Beauty in Mexican tile

I know that Mexican Talavera tile is bold & in your face, it can be a bit much for some. But we LOVE it. Each tile is unique and has a character that only hand painted tiles with real brush strokes and glaze variances could express.
Sometimes I get responses to our renovation choices that are not ideal. People mention that our tile choice isn't subtle enough or they say it's too busy. But it can work, and our house craves the theme we are running freely and maybe too carelessly with.

Here are some amazing inspirational photos of what inspires me. I could spend everyday in these very bold rooms and never tire of the color.

This doorway is so welcoming, you just know the inside of this home is warm and comfortable with fun style and one day it will be mine, oh yes it will be mine.

This kitchen could not be more stunning. The turquoise tiles vary so much from one to the next, they look like they were something found in the Caribbean sea.

I love all the deco tile around this sunken tub, it looks like a beautiful bowl.

This huge bathroom has used contrasting solid colors, cobalt and terracotta orange to make a warm inviting statement with accents of deco Talavera tiles.

This range hood is amazing. The colors are similar to the bathroom above, with the use of the terracotta tile contrasting with the bright blue of the range oven.
