THE FACES OF FABRIC AWNINGS

Capital City Awning

Capital City Awning designs, manufactures and installs custom fabric awnings and other fabric products for homes, restaurants, storefronts and other businesses.

One of the most popular awnings is the patio or deck awning. It’s like adding another room to a home for relaxed summer living but at a fraction of the cost.

In retail applications, Capital City’s custom-designed awnings provide a distinct image and style that, for many clients, sets them apart from their competitors.

This year, Capital City Awning is celebrating its 70th year of management by the same family. “Our approach to business, and to life in general, is to treat others the same way that we would like to be treated,” says Tim Kellogg, president.

“Most of our customers have been with us a long time, and most of our new customers have been referred to us by their friends and neighbors.”

THE FACES OF FINE RUGS

Kittle’s Furniture Fine Rug Galleries The Kittle’s Rug Galleries opened in May of 2015 at both Kittle’s Furniture Columbus locations, boasting one of the largest selections of rugs in Central Ohio.

“A rug can change the entire look of a room,” says rug expert and regional manager Kevin Radke. “We have rugs for every room, style and budget, ranging from practical to collector pieces. While it’s exciting to see literally thousands of possibilities, it can be overwhelming… so bring your vision and visual aides (paint chips, fabrics, measurements, images) and our rug experts will help narrow the field and select the perfect rug for your home.”

Simply put, luxury real estate is not defined by a price point. It’s about how each individual buyer defines luxury when searching for a home.

Perhaps you prefer property with beautiful vistas or a gourmet kitchen for entertaining. Or maybe you define luxury by having a vibrant city view every evening or a mature neighborhood with tree-lined streets.

A Realtor needs to know you to understand what you want in a home. Alan Hinson has been providing personalized service to clients in Central Ohio for 23 years, working directly with buyers and sellers to get to the heart of how each defines luxury. His focus has always been on building relationships that help match buyers and sellers.
