Locking Up More Details

We’ve been MIA planning our latest remixto brunch (we have some photos posted and even a video), but after a couple days rest, we’re back and ready to go.

Today we swung by Galeria Tataya, a fantastic art gallery located on Calle 72 between 53 and 55 near Plaza Santiago. Our friends François and Gerardo travel around the country in pursuit of the best arts and crafts, and lovingly ship them back to Mérida for all of us to purchase and enjoy.

The reason for our visit was to photograph the door lock pictured below.

Hand made from wrought iron, our plan is to order modified versions of the lock and install them on most of our colonial and steel-screened doors throughout the house. They will be a simple yet elegant solution to keeping our doors closed and secured.

Best of all, because they are made of a solid piece of metal, we won’t have to deal with those annoying chains found on typical door locks here in Mérida that swing to and fro, getting in the way of doors closing properly.
