The Retreat by the Lake: Lots of painting going on

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.

Lots of painting going on

Now that the cabinets are in, All-In Construction is moving at lightening speed to paint the interior of the villa. The ceiling's been painted, the walls are almost done and the new baseboards have been painted too. I think they must have been working all weekend.

Brad and Jeff of Home Staging Design Pros picked the interior color/colour for us .... I think it complements both the tile and the cabinets very nicely. The contractor has used Sherwin Williams paint for both the exterior and interior.... seems to be very popular in Florida... good thing, too.... it's an excellent quality paint.

I think the electricals (lighting and fans) are next.
