Want something different for your home? Something truly unique? Maybe a
stunning art masterpiece that everyone is irresistibly drawn to admire as soon
as they walk through your door. Maybe you want something a bit more
functional, such as a distinctive piece of furniture. What if you found
something that combines the two? Lovely stained glass mosaic tables add color
and warmth to your home or office. They serve not only as beautiful works of
art, but they also serve a useful function as furniture.
You probably think, "Mosaic tables are nothing new or unique, so what's this
guy talking about?" You're right! Search the Internet for "mosaic table" and
you'll find that most websites offer round bistro or kitchen tables with
wrought iron stands done with mosaic designs using standard tessera shapes
(i.e., squares and triangles) in standard checkerboard, circular, or sunburst
patterns. You're right, those kinds of tables are a dime a dozen. That's not
what I'm talking about.
Imagine a beautiful stained glass transom window above your front door. Or a
delightful stained glass sun catcher hanging in front of your kitchen window.
Now, imagine the stained glass design on a wooden table top, such as an end
table, sofa table, or entry table. That's the true uniqueness I'm talking
about. Imagine your foyer or vestibule with its stylish hardwood floor,
intricate baseboard and crown molding, and a gorgeous mirror centered on the
wall with an antique coat stand in the corner. The image looks wonderful, but
it's missing something. You can't quite put your finger on it, but you know it
needs more. Aha! Something must act as a transition from the floor to the
mirror on the wall. That's it! An entry table. But not just any ordinary entry
table. An elegant stained glass mosaic entry table done in a rich, full stain
color that perfectly complements the hardwood flooring. Imagine another room
in the home with similarly wonderful mosaic furniture, such as end tables,
curio tables, and sofa tables.
Forget the ga-zillions of round mosaic bistro tables on metal stands that look
like they were mass produced in a third-world country. Those are okay
(sometimes) for kitchens and patios, but they just don't fit the style and
look of the other rooms in your home. You want real wood furniture stained to
match the décor in your living room. You want a table painted white to blend
perfectly with the bright, beachy feel of your sitting room. Stained glass
mosaic tables made of real wood provide exactly what you want--and more.
With a stained glass mosaic table, not only do you get the perfect piece of
furniture, you get a beautiful work of art. You also get a conversation piece
that will likely draw your guests' curiosity and awe. You may even find that
your stained glass mosaic furniture becomes the focal point of the room. When
thinking of "mosaic," don't limit your imagination to the common square or
triangle pieces laid in common mosaic patterns. Instead, go beyond the common
and imagine the extraordinary. Imagine the beauty and uniqueness of stained
glass designs artfully integrated with wood furniture. Your home will love you
for it.
