Join us for the Annual Hall & Hunter Realtors Estate Sale benefiting Habitat for Humanity in partnership with Changing Places Moving Compan
Birmingham, MI — On September 9, 2017 hundreds of buyers and collectors from all over the tri-county area will have their pick of some amazing collectibles, antiques, and quality furniture at the annual Hall & Hunter Realtors Estate Sale. Now in its 13th year, this annual event benefits Habitat for Humanity of Oakland County and to date, has raised more than $250,000 dollars to help local families achieve their dream of owning their own, affordable home. Held under a giant tent at the Hall & Hunter Realtors office, located at 442 S. Old Woodward Avenue in Birmingham, the event runs from 9am to 4pm and shoppers are encouraged to get there early.
The annual Hall & Hunter Estate Sale has grown to become a full year’s endeavor. Through a unique partnership with Changing Places Moving Company of Waterford, donated items are collected throughout the year from Hall & Hunter clients, agents and many other community friends. The donations are then stored in the Changing Places warehouse and are delivered to the offices of Hall & Hunter in downtown Birmingham just prior to the sale.
For several days prior to the big sale, dozens of Hall & Hunter volunteers roll up their sleeves to help set up and stage the items in our giant white tent. Lori Stefek of Stefek’s Auctioneers & Appraisers generously donates her merchandising expertise to accurately price, stage and prepare for the one-of-a-kind day-long sale. Other major sponsors include Bank of Ann Arbor, Equity Title, and Downtown Publications.

Transform your small patio into a relaxing retreat
in Blog /by Social Hall & HunterHGTV shares some tips on how to transform a small patio into a relaxing retreat. With the right furniture and accessories, even the smallest patio can become an inviting, private escape. Try these ideas to transform your underused patio into a secluded oasis for lounging and entreating.
1.Create layers of comfort: Dress your patio from top to bottom to make even the smallest space feel like an inviting retreat. Add lushness with layered outdoor rugs, throw pillows, greenery and string lights.
2. Hang curtains: Hanging curtains is an inexpensive and easy way to create a temporary wall — perfect for renters and anyone else whose neighbors are a bit too close for comfort. Flowing, gauzy fabric softens this patio while adding privacy.
3. Make a Statement With Lighting: Good lighting will not only help you enjoy your patio after the sun goes down but will also draw your eye vertically — important in a small space. This rattan pendant light makes a statement and shines a glow on the conversation area. Make sure to use outdoor cords and light bulbs
4. Boost Privacy: Creating a sense of enclosure in your outdoor room will make it feel like a secluded oasis. Use privacy screen to block a bad view or nosey neighbors. Upcycle some old shutters and a few hinges into a folding partition.
5.Wheel out a bar cart: If you don’t have room for an outdoor kitchen, a bar cart can be just as useful. You can easily roll it from indoors to outside, keeping your drinks and appetizers within arm’s reach.
