Glockenspiel Doors

The entrance to a German restaurant, the Glockenspiel, on west 7th. The doors look pretty old, but the stained glass appears to be pretty contemporary. What do you think? I should go back to see if they have added any wreaths.

    These old things are so beautiful,
    it looks like they have been so much more time for making things nice.
    Have a beautiful Sunday!

  5. I think those doors look lovely.

    It was once my desire to work in stained glass. I tried it and discovered that it's a lot like quilting - one must be exact and precise. I resisted paying so much attention to the detail.

    So now I just admire the work of others.

  7. I like the doors itself without any wreath. but i guess depending on what kind of wreath, it might just blend in nicely.

    I love the wooden doors...they have strength and substance. Like you, I suspect the glass is relatively new. My sister did something similiar on her front door.

  12. Charming restaurant entrance. I love the wooden doors too. Perhaps wreaths would be a distraction.
