I am so excited to be in the “blogging world”. There is a lot to be said for a designer to sit down and write about their favorite things in their home. Right when I was about to write this blog Richmond Magazine’s “R Home” called to interview me for their just published May/June issue on [...]
What does your Front Door say about You

In any event the following two window installations were completely different but the results were the same. A great new view over the tub with light privacy and WOW! The [...]

Our Customers Thoughts
I love my stained glass window! It is the perfect accent in our home.
I can’t thank Diane enough, she did a terrific job and exceed my expectation for my entry
Details matter to me and Diane didn’t miss anything in my designs. She was great to work with and my husband and I were thrilled with the results.
I didn’t want the traditional bevel look. I wanted for something different, but not too contemporary. I just love my leaves and the dramatic changes they make to may home as the sun passes through them. They hide a somewhat messy office, and match perfectly with the sidelights and transom she did in my entry.
“Just thought I would share a comment of how the Morisco Glass looks in our cabinets. It is perfect and we are so pleased.
Thanks again for the great service, and will keep you in mind for our future glass needs.” Jeanette
