Per request, we are dedicating this post to those of you curious to see our home beyond the pingtai laden with drying laundry. One note — I WILL be painting the living area walls some fabulous shade of butternut or terra cotta (just as soon as I figure out how to buy paint and supplies), so please don’t worry that I’ve suddenly become enamoured with white walls – I haven’t.

These are all pictures of our main living area. A few comments – the pillows and red chair slipcover were made by an amazing local seamstress – odd looking shelving unit is actually the tops of two wardrobes stacked with a board on top, covered by an old curtain I brought from home. We store the kids books & games here. Dining table and chairs are recent purchases (everything else was provided) – again, very inexpensive. Tapestries and art prints came in the suitcases from home!

These pictures are from the kids rooms. The duvets in the boy’s room and the lavender gingham curtains in the girl’s room were made by the same wonderful seamstress who did the other pieces.

A few kitchen pictures. The curtain rod was very generously installed by a local maintenance person (we have to have help as the walls are either plaster over concrete or tile over concrete) – unfortunately, he affixed it so well that the rod can’t come off the brackets. So, I wasn’t able to use the curtains I brought from home – what you see here is actually two very cheap sheers draped over the pole and held with rubber bands. Ah!

Finally, the view coming and going from our front door. We’d love to show you around in person. Come visit!
