Off the Beaten Track Bathroom Window for Susan's Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch!

The windows of an old house are often large and drafty. 

 

This was definitely the case when we started a bathroom remodeling project.  The thought of having a custom made stained glass window for privacy was very appealing until I checked on cost.

It was impossibly expensive and wayyyyyyyy out of reach on our very small budget.                                  

There was one solution to the problem and that was to call in the artists!  Yes, the artists!  My husband fitted a piece of plywood into the window, cutting out a hole  around a ventilation fan. Then,  my daughter got to work  covering the plywood.  Selecting colorful "stones" frequently used in vases, she created a mosaic-like design.

It has flowers and trailing green "vines". There are also pieces of pink glass scattered in the work of art. Pinks, greens, golds, whites, and a few burgundy pieces are all incorporated. It's quite an amazing piece that has generated a lot of comments from visitors. The pieces are glued on.

My sister, a one-stroke artist, designed the bottom half of the window. She knows I love pink roses so there are plenty of those as well as hearts!  This "stained glass" piece is really painted on and looks like a dead ringer for the real deal!  It's drop dead gorgeous. I couldn't possibly have found a stained glass piece that I love more.

So our creative bathroom window is done, thanks to two talented, crafty ladies!  Where there's a will, (as well as crafts supplies and paint, ) there's a way! Hope you enjoyed seeing my creative bathroom window!
