Bathroom...Complete!

06/30/06 - San Miguel de Allende, MX

An update on the construction progress as we prepare to hit the road for our next North American/European adventure

Since our return from our fateful trip to Puebla earlier this month and Caroline's full recovery following a relapse, we have been feverishly renewing our immigration documents, planning our next 2-1/2 month trip to Europe, finishing our remodeling projects and putting the finishing touches on the San Miguel condo.  The pressure's on, since there are  three home exchange couples who will be staying here during our 6-month absence from Mexico while we traipse about Europe and the US: Conor and Clare from Scotland, Loren and Art from NYC (Brooklyn) and our Dutch friends Daniel and Leonne will all be calling this place home for a couple weeks or so this summer and fall.  There have been some tense, worrisome times, but we feel confident that all will be well as we prepare to leave this Tuesday, the 4th of July.  The kitchen is looking great and we are very excited to see the completed countertops in the next couple of days.  Oh, and it will be really cool to have the stove and dishwasher installed (and removed from the living room) too.

 

Although the bathroom remodel was technically finished prior to our return from Europe in May, we just finished outfitting it with a custom toilet paper holder (ingeniously designed by Scott for smooth and easy rolling), hand towel bar and towel rack (a perfect copy of a Pottery Barn design - sshhh, don't tell anyone! - in a custom size and finish and for half the price) skillfully fabricated and installed by our wonderful and hardworking ironworker.  Bravo, Samuel!  Stay tuned for the grand unveiling of our fabulous new kitchen!
