Before I even begin this post I would like to wish my husband Andy a very Happy Birthday. I am so lucky to be sharing this new journey with my best friend. I will love you forever.
My dear friend Cynthia is a designer from the Tucson area and as we were discussing the powder bath she said “you know this is the Easter Egg of the Home”. So I started a little research. The first thing we all think of with an Easter Egg is a chicken egg that is dyed and often contains a design. BUT upon further research there is a deeper meaning. In computing and in software, the phrase Easter egg is commonly used to explain a secret message or surprise! So off I went to ponder what could we do to make this Powder Room Eggceptional:).
Ultimately, I went back to a project we did in Oro Valley, AZ in 2015. Andy and I called it our “Cottage” – others called it the “Love Shack”. Maybe that is another story for another day. We had paid a visit to our local Ferguson Showroom where we had spotted an “industrial base” pedestal sink. This piece is manufactured by Stone Forest and it became a member of the family. We moved it from the Cottage to our next project at Chalk Creek months later. We loved it so much we thought we would use it in the Farmhouse. But what was I going to ADD to give it the design we were after.
Welcome to Tabarka Studio’s. Tabarka has been handcrafting custom terra-cotta tile one piece at a time since 2000. Check out their website at tabarkastudio.com. These tiles are pieces of art and we are thrilled to be incorporating some of them into this project. Welcome to the “Easter Egg”.
We look forward to sharing the final photos of this amazing powder bath at the completion of this project. Stay tuned next week as we introduce you to Andy’s Music Room and Bath!
