Stained Glass Helps Ease Stress
A piece of stained glass in any room adds a touch of mystery and romance. Stained glass itself is unique in that it is the only art form that explores the relationship between glass and light. A stained glass window or decorative glass panel in your home makes a statement about your lifestyle and personality.
I recently had a stained glass window installed in my bathroom. I needed a place to relax and let the days problems wash away. Now, when I sink into my hot bath and gaze at my beautiful floral window with the soft lights filling the room, I have set the tone to do just that.
My kitchen also has a large stained glass panel in a window facing east in shades of gold and green. As I sit having my coffee in the morning the entire room takes on a golden hue that helps set my mood for the day.
I think it's because light symbolizes life, goodness and beauty.
The exact origins of stained glass is not know, but I would think the first goldsmiths who worked with melting gold decided to try it with glass and discovered a whole new art form.
