Making Moves - Finishings to Zamzam Riad

Some update photos of the Riad. It has been like getting blood out of a stone working with our carpenter, so this photo celebrates railings he has put in that we have been waiting a year for.
The stairs are done and evened out which is great as they are much easier to go up and down. Riad stairs are very steep so we used bejmat on them so that no one slips.
You can see here our celebrated Menzah, which is a cedar balcony on the master suite. You can also see the columns now tadelakt in brown and the hand rails have gone on.
Some of the Khokas have gone in, they are solid and pretty heavy. They had to be attached to my beautiful sculpted plaster work which made me nearly pass out, as the carpenter with a hammer in his hand walked over. STOP I shouted. God knows what he would have done if I hadn't been there.

Choosing paint colours now which I find so difficult, it is so easy to end up with the same colour everywhere. Full steam ahead now for our first guest 22 October. All toilets now working, pool and fountain tested yesterday as well, all working. Now awaiting final tadelakt, sealant for the floors and then the fabric finishes. So much to bring together now and with Ramadan starting next week. School also starts though so I will have more time to charge around.

I added some stunning wedding blankets to the Zamzam Boutique yesterday, so click in and have a look!
