THE PERFECT GREY
Grey is the in-vogue neutral paint colour right now, but
picking the right one can be a trial. Most have undertones
of blue, green or purple. Cloverdale Paint Marketing
Manager Kevin Skelly suggests: "Paint a three-by-three-
foot sample on the wall and live with it for a week."
Start with greys that have a bit of brown in the base;
they're most likely to appear "true grey" on the wall.

MOVING DAY COUNTDOWN
Allan Brown of BC moving company AMJ Campbell has seen
many a frantic household on the big day: "It's very common
that we get to homes and people are still packing." Use this
rough timeline for peak preparation:
2 WEEKS
Separate items into
those you'll pack yourself
and those for the movers.
3 WEEKS
Use up frozen food,
perishables and other items
that won't move with you.
1 WEEK
Start packing your boxes,
and wrap it all up before
moving day.
BRIGHT IDEA
LED light bulbs can save
thousands of dollars over their
lifetime versus incandescents.
But there are so many options
lining shop shelves. Look for:
• Life expectancy: anywhere
from five to 25 years.
• Energy Star logo: certifies
best efficiency.
• Warmth: measured in
kelvin; from around 2,300
(warm white) to 5,000
(cool daylight).
• Smart features: Wi-Fi and
apps allow bulbs to switch
remotely or change colour.
