InsIde KTDoor knocking at Kitchissippi candidates’ homes

story & Photos By Kristy strauss

From bright colours to local art work, Kitchissippi Ward’s municipal candi-dates have their own unique style

when it comes to the place where they kick up their heels and relax after a long day of campaigning.

“My decoration style, I would say, is bright and happy - which is sort of like me,” says can-didate Ellen Lougheed.

Light turquoise colours welcome a guest into Lougheed’s Hintonburg apartment, which over-looks the city and gets plenty of natural light.

“I like the brightness, and in the afternoon, my place is phenomenal,” Lougheed says.

In addition to her balcony, which has been converted into a lush garden, she says her bathroom is her pride and joy. She has created an accessible, dark turquoise bathroom which includes a bright orange sink that she painted and baked herself. The faucets are also placed in the front – making them easy to reach.

“I didn’t want it to look institutional,” she says.

Candidate Jeff Leiper’s Hintonburg home has a more neutral colour in the living room – but a bright red piece of art work he purchased from local artist Patrick John Mills pops in one corner.

In addition to visual art, the home features a beautiful piano and numerous instruments that his family plays.

Leiper particularly takes pride in his diverse vinyl collection.

“I love the piano. It’s not decoration, but it gives me joy to look at,” he says, while pointing out the saxophone, guitars and amp. “When we have money to spend on stuff, it tends not to

Kitchissippi Ward candidate Jeff Leiper’s home is all about music – with a piano

be on decorating – it goes towards things that make for a home that is enjoyable to live in.”

Incumbent Katherine Hobbs’ Hintonburg condo also features neutral walls that have both local art pieces, and items she picked up while traveling in the past – including in Ethiopia.

“It is a bit of a mish mash,” Hobbs says. “What I really like is to have things around me

that I love, and remind me of the places I’ve been. I’ve scrimped on all the furnishings and have focused on art that I like, and it makes me feel good to look at it.”

Candidate Michelle Reimer, who lives in a Civic Hospital neighbourhood home, particularly favours her bright blue open concept kitchen.

“This would be the hub of our home,” she says, adding the kitchen is a main gathering place for family and friends.

Reimer has also added many personal touch-

es to her house, including a wall that features family photos that go back generations.

“I’ve traced back all the weddings going back two generations, and we have photos of our great grandparents’ marriages on both sides with us in the middle,” she says, adding that she loves the personal touches in her home the most. “I’m attracted to vibrant colours and bright light, but family is also an important part (of my decorating style).”

While Kitchissippi Ward candidate Larry Was-slen lives in Orleans, he is looking to downsize from his five-bedroom home to a smaller one in the neighbourhood with his wife.

He wanted to move to Kitchissippi because he loves the feel of the neighbourhood.

“I’m looking for something modest and not too expensive,” he says, adding that his decora-tion style is a little different from others.

“I’m a big fan of clutter,” he says with a laugh. “And so there really is no vertical space in my house that is not covered. It’s a family style because my kids, my wife and I seem to have the same general approach. If there is a spot on the table that’s not covered, we’ll find some-thing for it.”

As a city that also doubles as the Nation’s Capital, people sometimes forget that Ottawa is comprised of many unique and distinct neighbourhoods, with his-tories and identities that extend far beyond Parliament Hill. Westboro is one of those unique neighbourhoods.

With a local history dating as far back at the 19th century, Westboro has grown and flourished significantly in recent years. If you were to Google Street View Rich-mond Road between Island Park Drive and Golden Avenue in the 1860’s, you would see a billowing trail of dust left by farmers dragging saplings along an unpaved road.

Jump ahead to the 1960s and witness the progress—paved streets and sidewalks, an active residential community and several lo-cal businesses, including a hardware store, a bowling alley, a smoke shop and a salon.

Today, if you set foot, set up shop or put down roots in Westboro, you are lucky enough to be in one of Ottawa’s most desir-able enclaves. In the wake of its humble yet charming past lies a future that is bright and boundless. With close to 200 shops, restau-

rants, and professional and personal services, the promise and vitality of Westboro has not been lost on local builders and developers. At present there are a total of six multi-million dollar residential and retail mix projects re-cently completed, being built or soon-to-be built in Westboro. They include UpperWest (Minto and Canderel Residential), Ravenhill Common (Springcress), Q West and 111 West (Ashcroft Homes), Westboro Connec-tion (Bridgeport Realty) and 236 Richmond Road (Main and Main Developments).

Ease of walkability, a colourful farmers’ market, excellent schools and a dynamic Mainstreet are just a few of the reasons why many consider Westboro to be an immense-ly livable neighbourhood. It is also home to several beloved community organizations, including the lauded Dovercourt Commu-nity Recreation Centre, the active Churchill Seniors’ Centre and the revered Royal Cana-dian Legion. Add to the mix, the culturally-rich Festival House and Bluesfest School of Music and Art, and you have a lively, vibrant sense of community at every corner.

On any given day, you will find the side-

walks of this urban village teeming with a pleasing mix of people and pets—stay-at-home Dads with their kids sampling the latest toys at Mrs. Tiggy Winkle’s, Nor-dic-walking seniors breaking for coffee at Bridgehead, Labrador Retrievers lapping from lovingly-placed bowls of water out-side the Clocktower Pub.

Attractive neighbourhoods don’t just look good—they feel good. As you stroll the sidewalks, you sense the history -- you feel safe -- you delight in what surrounds you.

This is today’s Westboro. And it feels great.

“Activity stirs in every limb; hurry and bustle meet you at every step… a new life has been born

—new blood infused in its veins.”

ADVERTORIAL

–Excerpt from a 1913 promotional piece extolling the virtues of growing Westboro

And we don’t just mean that our condos are

thoughtfully crafted. Yes, the looks are contem-

porary and the designs are timeless. But more so,

before any building is even standing, there exists

something more important: a vision of what could

be. It’s called potential. And for over 35 years,

Domicile has shown a keen eye for finding it

and—through building upon neighbourhoods

instead of over them—rewarding its buyers

with extraordinary homes. See how a Domicile

home can complete the vision for your family at

Every building is a vision.

Find potential and build on it.
