Welcome to MIDWEEK with MIDTOWN: Episode 7!

Do you know someone who has always dreamed about living on the water? Whether that is you, or someone you know, this cozy cottage could be the answer!

Think about the joy of sipping your coffee as the sun sets, as you take in the 275 feet wide view you have of Lake Erie. When the sun is tucked away, you'll step inside to a home that has been completely renovated.

If we had to sum this little slice of heaven up in one word, NEW would be it.

Here is a list of the NEW that this cottage has received recently:

• New kitchen (with Corian countertops AND a pantry)
• New bath
• New windows
• New electric
• New plumbing
• New roof
• New back deck (see aforementioned coffee sipping experience)
• New hand-painted floors

And just when you think the story about this gem can't get any better, look out!

If you, or someone visiting you has an RV? You guessed it...this cottage comes with an RV hook-up that has electric and sewer capabilities for it.

Are you the entertaining type? Perfect. This property has room to park 8-10 cars for those fun summer nights when family and friends gather for a BBQ.

And what about those super-rainy springs that tend to find us in WNY? Well, lucky for you, this cottage has new drainage around it.

With a cute storage shed to compliment the cottage, and lots of room to add on to the cottage, should you so choose in the future, this property is the answer to someone's prayers about owning a home on the water.

And if all of those amenities haven't completely captured your heart today, this last little fun fact just might. In two words...LOW TAXES.

We thought you'd like that!

We would love to walk the property with you, and see if what we know to be true about it, is a fit for all you were looking for.

Have a fantastic rest of your week.

Give us a call soon (716-672-2323) to set up your appointment to see this cozy little cottage on Lake Erie.

We look forward to hearing from, and meeting you, soon!

List your home...

Join us in listing it among the many things we can be thankful for. 

• A roof over our heads means we are cared for and protected.
• Running water, and a place to store the many food items that will feed our family and friends today, means we are nourished.
• We can set the heat to the exact comfort we want.
• We'll sit back with our feet up & relax after Turkey dinner and watch football in a cozy living room.
• Whoever is making the meal has music playing in the background bringing all the sounds of the season to the home.
• The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade entertains the kids and adults alike.
• The end of the day will be a reminder that we all have so much to be thankful and grateful for.

Today...

Join us in listing your home as a reminder on your heart that we are all so very, very lucky to live in the communities that we do.

Welcome back to our MIDWEEK with MIDTOWN, and welcome home to all of you who are new to our weekly blog post! 

Last week we talked about 3 fun ways to decorate your home for the holidays. Specifically, we talked about decorating the inside of your home. This week, we'll stick with the decorating theme, but turn our attention to the outside of your home.

Have you ever driven by a home and thought that it looked so warm and inviting? We've all seen "those" houses, and lamented about how we'd love to do the same thing, if we only had the time to do it!

This week's episode will offer some cool exterior decorating tips that don't have to monopolize your time, or break the bank for it to become a reality.

3 cheerful, colorful, and creative ways to decorate the outside of your home for Thanksgiving. 
​

• Chalkboard Easel: You can use a small chalkboard easel that sits on a table by your front door, or a stand-alone one that nestles into a corner on your porch. These are fun because you can change the message, design, and colors as often as you like. Use them to welcome guests to your dinner party, or leave cute little messages to welcome the kiddos home from school. The key to success here? HAVE FUN!

 

• Lightbulbs: There are more colors of lightbulbs than ever before out there to decorate with. Many of them have a special cause they raise awareness to by having that color illuminated on your porch. Use your friend google first, to be sure you agree with the message the color you are thinking of using stands for. If you do, you might be surprised the difference that different colors of light could bring to your home's appearance. 

 

• Throw Pillows: If you have furniture by the entrance to your home, on your porch, etc...throw pillows are a super cute way to add warmth, color, and unique design to your home's exterior. Find them on the clearance rack at a discount chain store, or if you are the super-crafty-type, grab some clearance fabric and make your own. Swap them out from time to time to keep it fresh. And it's always a good idea to think about bringing them indoors if it is going to be really rainy or windy out. They'll last longer, and not end up being lawn ornaments for your neighbor. :)

Cheerful. Colorful. Creative.

Chalkboard Easel. Lightbulbs. Throw Pillows.

Have fun coming up with fun sayings, creating inviting moods, and expressing your uniqueness and style this Thanksgiving holiday season!

If you give any of these ideas a whirl, we sure would LOVE to see them!

Episode 3 of "Midweek With Midtown" is focused on a few ways that you can decorate your home for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

We know that HGTV, Better Homes & Gardens, and so many other outlets have AMAZING displays of holiday decor. We also know that the look they create can feel like you need an entire crew to pull it off for your home. We have 3 super easy ways you can bring a cute holiday display to life in your home all on your own. You might even find your family wants to jump in and create these ideas with you as a family night activity!

Enter clever.

Enter Midweek With Midtown: Episode 3.

Simple. Warm. Inviting.

Here are 3 ways you can make your home become just that for Thanksgiving.

• PUMPKINS: Just because Halloween is over doesn't mean that pumpkins are out of style, or by the curb. In fact, many places have them deeply discounted, and that means you cash in for your Turkey Day celebration. Gourds and small pumpkins make for inviting centerpieces as you prepare to gather for your family's meal.
• APPLES & GREENERY: Another centerpiece favorite, or even mantle and table runner display, is the use of apples and finely trimmed greenery. Space them out to create the cozy surroundings you are after where your family and friends gather.
• KRAFT PAPER: This is one of our favorites. Whether you use this as a table runner, table cloth, or individual placemats, it allows you the creativity to use markers, chalk, or crayons to personalize your family's holiday meal experience.

Simple. Warm. Inviting.

Pumpkins. Apples & Greenery. Craft Paper.

Enjoy your holiday preparation!

Slow down, and be present each step of the way...

That, after all, is the joy in the holiday.
