Hello Valley Village neighbors and surrounding friends!
I know that those of us that are not deemed "essential" workers have been cooped up at home for quite some time! Coldwell Banker® and I hope that you and those you love are staying safe and keeping busy. All over the world, people are finding creative ways to be productive at home – to get things done around the house, delve into those self-betterment activities they always think about but never have a chance to explore, and enjoy some good old-fashioned quality time with the family.
If you’ve already run through your own list of to-dos to keep everybody in your household happy and healthy, I hope you’ll find some renewed inspiration in the project guide we’ve put together.
