Selling Your Lakeland Area Home – Unclutter First

When you are in the market for selling your Lakeland area home, the most important step is to remove unwanted items from unwanted children toys to things you have not touched in months. Keep your home nice and tidy will go a long way and it does not have to be expensive.

Keeping children toys in a box and stowed away during a showing and removing extra clutter will go a long way. After you move into your new home, you and your children can enjoy the toys and treasures again.

As I was talking to Carrie (pictured), a very friendly face behind the counter, knowing her coffee stuff as I experienced it just the other day as she patiently consulted a costumer. She told me that they have daily specials and they also cater to various functions.

You can create your own deli sandwiches for $5.75, their lunch menu range from just $4.25 – $6.25. They also have a fine selections of pastries and delicious baked goods that goes well with any of their gourmet coffee’s.

I have been numerous times at the local coffee house that is locally owned and operated independently by Mitch and Michelle Harvey since 1998. I love this atmosphere anytime I visit at breakfast time on Saturdays hanging out with fellow bloggers or twitter followers, meeting with business folks around lunch or hanging out on Friday nights listening to local artist.

At any time of the day or evening you visit Mitchell’s Coffee House,  you’ll find business people, local residents, college students and you don’t feel rushed – a totally relaxing though electrifying atmosphere.

A big plus for downtown restaurants is they offer free WiFi for internet surfers and business folks like myself. They also have a second location at MidFlorida Tower, 129 South Kentucky Ave, Lakeland, FL 33801. Telephone (863) 802-6866.
