How cool. How did you get your hands on the church's stained glass? -
An antique picker friend of mine spotted them at one of our favorite haunts--this one and the smaller teal-blue ones in my living room. I okay'd the purchase sight unseen and have yet to regret it! They are from a church in Hanover. I also purchased an altar about a year later from the same shop--Class and Trash on Route One in Richmond, VA. I believe it came from the same church as the stained glass. -
I'll bet it was from an old Baptist church.........looking at the stained glass. I have an old, antique Baptist church stained glass window, which, when purchased had several broken and cracked pieces. I ran it over to my favorite stained glass company for repair. Of course they couldn't match the antique glass; so I had them shift larger broken pieces into the smaller areas to preserve as much of the antique glass as possible, then added a rose-colored glass to those areas left open. ...» -
pretty pretty pretty!!! -
Love the natural rawness of it with the old frogs and unpainted clay pots. Well done Mikey F, well done! -
I'm digging the mix of greens in this whole project...they work well with the terra cotta -
Again Mikey - you've scored a big winner!! Wonderful scale, texture, balance - all the important elements to give a grouping the wow factor!!! -
Looks Beautiful! I love the stained glass window! -
LOVE the fern mantle and I'm honestly not generally a fan of ferns. -
Love the window!! Will be looking for one! -
Love the mantle, at first glance I thought the clock was a Buddha, lol. The whole idea is beautiful. Of course I have husband's portrait & his urn there no plants.
