WOOD AND STAINED GLASS ARE A MARRIAGE OF HAPPINESS

When you usually think about stained glass, you don't always think, "hmm I might want to mix some curved walnut wood into this." The reality is that most stained glass is wrapped in a wood frame, but if we go further we'll find a lot of pieces over time that some very beautiful craftsmanship with the wood framing. It's almost like the wood crafter, and the stained glass master marry this beautiful work of art to create something so pleasing to the eyes.

FIREPLACE COVER THAT BRINGS COLOR TO WARM

There is nothing better than a chilly summer night, where you can fire up the fireplace.

Fireplaces can be a great thing, but the dangers for kiddos can be real. Glass surrounds will provide an extra layer of protection. As much as we love the protection, it doesn't hurt to have the room illuminating with colors!  Here is a pretty simple and custom project I did go a client.  Hope you like it!

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS! 3 THINGS TO DO INSIDE WHEN THE RAIN KEEPS YOU INSIDE

We have had some funky weather this year, and there will be more as normal. Just cross your fingers we don't get 4ft of snow in July.  haha, so here is my top three things to do as an adult when you are inside on a rainy day in Denver!

1) Unplug! don't turn on a the TV, Radio, Computer and turn off your internet on your phone. If you have an iPhone, putting the phone on Do Not Disturb will allow phone calls to come in, but won't allow other things such as emails ding your day!

2) Clean! I know this may sound really lame, but the saying is super true, Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Clean space, clean mind. Clutter has been shown to enhance depression, and curve moods, and appetite. 

3) Get crafty! Whether thats planning your next project around the house, or breaking out the paper mache. There's something about getting your mind focused on things other than life! Escapism is a great thing, every now and then!

Hope you enjoyed this and to bright your day here is some local stained glass from around Denver I know you'll love.

KITCHEN CABINETS WANTED! SEEKING OUT PROJECTS

As you know I love the arts! Stained glass is definitely something I can stare at for hours, and I don't mean while I create, I mean walking into an old mansion, or building. One thing I love is modern with a splash of traditional. I think it's pretty neat how something so old can mix sometimes so effortlessly with today's trends. 

So if you have a modern kitchen and it has newer style cabinets, let's talk! I would love to see how we can make some magic with those cabinets! giving them a little uniqueness.

FIREPLACES NEED SOME LOVE AS WELL

Have you ever wanted that fire to give some color? It's pretty easy.  Here is a simple example of a designed I did for a fireplace cover. I hope you love it. It's not only functional, but it really is added safety measure to ensure that all your embers stay inside. 

WHO NEEDS HOME DEPOT AND LOWES?

Bog box stores carry a lot, but what it lacks (not just an employee when you need help) is knowledgeable people on products. These stores carry a lot of brands, and the brands given a little pamphlet on the product, but there are so many variables when it comes to doors, limits, and even limited style choices. 

I mention this because as a small business it's important to weight your options. 1) What's important to you? 2) What is your budget? 3) Can you benefit your local community by supporting local?

Here is a couple images of Door replacements that I've personally done. I hope you love them!

This is one of those sayings that really resinates in so many facets of our lives. Love, Homes, Hobbies, Jobs and the list can go on. Stained glass for many around Denver, and every other city in the world for that matter. Stained glass to me is a reminder to me that there were people and things before my existence.

It was nice, and my heart is filled with the love and passion I have for stained glass! I hope stained glass makes you feel the same way!

IF YOU CAN'T STAIN GLASS THE DOOR, STAIN GLASS THE SIDES!

Sometimes houses come with a good solid door, and a cheese glass sidelight. Those sidelights are there, so you can see out of them and to allow your home to be lightened up naturally. The huge issue people have with Sidelights is that they don't like to feel like they live in. fishbowl. They apply a film that's really thick and blocks about 2-3 stops of light, but also visibility, so you can see who's at your front door. Now stained glass can be clear is some spots for your to look out, or you can have me design some portions of different opacities, so you still make out if someone is at your door when they aren't suppose to be. 

So whether you have a sidelight or a nice return all next to you door, you have options to introduce Natural light, and also add a little visible security!

SPRING CLEANING IN DARKNESS ISN't IDEAL | DENVER STAINED GLASS

We have all tried to clean out a house, a room, or a closet only to not find what we were looking for, or not getting all the dust bunnies up and in the trash. By adding light to the area, you'll great improve seeing when cleaning, but it actually lights up the same and you'll avoid packing stuff in that area with clutter. Light shines on clutter after all. :)
