The Greater Moncton Home Show Recap

I bet most of you–at least those of you from Moncton–were distracted by these little signs plastered around the city.

These signs, and a few billboards, were directing you all to the largest home show in Atlantic Canada! If for some crazy, unexplainable reason you couldn’t make it, here’s a recap of our favorite show! You know those model kitchens and bathrooms at Kent or Home Depot? Imagine that scene at the coliseum and you’ve got the Greater Moncton Home Show! Last weekend, many of you strolled through the doors of the annual show to chat with anyone and everyone in the housing industry!

With the help of our friends at DS&Co., our booth got a major overhaul from last year! It felt like a good ol’ maritime kitchen party as we spent the day chatting with friends-new and old-in our cozy, modern flat!

I had the chance to sit in on this seminar and learn some practical tips about building your home with the future in mind. While spiral staircases rock, it may be a bit is way more practical to think about installing a staircase that is compatible with a lift. I definitely wouldn’t have thought of that right of the bat!

We really enjoyed chatting with all the guests, but it was awesome to catch up with some of our partners and friends like the people at Atlantic Home Warranty and artist Matt Leblanc!

There were SO many smiling faces around the coliseum! Bergman Landscaping & Masonry even set up a backyard camp out!  Also, how cool is that hide-a-bed! Who needs a pull-out couch when pull-down bookcases are an option?

Maritime Door & Window and Efficiency NB were right around the corner from us, so we were able to check out all the latest innovations for keeping your house eco-friendly and stylish!

The show was nothing short of chic with many companies showcasing modern lighting, flooring, and countertops! I’ve always had a thing for black countertops, but I think Precision Countertops won my heart with their stone-patterned display model! It seemed so fairy-tale meets HGTV.

If you didn’t make it this year, we hope to see you next year! BUT, if you did make it, what was the highlight for you?

Win Your Dream Cottage!

Martell Home Builders does more than just build home, we build hope. One of our newest initiatives in the community is the Dream Cottage Draw for the Riverview Boys and Girls Club. The Boys and Girls club is fundraising in the hopes of raising $150,000 to help them run their programs and upkeep their facilities, and that’s a cause we wanted to be involved in.

Where do we come in? We wanted to show our support of the club by donating the cottage to be given away! The cottage is a cozy 900 square feet and would make the perfect getaway for anyone looking to have their own personal weekend vacation destination. The winner will also decide where the cottage will go (and then we follow their orders!).

Where do YOU come in? Buy a ticket! Tickets are only $25 with the winner being chosen on Sept. 25th (and trust us, you want this cuddly cozy cottage). For more information about where you ca buy a ticket visit the Boys and Girls’s club website here or call them at 387-7070
