Leaded Glass

I'm a sucker for leaded glass.  I first fell in love with leaded glass because of a Craftsman home my Mom rented on 16th Street in Paso Robles, CA.  Craftsman homes are famous for their decorative windows.  I always see salvaged leaded glass windows at consignment and antique stores.  I should stop passing them by and start bringing them home.  I'm not sure where I'd put it, but my house is calling out for a little leaded glass filigree.

I also love to see leaded glass used indoors for cabinets, cupboards and interior doors.

Check out this sweet little window below.  I love when smaller windows are tucked away near the ceiling.  It acts like a piece of art hung high on the wall but also allows for good natural light, without the peeping tom aspect.
