I have four of them in the front parlor of my house, which is an 1887 Folk Victorian. Here's a blurry photo of them, but you get the idea:<br />http://daintydigs.blogspot.com/2009/10/eeek.html<br />In my hometown (Lexington, Missouri) several Vics have leaded glass sidelights or smaller windows that are leaded glass.

If you look at yesterday's post you can see how it was used in the upstairs window.<br /><br />Mick,<br /><br />You know, I agree in that the original design looked better cleaner. I have a few weeks to finalize the design. You may see a few more.<br /><br />What about leaded glass? Would you see these cottage windows used on the same houses with leaded glass windows. How common do you see both on the same house in your area?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-24915009804738087902011-01-04T06:31:09.100-08:002011-01-04T06:31:09.100-08:00your original design is pretty common on similar p...your original design is pretty common on similar period houses here in New England, and IMO looks much cleaner and simpler than your modified design.mickmaguirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461835355315823105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-66304346016768429022011-01-04T05:51:46.525-08:002011-01-04T05:51:46.525-08:00It sounds great Greg.

Have you thought that once it is done and in the door it might look like the clear pieces are to replace colored squares that were broken or something. I am just trying to help.
