New plans for house!

Hi, haven't posted for awhile....we are having a wonderful time....wanted to wait until we got some final plans for interior of house.  We met with Joe and we think we are good with final plans for the interior of our house.  We have made it a full two bedroom.  While we LOVED the dramatic sky high entry it was not practical for guests and for future rental potential.  So....we now have a full two story with two full baths and second balcony off guest bedroom for view to Cancun.

We told Domingo we wanted a more rustic feel to the house...we love the modern idea but in reality its not us.  We really really loved the traditional colonial feel to the houses in Merida with as much character as possible in a new home.

We have asked for wooden beams on the ceilings of the first floor, second floor to be decided.  We also have decided on polished concrete floors! Love that...also will probably be scratching the rock wall as well.  We are thinking it might be two dark and make it seems smaller without the super high ceiling.  By adding the wooden beams I think we will get the character we want and we are also having a couple of arched doorways as well.

Interior design of kitchen and bathrooms to come!  Pretty sure I know what I want in the kitchen been going on line to see different kitchen design and have found a couple I love...

The owner of property is flying in today and will be meeting to sign papers today or tomorrow...so then it will be officially ours!  Next door neighbor has started to tear down building on his property and has taken down one side of our house in the process which is fine less for us to do.  Surveyor will be out this week to nail down property lines as well.

Here are some pics of property as is now in semi tear down state.  At least you can see the view now!!!

Outside Street Facade - very close to what we want with a few tweeks we will be there!

Soooooo thats where we are now! We leave Isla on the 24th which will be painful! Gotto go back to work! We hope to return about 6-8 weeks before the house interior is finished so we can pick out tile, fixtures, appliances...all the FUN stuff!  Sooooooo excited to furnish this house!  Joe has told us it will be ready by Xmas....wowee what a present that will be! Ciao!
