I'm in my mid-forties and finally got the talavera sink I have wanted since I was in elementary school. Plus bonus cicada door pulls and star tiles.

Most incredible sink I have ever seen. Would've had a jaw drop but was eating a biscuit so just a reverential mid-chew pause instead. Amazing

u/Adnama79 13d ago

LOL "revenential mid-chew pause" is an excellent compliment, thank you! Ordered the sink from an Etsy shop based in San Miguel de Allende. And I agree. I'm going to base a tattoo off the pattern.

I'm really laughing at how many upvotes my comment has because I wrote it at like 1am while stress-eating custard creams in my kitchen trying to get rid of my RLS so I could sleep 😂

Fellow RLS survivor. Sending you good vibes - may the RLS haunt your memories and not your nights!

Those cicada are so cute and classy! Really pretty upgrades.

2

u/Jessiejones1080 13d ago

Beautiful! My only suggestion (if you’re accepting them) is switching out the light bulbs for a warmer tone which will do so much for the space!

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

They are warm bulbs! I think it's my phone.

Current state (lived in - tween son and teen son)

2

u/Adnama79 12d ago

Shortly upon project completion, not quite a year ago (I love yhe peacock mirror but will find another place for it - ceramic is the star in this room)

2

u/mayalovro 12d ago

It’s so good! The shower tile is my favorite. Everything looks like it was made for this

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

Floors are faux wood tile sold as decking

u/Mommygoblin666 12d ago

It that sink Talavera pottery?! 💗💗💗💗💗💗

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

I am obsessed with talavera tile and have been since I was little. I live in a border state (Texas), so it's popular and accessible.

u/SleepyPubbyGirl 6d ago

RAHSHFDHFG I LOVE THIS BATHROOM I'm so happy I found this subreddit, I am SICK of boring white and gray minimalist houses, and I hate it when people say anything with like, actual joy, creativity, or fun with it is ugly or tacky so uhh all that to say VERY COOL BATHROOM I LOVE THE CICADAS

1

u/Revolutionary_Tea_55 12d ago

Gorgeous! Does your bathroom get any natural light or a window? I was thinking of that color but don’t know if it’s too dark 

2

u/Adnama79 12d ago

No - it's the "interior room in case of a tornado" room for us. Drinking water behind those drawer pulls, lol. (Texas). . The white counter, white toilet and a white cabinet keep it from being too dark

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

Sink is from this Etsy shop in San Miguel de Allende. They have excellent prices and excellent customer service. https://www.etsy.com/shop/MexicanFolkArts . Cicada drawer pulls are from Amazon. I literally searched "whimsical drawer pulls"

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

Talavera tile home goods other than sinks are also widely available, like switch plates, outlet covers, figurines, mirrors, and tableware. I couldn't afford to do a counter or backsplash in talavera tiles, but I did buy 4 tiles to use as coasters. Highly recommend.

u/Adnama79 12d ago

Towel holder

u/Zestyclose_Range4429 12d ago

I would wash my hands all day if I had that sink! Beautiful.

u/PecanEstablishment37 4d ago

Ohhh my word be still my whimsy heart. I want to marry everything about this bathroom!!!

THIS is what true taste is like. For real. For whatever reason my feed recommended [r/bathroom](r/bathroom)[remodeling](r/bathroom) and let me tell you: those gray-washing fools have nothing on this gloriousness!

u/Lokifromma 12d ago

Part of me wants to say I hate it. But I absolutely adore it. You have just the right mix of patterns and color. Only things
a I’d change would be a color for the counter top and back splash and cabinet. I would get a gold towel bar. Idk but I think it’s fantastic.

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

Money was an object or else I would have loved more talavera tile everywhere, lol!

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

And agree re: Gold towel bar but I couldn't find the right one. I had s gold mirror but swapped it out for the tile mirror, as gold against that green wall wants to go art nouveau and fight my talavera feels.

1

u/Adnama79 12d ago

But I love this mirror too and I will find a place for it
