Pink Roses painted bathroom sink

This blog post features some email reviews I have received from happy customers who love their painted sinks and toilets. They are just a few of the painted sinks, toilets, tiles and accessories we sell on our website, decoratedbathroom.com. We have a complete collection of decorated sinks, including designs with flowers, hummingbirds, butterflies, gold borders, fish, moose, deer, more flowers, shells, etc. Please check out our complete collection on the website and read on to see what our customers say about our product. Everything is made by hand with love and care by me in the USA and kiln-fired for lasting beauty. The first sink is one I am just about to add to the website, by popular demand! If you check this link, it should be there by mid-August 2019. One customer got me to make one version, then another customer came along and wanted it on a fancier drop-in sink, one with a beautiful, scalloped-sculpted bowl, the Bates & Bates Julie, made by Creations by Alno Inc, in California. I’m in Nevada so about two times a year I drive to LA and pick up a van-load of sinks. They are so nice to me because they let me check them all over to make sure they are perfect in every way before I start decorating them.

Purple Pansy Scalloped Drop-in Painted Sink

Here’s what the customer had to say:

Hi Lynne,​
As I’m sure you already know we got the bowl you did for use today. My wife looked at it tonight in the bathroom it is going in and said it was BEAUTIFUL! I thought it looked great when I saw it but my opinion isn’t the one that really counts around here in that area so wanted to wait till she had a chance to look at it. It looks like it made it in good shape as well but with the  way you packed it I think they could have dropped it off of a 5 or 6 story building and it probably would have been ok. (that is a good thing) Anyway just wanted to let you know it looks great and to say THANK YOU again for the great job you did on it.

Scented Garden Painted Flower Sink in Guest Bathroom

Guest bathroom with drop-in porcelain sink painted with design of flowers and hummingbirds.
This is the Scented Garden and Brown Hummingbird Fluted Drop-in sink. I put the butterfly in a different place on this one. We are always happy to customize our designs to suit your fancy and create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for your bathroom. Wendy said this about her Scented Garden & Hummingbird Fluted Drop-in Bathroom Sink:

Well, what a masterpiece you created!  It arrived yesterday and I finally had some time today to unpack it and see how it turned out.  Just like your photo on the web.  It arrived all in one piece with all your excellent and careful packing.  I am thoroughly thrilled and impressed and I love the little box to go with it!  Thank you so much.  Where did you come up with the idea to get into this business?  You are very creative and I will love using that sink every single day.

It sure is a deep bowl isn’t it?  You could practically have a bath in it!  But it is just perfect.

Hope business is booming and I am sure lots of people will be commenting on it so that in itself will be great advertising for you.

Once it is installed I certainly will send you a photo.

If you haven’t heard from me in a while do drop me a line to remind me…we are moving mid-April and I imagine some things might get lost in the shuffle…but I will try to remember.

Thank you again for creating such a work of art…I love it!

Oh, and just so you know, UPS brought it to the door with a COD order.  So it cost me zero in duty, $38 in HST and $55 in brokerage fees.

Cheers! Wendy

Then, when she even some photos, she wrote more…

Hi Lynne!

I know you wanted some pictures of how the sink turned out in our new home so here they are.  I love it as you said I would!  Everyday I look at it and enjoy all the colours and detail in the pattern.  So it was a very good choice.  Thank you so much for creating such a gem and shipping it safely!

We had a really difficult time choosing the countertop but I think the white showcases it very well.  And the cabinet is made of white pine (milled from our property) as is the mirror frame  so all in all, we are very happy with the look.

Thanks so much again and I hope your business is going gangbusters!

Scented Garden & Gray Hummingbird Powder Room with Black Granite Counter

This customer installed her Scented Garden & Hummingbirds sink in a more modern bathroom, I would call it modern traditional? or transitional? Another customization, she wanted two hummers on it and I was only too happy to oblige. The faucets are old style but new style too, she chose the gray hummingbird, and it co-ordinates well with the black counter. You can just see the matching soap dispenser in the foreground, on the right, I made that too!

Jane said

Hi Lynne … yes, that would be fine to use photos and what l wrote … l just love my bathroom … a joy to go in … literally … LOL … of course the sink just makes everything pop …. WOW … the reason l picked the granite or is it slate ( senior moment ) was because it has a flick of bright blue in it and the sink has blue in it also … if l did not have my piece of tile l would have picked a borrowing plan color … probably black … that would have driven me nuts keeping the spots wiped off!

This is the Heirloom Roses and Hummingbirds Fluted Drop-in design. Another one a customer inspired me to create. The request was “Roses all over it, trailing down into the bowl”. I think I got it. I’ve sold lots of them since them, it’s a labor-intensive sink but the results well worth the effort!

Here’s what Susan had to say about her sink…

:(( crying  I’m a big baby…tears of joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heirloom Roses Decorated Painted Drop-in Bathroom Sink

Here’s another one we sent to Canada, and she sent a the fabulous photo above, styled for the photo shoot.  I can’t get these drop-in sinks anymore… bummer! I could make the same design on a different drop-in sink.

Dear Lynne _ I am still just as pleased and thrilled with my ROSES sink as when we received it from you. You can’t imagine how many compliments we have had from friends and relatives who have seen it and been AGOG at it’s beauty and prettiness. As you can see, I am all about ROSES. They are my favourite flower. It was very thoughtful of you to ADD even more roses to my decorated sink than was originally called for (at my request). 🙂 The only drawback is that we have HARD water and there are stains by the drain which are from Lime/calcium/iron. That’s why I “hid” it by placing a Rose barrette over the hole. I hope these photos will help your web site. (?) The golden taps / faucet perfectly compliment the old-fashioned style of the sink and my “Victorian” bathroom. Thank – again for all your expertise. Hope your business is going well ? Best wishes from Jude and Steve. Dear Lynne _ I am still just as pleased and thrilled with my ROSES sink as when we received it from you.

Scented Garden, Hummingbirds & Butterflies Painted Floral Vessel Sink

I just made this new version of the Scented Garden design on this flower-shaped decorative vessel sink, again, customer-inspired. I did manage to get that one on the website, you can check it out here, Scented Garden painted vessel sink.

Hi Lynne,
The sink is magnificent and it arrived in perfect condition! I love it. It is more beautiful than I imagined.
Thank you so much for making me such a stunning piece of art.
It has been more than a pleasure doing business with you too!
I can’t wait to see the toilet tank.
Then she received her toilet tank and said
I received the toilet tank/lid and the towel bars today all in perfect condition and as expected they are exquisite!!! Thank you!
I’ll have to feature that in a future blog post. I have to clean them up in Photoshop first. Thankfully I am also a graphic designer so I can do that, if I couldn’t, this business would be even more complicated than it already is!!! Design is so easy, the sinks are fraught with technical difficulties. So much stuff can go wrong, cracked sinks, that’s a really tricky one. I pre-fire everything so that if there is a crack in it, at least i haven’t wasted my time putting all the decoration on it. Thank you for reading and please visit the website, decoratedbathroom.com to see our complete collection of painted sinks, toilets, tiles, bathroom fixtures and accessories, all made by hand by me in the USA and kiln-fired for lasting durability. – Lynne
