One that gives me pleasure every time I see it is the lead-light glass in the front door. I've been meaning to take a picture of it for a while and motivation we high this weekend - so here it is.
One of the things I like about this type of glass is the way it changes colour depending on where the main light source is. This image is taken inside looking out - so the glass looks bright. But from outside it would look much more dull. On a winters evening - when the hall light is on, but its dark outside you get the opposite effect.
So, here is my front door!
You can find more shots at Macro Monday.
Enjoy the close ups.
I like the way the colours can be reflected on the wall or floor from these windows.
ReplyDeleteI like not just the colour and design but also the texture/dimpling on the glass. No wonder you love that door Stewart
ReplyDeleteStewart, the colors and design are pretty. I would like to have a similar door that lets some light in. Beautiful! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful glass. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteinteresting design. i would forever be making it into something - frog. bird. etc.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove that door.... your home sounds like a great one for raising a family in....
ReplyDeleteI like the larger image format on your blog...on this picture particularly, I am sure it shows the lovely patterns and texture of the glass much better than a smaller pic would have.
What a lovely bit of glass work. Let's light in but not prying eyes.
ReplyDeleteDid you really build your house in 1915? Or was it built then by someone?
That's pretty. It's nice to see places that were built to last.
ReplyDeleteHi Stewart!Nice shot!I like the design and the colours of your door!Hope you have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteDimi..
Nice photo and pretty cool that you live in a nearly 100 year old home. Imagine the stories it could tell.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Stewart and makes an inviting entrance to your home!
ReplyDeleteLindo detalhe! beijos,chica
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors Stewart. My door is nothing compared to this gorgeous creation.
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautiful. The colors and design are so pleasing. I can see why you're enamored with it.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I love stained glass.
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate you are to have a house with interesting architectural details like this leaded glass doo. And I can just imagine the colors your are treated to, depending upon the in and out door light. Is this the original glass?
ReplyDeleteMost certainly a work of art! I took a few leaded/stained glass classes several years ago. The only I left the class with was band aids on my fingers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe glass of your front door is so chic and exquisite! I love the design and colors. Plus, the dark glass of that window will provide privacy and security to the owners.

I don't know how your door looks like, Stewart. All I can say for now is that glass door looks so attractive. Would you mind posting the whole image? I’m quite interested to see how it would look on your actual door. By the way, front doors are essential part of the house. It should be sturdy so that it can't be dismantled easily. Make sure that you lock it when you leave the house.

That’s a real nice front door you have there, brother! I remember that we used to have something like this when I was younger. I remember playing with the reflections it has created on the floor. Anyway, since we welcome people in our home through our front doors, it’s best if our doors are as handsome as they can be.
