After 15 months, the Hardaway Cottage is finally ready. We purchased the house in March of 2017 and it is ready to rent June 13, 2018. Last year posts were regular and steady. Then…nothing. Everything stopped. Life is what happens while we are making other plans. I had a contract that occupied my time leaving only 2-3 days each month to work from January through March. Our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters came to help kick start the final stage in April. That help allowed us to “see the end” and move on to complete the project. I ended up living in the house for 8 weeks to complete everything. Beth came down after school was out and stayed for 2 weeks.’
While there is a small punch list left, our first guests arrived on June 13. My granddaughters came down to gift them a tour and history of the house. Then went home and collapsed. The Hardaway has become a special place to us. Beth has done her magic again and decorated perfectly in a combination of Art Deco features and modern comfort. I ended up doing a good bit of building to customize rooms and furniture. I enjoy it. Here are some pictures of some of my favorite features.
