Before and after...examples...
We have had the house since 2005. And we have renovated and made improvements all along. Actually it wasn't really liveable at first...even if we did stay here. We haven't had very much money, and we have made a point to keep the heart and history of our house. But some things just have had to go.
Our 'private' kitchen: we decided to put it on the second floor, and I knew I wanted a small balcony out to the street.

When I used to go to warmer countries on vacation I envied people living in the old buildings in the cities. Around 2 p.m. you could smell garlic and fresch seafood cooking, hear the sounds of tables being set behind shades, chairs being put out, glasses clink...families talk and laugh together...
Cútar is a small village. But my kitchen is on the 2nd floor. Pilar cooks across the alley, and often we do the dishes at the same times. Her mom, Getrudis, watches soap operas- novelas - during siesta.
The doors and the reeling for the balcony was bought used, the pink high chair remind me of the traces of pink we found in the old ceiling. It's been sitting out all winter. I should oil the seat again.
