Give your front entrance a makeover with stained glass |
| 9/26/2009 7:19:18 PM |
I was watching hgtv (again) and happened across an episode of Curb Appeal. I don't watch that show often, but I happened along a good episode. Usually when they fix up the front of a person's house, they don't jazz up the front door with stained glass. But they happened to be working on an old Victorian home and the front door had a large plain glass panel in it. The... Read More |

The Sun Makes Stained Glass Pop |
| 9/26/2009 2:20:30 PM |
 The beauty of stained glass really shines though when some form of light showcases the handcrafted detail. I was reminded of this the other day when driving to a local golf course. Along the way, there is an old cathedral style church with two large stained glass panels adorning the left and right side of the entrance doors. Standing at, I would guess ten feet tall and a...

Stained Glass May Be a Dying Art |
| 9/11/2009 2:33:26 PM |
 Past art exhibits, some museums but mostly churches, stained glass is hard to come by. I think we can all agree of the beauty a single stained glass panel can evoke when the light hits it just right, exploiting the hand crafted colors and piece’s story. As jaw dropping as stained glass can be it is becoming a lost art. I’m not in the stained glass world but from a layman... Read More |

The stained glass galleries at Navy Pier |
| 9/11/2009 12:40:04 PM |
I took my cousins to see the stained glass galleries at Navy Pier the other day. They are brothers and one of them is only three years older than me, but he and I love so many of the same things, mainly art. So I knew he'd love to see the stained glass galleries at Navy Pier. I haven't actually taken my time to walk through and see all the wonderful pieces of stained... Read More |

The Stained Glass Panel was the First Sign that this House was Right for Us |
| 9/11/2009 12:39:31 PM |
 Stained Glass Panel
I fell in love with a house today. We have been house shopping for about a month now. This is the first house I liked before we even got in the door. The front has a wonderful stained glass panel in the window. It made the house seem happy and cheery. I felt very positive about the house and sure enough it was perfect. It met all our needs and wants.... Read More |

Stained Glass Windows Upgrade Dining Room, Big Time |
| 9/8/2009 10:05:48 AM |
 This isn't exactly the best time to sell our home, so we have decided to do some redecorating. We've always had a love of stained glass, so we decided we would put in some stained glass panels to give our home a whole nw look and feel. We have two windows in our home that have a blah view, so dressing them up with some stained glass inserts will look lovely. We found a... Read More |

She Borrowed My Stained Glass Panel |
| 9/7/2009 11:30:14 PM |
I have a good friend who's hobby of making stained glass objects has brought him some amount of fame, and many requests. Through the years, he has given me pieces of his stained glass works as gifts. Most of the decorative glass has been in stained glass panels; but, he has also made jewelry boxes, Christmas ornaments, and desk toppers. I have purchased some of these... Read More |

The House of my Childhood Had Amazing Stained Glass Windows in the Front Entry |
| 9/7/2009 8:20:36 PM |
 I recall growing up in a rather large home with my parents when I was a kid, and the most memorable part of the home was the enormous front entryway that had large stained glass windows on the top of the massive front doorway. The stained glass panels were very big and they portrayed a picture of a bird that was eating a grape off a grape tree. The coolest thing about... Read More

Search for the Perfect Stained Glass Panel |
| 8/31/2009 11:20:01 AM |
When my husband and I moved into our current home the front door had a clear panel of glass just beside it. We both thought a stained glass panel would fit in that space nicely. The stained glass would give us some privacy. We took the colors from the adjacent living room and began our search of decorative glass.
Between the two of us there was little time to physically... Read More |

Stained Glass as a Hobby |
| 8/30/2009 12:03:54 AM |
Many people have hobbies; but, one of the most unusual hobbies is making stained glass objects. Cutting a stained glass panel is difficult; but, putting all the pieces in place perfectly takes nerves of steel and the patience of Job. Having the glass in tight enough without having it appear too tight, or fusing metallic oxides into it requires a good eye, steady hands,... Read More |

Stained glass a dying art? |
| 8/8/2009 9:21:51 PM |
Growing up in Chicago I was a bit spoiled, it didn't take much hunting to find stained glass. Whether it was something fairly simple like the stained glass windows above our fire place, or something more elaborate at one of the many churches. Chicago in general has some great architecture and a lot of those buildings have fascinating histories. Living in the suburbs I... Read More |

Stained Glass Offers Privacy |
| 7/27/2009 12:01:32 PM |
 Decorative glass is installed to homes and buildings for the inherent artsy feel but I have found that stained glass sort of kills two birds with one stone because it also offers privacy. The church I grew up going to had huge upright rectangular stained glass panels positioned in the church entrance and behind the choir and priest. Whenever we would walk up to the front...

Stained Glass Panels Could Make an Unforgettable Gift |
| 7/26/2009 9:52:35 AM |
 One of the most extravagant window treatments available is stained glass, but it is also one of the most beautiful. Stained glass windows, especially installed in a direction that gets direct sunlight, particularly in the winter, can be a way to bring beautiful colors and textures indoors when the outdoor scenery is bleak. Churches have long used stained glass windows to... Read More |

Stained Glass For My Front Door |
| 7/25/2009 8:33:15 PM |
 When I visited my mother and father in Britain a few weeks ago I admired a new stained glass panel they have in their home. It looks truly magnificent and to be honest I felt ever so slightly envious. Right now there is no stained glass in my home. However we have some work to do on the upstairs portion of our house and I am considering purchasing stained glass at some... Read More |

I truly love stained glass |
| 7/9/2009 12:46:04 PM |
There's something about stained glass that I absolutely love. Maybe it's taking artwork to another level, seeing the sunshine through beautiful stained glass panels, showcasing the artwork. Or maybe it's the colors, seeing the natural light shine through the glass; highlighting the colors and seeing them shine down on things, whether it's people, the floor, etc.... Read More |

Time to Replace Frosted with Stained Glass Panel |

 Stained Glass Panel
My son and his friends were goofing off in the front yard. One of the boys threw a baseball into the frosted glass panel beside my front door. It did not break it, just cracked it. Still it had to be replaced. My husband was going on about having to replace it. I was happy because now I could get a stained glass panelinstead. I had been thinking about... Read More |

Why My Mother Is Buying A Stained Glass Panel |
| 6/22/2009 11:04:32 PM |
 My parents live on the upper floor of a large town house. The top of their landing does not have a window to let in any natural light. Hence there is a gap or hole just above the door in the room that was once my bedroom. This gap is there to allow some light to filter into the landing area.
I was talking to my mother on the phone last week and she told me she intends to... Read More |

Gorgeous Stained Glass Panel for a Relaxing Bath |
| 4/27/2009 9:15:09 AM |
 I have a big soaking tub in my bathroom with a huge window over it that is opaque glass. I'm thinking that I could add a stained glass panel to the window to make soaking even more relaxing. Most of the time I take relaxing baths in the afternoon, and looking through a stained glass panel that is being backlit would be really nice. If you haven't checked out the stained... Read More |
