Another plan...

Yes, somehow, in between bouts this past weekend of me imitating Roberto Downey Jr. as Garden Iron Man.... I had just bought a super-dooper $800 ECHO weed-whacker to fell crotch high grass with each sweep of the mighty Japanese machine's blades. Admittedly, I did let the stuff get to a bit too tall but, eest beeen rayning aye lowt hereh... while The Anonymous Person attempted his rendition of Tom Cruise with a samarai-esque hedge trimmer down at... where else? The Hedge and where The Dog fears to tread. By the way, The Canine slept & sunbathed... we came to A Collective & Definitive Understanding of just how the Upstairs Apartment should be come this Christmas 2010. Oddly, it required little argument. I said Yes to every suggestion emanating out of Mr. Anonymous' mouth. For I know, as a fact, The Real Big Battle will be over where the Kitchen goes in the downstairs Main House and, it ain't goin' t' be where Mr. Anonymous thinks it is going. Tech problems. Ha! And, Ha! again. I have...finally... learned to Pick & Choose My Crucial Skirmishes et al. So now, let's get on with Our Tour...
a vine-covered pergola will run across this side of the Upstairs Apartment. Naturally, all that construction paraphernalia will be gone, gone, gone by July!!! 

the Terrace above the Portico will be fitted with floor tiles and a wrought-iron railing will be installed. Then, a glicine vine will scale up the facade... probably when I am DEAD... dammit...

the Kitchen will be at the old fireplace on the right in the photo. In that niche next to the window has a stone trogolo, which will be the Kitchen's sink. The rest of the area in front of the simple kitchen counter will be the Sala da Pranzo. And, in front of the main door, on the left in the photo, will be a wood burning fireplace...  kind of box with a metal flue... for the Salotto...

you won't see that window because, there will be a wall to cordon-off a Bathroom. There will be a Sleeping Loft above. The niche in the corner on the left will be for the sink. The shower will be against the wall to the right of the window in its own niche created by another wall to guide folk right into...

the Bedroom and to the Terrace beyond.  That dropped-ceiling is already gone, gone, gone!!!

Wood floors, stuccoed walls painted either a PETROLIO  or OCHRE. I had threatened PINK but, why annoy Mr. Anonymous? He was so ruthless with that Hedge. Anyway, he might have really gone for PINK.
Now, let's see if we can maintain Our Agreement without further changes. Gads.
