"We‘re as good as anyone who specializes in a particular trade. We may take a little longer, but the quality is good," he said. ~ BN‘s experience isn‘t only limited to home renovations and commerâ€" Gial/industrial projects, Henderson said. BN also specializes in doing cotâ€" tage renovations for local residents who want to deal with a local contracâ€" tor, he said. * Henderson has a cottage near Collingwood â€" hence the name BlueNorth â€" which gives him the flexibility to handle outâ€"ofâ€"town projects for local individuals who don‘t want to spend more to hire an outâ€"ofâ€"town company to complete renovations on their cottages. "We‘ll build docks, boathouses or do renovations on cottages and charge the same as a local contractor would. If we‘ve done work at a customer‘s home, they might feel more comfortable having us do the work at their cotâ€" tage, rather than a contractor they don‘t know," he said. Henderson said customers can be reassured of the company‘s reputation for quality since it recently joined the Better Business Bureau. As for Henderson himself, he recently purchased a home in Bronte and is planâ€" ning live, work and raise his family in Oakville.

Each plaque can be customized by color and choice of design, with either an address or the name of a home or business, . :‘ Another unique touch is that the backs of the ceramic pieces can be painted with a personal message, making them a wonderful gift idea for weddings, anniversaries and housewarmings. Kennan‘s line of handpainted ceramics has grown to include clocks, switchplates, tiles for kitchen and bath, lamps (with matching parchâ€" ment shades), and most recently, tileâ€"topped picnic tables which can be purchased in mahogany (for indoors only) and teak. These unique tables are imported from Indonesia by another Oakville company, Ring of Fire, and then topped with Margaret‘s handpainted tiles in three design choices: sunflowers, vetch and multiâ€"floral. The tables are pricey at $1295, but this is a picnic table which is designed to last a lifetime. Until five years ago, Keenan operated strictly out of her home, speâ€" ializing in the handpainted ceramic plaques which have now become ier signature. "I started just by making a plaque for my own house, and eople liked it so much that I started getting orders," she recalls. That ed to an annual Christmas show in her home, and finally to the purâ€" chase of her studio on Chisholm St. Keenan‘s handpainted ceramics still represent the largest part of her usiness, although her creative floral arrangements, using a blend of Jried and artificial materials, are now much in demand. If you‘re going to pay a visit to the Margaret Keenan Design Studio, be sure to leave yourself plenty of time for a leisurely browse. (See if you can spot the tiny, mossâ€"covered lamp which Keenan cleverly creatâ€" ed to cover a flaw in the firing process. It‘s topped with a bark shade, and would make a delightful addition to any cottage.) Ap*fe s eramics and l No Down Payment.
