Glass Accents and Inserts

Creating features and focal points in your log home not only gives the interior designs more interest; it is also an opportunity to introduce some pops of color in the midst of wood tones.  Achieve this goal by adding glass inserts and accents.  These can happen all through the log home.  For example:

1. Etched glass can be placed on the doors or walls of a shower surround.
2. Add stained glass to the side panels of exterior doors.
3. If you have cathedral, or otherwise high ceilings, add stained glass windows above doors or above windows (both on interior and exterior walls).
4. Insert small glass windows, either etched or stained glass, to doors that are both interior and exterior doorways.
5. In a half wall, add a stained glass window or glass blocks.

As you can see, there are a lot of opportunities for adding glass inserts and accents to your log home.  In order to add these features, your home does not have to be new construction.  Pre-existing log homes have the same opportunities for embellishments as new construction. 

If you are an experienced do-it-yourselfer, tackle this project on your own or with the help of a friend or family member.  If you are not experienced with home improvement projects, hire a reliable contractor.  You will not be disappointed with this decision to add some sparkle in some areas of your log home.
