In Barton Creek, living spaces are often designed to do two things at once: open up to the landscape and stay comfortable through long, bright afternoons. That balance is exactly why beveled glass remains one of our favorite design choices for Austin homes. At Stained Glass Austin, we use beveled...
At Stained Glass Austin, we love entry glass that feels architectural rather than merely decorative. That is exactly why Greene and Greene stained glass Austin projects resonate with so many homeowners here. The style grew out of the American Arts and Crafts movement, and the Smithsonian notes that Greene and...
At Stained Glass Austin, we love creating designs that feel artistic, architectural, and welcoming all at once.

Family crest stained glass gives a home something few design features can: a direct link between architecture and ancestry. In Austin, we often design these panels for foyers, stair landings, libraries, and entry transoms where natural light can bring the shield, scrollwork, and symbolic colors to life.

The colors fall across the pews in shifting patterns, the room feels removed from the ordinary world outside, and every person who walks through the door understands — even before they sit down — that...
Conservation is not what happens after something breaks. Repair is. Conservation is the intentional, ongoing stewardship that keeps historic and custom glass from reaching the point of emergency in the first place. At Stained Glass Austin, we approach every project — from a century-old sanctuary window to a hand-crafted residential...
Stained glass panels are remarkably durable — a well-crafted piece can hold its beauty for a century or more. But even the finest work eventually shows its age. At Stained Glass Austin, we see it every week: original windows in Hyde Park bungalows with lead that has finally buckled under...
Stained glass is built to endure. With proper care, a well-crafted leaded glass window can last well over a century — and we've restored pieces in Austin that are nearly that old, each one still carrying the beauty and intention of its original design. But longevity isn't automatic. Lead came...
