Finally some pics of our house!


A view on our IKEA kitchen from the living room

Here a few pictures of our house..We bought new furniture, the terrace in front of the living room is finished, a few walls in the garden are ready etc.
We are very happy to live here in Urla! There are still zillion projects on our list, from small things to do, to big project like our garden, but we are limited by our budget and depending on carpenters, gardeners, construction people and most importantly: ourselves... we are not easy decision makers!
Almost every evening we make a long walk in the country side, it is really beautiful, ofcourse construction work is going on, but most of the land is owned by farmers or olive yards.

Above left: our terrace/ right: our kitchen. Look closely to find Femke in one of the drawers!
She loves to play with the (plastic) plates, cups etc in this corner of the kitchen.

We still need nice pictures on the wall in front of you, and ofcoure the fire place is still missing

Above : a view from the kitchen. The fences were necessary as Femke wanted to climb all stairs.
Very dangerous!


Above left, our terrace, where we sat and ate most of the Summer
Right: new finished garden walls, very nice ! We are happy to have found 2 men who
worked like horses. Unfortunately they are in their home town at the moment and
return to Urla end of October! Hopefully they can finish their work before the rain
season starts
