There are no new pictures to post today as the hard working All-In Construction team has been taking a much deserved weekend off. They are already ahead of schedule, so we have no worries that The Retreat will be ready on time to rent in January.
Being thousands of kilometres/miles away and having to acquire the amenities for the villa, we are relying heavily upon the wonders of the internet and online shopping. Ask us anything about online shopping... we're experts now!
One really challenging thing about being in Canada and equipping a villa in Florida is that some of the US online stores/vendors do not seem to want to our business... go figure! They are insistent that any credit card being used for the purchase have a US billing address. Well, that's kind of difficult when you do not reside in the country, right? But, it's all good. Not all of the online stores have such ridiculous policies and we've been able to provide our business to their competitors -- i.e., the ones who get it that we're all living in a global economy now.
Today, we selected lots of soft and fluffy, hotel quality bath towels and comfy cotton blankets. Next up, we're on the hunt for silky Egyptian cotton sheets for the King and Queen bedrooms.
We have made a commitment to develop a luxury villa with all the modern amenities and we are going to deliver.
BTW, we are not alone in making The Retreat something really special. Stay tuned for a future post about Home Staging Design Pros.
