The kitchen is almost completed. The cupboards are all up, the granite countertops are in, and as beautiful as we had hoped. The contrasting black counters, with the white tiled walls, is, I must say, quite striking. Only a few things need to be done – glass cabinet fronts, pull handles for everything, and, for Luis, and Martín, to decide on the proper size for our garbage “drawer”.
If you can find a photo of the kitchen, there is a large “drawer” that, when you open it, it looks like they put the bottom of the drawer on top- upside down. I sent the photo to Luis yesterday, to inquire about its validity. He assured us that this would be a drawer you pull out and has two recepticals in it- one for organic materials, and the other for non-organic materials.
You know me well enough to realize that this, along with that extra “spice drawer”, next to the oven, was enough to send me over the edge. They have laid out the kitchen just as we wanted, without even asking for the extras. Unbelievable.
Luis is here, as I type this, going over the new beds, what they will look like, and the cost of them. To have all of this finished, it will be a miracle come true. When I am able to update these posts with photos, believe me, I will. So much to do.
