An accent fireplace is a surefire way to modernize a room! We love the way slate grey was used here to create an effect that manages to be both contemporary and timeless. Do you prefer a modern fireplace like this one or something more traditional?

It’s #InternationalTeaDay! Ottawa has some of the coolest tea rooms and shops around. While we can’t visit them right now for obvious reasons, don’t let that stop you from steeping yourself a lovely cup of your favourite tea at homeor perhaps iced tea in this heat. #repost @thevanitearoom

Thank you, Kayla!

Sometimes you just have to dance through it! @EVAmericas and @specialolympics are highlighting #InternationalDanceDay today. We’ve all had a harder time staying active lately, and our Special Olympics athlete partners are finding creative ways to combat isolation while they’re unable to compete. Feel free to show us your best moves!

It’s times like these that remind us how much we need our neighbours. Even while apart, we’ve been relying on those around us. Even the simplest act of kindness can brighten a day. Take a moment this weekend to think about how we can continue to help each other, both now and after our lives get back to normal!

Repost from @theheartandhaven. COVID-19 has kept us all inside more than we’re used to, allowing us to really interact and think about how we live in our homes. Has anyone taken this opportunity to rethink their living spaces? It's become apparent how important is it to feel comfortable and relaxed in the place you call home.

Repost from @lovelocaldelivery. Did you know today has been named Canada Takeout Day? Help support our local restaurant friends by taking a cooking break tonight and ordering in your favourite dish! Tag a restaurant you want to support today. #takeoutday #support613

Meetings in the time of COVID-19! All of us at Engel & Völkers Ottawa are staying connected through technology to make sure we’re ready to hit the ground running when things go back to normal. Each Thursday, we host a company video call to ensure we’re all getting our proper dose of human face time. It’s so important to do your best to stay connected with the people most important to you!

We’ve been so impressed by the ways our community has managed to stay connected even while we have to be apart. From video chats with friends to simple acts of kindness for our neighbours in need, it’s so important to stay in touch with those around us. Encouraging everyone to stay connected even while we’re in isolation!

Supporting local business is something we’re super passionate about, but especially in these challenging times. The city of Ottawa has put out some tips on how we can keep supporting our local business community even when we’re social distancing. These include: - Order from local businesses online Purchase gift certificates now to use later Order meals for takeout or delivery... Send messages of support on social media - With that last point in mind, leave a comment tagging a local business you want to highlight! Let’s support our Ottawa neighbours. See more

Even though we’re apart, we’re in this together. The health and safety of our clients, friends, and loved ones is our primary concern. In times like these, home has never felt more important. We encourage everyone to enjoy the weekend at homelet us know what activities you’ll be doing to keep busy!

With all of us working remotely, we wanted to share what our home offices look like! Whether we’re cozied up by a window or sitting up at our desk, we’re keeping things running from wherever we call home. Take a look at our set-ups, and feel free to share your home offices with us! @ Ottawa, Ontario

In these unprecedented times, we want our community to know that we are taking the threat of COVID-19 seriously, taking all the necessary steps to keep our clients and others safe. Through steps like foregoing all open houses, providing hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes for showings, and encouraging social distancing through the use of virtual technology to show properties, we are trying to do our part as real estate advisors to ensure we are taking every precaution. Wishing our Ottawa community all the best through these difficult times.
