Creating a window

The space between two rooms is one to craft with beauty.

Or so I believe.

I'm excited about the stained glass window we are working on to go in the bathroom and also be visible in the great room.

We've gotten some design options from the company doing the work, which I'll share if they give permission. Here is the way the space looks, semi moved in. The bathroom has white subway tile and white wainscoting, dark green floor tiles, and light green upper walls. The small vanity is cherry-stained with a white sink. Hardware is brushed nickel.

I have dark purple towels that feel lovely and rich, but they don't yet have any shower curtain or bath mat to play with. We also have no mirror or medicine cabinet yet. There are a lot of loose ends around here even though we've officially been in the house for over a month (when my husband moved during my absence, but only since August 4 for the kids and me).

The designers are waiting on me to do some thinking about design and color before they can actually create the piece (with lead-free solder, and non-leaded glass). I was going for an organic design of some green but lots of purple(s) and a background in the brown/amber/peach family (maybe some type of "champagne"-colored glass).

I want to print a bunch of copies of what the designers have drafted and then literally take colored pencils to them. But that would require that I actually plug in the printer, which would require that I clear a bunch of stuff off of it and find the power cords and cables. And that, my friends, would require some time without children, of which there is little until school and daycare start next week.
