           Vetrazzo Recycled Glass Surfaces and Bamboo cabinetry
    

Our materials are so environmentally friendly, that the local Critters feel right at home in our shop...  (just kidding, we know its the cracker)
 
        The Refresh Squirrel                  Here me and the squirrel make a deal
 
 
Here are some pictures of Bamboo Cabinetry which may help you decide if bamboo is for you. We also use Kirei board which is made from the leftover stalks of the Sorgham plants after they harvest them..
There I go again mixing Paperstone, recycled glass and bamboo
 
We just finished our Bamboo Wall Unit that conceals a massage table
 

 
The doors are closed to conceal the massage table which gives access to
the bookcases...

The doors now open to release the massage table which now
conceals the bookcases

This house also complimented their kitchen with Bamboo Countertops
  


One of our current projects is registered for a LEED Gold Certification through the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
The Cabinets are made with Bamboo plywood and have space saving features. The countertop is  made with Chocolate Paperstone, which has a bamboo inlay edge.
We then complimented the top with a Recycled glass Vetrazzo "Charisma Blue with patina" Hi-bar

The finished pictures will be on this site soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
 


 

 
 



Now this was a fun and interesting project for the Little Miss Taylor's bathroom vanity in the same house.. I suggested they collect some seashells, because the kids bathroom was to have an ocean theme..
The Sky Glass top was chosen because of its Blue color...but we couldn't stop there...I put Little Miss taylor to work with safety glasses and gloves to help make her bathroom vanity top a masterpiece.
 
I cant wait until she gets old enough to work full-time for me...          below she made her Seashell crunch...
 
Mom was on-site to take pics of the exciting work


 
Little Miss Taylor was happy at her creation...

The Seashell crunch was also mixed with Glow-in the Dark particulates and various mirror chips we use on other projects... I then sanded to Hi-polish perfection

 
 Well what do you think? Pretty Neat huh?
 
Lights on...                                              Lights off..      
 
Lights on...                                            Lights off...

 
Lights on ...                                          Lights off...
 



         This Vetrazzo job was done with the color Paladian Gray...
     
     The customer picked the perfect backsplash tile to match..
    

    

   
     
Here we have our bathroom Island Vanity that was a pleasure to make with Avonite Antique Glass...
  
 
         We had the privilage to work with Dr. Gayoso and his staff in
 St. Petersburg, Florida  to fabricate and Install Vetrazzo. 
       Charisma Blue with Patina...an excellent choice  

   
All the Exam room tops were done with Vetrazzo
 

 
Welcome to Dr. Gayoso's office
                               
Below we are showing off a very rare piece of Millenfiori Vetrazzo...
     We also had to get this 700lb slab up two flights of Stairs...
Refresh Interiors, Inc. will do whatever it takes to get the job done..
   
 

  
      With a little muscle and some good tools...No problem

We mixed Chocolate Paperstone and Avonite's Recycled Collection...
The Avonite we used is Kaleidescope with 40% recycled content

On the island we reversed Avonite with the Paperstone Inlay

Isn't that pretty neat?

       Below is a footstool design that can also be made into a Coffee    
         table...especially because it has an inlay of coffee beans
