[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this in a previous house of the same vintage of yours and it looked fabulous. I'm sorry I can't recommend our artist as it was in another state, but I think this is absolutely worthy doing and much better than any stick-in alternatives. [/quote]

So you replaced the whole window rather than have an insert created? Do you mind sharing how much it cost. I know the cost is variable based on size of the window and where the work was done, but a ballpark would be helpful. Thanks![/quote]

In my case, we replaced the window glass in an existing window frame. The drawback to this is as a PP said: it was exposed to the elements and is difficult to clean. For our next house, we had a frame built for the glass and mounted the frame to the window frame.

I don't remember exact cost but will try to find it. I do remember it was highly dependent on the complexity of the design. We might have spent $1500 on one window and $500 on another.

Also, at some antiques stores you can find stained glass windows from other houses and have them mounted in yours. I expect you'd have the best luck finding these in places that have a lot of old houses (e.g., Baltimore vs. Chantilly).[/quote]
