Advent Calendar 2017 - Day 5

5. Stained glass window



Our 1920's house has stained glass windows and this one was originally at the back of the house. We've extended further and so it is now between the family room and the kitchen. The door into the family room is beneath it. Other houses on the block have had plastic windows put in but they have still retained their stained glass and incorporated it into their units.

  2. Lovely window. Your window is protected from the elements, but it is lovely to hear some people have kept their windows too after having plastic windows put in. Are all the other windows in the block the same or slightly different?

  5. We have a chap in the village who restores stained glass windows. The bulk of his work is placing old Victorian windows into modern plastic windows, it is good to see them being replaced rather than thrown away.

  6. Very nice & so glad you kept it. I dislike seeing good workmanship from days gone by, thrown into the rubbish skips. Take care.

  10. I love stained glass windows in houses! When I was a little girl, we used to go to a church a few towns away from ours and we used to drive past this Kingfisher stained glass door every time which I looked out for with utter joy. It was a sad day when I went past and it was replaced with plain frosted glass!
