stained glass

i never really thought i liked stained glass, accept in an art history way, you know, churches, cathedrals, next slide, next slide...but i actually really like this contemporary stained glass available (pre-made or commission) at annabuilt.com (i like the colorgrids).

it's part mondrian, part modern. i love the colors and the idea of having a tiny corner of my room filled with beautiful squares of colored light. pricing is available via email, but i think it's a really cool idea if you're in the market for a way to add some color to your apt or house. i know stained glass isn't new, but i like this contemporary take on it. and in a design industry that seems hell bent on putting out more bent ply and "ironic talking pieces" in your home (lookin at you, philippe starck), this is a wonderfully cheery, colorful and un-ironic piece that will add happiness for years to come. more info at annabuilt.com (annabuilt will be at renegade craft fair, too!)
