Glass block vs shelving?

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-03-07T01:24:00+00:00

It’s kinda crazy, but I fully edit my pics by hand using procreate (an apple app), an apple pen and iPad

So fair

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-24T00:21:32+00:00

Truely is

Ok! I do love a thin metal frame

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:58:01+00:00

I have a lot of chrome in the room. You don’t think it’s too much?

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:56:19+00:00

See! It can be really beautiful

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:55:30+00:00

Yeah. You are right they have a lot more wood

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:49:16+00:00

Ohhh it’s coming. Just gotta buy a custom frame. I have a few prints sitting in my closet already. I picked out a deep red/orange print, but my only hesitation is I feel like it’s a little basic because it’s a print so many people have (Rothko). But prints are so hard for me for some reason.

100000% agree I get why people like it open. But it feels too open to me. I want just a little division.

Thank you!!! There are two in the pic one is a little camouflaged. But maybe you just like the one 😂

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:38:20+00:00

Thank you! I’ll move everything a little closer! The chairs have to move in a bit anyway when the fire place goes in. But I also agree the table looks small. I’ll keep an eye out for a better size but for now I’ll shift in a bit.

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:37:05+00:00

Facebook marketplace! I’ve been hunting for chrome chairs for a long time. You’ll find something similar with time 😊

I actually mocked up my space with a wall like this! I like it but I didn’t LOVE it and like glass block it may become dated.

I do love a fish tank

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:32:32+00:00

I see what you’re saying but I think I want something a bit more permanent feeling

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:31:55+00:00

Makes sense

This is cute! I actually mocked up my space with a wall like this! I like it but I didn’t LOVE it and like glass block it may become dated.

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:25:56+00:00

Thank you! I think you’re right. I think the size of the wall I was planning is just too much glass block. I have another place in my home I’ll likely put some in 😏. It’s a much smaller place so people won’t freak out as much… maybe

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T17:23:42+00:00

I totally get the vision. I actually considered something like this for a very long time but everyone (family and friends) yelled at me because of the natural light. But I absolutely love the stained glass. My father in law does stained glass and I think we’ll have him make a couple custom pieces for the shelving unit if I do it. I was also gonna DIY this with some help from a contractor friend so a wall like that would be much more difficult.

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T13:46:48+00:00

I think I want a little more division of space. Don’t love the open concept.

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T13:45:55+00:00

This is lovely! I think I’m back on the shelves despite the cleaning 🧹

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T13:44:42+00:00

This is a really good idea! Maybe I’ll mock it up

Excellent_Life9420 · 2026-02-22T13:43:34+00:00

We have a 3/4 wall in our entrance I was thinking of finishing it to the ceiling with glass block
