Southwest Border Flavor
In this authentic adobe Hacienda-style home, we took out the drab 80s style guest bathroom and opted for a more sumptuous "Old Mexico" style.
We broke into an adjoining closet to create a separate walk-in shower (left) and toilet room and thus significantly enlarge the space. Replacing a standard vanity with pedestal sinks additionally opened up the room and continued the "old world" look.
Authentic tile from across the border (not found in U.S., and much cheaper) was used in the typical Mexican "chair rail" style and the three-color scheme (blue, white and sand) keep it all unified. Local authentic wood furnishings (both new and finds) plus tin and Talavera ceramic accessories complete the look.
In the master bath, we wanted a relaxing retreat for this couple. We used all white tile and continued the Old World style but created a wet room with clawfoot slipper tub and Portuguese tile accent "picture". The tub faces a glass door with stunning mountain views.
We installed a shower spa (instead of jet tub), so that both can enjoy the room at the same time but in different forms.
