The waterfront site is an enticing mixture of level topography, outstanding mountain and lighthouse views, and sunny southern exposure. This cottage-style home provides easy access to single-story living with a first-floor primary bedroom suite, living space, office, laundry, and an ample mudroom. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms with lake views, bathrooms, a sitting area, an exercise area, and a second office space to simplify working-from-home needs.

A look at a custom mahogany cellar we built for a customer in Connecticut. His response:
"I found the experience of working with Wineracks.com and Mark Karpinski to be outstanding. As you can see from the photos, my wine cellar was far from standard. There are multiple unusual angles, a center island, and unusually tall ceilings.
Rather than finding these a difficulty, Mark and Wineracks.com became passionate about the space and worked diligently with me to help me get the design I envisioned and made it a reality. At times it felt that Mark was more excited about getting the project done "just right" than I was!
The measurements and layout were nearly perfect, despite the challenges of the space. In addition, Mark was in constant contact throughout the project happily offering tips and advice as we worked through the installation.
Without hesitation, I would give Wineracks.com and Mark Karpinski my highest recommendation.

Picking out a tree for your yard is a big decision. Once a tree has been planted, there is no way to remove it without killing the tree. It’s important to keep a few things in mind when choosing what type of tree to plant and where to place it. That’s why Five Star Tree Services has put together a few tips on how to choose the right tree for your property.
How Should You Choose a Tree?
The purpose of the tree is the main thing to consider when choosing a species. Are you looking for a decorative tree that has attractive flowers or are you seeking a tree that will serve as a windbreaker for your main structure? Are you interested in planting a fruit-bearing tree or maybe a tree to offer shade in the summer months? Understanding what type of tree you need will help you choose one that you will love.
Tree Maintenance
All trees require a certain amount of love and care, some more than others. Think about the amount of time you are able to dedicate to tree care or the amount you are willing to budget for professional tree care each year. Deciduous trees are bright, colorful and shed their leaves on a regular basis which means you will need to put aside time for yard care. Evergreens on the other hand remain generally the same year-round and require much less dedicated care.
How Big Do You Want It?
Trees also come in various shapes and sizes. So it’s important to think about the size of your yard when planting a tree. You will also need to think about overhead and underground power lines when considering a new tree. Don’t think about the current size of the sapling, think about how tall and how deep the root systems will run once the tree has matured. Smaller properties can benefit from decorative, yet more compact species while homes with more space can benefit from larger species.
Your Soil & Environment
Every part of the country has a slightly different climate. Not all trees are able to thrive in every climate. Think about your typical weather patterns when choosing which tree to plant in your yard. Soil conditions also change from one location to the next. You can always ask one of our specialists to perform soil analysis and offer recommendations and which trees would grow well in your general location.
How Five Star Tree Services Can Help
We love trees as much as you do, and we want to make sure you choose the right tree for your property. If you are in need of help with choosing a tree, Richmond Hill tree planting, or just general tree care, Five Star Tree Services can help. We love taking care of trees and have been serving the Toronto area for generations.

Large Floor Plan which allowed the home owners to completely reconfigure the design layout.
The simple and modern lines along with few color combinations, give the space a spa like relaxed tone and very inviting feeling.
Natural light floods the area thru the large window, which centers the room for the soaker tub.
Granite Tops with undermount rectangular sinks, garnishes the custom build double vanity cabinets.
Double crown mouldings add to the visual and conclude the 9 ft ceiling elevation.
Besides the obvious Wood Grain Porcelain Tile, the glass tile accents the wall and niche background and coordinates well with shower floor Natural Flat River Stone, ( Enhanced and Sealed with a Semi-Wet /semi-glossy product.)

In the early days of electrical lighting, inventors such as Thomas Edison tested and retested as they searched for long-burning filaments. In 1890, the filament choice was carbonized cotton. Globe Electric’s bulbs have a tungsten filament, which is used to reproduce the single hairpin loop of a vintage design. The Chromeo has a chrome tipped top to help direct the light and to beautifully reflect its surroundings. A perfect accent light, position it within a clear shade or exposed socket to enjoy its shape and ambient glow. Crafted to preserve the look of early 20th century lighting, Globe Electric's Incandescent designer silver CHROMEO 40-Watt 120-Volt medium base bulb is a perfect way to liven up a room. Please note, these bulbs are not as bright as modern bulbs of the same wattage and are recommended for exposed socket fixtures. Glass has a goldish amber tint which can vary in degree from light to medium. These bulbs can be dimmed.

In the summer of 2012 we embarked on a remodel of our 1912 Craftsman. We wanted to redo the kitchen and the upper floor which contained the master bedroom, bathroom, guest room and office. We interviewed approximately 5 other architects prior to finding Mark. We knew right away he was the right person for the job. He was patient, thorough and we could tell he truly loved our home and wanted to work with us to make it even better. His vast experience showed through during the interview process which validated his portfolio.
Mark truly became a trusted advisor who would guide us through this remodel process from beginning to end. His planning was precise and he came by many times to re-measure to get every detail accounted for. He was patient and helpful as we made decisions and then changed our minds! He was with us every week of the 10 weeks of the remodel. He attended each weekly meeting with the General Contractor and was at the house numerous other times guiding and really looking out for our best interests. I came to trust him enough to ask his opinion on almost everything from layout to colors and decorating tips! He consistently threw out ideas....many of which we took.
Additionally Mark was a tremendous help in referring us to contractors, designers, and retailers to help us along the way. I am ecstatic over the results of the remodel. The kitchen and bath are truly beautiful and full of modern conveniences while maintaining the integrity of the 1912 structure. We were right about our decision to hire Mark and we wholehearted recommend him as an outstanding architect, and more!!

Protect Your Beautiful Fruit Trees
Apple scab and Pear Trellis Rust are very common diseases, and two of the most aesthetically damaging diseases of fruit trees. Very susceptible trees become defoliated by mid-summer, which weakens the trees over time and can even cause death.
Fungicides must be applied preventively to successfully manage Apple Scab and Pear trellis Rust. Spores are released so early in the growing season, fungicide sprays must begin when the first green leaf tips emerge in spring. A series of three treatments performed approximately 7-10 days apart are recommended for best control.
