ring Mined Stone Knob, $18, reminis-cent of fossilized threads. Decorate with moss-filled urns, birch logs and dense linen on tabletops. Fi-nally, if you really want to go totally Thoreau, install a brick floor in the front hall.

3. Simple Scandi — The nod to the

Nordic has been going strong for years, perhaps because of Canada’s similar climate. But sometimes the trend can look sparse and as cold as the environment it references, if there’s too much monochromatic white. But done well, this pared-down look is quite warm. Think texture and balmy shades of cream and grey paint — lash the latter hue on an interior door for pop. Nubby rugs, wooden bowls, framed Japanese paper, Shaker-style lad-ders, trestle tables and muted linen throws in gradations of black grey, cream and white will create warmth and a tactile environment. But with this serene look, remember less re-ally is more. For designer inspira-tion, H&H took a page from the in-teriors of Darryl Carter, Jacobsen Architecture (hughjacobsen.com) and Ilse Crawford (studioilse.com).

4. Fearless Mixing — Cultured,

flamboyant and idiosyncratic, the final fad on the list is the most exciting. In many ways, it’s what decorating is all about: unabashed, unapologetic interiors that defy convention and reflect who you are — if you’re the pattern-mixing, vivid-colour-loving collecting type, that is. Modelled after Katie Rid-der, Nicky Haslam and Miles Redd, H&H recommends mastering the art of the vignette. Layer playful finds (snap up quirky pieces from vintage shops) — anything from an oversized wishbone and brightly coloured leather-bound book to an acrylic bowl. Gussy up your space with bold artwork, lacquered furni-ture, a mix of prints including ikat, animal and floral. Now, perch on that tufted, velvet Victorian settee (of course you already have one!) and bask in the poetic beauty of the risque.

Homes A mix

ContinueD from f1

Everyone here is fully aware of the elephant in the room we know better as demographics and the labour market challenges ahead. Saskatchewan as a province, along with many industries province-wide have been strategic in labour force development and promoting the Saskatchewan advantage as we build awareness about the careers, opportunities and quality of life that awaits in the fastest-growing province in Canada.

Employment Insurance is a valu-able program in Canada and in times of declining employment in some regions the EI system can be a key tool that supports families — support that serves to mitigate the hardship of job losses and assists workers and families to appreciate that we are all Canadians and we are free to seek employment and quality of life from coast to coast to coast.

The government of Canada has been taking bold and innovative steps to use EI to help Canadians retain their families’ quality of life and not spiral into dependency, per-sonal bankruptcy and hardship. We should continue to support and pro-mote mobility of skilled trades and act to remove barriers to interpro-vincial migration of Canadians.

Promoting, developing and mar-keting the richness of Saskatch-ewan across the globe is clearly bet-ter for Canada.

Our land-development and home-building sectors are committed to professionalism and unrelenting in our desire to ensure there is a place to call home for everyone, a job to

build esteem that helps individuals and families acquire and keep their homes, and an opportunity for ev-eryone to share the fruits of Canada and the promise of Saskatchewan. Everyone should feel supported and welcome, whether an Irish immi-grant or a family from East Asia or a Canadian looking for opportunity in other parts of his or her coun-try, or the First Nations child that believes in home and community. We have opportunity to continue to grow and build a stronger Saskatch-ewan and build dreams, homes and communities.

We encourage all governments to work with industry more closely on a better way for new Canadians, an open door for our proud First Na-tions and Metis, a new chance for Canadians who have lost jobs and hope. Industries in Saskatchewan are solutions-driven and are prob-lem-solvers. We are not laying prob-lems at the door of governments; in fact, we want to be a part of the process that leads industry devel-opment and job creation, that part-ners with communities and all gov-ernments to build hope, self-esteem, community pride and a strong Sas-katchewan.

We need to continue to work to-gether to address need, identify priorities and review and refocus our goals and programs so that we continue to realize the outcomes that spread benefits and raise the quality of life, making a difference for those in need.

Through our Bridges and Foun-dations Career Development Cor-

poration, nearly 500 aboriginal Ca-nadians drew good incomes rather than depending on social programs that offered little prospect for a way out of poverty and poor living con-ditions. We need to continually in-vest in support for all First Nations, Metis and our new Canadians, espe-cially as opportunities continue to be abundant in Saskatchewan and the demands of industry persist.

In monetizing the benefit to indi-viduals, communities and govern-ment, conditions of low self-esteem are mitigated, from self worth comes real worth, and the building of family wealth, community and higher quality of life.

Assume per capita payments for social supports of $20,000 per person are now replaced by aver-age annual income of $50,000 in a construction-related career. Based on our very recent successes, this equates to a contribution of $25 million of payroll. The taxes col-lected alone virtually offset the prior social services obligation and minimal investments in the cost of education. The income and the con-tributions to community endure for the long term, the term of a career, a lifetime of building worth and a family legacy instilling a spirit of hope that extinguishes the cycle of dependency.

In recounting the remarkable success of our two small training centres in Saskatchewan, our home builders’ association takes comfort in the fact that not only were there obvious financial gains from job creation, many people and families gained, employers also found dedi-cated and skilled workers, and we built more housing and made exist-ing older houses better.

Soon we will be able to review the final market indicators for 2012, measuring GDP, housing starts, em-ployment, permits, land sales and more. All good to see, but frankly only serve a purpose as historical facts. Reality is that we need to do more, do it better and do it faster. We need to promote more and con-tinue to build careers, homes, com-munities and Saskatchewan. We need to rededicate our commitment to resource- and trades-based indus-tries and to the strengths that build Saskatchewan and fulfil its promise. In so doing, we will continue future-building in Saskatchewan.

Resolve to repair your home’s exterior first

It’s a new year and plenty of peo-ple are making resolutions, usu-ally relating to self-improvement. Some people might want to break a bad habit, like smoking. Others want to start a new habit, such as exercising regularly. But not a lot of people think about resolutions for their homes.

A healthy home is ground zero for a healthy life. To me that’s a no-brainer. I think any homeown-ers experiencing issues with their homes would agree with me. They invade every part of your life and your kids’ lives. So I’m giving you my top New Year’s resolutions to help keep your home shipshape for 2013.

Fix from the outside inHomeowners are always think-

ing about renovating the kitchen or a bathroom, knocking down a wall or making a room bigger. They spend all their time choos-ing tiles, flooring, appliances, lighting. But you know where the money should be spent first? On your home’s exterior.

Too many homeowners don’t realize that anything inside the home is at risk if you don’t take care of the outside.

So let’s say you spend $30,000 on a kitchen or $10,000 on a new bathroom. If you have problems with the roof, the foundation, the weeping tile, or the insulation — anything that has to do with your home’s building envelope — that new kitchen or bathroom might have to be torn out to address the problems behind them. And if you don’t it won’t be long before those problems make their way to the surface.

Tiles might start to crack. Leaks will work their way through dry-

wall. Not to mention the air qual-ity and health issues that come with these kinds of problems.

A problem with your home’s exterior will eventually be a prob-lem with your home’s interior. It’s only a matter of time.

Before you tackle anything in-side your home, take care of any leaks — fix a leaking foundation, fix the roof if it needs repair. Re-point any mortar that needs it. And check if there’s any mould. If there is, start planning a re-mediation immediately. Which brings me to resolution No. 2.

Get a maintenance inspection

Hire a professional to come to your home and do a thorough check of all its major systems. Have the pro check the roof, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), plumbing, elec-trical, basement, basement crawl space, garage and attic.

This will help you know what the issues are and what needs to be addressed first.

An inspection helps you create a maintenance and renovation schedule for the entire year —

maybe even the next five years. It gives you a clear plan on repairs and renovations that will give you the most value — not just for your home but for your family.

When hiring maintenance in-spectors, make sure they are cer-tified. Ask for referrals and talk to previous clients. Find out if they use a thermal camera, and if so, whether they have Level 1 certification in thermography. Do they have insurance, and how much? Do they use a ladder? You need to know all this to hire the right pro.

Think greenThis is about more than just

choosing sustainable building methods and green products.

It’s about choosing mould-resis-tant products when possible and also low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) materials. It’s about incorporating fire-resistant mate-rials if you’re building or renovat-ing your home.

Why do I consider these things green? Because they help keep ma-terials from going in the landfill. Think about it: If you have a bath-room that has mould, it’s coming down. That’s a lot of material that cannot be reused or recycled.

Fire-resistant materials stop fires from spreading and damag-ing other areas of your home. Low-VOC products help keep the air we breathe clean and safe. When we renovate and rebuild right it extends the life of your home and eases the burden on the environ-ment.

Always get permitsI’ve said this maybe a million

times, but I can’t say it enough: per-mits protect homeowners. If you renovate your home and you have a problem with it later, and your contractor didn’t take out any per-mits, you’ve got nothing to fall back on. You’re stuck paying not only for two renovations but also two demos.

That’s a huge waste of money and materials. Plus it’s a huge waste of your and your family’s time, and causes stress and discomfort.

As far as I’m concerned, if you don’t get permits you are asking for trouble.

Sticking to these resolutions will give you peace of mind for the rest of the year. What more can you ask for? Have a happy, healthy New Year.

Q: I have a small, long bathroom I’d like to renovate. There is no room to expand. My place is so tiny that the bathroom door will hit you when you are standing in the hall. Is there anything I need to know in order to help make the bathroom feel bigger? — Jen Cullen

A: The trick to making a space bigger, especially a bathroom, is to make it feel bright and airy. The way to achieve this is to steer clear of busy tile patterns and to keep clutter contained.

Powder rooms are different. Many of us like powder rooms to feel cosy, like you’ve walked into a jewelry box, making patterned wallpaper and opulent fixtures A-OK. Any place where you bathe, however, you will want to feel clean and fresh.

A couple of years ago, I worked on photographer Virginia Mac-donald’s bathroom, which sounds similar to yours. Though we did use loads of tile in the space, there was low colour contrast be-tween the marble penny-round floor tile, white subway tile and marble countertop. Our only pop

of colour was in the shower cur-tain, which was custom-made by Fine Interiors by Susan. There are plenty of pretty shower curtains on the market, but having one custom made allows you to pick a pattern and colour that works with the rest of your home. Plus, in many cases it is the largest dec-orative element in the space and should be fantastic.

Wherever possible, opt for clean and classic fixtures. We chose art deco-inspired fixtures from Kohler to mesh with the bones of the home as well as the 1930s sub-way tile. Even our cabinetry hard-ware is almost invisible. Giant pulls would have distracted from the simplicity of the Shaker cabi-nets, but pedestrian knobs would have ruined the bathroom.

I realize this sounds a bit dra-matic, but the quickest way to cheapen classic cabinetry is to add hardware that looks uber-contem-porary, as though it came from the set of Star Trek. Splurge on great hardware. You can take it with you when you move, or use it on a china cabinet down the road. Du Verre is my source for knockout hardware, and Gingers has a wide selection of luxury hardware.

We replaced Virginia’s original

two-door vanity with a custom narrow one that takes advantage of length of the bathroom. A large vanity that takes up valuable floor space may seem like a risky move, but extra storage and counter space is far more valuable than floor space.

Even though the job was small, Caledonia Marble measured and templated the vanity top and in-stalled the petite under-mount sink and fixtures into one large piece of marble.

Unless you are meticulous when it comes to finishing details, I would leave countertop installa-tion to the professionals. With ev-ery reno, something will go awry. In our case, the tile was installed before the counter. Tile is a finish-ing detail and should be installed last. I had a mild breakdown when this happened, but Caledonia Marble made the necessary adjust-ments on-site. Even if you look closely, you wouldn’t know that a little disaster had been averted.

P.S. A pocket door or one door divided into two mini doors will save guests from being hit when standing in the hall.

Q: Are shag rugs and carpeting making a comeback, and if so, do they have a place within a mod-ern decor?

A: Cue shrieks of incredulity. Yes, shag rugs and carpeting

are back. Robert Smith, manager of Jor-

dans Floor Covering in Edmon-ton, says the fluffy floor coverings have been resurrected over the last year and a half, cropping up in decor magazines and subse-quently on store shelves.

Smith carries at least 80 dif-ferent types of low, medium and thick-pile types of shag carpeting and about 10 different styles of rugs.

Today, the shag fibres he sees

are woven tighter for durability. They boast a softer feel. And they come in modern colours.

But not everyone is rushing out

to buy them quite yet.“It’s the old baby boomers that

basically don’t want it because they’ve had it before,” he says.

“The younger crowds are look-ing at it because it’s chic and styl-ish.”

He says shag gives modern

homes that much-coveted texture, and has become appealing due to its ability to hide soiling.

Shag rugs also easy to clean and vacuum, since you can get right down to the root of the fibres to mop up any spills.

Unlike the burnt oranges or lime greens of the 1970s, shags have come a long way in terms of colour.

Smith says manufacturers have come out with granite-like shades, which often include fleck tones of black and tan, to blend with everything from modern kitchen countertops to the chic leather sofa in the living room.

For those looking to try shag out in their homes, Smith recom-mends purchasing a large piece of carpeting and having a store bind the ends so they don’t fray. Place it as you would an area rug and test it out for a little while. If you like it, you can take the plunge by installing from wall to wall to make your floors feel like clouds.

“It’s funky,” he says. “It’s soft. You can lay down in it, and the kids can play on it.”

If you’re struggling with today’s crossword puzzle, it may have more to do with a lack of house-plants than with a lapse in your mental acuity.

Research shows that today’s well sealed buildings often have elevated levels of carbon dioxide, particularly during winter. Al-though the levels aren’t danger-ous, the stale air can make people a bit drowsy and less able to con-centrate.

Houseplants can help counter-act those effects because while we breathe carbon dioxide out, plants breathe it in.

Now lest you think a lone Af-rican violet on your desk will do the trick, think again. Yes, every plant helps, but the amount of carbon dioxide that can be re-moved depends on variety, size and number of plants, as well as the quantity of sunlight the plants get.

All plants remove carbon diox-ide from the air, but some, such as peace lilies, Chinese evergreens and pothos are better scaven-gers than others. For example, a peace lily might absorb three or four times the quantity of carbon dioxide as would a dracaena of equal size.

A New Year’s bash is one of the easier parties to throw. Everyone’s already in the merrymaking mood, so it’s a simple matter of setting the stage.

You can do that with de-cor, food, beverages and mu-sic, but it’s also nice to offer a party favour that guests can take home as a token of a special evening.

For a clever collection of party favours that can be customized, look to creative gift maven Judy Walker of Seattle, at the website TopsMalibu.com.

A sparkler in the shape of numbers and letters makes a fun way to toast that doesn’t involve drinks — simply touch your spar-kler to the one next to you. If you’d like to get silly, buy some Poof Balls, packets of tubes and colourful paper balls like old-fashioned pea-shooters.

Walker’s Surprise Balls recall a hot item in the 1950s created by New Orleans na-tive Charles Gregor with the tag line, “The Toy You Destroy to Enjoy.” Walker’s handmade version consists of crepe-paper-wrapped balls that you unravel to re-veal a variety of little trin-kets and treasures. They were a hit with retailers at this fall’s New York Interna-tional Gift Fair.

For New Year’s, Walker fills the balls with vintage-s tyle toys, kee psakes, charms, gems, candy, bub-bles, confetti poppers, for-tunes and quotes. She’ll cus-tomize with individualized notes or prizes. Buy them already decorated, or plain to embellish yourself.

Shiny red poppers filled with confetti would be a fun

midnight favour for guests, and Walker has little wish-capsule necklaces, too, for recording resolutions. (De-luxe Surprise Balls, $16.50; set of six undecorated balls, $59; four sparklers, $16.50; six Poof Balls, $15; wish capsules, $9.50; www.topsmalibu.com)

Brit Moran of San Fran-cisco, who runs her own monthly subscription-based craft store, is offering a fes-tive LED balloon kit that in-cludes mini LED lights, glit-ter, an air pump, balloons and ribbon to make decora-tions or favours that glow and sparkle. ($24.99, www.brit.co)

Small yet thoughtful fa-vours can be found at the online wedding and party

supplier www.beau-coup.com. Chic silver snowflake wine stoppers, jewelled

snowflake votive holders and miniature cinnamon-scented pine cone candles

are all pretty take-aways. (Wine stoppers, $2.30 and up; votive holders, $2.42 and up; pine cones, $7.24 and up)

A homemade take-home favour is always appreciat-ed. HGTV.com has instruc-tions for putting together interesting ones such as custom-mixed loose tea, colourful candies packed in cork-topped vials and mini bottles of custom-flavoured liquors such as ginger-anise vodka and vanilla-cinna-mon bourbon. Music lovers can create USB thumb-drive mixes, perhaps with the eve-ning’s party playlist. (www.hgtv.com/entertaining)

Monica Pedersen, a de-signer, HGTV host and au-thor of Make it Beautiful: Designs and Ideas for En-

tertaining at Home, has a favourite fragranced candle she likes to give.

“Pretty, scented votives wrapped like a firecracker are always easy favours. Kai brand’s my favourite, and definitely soothing for New Year’s Day,” she says. Kai’s Twilight candles are a heady blend of exotic white florals. (box of four, $48, www.lifetherapy.com)

Finally, as revellers head out the door, Pedersen sug-gests setting out an attrac-tive cooler filled with iced bottles of coconut water.

“Encourage your guests to take one for the road,” she says.

Offering some post-fes-tivity hydration may be the best favour of all.

Geothermal systems, heat pumps, passive solar de-signs: they’re all great weap-ons against winter’s chill. But when it comes to visual charm, they pale next to a fireplace.

“We do plenty of fire-places as part of our home design,” says Friedemann Weinhardt of Ottawa’s De-sign First Interiors.

A fireplace with a massive surround of dark marble was part of Weinhardt’s re-cent renovation project. The fireplace “is in a large room with a large view (of the Ot-tawa River), so all the ele-ments needed to be propor-tional,” he says.

He often treats fireplaces like this as a wall unit, pro-viding a visual anchor for the room.

Weinhardt says other con-temporary fireplaces often emphasize the linear rather than height. That gives ho-meowners the opportunity for popular design options such as placing a flat screen television above a mantel.

Alan Lester of Carleton Place, Ont.-based Karhu Fine Cabinetry & Millwork, who’s not a fan of the tele-vision trend, says fireplace surround and mantel design has become simpler and more contemporary over the past few years.

Surrounds, for example, are more likely to echo the slab cabinetry doors that have replaced panel doors in kitchens.

On the other hand, the engineering of those simple designs can be complex as clients request, for example, built-ins around fireplaces to house audio-visual equip-ment.

One of the biggest chang-es Lester has seen in the past few years is the shift away from natural wood to coloured lacquer finishes, especially whites and off-whites.

Sprayed-on low-sheen fin-

ishes give a clean look that complements both contem-porary and classic designs.

When homeowners opt for natural wood, he says they’re as likely to ask for walnut or white oak as for the cherry that’s been all the rage over the past decade.

Lester cautions that com-bustible materials around a fireplace must conform to building codes for clearanc-es from the heat source. If in doubt, call a fireplace expert to check construction.

As for cost, he says a sim-ple custom-made mantel and surround starts under $2,000 but “the sky’s the limit de-pending on cabinetry.”

Chuck Mills opted for the less-is-more credo when he designed a classic end-wall fireplace as part of a major renovation of an Ottawa home built in the early part of the 1900s.

The design features a black slate surround for the fireplace and cherry cabi-netry with glass-fronted, Shaker-style doors built by Louis L’Artisan in Bourget,

Ont. Repeated square and rectangular patterns and a balance between horizontal and vertical lines create a restful, reassuring air.

“I tried to keep everything understated because it’s a relatively small room, sort of the classic front parlour, and because of the age of the house,” Mills says.

“The owners wanted a

place to display their items from travelling and there was a lack of room in the original house, so I com-bined those two elements when I designed the fire-place.”

He says that there’s a fire-place in more than 90 per cent of what he builds and there’s no general rule to de-signing them.

Design, in other words, depends on context.

Buyers of production homes also like their cosy flames.

Bruce Nicol, vice-pres-ident at Ottawa’s Tartan Homes, says gas fireplaces in tract housing have be-come standard over the past decade thanks in part to fall-ing costs and because they

can now be vented outside like a dryer, no longer re-quiring an expensive, verti-cal chimney.

That venting also allows them to be placed almost anywhere in a home, from kitchens to bedrooms.

At Ottawa’s Cardel Homes, a fireplace has become a de rigueur focal point as the company replaces the tradi-tional living room with an open-concept family room or great room and kitchen.

Many buyers upgrade the fireplace, spending on average about $2,000, says Cardel’s area sales manager, Harley Wallin.

About half the buyers of one of Cardel’s capital-area developments, for example, have opted for a floor-to-ceil-ing ceramic tile surround that matches some of the home’s flooring and crystal rocks in lieu of imitation logs inside the firebox.

“It’s not at the level of kitchens and ensuites yet,” Wallin says, “but it is an ar-ea where people will spend money.”

Q: I am wondering what I can substitute in my monster cookie recipe for the required peanut butter. I don’t like the taste of peanut butter but want the healthy goodness of peanuts.

A: Leave out the peanut butter and bring in some al-monds or chopped pecans. You can also add dark choco-late chunks and chopped up pieces of health bars. The cookies will taste great. In my opinion the best ingredi-ent of monster cookies are M&Ms!

Extra hint: Go wild with dessert. After your mon-ster cookies have baked and cooled, take one cookie and put a scoop of chocolate chip mint ice cream on top. Place another monster cookie on top. Enjoy your cool ice cream sandwich.

Q: I enjoy reading your column in the paper and de-cided to ask you a question about the drainage system in my three-year-old house. There is an odour coming from my kitchen sink and the hot water (there’s noth-ing wrong when we run the cold water).

We have tried some con-sumer products such as Drano and CLR, as well as vinegar and baking soda. The odour usually subsides for a few hours or days and then returns. I would really like your help on what we can do about this problem, do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

A: Believe me, you are not alone. I receive hundreds of letters from people with what I like to call “the stinky drain challenge.” The overnight

baking soda, hot water and vinegar solution is a pow-erful way to freshen drains and using this method once a month has no disadvantages. However, if your sink contin-ues to smell, you may have a clog in your pipes that will need to be cleaned out.

Other causes of smelly drains are old grease sitting in pipes for a long period and becoming rancid, or poor ventilation. Instead of vin-egar, pour one cup household non-sudsing ammonia down the drain and chase with one cup baking soda. Plug drain and leave overnight.

In the morning, remove plug and pour boiling water down the drain. If smell re-mains, call a licensed plumb-er to check out the system and vent lines.

Q: Congratulations on your brand new website. It looks amazing and I have found lots of good informa-tion on it.

I own a box of old mag-netic photo albums and some of the photos are stuck onto the gummy pages. What is the safest way to remove old photos from the pages?

A: Glad to hear that you have found reena.ca helpful.

The adhesives in magnetic photo albums often degrade over time and leach acids into photographs, causing damage, including some-times changing the photos’ colours.

Before trying to pry pho-tos from old albums, put cot-ton or rubber gloves on your hands so that the oils from your hands do not damage photos. Gently pry the photos up using dental floss. Pick up one loose corner of the photo and slide dental floss under-neath. Pull the floss towards you (not upwards).

Feedback from Reader Who Cares: In the paper I read your comments about towels with a bad odour. I be-lieve that part of the problem is the use of fabric softener. The softener coats the sur-face of the cotton fibres and locks in moisture. Then the bacterial growth takes place.

My daughter was having this problem with her towels. I suggested that she launder them in very hot water with plenty of detergent to wash away the residue and avoid using fabric softener on tow-els. This solved the problem.

Key hints for cooking perfect rice:

• Measure rice into a sieve and rinse with water to get rid of some of the starch.

• Pour the rice into a pot and add one teaspoon olive oil. Stir the rice with the oil to prevent rice grains from sticking together.

• For every cup of rice, add two cups liquid (or more) — water or broth. Salt the wa-ter (optional).

• Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Doing this acti-vates gluten, making the rice sticky.

• Always use a fork to fluff rice. Never stir with a spoon.

• When rice is cooked, drain any excess liquid. Pro-fessional chefs often recom-mend putting cooked rice back into a sieve and pouring boiling water over rice to get rid of any remaining starch. Strain and serve.
