We love glassybaby

We are going to veer off the O'verlays path for a moment to tell you about a product and company we just adore. While at Blog Fest we met an inspiring woman named Lee Rhodes who is the founder of the company "glassybaby". Lee is a three time cancer survivor who went through the struggles that many cancer patients endure when money is tight and paying for basic day costs is difficult. Glassybaby's mission is to fill that gap for those in need. More than $910,000 from sales has been donated to charities dedicated to healing and helping patients with these costs. She is truly an inspiring role model for small business owners like us, and a perfect example that doing good breeds more good.

The idea for her business came about when Lee was fighting her third battle with cancer and raising three small children in 1998. Upon dropping a tea light into a handmade and colorful glass cup, she was inspired by the healing light that illuminated before her eyes. This soothing light gave Lee the serentiy she needed to heal. This experience gave her the idea to hire several glass artists to create colorful glass votives. Glassybaby votives are handmade by Seattle artists in more than 400 colors. Each color represents an emotion, sense, or experience like hope, joy, frog hunting, wet dog and happiness.

Lee generously gifted the attendees at Blog Fest with their own glassybaby.

We're loving the votive along with the beauty and joy it brings knowing what a great cause it supports and the inspiring founder behind it all. Check out the glassybaby collection here!

This is a video of Lee sharing her story.  It shares the heart of glassybaby:

Lee was the first woman to be named Entrepreneur 2011 from Entrepreneur magazine. It is incredible what she has done in such a small amount of time with the obsticles she has overcome to achieve so much. Having been battling cancer, raising three kids, and starting a successful and charitible business is beyond admirable and worthy of recognition. Support Lee and her wonderful cause by bringing a glassbaby into your home or someone elses, they are sure to be enjoyed by all.

Window Makeover...

Check out the latest window transformation with O'verlays.  This was done through our custom department...

David & Tanya S. had a window that they wanted to transform, problem was the existing grids were sandwiched between the glass! 

(before...)

 We worked with them, getting the placement of the existing grids EXACT and then added the "Grace" pattern into the mix....

They painted it to match their window trim and VOILA!!!!

New life for an old window...

If you have an amazing transformation please send it to us, we love to see our O'verlays in their new spaces!

Customer's "Anne" Transformation

We love it when you guys send us your "Before and Afters"!  

Here Cindy Gordon has a stylish Malm transformation using 6"x29" Annes and some always classic and stylish ring pulls (an easy way to upgrade the look of the Malm)...

In process...

We also discovered Cindy is a Wardrobe Therapist, love it!  

Be sure to check out her site and blog for some great advice!

"Fiona" has her television debut

Our "Fiona" panels are feeling a little full of themselves these days ever since they were featured on Steven & Chris.  The guys did an amazing job transforming a Malm dresser in their 

"Good, Better, Best" Segment. 

 Check out the before and afters:

Also, did you know you can get the look of Horchow's Infinity Scroll chest for a fraction of the price with Fiona?

HIGH/LOW

BEFORE AND AFTER CABINETS

I love when you guys send us your before and afters, and this one is great!

Samantha H. From Utah contacted us looking to have some custom panels made

 for her office cabinet doors:

(So envious of her fantastic built-ins and all that storage!!!)

We played around with a few designs and decided on "Grace".

We plumped her up a bit to give the doors some oomph, and viola!....

Her built-ins look even more amazing!

Thanks so much for sharing your project with us Samantha, we love your office!

O'verlays on the Window

This is a custom design we did for a large plate glass window.

 Before, a big square.

The window happened to be perfectly square, so we made 4 panels that would connect to each other to create the "framed" pattern...

The panels were held in place with clear silicone adhesive.

The silicone works great because it remains flexible and you can easily remove the O'verlay if you ever wanted to. (Think super spring window cleaning.) The silicone can be scraped or peeled off the glass or O'verlay.

 They went up in less than 20 minutes, 

and scotch tape was used to keep them in place until they completely dried.

 Here is a glimpse from the outside.  

You can see the dabs of silicone used.  Not a big deal if it was on a higher level or not as trafficked an area.  To hide them a second set of panels will be added to the outside glass to mimic true divided light windows.  Since they are going outside we recommend painting with White Krylon Fusion first. 

 Unfortunately weather wasn't permitting for that, 

but spring and warmer days are right around the corner.
