Well back to the house next door. Rene's father (plaster, gesso, hand crafted moulding… and Tadelakt (tadla:kt) which is a waterproof plaster surface used to make baths, sinks, water vessels, interior and exterior walls, ceilings, roofs, and floors.) started to create the bathroom sink.
I would tell you the steps (there were many before this happened) but he told me I could not share his way of creating, it is his art… so I took photos (added two videos on FB) and he was okay with that.)
Tints. I wanted a color that would correspond with the massive copper tub. Though the photos appear to be more yellow than it actually is.
The grey is for the kitchen counter and back splash, the other piece is the color for the bathroom.
I wanted to use this antique iron fire guard as a back splash but Rene's father said it made the sink look like a BBQ which made me laugh. I will use it somewhere else.
The kitchen counter….
The faucets match the tub faucets, they are old and have been refinished. I think larger would have looked nicer, but I did not want to break the set… when the tub is in you will see what I mean.
The color will be lighter as it is still wet.
Presto!
