In the winter of 2005-2006 I took classes and learned how to work with stained glass, which was an interesting departure for me as I’ve never been interested in stained glass doo-dads. My original thought was to create quilts out of glass to hang on the wall. That also happened to be the same period of time when we moved into a different house and I had to make decisions about window treatments. One day as I was looking at the bare windows I said, “I’m going to make glass curtains” and the idea of stained glass valances was born!
Dan and I worked together and created our first design, Noah’s Arc, loved it, got a copyright, and decided to bring joy to other people’s windows. We have been creating custom-made stained glass valances for people ever since!
Let the sun stream in with our artistic, innovative, glass valances. Whether you are doing one window or a room full, you will be amazed at how different your room looks! The process is very simple:
- Begin by measuring your windows.
- Select one of our patterns or create your own.
- Choose the glass colors and textures that work with your décor.
- Hang when completed!
They only take a couple of minutes to hang – no tools required! Yes, you can still have blinds or shades behind them. Email us with your measurements to get a quote.

Design: The Mill
This design was inspired by the Saco River flowing past our windows in an old mill in Biddeford, ME. It features a lot of clear glass with different textures and just a few pops of color.
Design: Ivy
This design is intended to cover the top half of your window. We typically use two different clear textures – one for the ivy and a second one for the background.
Design: Noah’s Arc
Noah’s Arc was our first valance design and continues to be the most popular.
Design: Simple Oval
This design is classically simple. It can also be used in cabinet doors instead of plain glass.
