Some clients come to me with exciting requests. I was asked to reproduce this tray with a painting by Ludlow Thorston, of the boardwalk in Seaside Park into a large window for their dining area.
As you can imagine, being at the shore a lot of my window designs are beach and water related. Here are a few of my favorites!
If you would like one for your home just give me a call at 732-606-3644.

Casements, double-hung,
Octagons......etc.
- Ovals and Rounds -

On a double-hung window the pattern is created to continue throughout both lower and upper panels. The window is full operational while affording beauty and privacy.
Island Heights, NJ, bathroom window
Half Circle transom windows
The window above on the right is the "before" and the window on the left is the "after". This was part of a total window renovation to a beautiful local victorian home in Toms River, NJ.
The beautiful room divider on the left was designed and built for the Kennedy residence on Long Beach Island, NJ. Interestingly this residence was previously the Coast Guard Station for Beach Haven.

was a special request from a client depicting their famly's favorite things for a cabinet in their home bar. They own a floral shop, love to fish, their daughter's passion for dance....and who dosen't love a "cold one".
C "Rebecca" is the name of this vintage carousel horse on the Casino Pier in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. I was commissioned to create this stained glass version from the exact horse for my client's home.

ClContemoporarty windows look wonderful also. No matter what the style or taste, stained glass is a creative asset to any decor or architecture.
"Duffy's Pub" was created for a client's personal residence. It was built into the wall behind their bar rather than an actual window. My client explained that it was the perfect finishing touch.
The photo above is a window that was created for an older wooden window. The window had four individual panes and was inhanced with diamond bevels to add brilliance and style to an already beautiful home.
The photo on the left is an existing door that my client wanted me to duplicate in a plain window that was put in after a wall air conditioner was removed.
The photo on the right is the window that I created to match the door.
Both the door and the window were located in the same room and added balance to the room.
The stained glass window actually made the window look larger than it did before the installation.
Many of my clients come to me with various requests, design ideas, and some come to me with problem areas that they want to change or enhance.
When a client is having a window replaced in a future renovation, I will ask if I can get the window that is to be installed before it is put into the home. Then I build the stained glass piece and mount it into window. The contractor can then put the window into the home completed when ready for the install.
When the window is in....the whole effect is complete! No extra waiting.
I love contemporary designs in stained glass. Most people don't think of stained glass in this way, but I just love the look.
This piece was built into the window before it was installed into the home as I discribed.
Octogon windows look very different when stained glass is added as you can see.
This window lives in a home at the Jersey Shore, just where it belongs!
