WELCOME

Welcome to our blog about our Orlando vacation villa: The Retreat by the Lake. Here we will be posting updates about the newly renovated house and its availability as a rental villa when we are unable to be there ourselves.
We started this blog in the middle of November, 2010 to chronicle the renovation of the villa. Please see the archive (lower left) to read all about the how the reno went and how The Retreat became a luxury 5-star vacation home where you could stay on your next trip to Orlando to visit the awesome theme parks, to enjoy the many wonderful golf courses in the area, to watch baseball spring training, or for a pre- or post-cruise excursion.
Please feel free to leave your comments about our postings... we'd love to hear from you and what you think about The Retreat.

I love this kitchen!

love the glass block feature
And the kitchen cabinets are now in....they look so nice!  We never had a chance to see the cabinets in a showroom....we relied upon Kenny's recommendation and, wow, was he right.  They're perfect.





awaiting the sink and new faucet
Brad, of Home Staging Design Pros, recommended the countertop....what a great choice.  It goes perfectly with the cabinets, don't you think? The counters have a beautiful bevelled edge and all the corners are clipped... as I mentioned in an earlier post, this house is all about angles and the countertops are in keeping with this theme.



lots and lots of cupboard space
All of the cabinet pulls are stainless steel and will match the new appliances that will be installed later.  Joe told me today that we're one cabinet pull short... my mistake, because I ordered them.  Oh well, there's another one on its way ... unfortunately the shipping costs are more than the price of that one piece of hardware  :(
