Really beautiful Judy! The tile work is gorgeous and you have real overhead kitchen cabinets... and bathroom cabinets. You guys have done a great job!

We had a "professional" install the first tile and it looked lovely, but had some low places. Since then our bricklayer has laid the tile in all the rooms and has done a great job. We had the same experience with the plaster. We are indeed fortunate to have such a experienced and competent bricklayer.

When we moved to Mexico we brought all the kitchen cabinets with us. We bought the set of bathroom cabinets from a cabinet maker in K.C. They were custom-made, but then not delivered for some reason so we bought them reasonably. I stained and varnished those.

Now we're in the process of bringing back a couple of unfinished cabinets each time we go to the States for the laundryroom.

It's been a long time since we've given you any updates on our construction. Our living room sat in an unfinished state for a long time, due to a various reasons. We still need glass in the upper windows, but finally got the sheet rock on the cathedral ceiling, knock-down plaster on the walls, walls painted and the tile laid (the biggest job). We left the entrance ceiling “rustico”. Believe it or not, it was I who climbed up on the scaffolding to give that ceiling two coats of sealer and painted the “vigetes.”
