Hi, Owl!

Loved the pics of your beautiful farmhouse!

Question regarding the stained glass pieces: Can you share where you bought them?

Thanks . . .

    Thanks Hostagrams!

    I got the windows at a place called Antique Warehouse at Botkinburg, Arkansas. It's located on Highway 65 north of Clinton, in northern Arkansas.
    Their website is www.antiquewarehouse.com.

    They claim to have more than 5,000 stained glass windows and doors, and I can easily believe it. They have one big warehouse-type building full of glass floor-to-ceiling, plus glass hanging from the ceilings in several of the furniture buildings. There is every size and prices ranging from maybe $50 to thousands. The selection is overwhelming. I went in several times planning to browse and would end up totally bewildered and dizzy. Fortunately three of my four windows had to be really specific sizes, so that helped in the end.

    Nicely done. Try not to stress about the paint colors too much. Once you get furniture in and a couple of pictures on the walls etc. the wall color won't be such a big part of the whole picture and it'll be fine.

    Thank you, marys1000. At this point I am so over the paint color and now in full on panic about the trim. We are staining it all ourselves, and it's a nightmare. For example, we do the exact same thing to two identical pieces of casing, and they come out totally different! It's a mess! This is the first time I've ever stained anything, and it's every bit as scary as I thought it would be.
    On the up side, I've stopped worrying about the paint. : )

    Thanks so much for the link, Owl . . . Mapquest shows it's about 400 miles from Nashville; 6 hours drive so maybe I can talk DH into a trip there when we get farther into the building process!

    BTW, we also did a lot of yellow in this house (built 6 years ago). I loved the color, but was terribly worried about it when it started to go up. I was afraid I'd feel like I was living in a lemon . . . but we love it so much that we'll use it again in the new Tennessee house. It's just so cheerful and friendly!!
