Making Things Clear: Decorating with Transparency
I'm a minimalist at heart (even though I've got a lot of stuff), so I can't help but appreciate the beauty of glass. It's substantial and workable, but barely-there aesthetically. Glass pieces and significant windows work in all different types of interiors, from the most traditional to the uber-modern. And it always looks good.
So break out the Windex, because this is what's inspiring me this week:

This orange island is such a strong statement that it just begs for stools that are really substantial...or barely-there. I love this approach.
The Philip Glass House in Connecticut has been featured all over the place, including in Food & Wine, when the magazine threw a dinner party inside the amazing space. Glass walls on all sides make the house blend into its surroundings in the most modern way.
Glass is a natural match for the bathroom, where steam can transform from invisible to smoky.
This circular shower takes glass-in-the-bath one further, making a seriously artistic statement.
I love the way this table echoes the windows - all angles and reflections. The effect is super sleek, but warm, thanks to tons of natural light.
All-glass chandeliers are a cool way to add sparkle to a traditional, but fun dining room...
And also a great way to play off an amazing color, like this chartreuse.
There's a lot going on in this room, making a clean glass table the perfect, unobtrusive choice.
