We have started shopping for various things for the apartment. We ordered, and received, a new black under mount kitchen sink. It will have a black faucet, and black spigot for the UV filtered water from which we will be able to drink fresh water. You all know the stories about drinking the water here in Mexico. It has not been exaggerated. More about that another time.
We bought handles for the bedroom doors today at Home Depot. Handles instead of knobs. (This was after the harrowing ride through the bad neighborhoods. Reference the post “Driving around”). We have both wanted handles on the doors for, well, forever. Here was our opportunity, at last, and we took it. Looked, again, for a black washer and dryer, but with little luck. Not sure we will be able to find them here in the city. Cannot remember if we saw them at Sam’s or not. Hmmmm. I will let you know how that turns out another day.
So, the countertops will be a dark, almost black, granite, like in the photo below. The kitchen cabinets should, we hope, look quite a bit like the bottom picture, oak, and all the way to the ceiling, with glass inserts. The backsplash and flooring are the same white tile you can see in the pictures of the living room, in an earlier post, so we thought a black sink and faucet duo, with the black granite and white backsplash would be pretty. Then, with the oak cabinets- well, we think it will be rather stunning. The kitchen, at present, is rather compact. We hope that with all of the changes we are making it will open it up some, or at least be easier to cook in than the original layout. I will let you know. For now, we will keep on shopping.
