~MODERN ART BATH VANITY~~CUBIERTA del BAñO ARTE MODERNA~



                   Notice the mirror reflected. It's a mirror I had made for sale in the gallery. Jeannie saw it and, well...it was perfect!

~MODERN ART SHOWER FLOOR~~PISO de la REGADERA ARTE MODERNA~

     
    More of those wonderful astriados. My camera grabs the reds overly much...ho, hum...can't get it to unsaturate the red. It's quite red in reality, but not so overpowering as it appears here.

    This house was one of the most FUN ever for us, because it was a remodel for a couple of very dear friends.

~SUNNY SHOWER~~REGADERA SOLEADA~

This is one of my favorite combos. I've done many a variation on this theme. There are so many great co-ordinates. The main deco band has a companion tile that I've cut into triangles, chained together to make the smaller bands. The little flower dots are also included in this line, as of course, the sink.

The field and trim are from Saltillo. This line has some awesome colors in a wide variety of shades.

The floor of the shower is done in ribbed tiles ('astriados', in Spanish) for a special foot massage.

~REGADERA BUGAMBILLA~~BUGANVILIA SHOWER~

Here is one of my favorite beach showers. This is the third rendition of my design. They all come out a little different.

The planter & deco band is made of talavera tiles,with cut and shaped saltillo pavers.  The leaves, flowers & birds, are cut from brightly glazed saltillo made tile, the trunk from a very special saltillo tile that mimics sand.

My guys did 3 of these over the last decade of building in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora. I didn't have time to wait for the cut-in paint when I shot this...oh well.
