Decisions, decisions...

Now that we are settled back into normal life in Tucson we still have that bathroom tile project hanging over our heads. I'll bet you forgot about that one! In fact, when I mentioned it the other night Dean admitted that since we don't use that bathroom he actually had forgotten about it! Since we needed to get back into the project we had some decisions to make. Our plan has been to incorporate Talavera tile into the bathroom. After multiple shopping trips to get ideas, Dean and I used his lunch hour to actually go look at sinks together today. To give you an idea of the choices that are available locally, check out these pictures!






















These sinks are only the ones we liked, at only two of dozens of stores in Tucson that sell them! Then we have to find coordinating tile to go with the sink - not necessarily matching, but coordinating...





















The possibilities will make your head swim! And....of course there is the usual amounts of coordinating accessories that one can find to go with any pattern you should choose.....












So....given the options it was difficult to narrow down the choices, which we did during our joint shopping venture. When I took Dean back to work he said "Go pick one of the two we both liked!" The only way of picking tile is to pick the sink first. That being said --we now have the round sink (first of the individual sink pictures above) sitting and waiting to be installed! The next step will be picking out the tiles that will be used as accents - we "gringos" don't tend to get as fancy as the true haciendas that we see in photos, but we are boldly jumping in, rather than just 'sticking a toe in' to the color pool! My plan is to do a tiled (solid color) counter top for the vanity that is currently in that bathroom. I'm not wild about the vanity itself, but we can change that...just wait and see! Tomorrow's lunch hour field trip will be to "Woodworker's Source" to see what kind of wood we can find to cover the current vanity. This should be a fun project, and I'm looking forward to the transformation that occurs before our very eyes!

You didn't really expect us to sit idle for very long, now, did you?
