ONE OF the first signs of spring
each year is the return of the Real-
ly Big Home Show to B.C. Place
Stadium.

1989 is no exception. Over 400
exhibitors will display their vast
spectrum of products and services
for 10 days from February 17 to
26, 1989.

Following in the wake of last
October’s B.C. Fall Home Show,
the spring show will be bigger than
ever, filling two levels of the
stadium including an added sec-
tion. Visitors will find home ideas
suitable for all lifestyles; from high
rise to country estate, cottage to
condominium,

Plus, visitors will discover many
special events and features of the
show. Participate in the chance to
win the Dream Home ’89. Receive
information on the all new Homes
for Tomorrow tour sponsored by
the Canadian Home Builders
Association of B.C.

Brighten kitchen
with small changes

NO MONEY for remodeling? The
cost of a new kitchen can be pro-
hibitive, but there’s no need to
suffer another year with a dreary
kitchen.

Even if you can’t replace the
appliances and cabinets, reorganiz-
ing what you have and adding
small decorative touches can do a
lot. And with this room very likely
the hub of your house, small
changes can mean a lot.

Start with a c'can sweep. Empty
cabinets and closets, throwing cut
or donating duplicate items or
things you no longer need. Use the
“‘needs test’? — if you haven’t us-
ed it in two years, store it some-
where else, give it away or con-
tribute it to an organization that
takes useful items for resale.

If interior of kitchen cabinets
look worn, wake them up with a
new patterned liner.

After relining and reorganizing
shelves and drawers, you may be
ready for more changes. Keep your
eyes cued to decorating articles and
ideas for remodeling.

The tour, which runs the entire
month of April, will feature the
most innovative new homes in the
Lower Mainland — homes with
the latest energy efficient techno-
logy, the most modern building
products and the newest lifestyles
products.
