New Stained Glass Windows and Door for Old Friends
Home from Germany and we’re ready to celebrate the Fourth of July, our country’s Independence Day.
Nancy and I spent the holiday this year at the home of our friends Molly and Michael as we have for the last few years. I mentioned them once before because they have the distinction of owning more of Tanglewood projects than anyone else.
They didn’t start out with this intention nor were they our friends when they purchased their first conservatory, but over the years, as we’ve worked together with them, our friendship has grown.
The Door Before & After
Now they have asked us to start work on a new project (this will be number five) – a domed conservatory off their master bedroom that will replace an aging sunroom in the same location. Phase two of this project will be an ornate copper-roofed bay window for their kitchen.
Molly is a skilled designer who loves our work and knows how to tweak our designs in ways that make them uniquely hers.
For example, the last project we did for them was the replacement of six windows, a door and some mahogany paneling in a small unused space off their kitchen.
Molly and Mike asked us to make some beautiful stained glass windows so that she could turn the small space from nothing more than a walk through to the backyard into a mini parlor. I admit that I thought they were going a bit far when they first told me about their scheme however, as you can see from the pictures, in this case, their foresight was definitely better than mine.
This is what the old windows looked like. That’s Jim with his back to us sizing up the situation before he gets started.
New mahogany and stained glass windows for Molly and Mike’s house.
It is a two story space so the new windows really stand out.
