Before we bought our current home, we looked at tons of houses - the abode we were selling was on the market for 18 months, so we had plenty of time. We live in an

Чудо-крышечка с мозаикой на месте! Кусочки, приклеенные ПВА, не отвалились. Темно-коричневой затирки не нашлось, была бежевая - взяла ее. Затертые швы сверху просто покрасила коричневой акриловой краской. Дала высохнуть и отмыла. Получилось в тему подоконника, который тоже из мозаики. Мозаика была приклеена на обычный пластиковый подоконник с помощью все той же грунтовки Бетоконтакт. Дубовую рамку муж приколотил заранее. Этому окну не хватает только занавески. Как привыкну к обязанностям мамы, тут же ее сошью =)

Mexican Tile added to inside of windows. Guests use the blackboard wall to record good meals out. I split a trim piece to add a border to main tile yes, it's wonky! Counters changed to Carrera Marble....a good way to age your house quickly Old science class stools. I've had a little hiatus from blogging for the past few weeks. We've been away in Florida and I used that time to put my kitchen and house back together after the big leak. Now were are back home, I thought I would post some photos of our Florida kitchen now that the water damage and mold has been remedied. I only made subtle changes since the cabinets were rebuilt and the faces re-used. The counters were changed to Carrera after the granite got broken. The jury is still out on that one. Lots of etching despite being sealed and the good part is, I wanted it to more authentic to the age of the house and I should accomplish that in about 3 weeks. The most noticeable change is the window tile.I decided to tile the inside of the windows because they are 5" deep and I wanted to add some Spanish touches to the house. The downstairs of this house has been all re-done and no original features remain. So I added some that are authentic to me. I bought authentic handmade Mexican tile that is literally set out in the sun to dry (the dog prints will prove that) and that means it is pretty wonky.....Tile Guy was patient and very accommodating and he dis a very nice job, given the wonkiness. We split a trim piece in half to edge the hand painted main tiles and we left the window sill in marble. TO me, it looks like it could have been original to the house and because we don't need a blind there, the whole window shows nicely. We extended the counter on the island by 11" to made room for bar stools. These we bought at Paper Street Market on Central Ave in St. Petersburg. They are old science stools. One was orange and one was greenish. I sanded them down and sprayed them white. While I was there, I visited a little beach side apartment my friend has just bought. I will post photos later this week.
