Yes, can you believe it, we did, indeed, tile again (you can see in the photos that Dominic has his “tiling face” on). But this time would be different. Inspired by a beautiful tiled mirror I’d picked up in Guanajuato, Mexico, a couple of years earlier, we chose forgiving Talavera tiles. Heck, the tiles start out irregular, so they’re not supposed to be perfect (we appreciated this lack of pressure). Dominic had the idea to edge the tiles with a wood strip that was stained to match the counter – it really tied everything together. We added a few more fun touches later. A strangely blank part of the cabinetry was decorated with red-bordered Mexican Loteria cards, and Dominic’s stepmom encouraged us to use all different Talavera knobs instead of coordinating to match the tile. We added tin switchplates later to complete the look.
