The soap dish holds a nylon scrubber for cleaning the sinks with the white bleach powder cleanser.
If the sink is to the right then the soap bottles are to the top right corner and if the sink is to the left the soap bottles are to the top left corner.
I decided not to have juice glasses in the cabinets above the sinks. Instead the juice glass will be kept in a cabinet in the Cafe. This means that there are old fashion glasses on the upper shelf. There are nine glasses a foot and there are 5 feet of glasses. The pitchers are at the end of the glasses and they are clear depressed glass pitchers. Depressed glass is embossed.

There is a brick column at the beginning of the 7 foot outside wall of the luggage closet and at the end. This means there is 4 feet space in between the columns.

The column is 1 1/2 feet wide and 1 foot out from the wall. There is a column both sides of the corner with a diagonal brick at the corner. Around the corner there is 8 foot brick wall continues each side. At the end of the 8 feet the front wall comes out 2 feet into the corridor. This 2 feet extension is 36 feet long and this is the front of the Cafe. There is a 2 feet x 2 feet column where the extension comes out. this means there are 6 1/2 feet wall in between the corner and the extension. Altogether including the columns the wall from the corner to the 2 feet extension , the walls are 9 1/2 feet.
The front of the Cafe is wall papered with medium brown vinyl wallpaper.
The entrance door to the Cafe is opposite the center wall of the shoe closet room. The entrance to the Cafe is recessed 3 1/2 feet. then the entrance doors are set in this recessed area.

If it is not too crowded there would be a brown stained Mosque bench centered under the middle Cafe window. The windows have antique brass grids that are 4 inch x 4inch size. There are ornate moldings around the windows. The benches are about 1 /12 feet wide. I think the outside wall of the luggage closets and the front of the shoe closet room should be recessed 1 foot so that the corridor is 8 feet wide here.

I decided that the ceramic floor tiles of the lower level corridors should be different than the white tiles with dark brown specks.. The tiles are Moroccan design ceramic floor tiles. The tiles are white background with wine, leaf green and medium brown design. There are matching ceramic tile moldings at the bottom of the walls and columns that are low lustre white or stucco columns. This will be more colorful. The walk thru tiles are still low lustre white.
The credenzas in the front corridor are brown stain with leaf green enamel hand painted design.

First I decided that the center light fixture in the front corridor should also be a lantern. The lantern is the same as the ones in the shoe closet. The laterns in the shoe closet are 4 feet in from the front and back walls of the room. The lanterns are centered with the 8 1/2 foot walls to the left and right of the entrance doors to the shoe closet. The fan only has a light fixture if there is one to match the lanterns. The switches for the fan and light fixture are located to the right of the right entrance door to the shoe closet. Next to the dimmer switches there is the switch for the right side lanterns.

There are V sconce on the back brick columns. They are 5 feet high and they are centered. The right and left switches also control the V sconces.

I decided that the floor tiles of the lower level corridors should stay white tiles with dark brown specks. This will look better. That's the back corridor, the right and left side corridors and the front corridor. The light above the Cafe entrance is antique brass light fixture with wine color bulb. Instead of the center lantern the light fixture is round antique brass mosaic light fixture.
The credenzas are brown stain with wine color enamel hand painted design.
The glass in the kitchen cabinet doors is shatter proof glass.
The luggage closet. The luggage units have wood across the back and sides. This way the walls will not get scratched up. The suitcases go into the slots long ways so the handels face out of the slots.
The shoe closet carpet is rectangle and is 14 feet x 27 feet size.
The shoe closet ceiling is brown stained planked.
There is a 1 1/2 foot x 1 1/2 foot ornate brick column in each of the back right and left corners of the back wall. Then working toward the center of the wall there is a 10 foot cabinets each side. These are the boy's cabinets and they are 2 1/2 feet wide x 5 feet high. the doors are 1 foot wide. Then there is another 1 1/2 foot x 1/ 1/2 foot ornate column. And then there is a 6 feet high x 10 feet wide center cabinet for storage. There are four 2 feet wide drawers along the bottom of the cabinet. The drawers are for Maboto and Abdul.
The center cabinets are 2 1/2 feet wide with 1 foot wide doors.
There are cabinets along the front wall. They go to the right and left to the corner by the luggage closet. At the corner the wall turns into the room and is 1 1/4 wide.

They are 3 1/2 feet wide and 5 feet high. The doors are 1 1/2 feet wide. The cabinets go to the back corner columns.

The doors to the children's cabinets are 11 inches wide.

The Cafe: Whem you enter the Cafe from the kitchen, the doors are Moroccan red/brown with Moroccan red/brown frame and moldings on the kitchen and brown stained moldings on the Cafe side.
The back part of the Cafe is 32 feet wide x 12 1/2 feet side walls. Then the side walls turn to the left and the right where the wall continues 6 feet each side. On the left side there is an 8 foot x 10 foot bathroom. On the right side there is an 8 foot x 10 foot refrigeration unit, like the kind you see in a store.
At the bathroom side the Moroccan red/brown entrance door to the bathrroom is straight ahead when you make the turn. The door frame and moldings are brown stain. The wall continues over toward the front wall of the Cafe for a total of 10 feet including the bathroom entrance door. At the front wall the wall goes 4 feet back toward the center and then it turns and goes out toward the corridor for 2 feet. The 2 feet extension continues for 36 feet across the front of the Cafe. The walls are similar on the other side of the Cafe except that the refrigeration unit takes up the 8 feet x 10 feet area. This is an outline of the Cafe.
There is only one bathroom and this is used for people in the Cafe. The children can also use the Men's and Women's bathrooms at the back of the lower level.
