Keeping Its Beauty
The married couple decided to do the renovations themselves. The kitchen was the first room on their list since it needed a lot of work. Manuel thought about how the house had always been in the family. His grandparents inherited it just like he did.
Because of how old the house was, it had a very traditional Mayan aesthetic. Even if Manuel needed to change a few things to keep it fairly modern, he wanted to honor his ancestors and keep its original beauty.
