Painting memories Vancouver portrait artist Crystal Deshaies has turned her talent to home portraits, capturing life’s moments in her carefully rendered reproductions of local homes. Shown here is her portrait of a Southlands home, painted to preserve memories before the long-time owners moved on. The custom paintings often include pets, kids or special family events, according to Deshaies, who hints, “The painting can even reflect makeover plans, or successes.” ��� ��������������������������� continued on page 45 <strong>Makeover</strong> Resources HOT NEW PRODUCTS—8 Cabinet: Kohler, www.kohler.com Coating: Mayne Coating Corp., www.maynecoatings.com Hardwood: Renaissance Old World, www.carving.com Power cultivator: Black and Decker, www.blackanddecker.com Power Mop: Black and Decker, www.blackanddecker.com Small house: Smallworks Studio/Laneway Housing, www.smallworks.ca SmartLock system: Weiser Lock, www.weiserlock.ca GREEN CHANGE—11 Restore/Habitat for Humanity, 604-681-5618 Window film: www.v-kool-usa.com NEWS/ ROOFLINES—12 RJR Construction Management Ltd., 604-251-1760, www.rjrrenovator.com CURB APPEAL—16 Curb-Ease Continuous Concrete Borders, 604-463-5480, www.curb-ease.com Crackman Colour Seal Protection Ltd., 604-690-5833, 1-877-690-5833, www.crackman.ca BATHROOM MAKEOVER—18 Bruce Wilkin Design, 250-698-0355, www.brucewilkin.ca TIMELESS TASTE /KITCHEN—21 Robert Ledingham, www.ledingham.com Intracorp / Stirling House, 604-228-8100, www.stirlinghouseliving.ca PARADE OF RENOVATED HOMES—23 CCI Renovations, 604-980-8384 www.ccirenos.com Intermind Design Inc., 604-338-9936, www.interminddesign.com JHC Craftsman Ltd., 604-980-7818, www.jhcrenos.com MP Construction Ltd., 604-943-4276, www.mpconstruction.ca Quinton Construction Ltd., 604-618-4876, www.quintonconstruction.com RJR Construction Management Ltd., 604-251-1760, www.rjrrenovator.com Shell Busey’s HouseSmart Renovations, 604-431-0321, www.housesmartrenovations.com TQ Construction Ltd., 604-430-9900, www.tqconstruction.ca LIFTING EXPERIENCE—36 Decortec <strong>Home</strong>lift Inc., 604-904-3727, www.decortechomelift.com PERSIAN RUGS—38 Peter Tolliday Oriental Carpets, 604-733-4811, www.tollidayoriental.com HONEST HARDWOOD—39 Casa Madera Hardwood Floors Inc., 604-294-9663, www.casamaderafloors.com Nucasa Milling Company, 604-998-3363, www.nucasa.com Pacific Gas Installations & Service Ltd., 604-340-9952, www.pacificgas.ca Wideplank Hardwood Ltd., 1-877-795-2236, www.wideplankhardwood.com BARBECUE BONANZA—41 Firestone grill, Concorde Distributing Ltd., 604-855-6756, www.concordedistributing.com MAKEOVER MONEY—43 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp./RRAP, 1-800-639-3938, www.cmhc.ca.
