Installing the kitchen

The kitchen furniture and the appliances were brought last week and have started to be installed this week after we solved a couple of problems with some plugs and switches that were not in the right place.









Behind the kitchen, in a separate room, is the laundry-room, where we keep the washing machine, the deep freezer and some more storing space.

The washing-machine, as Susanne wanted, is elevated to make its use more comfy when loading and unloading its 8 Kg capacity.

Staircase (II)

Joseba has already installed the steps of the staircase. It's not completely finished yet but it is a very comfortable staircase. He's doing a good job.

He's also painted the structure of the staircase in white. Sorry for that one of you who didn't want to :-( but we really like it. It is much better integrated with the color of the walls and therefore the entire structure looks much lighter.

The open raisers also let the light from the window upstairs iluminate the floor downstairs as we had planned.

Building the staircase

This week Joseba started to mount the staircase. It's a cute, tailor-made, oak-wooden staircase.





We projected it open so that the light could come down from the big window upstairs to the bottom floor. Therefore Joseba is building it with no risers at all.





We also decided that we wanted it to be white - except the steps -, as the rest of the wood inside the house. But it is such a nice piece of wood that... I don't know. What do you think? You can give us you opinion voting at the survey that you'll find at the top-right corner of this blog.
