~PEDESTAL BED~~CAMA PEDESTAL~



 No danger of dust bunnies or the dreaded 'squeekiness' when the mattress sits firmly on a concrete pedestal with integrated side tables.

~BATH SUITE with BIRDS & FLOWERS~~BAñO INTEGRADO con PAJAROS & FLORES~

Oh, this is one of my very favorites! It's from "Casa La Piña" in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora.

Here I've combined 2 sizes of tumbled red travertine with talavera tiles from 3 different makers. Oiled Saltillo pavers make the traditional flooring.

The pedestal bed uses these elements as well, creating an ambiance for the suite.

La cama pedestal utilize tambien estos elementos, para crear un ambiente en el suite.

~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.

~LA TAREA SABROSA~~THE TASTY TASK~


~LA TAREA COCHINERA~~THE MESSY TASK~

                                           

~SERIE DE VIñEROS~~WINEMAKER SERIES~

We have 2 sets of this 6 piece series available. Here are the first 2 "chapters" of the story. Made in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, they are reminiscent of antique French country style ceramics. I love using these in kitchen & bar back-splashes. They combine well with a mixture of talavera 4"x4" that use the same colors.
On to the next 4......

~ANGEL EN SU NICHO~~ANGEL IN HIS NICHE~

We created this special niche for an angel we bought in Patzcuaro, Michoacan. Using a small corner is an easy way to create these very special places.  They won't obstruct traffic while adding a peaceful note to your environment.

This one uses a patterned, textured Saltillo terra-cotta tile for the base. Hnad-cut and modeled cantera and travertine stone accents as well as talavera tile and glass droplet tiles. All of it from our beloved MEXICO!!!

Just a few weeks away from taking new pics for clearer images. I've been trying to hold off, but since I've been getting page views and returning viewers, so not wishing to dissapoint, I dared another. Thanks for looking!
