Etching/frosting/painting the glass....yay or nay?
Comments (4)I thought this was an interesting question. IÂll post some thoughts in the hopes it will spark comments from others. I found one thread that mentions frosted glass being used in a conservatory: Opinions on Frosted Glass? Frosted glass does diffuse the light, and diffused light is beneficial. In spite of that, I couldnÂt find much information on the Internet regarding the use of frosted or etched glass in greenhouses. So, my guess (just a guess) is that frosted or etched glass is not widely discussed as an option for glass greenhouses because it doesnÂt negate the need for shadecloth or whitewash in sunny situations. If it provided a definite advantage over clear glass, it seems like it would be easier to find more references to its use. I donÂt see why it would be too opaque. Maybe itÂs not discussed much because the people who choose glass greenhouses also enjoy seeing in or out; if they didnÂt care about that, they might as well choose polycarbonate. That being said, I think you have a good reason to work with this idea. If it helps you transform recycled windows into something that pleases you when you look up at themÂinstead of being annoyed by streaksÂthen why not? The only downside I can see is you might find you still have to do something additional to diffuse the sun coming into your structure. (I wish I had the experience to wager a guess about that, but I sure donÂt.) IÂd be tempted to try one window (or a scrap piece of glass) to see if I liked the results. Now, if itÂs a double paned window, and you frosted both pieces of glassÂwould that diffuse the light even more? I donÂt know... Maybe someone that knows more about light diffusion than I do will pipe in here....See MoreWeird film on drinking glasses...
Comments (20)The line to my refrigerater is clogged and I am going to have to have it replaced. Since the water coming into the house is not improved, I will have to do the same thing in a couple of years. I am wondering if there is a filter that can be attached the connection of the refrig line to the water line coming into the house? I have a filter inside the refrigerater..once the water reaches the refrigerater....See MoreEveryday drinking glasses, glass or plastic?
Comments (43)I have sets of glass and sets of hard plastic, sets of crystal. But I use daily a big Tervis tumbler with the additional handle for my morning iced coffee drink. I really need a handle. I also have beside me 24 hrs a day one of my metal insulated bubba water containers with a handle added to it also. I have a big collection of various types and sizes of water "bottles" in all colors and material. If we have company for a meal I use the crystal or good glass depending on the occasion. I am not picky at all but I definitely prefer a handle these days. My favorites are Tervis and Bubba mugs,insulated, don't sweat, and long term cold....See MoreFrosted, Etched, Fluted, oh my!

Comments (23)I love having glass uppers - they make the space feel brighter and lighter. In our old house we had fluted glass uppers, and in our present house we have seeded glass. In both cases, you can make out general shapes and colors but nothing more. There is nothing out on display. Of your 4 original choices, I would lean towards the clear ridged or the pointal. The pointal has more of a textured etched look to me, which might be a good compromise for your DH's etched vote....See Morequiltglo
