Stained glass truly raises a home far above the cookie cutter mold.<br /><br />Barb, LOL. I've heard so many stories now of that happening. Not only with windows but doors too. Since both Dan and I are artisans, we try to blend structural soundness and function with beauty. I don't know if we're succeeding, but we're happy with the results. :)<br /><br />Serenity, good to hear from you! Thank you!<br /><br />Tanya, thanks!<br /><br />Barb, hurray for Ebay. It was a find because of the good price. It's well made too.

Given the distance of your neighbors, you would have to have a spotlight on your body to be recognizable through that beautiful window. I always say that you need to do what is good for the house first and make it look nice afterward. When you do the future siding, maybe you could continue the feature down the wall and make it seem like a real bump out down to the foundation.

I happen to have spent seven years working for the Judson Studios in Los Angeles (one of the three big stain glass companies in the country) and had beautiful stained glass windows in our dining room in So. Cal. When we put our house up for sale, it was the stained glass windows that SOLD the house. The new owners just love them. Stained glass gives the room an ambiance like nothing else.CaliforniaGrammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05137556336315915924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-810109852356492782012-12-05T11:45:05.373-05:002012-12-05T11:45:05.373-05:00Sandy, thanks!

We thought the privacy thing wasn't that much of an issue either. <br /><br />Donna, thanks!<br /><br />Renee, small touches like that really make a home appealing. If we hadn't found the window we installed, we likely would have gone with a plain one. The only other size that fit the opening was a mobile home window!<br /><br />DFW, I honestly think having limited funds helps. We <i>have</i> to think things through!<br /><br />Michelle, thanks!<br /><br />Martha, I'm really happy with it. It's a shame though, the original siding is in such bad repair. Still, our home is getting snugger by the panel. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-54279909682046121672012-12-05T10:27:34.375-05:002012-12-05T10:27:34.375-05:00NIcely done!

When we had our house in ...I think it looks great!<br /><br />When we had our house in Wyoming the builder put an octagon window in the bathroom...just plain glass at head height.<br />At the time my father-in-law was making stained glass. So he made us a nice piece to put in our window. Soon our neighbors were all looking for some glass for their homes as well. Of course ours was so nice we took it with us when we moved and FIL made a plainer one to leave with the house. ;)Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-2401537673917671252012-12-05T09:06:22.163-05:002012-12-05T09:06:22.163-05:00So charming.

What a beautiful bathroom win...Good morning Leigh,<br /><br />What a beautiful bathroom window, stained glass windows are one of my favorite things in a house. I wouldn't put up curtains or blinds either. Your neighbor is far enough away, and the window sits up high on the house. Dan did an excellent job installing the window, big kuddo's to your husband!<br /><br />When we finally purchase our property and get our house going (right now were in a temporary house that were renting), I may have to borrow some of your ideas :-)Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.com
