Stained Glass Candle Holder |
| 3/11/2010 5:14:43 AM |
When I was a young girl I remember my mother had a candle holder made of stained glass. It was in the family room and was always one of my favorite things. When she lit a candle in the stained glass candle holder it emitted beautiful colors of green, yellow, red and blue. The flickering flame made the colors dance around the walls of the room, especially when my mother... Read More |

The Beauty of Stained Glass |
| 3/4/2010 6:28:37 AM |
I really appreciate the look and function of my stained glass windows. They are absolutely beautiful when the sun hits them in the afternoon light. The brilliant colors make me feel warm and comfortable. I placed them in those afternoon windows to block the bright summer afternoon sun. My front room was the warmest room in the house because of those mid-day rays. I did not... Read More |

Decorative Glass Factory |
| 3/4/2010 6:13:23 AM |
While visiting my husband's family in the Midwest we took a day road trip to tour a decorative glass factory. As the tour took us through the factory we saw hot molten glass being blown and shaped into candy bowls, vases and pitchers with curved or twisted handles. It was really neat to see how the crafters worked with that hot glass. They were able to make it do crazy... Read More |

Tiffany Glass Lamp Sets Mood |
| 3/1/2010 7:39:23 AM |
I just love the mood set by the light displayed from a mellow tiffany glass lamp. I have a tiffany lamp placed on an antique table in my living room. As dusk falls I turn on the tiffany glass lamp. When the room gets dark the illumination from the tiffany lamp is soft, warm and inviting. I really look forward to spending relaxing evenings in the room.
I found my tiffany... Read More |

Adding Personality to a Home with Stained Glass |
| 2/23/2010 11:24:31 AM |
 If we are not careful, it is really easy in life to go with the flow, move into a cookie cutter house, drive the standard car of the time and dress to fit in. I would much rather keep some individuality and live outside of the box. Some things in life are worth following the crowd with but when I own my first home here is where I’ll be able to show some personality. I grew... Read More |

Going to Start Making Stained Glass Mobiles at Home |
| 2/23/2010 2:23:56 AM |
 I love stained glass objects and have had a serious desire to learn to make them myself. To that end, I found this loupe online that should be useful when I'm making really intricate stained glass pieces. I talked to a woman who teaches the art of stained glass and she suggested that one of these would be useful for making the small pieces that I want. Instead of making... Read More |

Love the Look of Tiffany Glass |
| 2/20/2010 9:49:40 AM |
I just love the look of tiffany glass lamps. I have several of them in my home. Two tiffany glass lamps are located in my front room where I spend most of my relaxation time. Also in that room are a big screen television, my comfortable recliner and surround sound speakers. I enjoy the comfort and warmth that room offers me, especially at the end of a hectic day.
The other... Read More |

Opalescent Glass for Front Door |
| 2/17/2010 6:19:50 AM |
The entry way to my parents home sports two large carved wooden doors. Beside each of those doors is a long narrow window. The windows really light up the entry way in the daytime but at night they revealed too much of the interior of the house. My parents felt uncomfortable at night with the easy visibility into their home through those windows. Solution: installing a... Read More |

Flowers wouldn’t be the same in my house without decorative glass vases! |
| 2/14/2010 12:17:13 AM |
 I find it to be interesting at times that something as simple as decorative glass vases can really spice up a room in your house. Take my bedroom, for example, there are several decorative glass vases that have really nice, fresh flowers that my wife keeps stocked in them and they really add to the flare and the ambience of the room. This is the same status quo for the... Read More

Framed Stained Glass |
| 2/8/2010 6:50:58 AM |
I have two small windows in my kitchen that frame the stove area and allow the afternoon sun to shine in. When I moved into this house I immediately thought those windows called for a couple of framed stained glass hangings. The thing was to find the perfect designs.
My kitchen is decorated in a country theme with yellow sunflowers, birdhouses and it also includes chili... Read More |

 My brother and his now wife are very sneaky, as it turns out. They had a clandestine wedding planned for months, and they scurried away to Barbados and got married without telling anybody; until today when I got a card that announced it in the mail, and stated that they did not want any gifts. However, I say bah to that notion, and knowing that his wife loves Tiffany glass... Read More

I love the way that light reflects off Tiffany glass! |
| 1/28/2010 11:43:06 PM |
 Have you ever seen the way that light can reflect off Tiffany glass? It is so candescent and amazing that it really catches my eye. I have always wondered why Tiffany glass made the light contrast into so many amazing colors, so I did some online research and it revealed to me that Tiffany glass is made from a mixture of different glass particles that are all melted down...
