The REFINERII Powder Room features a custom designed steel pedestal sink, unique mosaic floor, steel accessories, and a sparkling plaster wall finish.  Everything in the room was custom designed and fabricated (except the toilet!) specifically for the Showcase Home; making the entire room a hand-made work of art... The design concept is based on sustainable and "green" building principals; all of the steel in the room came from a local salvage yard, the floor is made of left-over & broken tiles, and the walls are finished with a low VOC plaster. 

The sink is a sculptural steel pedestal, made from salvaged sheet metal, and finished with a rich rust patina.  The basin and sink top are covered with a sparkling red glass mosaic; using both red mirrored glass and accents of a red iridescent glass for a truly unique look and feel.  And the basin of the sink has a "secret" drain....(must see in person)

Even the lighting in the room was hand-fabricated.  A set of sconces add a warm glow to the mirror & sink area; they are made out of salvaged steel & red iridescent glass.  The overhead light is a set of miniature spotlights wrapped in steel; the fixture was designed to highlight specific areas of the room and add a bit of extra sparkle to the red glass.

The room also features a custom steel art-piece on one wall; adding a touch of Amber's signature industrial style to the space.  Three sheets of steel hand freely from large bolts; each piece using a unique design element: chain, ball bearings, steel screen, and more are all incorporated into the design.  The entire piece is finished with a rich rust patina to blend seamlessly into the color palette of the room.

The floor of the powder room is a free-form mosaic; making good use of broken and left-over tiles.  The design uses five different colors of ceramic tile  in a swirling, curving pattern, along with accents of red mirrored glass to match the sink top. 

All the walls & ceiling in the room were finished with a sparkling plaster; starting at the floor with a dark brown, and then fading through shades of gold up to the ceiling.  The finished look is both subtle & bold; they are walls that have a hint of sparkle and need to be touched to fully appreciate...
