The Retaining Walls


Marcos and Papa did an excellent job on the retaining walls. Paola and I did most of the landscaping. We purchased supplies to replace the roof so I will post a new photo once that's complete.

The Upstairs Bathroom - Completed


The upstairs bathroom is finally complete after a lot of hard work. Marcos did an amazing job executing my vision and I couldn't be more impressed by him. I can't walk past the room without glancing in.
















We had a lot of trouble finding a mirror that would actually fit the space between the sconces which I insisted on. By pure luck, we came across this brushed nickel one at BB&B and it honestly won't budge an inch between the sconces and tile work beneath.














I have a picture to hang on this little piece of wall - will post again once it's in place.

















We decided on a roman shade rather than a curtain - I think it looks cleaner and it won't get scuzzy from inevitable moisture.
















I love baskets and rolled towels!


















Marcos built these shelves. They're pretty amazing, finding a basket that was the perfect (small enough) size... NOT so amazing. But I did it!
















The natural slate floor just might be my absolute favorite part of the room.

















We love our subway tile, soaking tub and recessed cubbyholes!

















The not-so-exciting view into our upstairs landing.


















& the towel hook on the door completes the tour!
