Stained glass

There are two internal doors where we wanted to have glass panels - one at the end of the hallway and one directly opposite that door which used to be the back door but now is the door through to the open plan kitchen/living/dining. My original thought was to simply put some plain-ish frosted glass in the panels. However when the builder sent me to his door supplier to check out the options I got talking to one of the guys there who suggested we could have bespoke stained panels made to match/complement the existing stained glass at the front door. Genius. So I emailed a couple of pictures which were forwarded to the stained glass guy with a couple of thoughts (like remove the pattern section at the bottom) and after approving the (very) slightly revised design, a few weeks later we had the panels. The stained glass guy was so happy with how they had come up he asked for pictures of them installed and these are the pictures I sent. We're pretty happy with them, too!
