Not just for church…

Stained glass can be so beautiful.  I grew up a Catholic and found mass slightly less than boring by staring at the gorgeous colours.  With the really dense patterns, there was never enough actual light coming in though.  The subject matter was a little dark too…  This beautiful pair of high windows has a sweet pattern.  The colour is focused on the red border, leaving loads of natural light still coming through.  Highlighting the gorgeous traditional features of the room with the stained glass, wallpaper etc, and combining them with contemporary furnishings has resulted in a really timless look.

Love the simplicity of this glass.  The tiny coloured squares are gorgeous and totallty highlight the lovely old windows.

Not quite as simple as the squares….but these windows are absolutely beautiful.

This image is a perfect example of what a good stained glass window can do.  Beautifully designed for the space, with a pretty and simple pattern, this window transforms what could be a very boring home office.

Traditionally, residential stained glass is mostly at the front door, and this is a very nice example of that.  Giving great colour and interest to the front door…this design still allows for loads of natural light to come in.

ps. love the floor tiles.
