The Whistler of Chilliwack.

Shae Lorch — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 19:00:23 +0000

CELEBRATING CASCADE ‘The Whistler of Chillwack’ is almost sold out! Everything you would expect from a mountain villa… except the high price tag. Not all housing developments are alike. Sure, some can look like ‘little boxes all the same,’ but Cascade feels different. “It’s the Whistler of Chilliwack,” says Alissa, who recently moved into her Cascade home. Drive around the Eastern Hillsides neighborhood and you’ll see what Alissa means. The steep roofs and exposed timber, thick forest and parkland, plus unbelievable views of the entire valley. Cascade started selling two years ago so there are just a few homes left. If you think homeownership is out of reach in the Fraser Valley, you’ll be happy to hear that Westbow homes are surprisingly affordable! “All of the homes in Cascade are freehold duplexes. Creatively designed to maintain privacy so you barely notice there’s a family next door.” says Brendan Robinson, Creative Director. Front entrances and driveways are separated and offset, shared walls are minimized, and the freehold land ownership gives you a lasting confidence in your investment. And you can’t beat the affordability! “We recently purchased a home at Cascades by Westbow. We were […]

You can contact us for pricing options Get Information – Westbow Construction 2.

Complete Outdoor maintenance There’s a good chance the gutters and downspouts need some care after the buildup of ice and snow.

You’ll regret making these common decorating mistakes!

Shae Lorch — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 21:37:11 +0000

Ever walk into someone’s house and think ‘wow- this looks good!’? It may simply be because you’re making these common mistakes when you are decorating your home. Here are the biggest decorating mistakes you may be making when decorating your house: Mistake #1: Blocking Natural light Natural light really helps your space feel brighter, more natural, and larger. A common mistake people make is putting large blinds covering the natural light, or placing furniture to cover the window. Mistake #2: Hanging art at the wrong height Many homeowners set up their frames or wall art incorrectly. Either it’s too high, too low, or the wrong scale for the space. Ditch the “Eye Level” Rule when you’re hanging your art. This doesn’t work, and if you’re tall. Instead, think of the wall in 4 sections vertically. Then place your art in the 3rd section up from the floor. Don’t go in the 2nd or the 4th…that’s when you’ll be in the too high or too low territory! Mistake #3: Having too many throw cushions How do you know if you have too many throw cushions? You may have too many throw cushions if you can’t sit down without removing some off […]
