Surprise your wife with seemingly new appliances with a dishwasher and stove kit that can be found on Amazon.

7. Add a touch of elegance to your boring windows with “leaded-glass” film.


Not only does it look super expensive but it also adds privacy to your home.

8. Paint over your dated cabinets.


This will give your kitchen that newly renovated feel for pennies compared to what it would actually cost to replace your cabinets.

For those who aren’t too handy with their tools, no problem! Instantly transform your kitchen with tiles you can install without any grout – just peel and stick them to a flat surface.

Here are 5 Key Facts that you need to know. 1) More local than ever To begin with, there's no such thing as a Canadian real estate market.

But according to a new report, five other Ontario cities’ housing markets are going to explode in the next few years. According to the real estate research organization Real Estate Investment Network (REIN), Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Barrie and Brampton all have the potential to become leading housing markets in the next five years. To back up their prediction REIN measured several economic factors that might affect the growth of each market such as GDP, employment and population growth. “On January 25, an agreement was signed to redevelop LeBreton Flats, prime land close to the downtown core of Ottawa,” reads the report. “The plan includes a new LRT station and will move Ottawa’s hockey team to a new home. It is expected that the plan will have a strong positive effect on demand and values.” Other factors driving the Ottawa housing market? Ho
