Look What I Found!

I have three windows here at

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!

I was delighted to find a panel

of leaded clear glass

that fits the space nicely.
What an improvement!

Now all I need to do is find a new place

for my violets.
