Time to see something pretty
back window |
I knew before my daydream ever came true that I would be making
the windows beautiful and full of color.
However, my goal was to to design and create the
stained glass
without blocking the natural light
because my tiny house has no electricity.
And I never wanted it.
I have this dreamy notion of candlelight gatherings .
Can't you
just imagine that?

When the daydream became mine and after I had one window sash
repaired so I would have the exact size, I started my stained glass project
here in my studio.
Of course, The Garden Palace would have a garden theme.
The 'L' shaped middle room has a morning glory theme.

The theme in the tiny room is pansies.
This room is the only single window.
I presume it may have been a dressing room.
And may have even had a chamber pot.

Roses adorn the parlor.
Of course. |

Stupid kitty goes over with me now and seems
quiet comfortable.
front door |
The parlor has three windows and I don't
seem to have a photo of the other front window.
I spent untold hours during every spare
moment cutting glass for five double windows, one single window and the last one for above the front door.
All the while, going to the office from 8
to 5 and working in the garage on the window sashes.
some windows installed |
When there was daylight I was at the little house prepping walls for paint, painting and stenciling and building steps and stairs.
more about walls and building coming

You make stained glass windows, too? Oh wow, Sharon, this is so much fun, what a project.
ReplyDeleteSuch an abundance of creativity spilling forth! Beautiful windows, and yes, I noticed the lush green view out each window! Inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me cry.....it is so beautiful and so you, except I don't know you and windows, but the look is amazing me. Only one thing, don't say stupid kitty..(laughing a little) Kitty is so proud of this, and loves all things new like kitty's do, they love rugs, dresser scarves, wool blankets. (laughing more) through a couple tears.
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed the story of the Garden Palace. I'm so happy for you that you fulfilled your dream :) Sometimes you have to stick your heels in!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think we would all like to be transported there to drink it in, in person!
ReplyDeleteYou have endless hidden talents. I can't believe you have had this sitting on you property all this time and never told us about it. Such a lot of work, such a big accomplishment.
