When we chose our first set of kitchen cabinets 24 years ago, we incorporated a custom stain glass window of a potted geranium, which I designed, into the corner cabinet. However, when we remodeled the kitchen a few years ago, we eliminated this feature.
But rather than discard the stain glass window, I attached a chain and it now hangs in our sunroom where the natural light is able to illuminate the design on a sunny day.

That was a good idea. It is really very pretty and you can see it so much better now. The sun really highlights it. :)

Very nice! I work with stained glass too, it's great to see you enjoy it in a new space!
The red in the window goes well with your red walls. I hopped over from NTT.
I'm stopping by from NTT. What a wonderful idea - and roses, too!
The red color of the roses really stand out against the light...Beautiful.

What a smart way to recycle. It looks very pretty in the window...I think even better than in the cabinet. Great choice.
