Transoms



We finally got our transom window design submitted to our stained glass artist in October.
They were ready for pick up a few weeks later.
We got them installed just before Thanksgiving.
We are very pleased with Patrick's work.
And the entry to Retro Bungalow looks
FABULOUS.
Come on in and see...

This is your view if you're standing just inside the front door.
The little dangly doo-dad you see hanging under the transom to the right
 is the felt mistletoe my sweet friend
Jan gave me for Christmas.
She's got an etsy shoppe called
"Fibers and Twigs"
and if you're a crafter/sewer you should check it out!
I'm not a crafter/sewer and she knows I'm not
so this darling piece was created by her for me and
I adore it!
SO.MUCH.BETTER.
than the 'real thing' that's imported from California
 AND
 all dried out, crunchy, crumbly and spray painted.
AND
poisonous.
ICK.



This is a view from the kitchen/dining room.

The design for the transoms is taken from my design for
the little window just inside the front door on the south side
of the entry.
Here's a photo of that window...



If you'd like to meet Patrick or need any type of glass work done
 in Ogden or the surrounding areas,
click on the short video below.
He also did the beveled mirror for our retro style
medicine cabinet in the downstairs bath
and the ginormous mirror over our master bath vanity.
And if ever we need any other glass work done,
he's our go-to guy.
I'm actually thinking about taking a stained glass class
at their shop.
Yeah.
Sure.
I'll just add that to my already 10 mile long bucket list.

Short and quick post today
(I always regret short & quick posts when I go back and read them later and cringe at their lack of thought and effort)
 due to me needing to get back to work on our current project -
one of the last before we can officially say
"we're done!".
It's been a wild ride, baby.

Thank you for stopping by again.
Another fun finished project post coming up real soon!
