A few weeks ago I was sitting on the beach and noticed a beautiful piece of beach glass in the sand. The brightness of its color after years of being thrown around the sea was impressive. Colored glass is a simplistic way to add a burst of life into your home. This collection is like a piece of artwork.
A small collection of various shades of blue bottles lends a more vintage look.
These glass vases create a mixture of shapes and colors for funky table arrangements.
I love how the life of this room is in the stained glass windows.
An unusual use of colored glass for the base of this lamp from Anthropologie.
If you like stained glass windows, but feel reluctant to add in a stationary piece, a framed piece like this one is a great idea.
This home has blue vase throughout- which you know I love!
The unusual glass light fixture and small collection of various sized vases adds to the intense green palette used in this room
I think I am going to start keeping my eye out for more colored glass to buy….
with a follow up post in due time….

Colored glass- lights, bowls, glasses, windows

pretty colored glass!
Love it all, especially the vintage bottles and the GORGEOUS kitchen!!
another vintage idea coming back!…my mother lined our kitchen bay window with various colored glass items way back in the 60′s….smiles.
I love it, colored glass, windows of stained glass, and art glass make such a statement!

What a fabulous painting that first image would make. I’ve collected kugels (blown glass balls) all over Europe. I hang them either in a window or currently suspended from my contemporary track lighting in the kitchen over the island. The light really makes them a centerpiece. I was trying to emulate my favorite Swarovski light fixture the Cellula Chandelier.
Love the colored glasses and bottles. They add so much sophistication and character to the room.
Laura,
I love this post! After some green glass for a lakehouse project!!! Thank you.
I love hunting for sea glass when we’re on the coast of Maine…especially the turquoise pieces.
Happy summer to you!

I’m going to keep my eyes open to colored glass too. How fun!
