Sylvia said her favorite design on my site was an antique window (above) which was a transom in the First United Methodist Church in Greensboro, Alabama, built in 1907. She liked the window as-is, except of course, built in her colors.
Sylvia contacted me about building a transom for her newly built home in Amory, Mississippi. With her Mississippi accent and my South Alabama accent, right away I knew we were speaking the same language and would get along famously. Sylvia knew exactly what she wanted. Her entryway had a clear transom installed when the house was built, but Sylvia wanted a little color in her front foyer.

The above window, called Julianne's Transom, was my interpretation of the window on the left and was built for an 1860 home in Maplewood, New Jersey
Sylvia wanted to let in as much light as possible, so we used a clear seedy glass as both the center and outside backgrounds. She chose pastel colors to match the decor in her living room with a bold red band and a number of jewels for accents. Sylvia and her husband were gracious enough to send me the pictures below showing before and after installation.
Sylvia's Transom measures about 62 1/2" x 15 1/2", contains 136 pieces of glass and was completed in June of 2010.
