1. Furniture is American Freight in Ocala on 17th St. Reasonable prices and very good quality for decorating, on the cheap. It's brand new and "Made In America", (85% of what they sell). I believe in North Carolina.
2. Curtain rods and ceiling fans - I would used handyman Don Cunningham.
Charges $40/hour, but works fast and is very reasonable.
3. Interior painting can be done by Omar. He ads, can be found in the Daily Sun classified section. I haven't used him, as I will need to check out another recommendation from my next door neighbors. Another person on TOTV has thought highly of Omar's painting.
4. If you south of 466, "Deans Landscaping". I haven't used him as I am north of 466, but a person who I trust, uses him. I respect his input and recommendations.
5. South of 466, Brighthouse is one option and Comcast is the other. If you are into sports, Directv is the best option. Internet and phone, can be Comcast or CenturyLink. You will have to decide based on which service may be faster and suited for your particular computer use. If you load heavy files and want to stream video, I would go with Comcast.
6. Flooring - No clue.

I am not home, so I can't provide any phone numbers but I would suggest you look under, "Contractors and Vendors", Services. You will want to see what other's have to say about all vendors they have used.

I hope this helps!
