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.
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. This past week I took some time and created a little something for my own home since most of the projects I make are for clients. 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!
Still to date one of the most challenging projects I've ever undertaken and yet was one of the most rewarding aspect of my career. Understanding stained glass in Denver was a challenge since the stained glass over the years has been pretty vast in styles, and then adding a CASTLE to Colorado!!! It was amazing challenging to figure out how to being Colorado into this English Castle in Denver. Sometime it may take effort to look at a project, but the end result might just be the most rewarding end result!

At least 10 times per year I get asked, if there is any way to salvage a window frame where an old stained glass used to be. Usually the frame is shaped with my sides or long angles. These projects are one of my favorites due to the nature of problem solving and creating a unique piece in an old space. Here is an example. of that.

Looking through thousands of projects that I've completed for clients all over the world. My heart always draws back to this project. The architecture is pretty mid-centre modern, but this house was actually a 2015. The full idea of the client was just to get maximum light. The client loved that she was able to introduce all this new light into her space and loved this simple project created a unique home feature that others in her area do not have. How creative is your space?
Yes, I used the word trending. I'm not that old, but it's actually really cool to see theses trends coming in and out even 15 years to so! It's really nice to be able sit back and take some of the credit for bring original, dare I say Hipster? haha. I hope you guys have had a great week and I can't wait to do more stained glass inlays for cabinets and for companies like California Closets who does a variety of cabinets style installs.
Here are a couple images of some cabinets I've don't for clients.'
"Weather" your fireplace provides heat as a primary source, or if you just use to to supplement, the minute spring moves on in, your windows fling open with pollination hoorays! for the next 8 months that fire place will be around and can sometimes be an eye sore to stare inside and not see any beautiful orange flames. Fear not! Here are a couple fireplace ideas to spruce up 8 months and give the fireplace back some life!
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!

Growing up for so long in this state I've come to drive around and see the beauty around us. Not just our natural colors, but the colors of all the stained glass that is embedded in the rich history (houses and buildings) in our amazing state!
Here is a couple pieces that makes me just fall more and more in love with our state!
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. :)
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 :)
