Mod House Design – Canning NS.22

Eco-Friendly, Home Decor & Design, Mod Home, PortfolioBy Deborah NicholsonAugust 31, 20151 Comment

Word is in – the site prep work starts in two days.  Yay!  I can hardly believe it! I poured over the final plans last night until well past my bedtime.  The last little corrections and adjustments are being done before the production drawings begin tomorrow.  And then changes and corrections will be quite difficult…

While we’re waiting on the permit application process, here’s a little peek at material finishes  that are going into our new home.  Starting at the bottom, here are the floors.  This is a vinyl wood plank product that looks very much like wood but is water proof and not at all expensive. According to our…

We almost moved forward with the comfy grey armless sofa that flattens into a bed – price tag $1600 – and we’re so glad we didn’t.   I’d never been to Structube before.  (I couldn’t get past them name.)   But Michael had and suggested we check out the one in Dartmouth Crossing, as we were…

Yay!  The Royal Bank of Canada has come through for us!  Thank you Sherry Taylor, RBC Mortgage Specialist!  With Sherry’s help, the bank has approved our building style and design.  They’ve approved its value.  And, they’ve approved us. Sherry’s been great.  We look forward to sitting down with her to work through the details of…

Here’s something everyone should know about building an “outside the box”  home that is smaller than the average 1250 square feet per person and environmentally friendly – a home that damages the land as little as possible.  Once you’ve found a builder that sees the vision and has the skills to make it a reality……

So far, the folks at Kent Homes have been exceeding our expectations.  They’re in touch with us daily, as they report progress on working out design details and sourcing items for our home.  For example, today, Laura reported that the push-to-open hinges we liked for our cabinetry are very pricey (about $3,500 in total).  Yikes!…

One of the truly handy things about building a single module prefab home is it can be expanded and contracted length-wise until you have the right balance of space versus expense.  When we first decided to work with Kent Homes, we were thinking 16 feet wide (that’s the maximum width that can travel on Nova…

Our nearly finalized plan with Kent Homes is here! Just a couple of minor tweeks and we’ll be able to sign off and get scheduled. This image is very small, so if you’re like me and enjoy walking yourself through floor plans, click on this link for the larger sized PDF Plan Perhaps you’d enjoy…

Nearly everything in our new house will do double duty.  For instance, our dining table will have clever design features so we can place it against the wall, parallel to the refrigerator and at counter height for additional kitchen workspace. With a drop cloth over it, it will make a fine painting studio work table…
