Buttermilk Cottage
that I have planned to someday
fill with stained glass
since I bought the house
six years ago.
This past weekend I got lucky
and found the piece for one window!
This window is on a landing
as you come downstairs and
overlooks a not so attractive roof.
Last year I had the windows
replaced (better insulation)
with unadorned glass because I knew
at some point I wanted stained/leaded glass here.
This is the window from the front entry.
This is a shot of the window from the back
staircase in the kitchen.
The window lets in light to an otherwise
dark staircase, and has made a nice
ledge for some violet pots.
Otherwise, it hasn't added much
in the way of beauty.
But look at it now!
of leaded clear glass
that fits the space nicely.
What an improvement!
What an improvement!
for my violets.

Oh how beautiful. I love stained & leaded glass. I've been searching for a not so "mint condition" piece to hand & anchor from the gazebo on my deck. I haven't been able to find it. But, this piece is gorgeous & just what the spot needed! Also, loved seeing the wood work in your home, just absolutely beautiful.
It's beautiful. Love the design.
Susan, that is gorgeous. I bet it is really pretty when the sun comes through and creates prisms.
This is a perfect piece for your window. Lovely!

That's a gorgeous piece you found! You know I love that quilt I glimpse over there too.

Great piece! And such a nice fit. Lucky you to have found it. ♥♫
I love - but then I am a stained glass nut. Perfect spot for it.
I really like your window. It is pretty and the violets are so pretty. They reminded me of the ones that my mother use to grow. She had a wonderful green thumb and could get anything to grow even if you thought it was dead. I bet your window is pretty with the sun. Have a great day. A Missouri Friend.
Oh,my goodness - that window is beautiful! Love it.
Be a sweetie,

What a beautiful window! It looks like it's always been there. Love your violets too. Mine always die. I know why.. I water them too much. I know they thrive on 'tough love' but I can't bear to think of them being thirsty, so I water them ....and then they die. Every time I get violets I swear I won't do it again, but I do. (big sigh!)
I love it!! And so lucky that it fit so perfectly! Just gorgeous!

awesome find! I just love the name of your blog - go inviting!
Amazing, it looks like it was made for that spot! I'll take the violets if they need a good home :^)
I love it and it looks so good in its new space.
I love the stained glass windows. They can add such beauty to an otherwise 'bland window'. Yours is GREAT.
