I love the fluidity of water glass.... just a personal thing.

I love your dining room!!! What is the age of your house? Would love to see more detailed pics of the fireplace area.

Personally, I like wavy glass (old looking) or clear. But that's just me.

I'll be making a similar decision about glass for my similar white painted kitchen in about 3 or 4 months. I'm also considering some kind of glass that adds a bit of coverage and a little extra design detail. I've found this website showing different glass options very helpful because the images show how translucent or opaque the glass is.

I want to add that I love the inset detail in your wood floor!

hi remodel_mama... your kitchen is beautiful.

i did a mock-up in photoshop with vertical reeded glass to be sure i liked it. are you able to do that?

i'll volunteer if your dh will give you till midnight tonight! ;)

i have to run, but let me know what your main choices are, or if seeded glass is the choice you want to try.

(also, can you answer my thread, please?)

I vote for reeded glass - my favorite. :o)

Clear. You want the glass of your pendants to stand apart as special. Plus your historic old house doesn't need a lot of trendy folderol.

There's no harm with seeing foodstuffs and servingware in a kitchen.

I think clear glass would look the best. I do like other types of glass, but in your kitchen I think you have an understated elegance going on and I wouldn' disrupt that now. I do think that it will still look gorgeous with whatever you decide!

Just to tag along onto marcolo's comment - I have a house which I'm guessing is about the same age as yours, and we have original leaded glass and other windows that have different kinds of patterned glass, so I don't know that I would necessarily call non-clear glass "trendy." Or if it is now, it guess it was then, too. ;o)

i'm back! :)

been playing with some photos, but seeded glass is so delicate a pattern, it really doesn't show much at a distance. plus it has to have "your stuff" behind it to make an accurate representation.

if you aren't going to put lights in your cabinets, probably seeded would look nice and not compete with your pendants.

but the people who like the clear have a really good point about your kitchen/house not needing any extraneous "frou frou". at least that's what i think they meant!

As mentioned on your previous post my kitchen is very similar in detail, colours and style to yours and we went with clear glass. My personal preference but I didn't want to clutter up the elegant simplicity of the room with patterned glass.

you can see from this example of "medium seeded glass" that it would not show much photoshopped into your cabinets.

plus you won't have vases of flowers in your cabinets!

i'll keep looking around, though.

thanks everyone! I spent some time at the glass store today and finally decided to go with my gut -- I chose clear glass.

Will post more pics later! Thanks for your support -- I really appreciate it!

Hi Remodel-mama, Sounds like you made a good choice and a choice you'll be happy with. Just curious, is it standard practice, if you want glass fronted cabinets, to buy them from the cabinet company without the glass inset in the doors? I'd never thought of doing it that way; but it gives you the options, as you've demonstrated to us, to pick out the glass option that looks best once the cabinets are installed. Seems like the way to go.

oh yay! good for you! it'll be beautiful. :)

francoise47 - I don't know if this it is standard practice to order the cabinet doors without the glass or not. That's the way it worked with this cabinet company. The KD explained that when the glass came already installed in the door, too often it would break during shipping...

sabjimata - the house was built in 1912. Somehow I don't have better shots of the fire place. If I have a chance, I will take some and post them.

Hi! What did you end up deciding - clear or seeded glass? I think your kitchen looks beautiful! Could you tell me where you got your drawer pulls? They are exactly what I am looking for!
