Acid Etched Glass

Acid etched glass can be used just about anywhere and is very popular with architects, interior designers and home owners. It allows lots of light in without having to worry about privacy issues. It is also very easy to keep clean as it does not pick up finger prints and such quite as much.

The etching process is really interesting. They start out with a regular piece of glass, perfectly clear. Then they use acid to make whatever design the client has requested. It can be done on one or both sides of the glass. It is all according to what you like. The acid eats away at the top layer of the glass, making it cloudy so that you cannot see through it. You can’t even feel it either, because it is left so smooth. It really is a revolutionary texture process. If you were to put it under a microscope, you would see the hills and valleys created by the acid. Yet it is so fine that you cannot see it with the naked eye.

Using interior glass doors that have been acid etched can make your space look larger and softens the light as well from one room to another. Weather you use it for a door in your bathroom, or a cabinet door the look is clean and still provides the privacy you want. They can even be used as a table top or a shower door.

Acid etched glass can be used in businesses as well. It can be used as doors, walls, flooring, stairs, or windows. The applications for this glass is virtually limitless and the look is beautiful and clean throughout. It gives a very modern look to any home or office.  It doesn’t matter if it is remodeling or newly built, acid etched glass is everywhere.

It’s lovely

Oh it is so lovely. I found the prettiest vessel sink. It is all rainbow colored and kind of clear too. I am going to redo my bathroom in the master bedroom. I need something different. I found it on www.edenbath.com. I am going to use a rainbow colored glass motif throughout the bathroom and make it a cheery place to relax when I want to take a leisurely bath. I love taking baths. I put bubbles or oil in it and just soak away my stress.

I can’t wait to show this off to my mom. She always likes to see what I am doing in fixing up my home. A lot of times we will collaborate on projects as she is redoing the old homestead as well. Our tastes run alike when it comes to the houses and we are always asking what each other thinks about something before we do it. Consequently we have some similarities, but not all.

Super Size and Get a Free Glass

It has been months since I went to a McDonald’s, so I was pleasantly surprised today when I went to their drive through and found a special promotion underway. If you super size your value meal you get a free Coca Cola glass with your order. It is only while supplies last, so I doubt I will get a full set of the free glasses. But I got two glasses today and might go back one day next week to get two more. But that is all the McDonald’s I can take, with visits so close together. The glasses are not and nostalgic. I remember ordering a cherry coke at the drug store soda fountain when I was a kid and the coke came in a glass that was shaped like these.
