Trend Report . . . Colored Glass

From Metropolitan Home, June 2008

I love this image from Metropolitan Home; the addition of jewel-toned glass vessels adds a touch of color and glamor to what would ordinarily be wasted space.

Colored glass is beginning to show up more commonly in design magazines and when done right, it's beautiful (when not, it looks gaudy and dated, so tread carefully). But if you think this is the look for you, check out Chicago's Ravenswood Antique Mall or the Broadway Antique Market, both of which offer a very large selection.

And check in later this week for full reviews and photos of Chicago's top purveyors of vintage goods.
