Have you ever wondered what your Front of back door would look like and how much light would come inside? Well stop day dreaming and take action. Here is a project I recently did for a client. Modern, clean, and dark color. Love it! Book now!
Wine rooms are amazing. Some are very in depth and some are super simple. I've fully designed wine rooms to simple door inserts, but in the end the stained glass work brings "a level up" to the project and you'll be reminded every time you enter down there or take a guess, how hard you worked to achieve that status.
Not all stained glass needs to be traditional. Here is a sample of a Denver home with our stained glass! What style is your favorite style?
If you think you're the only person who dreads spring, don't worry there are more like you out there. I for one dont like spring cleaning, BUT when I am done with it, I feel so much better! Also when spring comes, the gears in my head start spinning with what new project I need to take care of. It's funny because even though I doing my job for others, I find myself still creating stained glass for my house and yard. Are you ready for spring?
I hold in my hands an amazing piece of glass. This piece of glass can become anything really? Do you have the vision to make it into your next project? I would love to talk more about it!
Sitting around the table with some friends, we were all playing a game called, would you rather. It was interested how quickly that games escalates into the most ridiculous scenarios. One I got was, Would you rather eat a tub of butter, or drink a bottle of olive oil. Both seemed like a gross choice, but yes I did choose the Butter..
I got to thinking about how this applies to stained glass and how when you're out looking for the right denver stained glass company, or online auction site to make a piece of art, you really are playing this game with some companies.
So would you rather pay a little more and get "just okay" or pay little more and get "extraordinary?"
Look around Denver for stained glass and Im sure you'll see that there are many styles. Styles throughout the centuries have changed, but the love and appreciate for stained glass has still remained the same. If you on this blog I know you love stained glass, but you have to ask yourself, can just any artist make an amazing design piece that will be permanently fixed in your home?
It's no secret that stained glass is here to stay. It's no surprise since it's been around for hundreds of years and literally brightens people's days! So here are my top 3 reason why you think about when picking the a stained glass company to hire.
1. Size of the company: Larger the company the larger their over-head, so the more they have to charge.
2. Quality of the stained glass. Whether it's the creation of the final piece, the quality of glass, or the craftsmanship of the install.
3. The artist. Choose the Artist best for the job. If you love their art, you'll certainly love the final product that will be a showcase for all to see in your house!
So that's it. Pretty simple, but pretty effective!
Best of luck with who you choose and Of course I do hope it's me :)
I'm still so in love with the castle that my stained glass has made come alive. I cant give much details about the client, but I can show some tight shot images just after I installed some of the pieces. I hope you see that even though we are in the 2000's, it doesn't mean you cant have a 1500's castle and some Denver stained glass to go with it!
They come in all shapes and sizes, but the purpose of a transom is to increase the light level of any room. You'll see them above doors, and windows, hallways or transition door ways. I've included a couple samples of the stained glass work I've done around Denver. A little imagination can create a lot of natural light!
I know those dark entry ways that make you turn a light on as soon as you enter. I know the frustrations with keys in one hand and groceries on the other as you try to raise your arms to hit the switch. Enter the Sidelights. If you have room to cut out and put some in, not only do you have the option to add elegance and creativeness, but adding that functionality is key.. I know wha you are thinking, "but Steve, what about night time?" Well there is a simple solution. Porch lights. 99% of houses have them, and the other 1% just haven't changed the light bulb. :) Here some beautiful work I created for a client. Also if you look to the right you'll see some more I've done Have a great days everyone!
It's no surprise that we live in one of the most supportive sports states in the nation. Even when the Broncos and Rockies aren't doing super well we still root for them to do better the next game! We have pride in our state and price for our sports teams!
I just wanted to say, although this client wants here in Denver, we did get some him stained glass for his sports team!
I cant get over the state we live in - today was 80 degrees.. Where else in the world do we have snow one day and blistering heat enough to put on the A/C? The great part is with 300 days of sun in every year, it gives our stained glass time to shine it's colorfulness around our house and keeps us in constant gratefulness of the sunshine we get here in Colorado!
Today we don't pass on plantations or homesteads like the generations past. We have wised up to certain things like, giving our kids options. But no matter if you grew up in one house, got married and moved to another state, it will always be the house you grew up in. Some day, and yes it you will do this, you will drive to that house and slowly drive by to see if it still resembles the house of your memories. Will that stained glass you put in be there for your kids to see 30 years from now?
We are ushering new generations of young ones who don't understand heirlooms. We have to help them understand the values of what they stand for and thinking long terms family lines. stained glass is something that can bring that back with custom family seals and crests, or even to the basic of having your surname made apart of the glass window. give it some consideration on what your kids will have to pass onto their kids.
One of my favorite clients will always be the Landlords. These are people who value stained glass. When they come to me with a rental property, I know they truly care about the people they are renting too. A landlord doesn't have to put in beautiful art pieces to rent a space, but my clients do. They see a family or a single person move into a house and they really want them to feel like they live in a home. That creates renter ownership.
Winter is a great time for us colder snow states to really get our focus on what matters in our home space. It helps us to not feel anxious or trapped during those stormy rains, blistering hails, or dense snow drifts. Clean space with a Smash of our beautiful 300 days a day sun coming in through a new stained glass window seems like something that would make even Mr. Grinch himself smile :)
I want to keep this short and simple, but if you don't know, this might be a good option for your door instead of going out to Home Depot or Lower and replacing the entire thing. Here are a couple before and afters so you can let see what could be your entry way. Let me know how I can transform your door into something prettier and save you hundreds in the process.
Stained Glass is all about customizability. From fitting an existing sized space, or creating a space that can be full designed, stained glass is one of those things that takes shape as you need it to.Here are a couple examples of shapes and spaces that were existing or made specific to fix stained glass.
The best part about having custom stained glass done for your home or office is the fact you can make it fit into your design. Whether you want a piece with several variations from the green family or just frosted glass, the choice is yours. Here are a couple great examples to light your creative fires!
