Creating my new home office~ will a little help from my hubby!

I have a new "home office" well kinda sorda new, Tim shampooed the carpet & did a fantastic job on the new paint and trim work... so to me, we created a "NEW HOME OFFICE"

Today was the first day I have not had any Real Estate appointments (busy days for which I'm thankful for) so I got to spend some time playing in my new office space... I walked around the house and checked in storage cabinets searching for just the right accessories I wanted to place in and around my office, once I had it completed (minus window treatments) I looked around and was pleased! A couple hours later it dawned on me why I felt so pleased with my new space... I filled it with memories from past shopping trips, special buyers who gave me a kind Thank You token and cherished gifts from those who love me!

My lamp is from our sister trip to South Haven, Michigan a couple years ago along with my wall plates that I just love! My pretty crystal bird tea light holder is from my sister Kristi for my Birthday, my cup and saucer is from my friend and relative Sandy, I decided it held my business cards with class, my plant is from Ed and Rebecca who purchased a wonderful North Side home this summer, my picture on the wall and my lilac chair is from a Relay for Life fundraiser a few years back, I knew I would eventually find a good place for them... I must say I kinda liked making my office a little feminine and girlie!

I also have a bookcase I bought from one of our sellers, Lynn... it now holds my books, paper work and files along with a couple Real Estate awards that I never had anywhere to display, whooo hooo for me it is all coming together, I think I'm going to like it here!

Taking good care of my buyers and sellers will be even more pleasant now, call me if I can be of any Real Estate help to you or someone you know who may be ready to purchase or ready to sell, Thanks a bunch, Karol

Defiance area homes with dining rooms for sale... what would your dining room have to say?

Defiance area homes sell better when they offer a little more formal space called "The Dining Room" If your dining room could talk, what would it have to say?

When I was growing up our Defiance family home had a dining room, most of the time it was a 'walk through" space to get to the kitchen or the living room. We used the dining room table as our homework area, the cat loved the dining room table, it held both our Easter Baskets and our school books! I can remember my graduation cake and it was proudly displayed on our dining room table along with many Thanksgiving dinners! Oh the conversations a dining room table must hear...

If you are searching for a home with a dining room Realty Five of Defiace has many of them for sale, we can't include the conversations & the memories a dining room offers but we would love to get you started with a family space for special dinners & special guests around the table!

Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays will be upon us soon, give us a call, text, email or facebook or click to visit us at www.realtyfive.com we would love to get your family around the dining room table soon!

40th Annual Vince Polce Marching Band Spectacular~

Late Saturday afternoon the sun came out making the evening a little bit better at Defiance High School.
Chilly at the 40th Band Spectacular? Yes... but not all that bad considering the way the day started! Worth braving the cool temps and cold stadium bleachers? Yes... the opportunity to watch 6 marching bands is always a great night at DHS and has been for the past 40 years!

This years Feature Band was The Bowling Green State University Falcon Marching Band. How often can a marching band lover see a University Band perform for $6.00? The sights and sounds was awesome as they played and marched to a Beatles Tribute which included an appearance from Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band... Kudos to BG, we really enjoyed your bands performance!

One of the many things I got to witness last night was the "spirit of high school and college students" chearing & rooting for each other & showing appreciation for each bands performance, whoooo hoooo's and shouts of excitement was herd from students as the crowd watched 6 bands with 6 different styles of marching, dance routines, batons with fire and flags whipping and twirling under the stadium lights all on a very wet and muddy football field!

Thanks to the Tinora Marching Band, Coldwater, Clay, Sylvania Northview and Defiance Marching Band of Class for a fantastic fall evening of musical entertainment!!!
