The Edmonton Sun n Saturday,april 21, 2012 MPSSCS4135497MPSE JASOn HillS Edmonton Sun After years of being the critic, the shoe is now on the other foot for Cobi Ladner. The former editor of Canadian House & Home magazine has gone through a career transformation, and over the past three years has stepped away from the editor's desk and built a successful brand out of her own visions as a designer. As a journalist, it's not often you can step into the world that you cover, butLadner saw an opportunity and was up for the challenge. So far, her decision has paid off nicely. Ladner will be in three Edmonton-area stores this week to promote her brand. Her first appearance will be at A view from the other side Beautiful Home & Gift Inc. in St. Albert on Wednesday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. On Thursday, she will make her way to Country Sampler in Westerose from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and then from 6:30 to 9 p.m., Ladner will visit with fans at Henry's Purveyor of Fine Things in Edmonton.

6 HOMES EXTRA The Edmonton Sun n Saturday,april 21, 2012 Shopping for singles Looking for a home by yourself there are a few challenges to consider Are you thinking about going solo on buying a home? Buying alone means you can choose the furniture you want, decorate how you like and live your own lifestyle. But there are also many issues a purchaser has to keep in mind, especially when it comes to the buying process and ownership rights. Working with a real estate lawyer can lead to a more informed purchase decision and make the whole experience easier and smoother. RayLeclair, an experiencedreal estate lawyer and acting vice president of public affairs at LAWPRO suggests that single home buyers discuss the following topics with a lawyer: 1.

8 HOMES EXTRA The Edmonton Sun n Saturday,april 21, 2012 Guess who's coming to dinner? The house is sparkling after all that spring cleaning so let your friends dirty it with a party. I love to entertain. There's nothing that says you mean a lot to me more than cooking - and half the fun of cooking is how you serve it up. During spring and summer, a signature Rock House event always starts with white linen - the staple of the hospitality industry. With white linens, the colour scheme can go anywhere. If you're thinking white linens are too formal, think again - you know I never take myself, or my dinner parties, too seriously. While never lacking a high dose of fabulousness, our table can swing to the left with a serious sense of formality or swing right losing all its inhibitions. Start with basic white dinnerware and then layer up, adding a colourful plate here and there if desired, or simply add colour with fresh spring flowers around the table. For example, cut fresh pink or yellow ...

10 HOMES EXTRA The Edmonton Sun n Saturday,april 21, 2012 Character windows Adding a little trim colour will go a long way Whiteisthe most common choice for window trim, but nine times out of 10, the wrong one. While it is right for white or lightcoloured houses with a cottage feel, or for the look of a seaside home, it is not rightatall for houses built of natural materials or with colourful siding or stucco, say the experts. Bright white is too bold, the contrasttoo great-and the result is a busy façade. "On stone and brick, as well as on tinted stucco or siding, whites need to be toned in and toned down to reduce contrast and create balance," says colour expert and designer, Janice Lindsay, owner of PINK colour + design. Choose off-whites and choose with care, Lindsay cautions: warm whites with warm palettes, cool whites with cool palettes, and putty or light grey with red brick or stone. "If you have white windows, your trim needs to be the bridge between the window ...
