Authentic Talavera pottery and tile reign from Puebla, Mexico. Before making its way to Mexico, the Romans used Terra-cotta or fired red-clay vessels to carry water throughout their ancient baths. Today, homeowners and designers are crushing over Terra-cotta’s usage as a popular flooring material. Photo Credit: Pinterest.

San Lorenzo from Mexico was one of those brands offering great looks without oceanic freight. Some I had seen before at Cersaie or Cevisama. Some were from North American brands, and new to me. I’m very pleased to see it being produced closer to home. And, of course, the Spanish and Italians are masters at this!

The strength and density of porcelain results in a higher PSI level, making it suitable for floor applications and commercial spaces. The Saadian Tombs in Marrakech, pictured above, show how glazed ceramic tile was used to cover the floors and walls. Others wanted a more universal application: Mexico: Terra cotta tile.

We delved into the interior design, looking for features such as hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances, balconies and other modern features. Many apartments have sweeping water views, as well as features such as modern kitchens, wood flooring and walk-in closets.

As we are elbow deep in fabrics, floor coverings, renderings and measurements, it’s easy to forget the big picture. She’s designed projects in Mexico, Canada, California, the East Coast, as well as right here at home. But, like with design, we focus on the positive, on what can be done to transform, uplift and create joy.
