Have you seen all of the stained glass windows that we have hanging in different rooms? This is what I have been waiting for since we built our home because we have several of them. I had a few ideas for them up to this point. But now that we are living here, I am getting even more ideas. We hung a few in the kitchen for privacy from the road. We wonβt need them in the summer because of the trees, but I love them. And they will probably stay! It adds so much interest. We hung a few in the bedroom. If you missed it, read about them here and here. There is also a small one in the laundry room. And yesterday, we hung a stained glass window in our bathroom for privacy purposes. And, I LOVE it!
Do you remember the huge leaded glass window in the dining room of our old house? I used that to disguise our kitchen sink area from the dining room. So that if we had a pile of dishes in the sink, they wouldnβt be so noticeable. I havenβt found a spot for that one yet but I plan on doing the same thing. I believe it was a door. We bought it from one of our friends years ago. It has been in several of our homes as a βroom dividerβ over the years. Itβs one of my favorites. Anywayβ¦.
When we were in the planning stages of our home, we told our architect that we wanted HUGE windows in our home. And that we definitely wanted one in our bathroom. When I saw the two large windows in that room, I fell in love with the idea. See our layout here. Those two windows let in so much natural light and make me so happy. They are in the vanity section only⦠not the shower and toilet area, which is a separate room.
Our driveway is right outside of that window. And we currently have no landscaping. I have a lot of ideas for that⦠like planting some taller shrubs and maybe a hydrangea tree in front of them. It will disguise a lot. But for now, we feel like we are in a fishbowl. Ha! Even when we are fully dressed, standing in the bathroom feels strange when a delivery man pulls in and sees us.
So, we obviously had the regular option of covering up the windows with curtains or blinds. But you know that we are a bit extra and love drama in our home decor only. We did hang curtains awhile ago and I love that they soften the look of the windows. We keep them open during the day and closed at night. But⦠while we were cleaning out the storage unit this week, we found a HUGE window that I sort of forgot about.
We had it hanging on our back pergola at the old house. It was hung in a spot to disguise our hot tub. Well.. I believe it is over 5β² tall and 3β² wide. And, we bought it at the same time that we bought the ones in our kitchen. They all match. So, I had this idea to hang it sideways inside the bathroom windows for privacy.
And it turned out PERFECT for this situation. The window disguises us in front of the vanity. It still lets in light to that room and Ivy can still see out. it is her favorite place to sit and watch the world go by. That and one of the kitchen windows. And there is enough room on each side that we can peek around it to see who is here.
What do you think? Do you like this idea?
I will be sharing this entire bathroom and the decor soon. If you missed our shower doors, I shared them here. They are the prettiest shower doors if I do say so myself.

Love this idea! I have been searching for the perfect window to do the same thing in our living room picture window. So far, no luck but part of the fun is the search!
Love it

Sooo beautiful
Gorgeous.. I love how you incorporate those windows into your home!! Shopping in your decor room must be like shopping in your favorite antique spot!!!
Looks so wonderful. Thanks for ALL the inspiration
Love it!! So unique.
Itβs all BRILLIANT. This palette you are using really rings my bell. I am in the process of changing the decor in my home. I inherited a lot of paint colours I wouldnβt have chosen as well as some carpeting which were present when we moved in and I could not swap them out at the time. While not horrible and they have been livable, I canβt wait to get things switched out to my aesthetic. Thanks for all the great ideas.
The stained glass just absolutely adds so much cozy and character to the rooms I love it all!!
Love this! I recently bought and moved into my first home, a 1938 bungalow. I am slowly decorating, just taking my time. I have always loved stained glass windows and leaded glass windows. I have always been on the hunt for an amazing piece, that also fits my budget. Currently, looking for 2 smaller windows to hang in my kitchen.
Love watching your stories and reading your blog. Love your decorating style and humor.

I love the look and idea of using stained glass to cover windows. Our 2nd house had beautiful stained glass over three large windows, boy do I miss them now after seeing all of yours.
Love how Ivy can still look out.
