With Easter approaching us we thought we would dip into some Easter decor ideas for around the home.

This is a super easy way to just add that touch of Easter to your home without it looking tacky or cheesy. Throw in some Easter eggs into a vase you currently have around the house.

This is a great idea if your hosting Easter dinner.  An easy DIY project that you can do with your kids.  Burlap wrapped around the chairs with a large pom pom and ears!

Why not brighten up the front entry door? This gorgeous wreath really embodies the feeling of spring and Easter. 

We hope that we have inspired you to get home DIY Easter Home Projects going.

This weeks blog post we would like to focus on laminate flooring.  Many people don’t realize that you can get a really good quality laminate floor that looks almost just like an engineered floor. Laminate flooring is actually just a photograph of wood printed on a piece of MDF.  Isn’t that kinda crazy?  The description makes it sounds a little fake and low end which is why some people can be turned off from it.  However, laminate flooring has come a long way.  They now have texture and you can really get that barn wood feel from them.

If you are working with a smaller budget and wanting to have that wood look through out the majority of your home.  Laminate floors are definitely something to think about using.  As you can see in the photos above, the higher end two tone laminate flooring resembles oak flooring perfectly.  The two tone variation and texture wont give you that fake plastic look you have seen before with laminate’s.  Now this look is also alot easier to achieve if you choose a lighter color.  If you are set on a dark color i would suggest using a hardwood.  Darker laminate’s can tend to make dust and dirt a lot more apparent and scratches more visable.

Here at Sunlight Heritage Homes we offer several options when it comes to laminate flooring.  Some with less texture and variations and higher end options with tons of grooves and knots just like wood! Here is a photo of a few of our samples from our Design Centre.

We hope you enjoyed this post and that we have changed your outlook when it comes to laminate flooring.

Mr & Mrs Tupling Decided they would like to move to Woodstock to be closer to their family.  When they started their search for their future home they came across Sunlight Heritage Homes.  They loved the detached bungalows Sunlight offers as they have nice large windows through out, letting in tons of natural light.

When selecting their Lot, they picked one where the front of the house will look out onto green space with trees as they are avid bird watchers and lovers.  

They also loved how Sunlight Heritage Homes were willing to adjust and customize the interior of their floor plan.  By changing the stairs to better accommodate their needs, this made their home perfect for them.

The day of their color selection they brought along their daughter and family friend to help them in process. Most of the decisions made were based on the whole families array of dogs and whether certain materials were better for them such as laminate over hardwood. A breakfast bar was added to the island with the grand kids in mind. A customized L shape Kitchen to allow for easier conversation flow while cooking. 

They were surprised as they thought they would be leaning towards more of a grey color scheme when in fact they ended up going with more browns.  Color will be brought into the home with pops of color using area rugs with brilliant blues and chairs with white and yellow combinations.

We sincerely enjoyed working with the Tupling’s and wish them all the best in this next chapter of their lives.
