exciting.” Blanchard will have to execute renova- tions suggested by Rushforth and award- winning designer, Penny Southam, who will be on hand to help get them through the challenges and mishaps along the way. The yoga instructor, who operates Spirit Tree Yoga in Cornwall, already knows what area of her two-storey, three-bedroom home she would like to renovate – her cramped and nearly counter-less kitchen. “It’s hard to cook when you have no coun- ter space,” she lamented during an inter- view with The Journal. And she isn’t worried that the show’s hosts may have different ideas for her home, based on

Lisa Blanchard has been dreaming of ren- ovating his old Courtauld’s house in Corn- wall’s east end every since she bought it two years ago. Thanks to a new home renovation television show, she is about to get that opportunity. Blanchard’s river-view home south of Montreal Road on Kirkman Court, just east of L’Heritage high school, has been chosen for W Network’s home renovation show All For Nothing? Blanchard and her team of volunteers will begin 13 gruel- ing days of renova- tions on Oct. 7 in a competition which challenges her to complete the work with as little of her own cash as possible to avoid hurting her bottom line. The show will pit Blanchard against an- other homeowner to determine who can increase their home value the most while spending the least amount of cash. Any money spent by the homeowner comes off the final appraisal of the home’s value and could be the difference between winning or losing. The seller with the highest increase in value at the end of two weeks wins the commission-free listing services of expert realtor and host, Paul Rushforth. “It’s going to be a lot of work though,” said Blanchard. “It’s going to be tough, but very

One of her first tasks will be assembling a team of volunteers to help out with the ren- ovation work. She also must find suppliers willing to donate material for renovations. “I love this house. I absolutely love it,” Blanchard said. The end goal, however, when the work is done and the show is over, is to put the house up for sale. With four kids in her blended family with her partner Rene Bourget, she needs to up- size to keep the family all under one roof. She is hoping to find a four-bedroom, open-concept home to replace her cramped quarters. The show will air early in the new year on the W Network.
