When the Braebecks purchased their home, all of the original stained glass casement windows had been painted white, and two of the stained glass windows had been replaced with a singular plexiglass panels. Wanting to restore their windows, they found the cost higher than they had originally intended. John decided to take matters in his own hands and create replica stained glass panels himself. Under the guidance of an instructor, John used stained glass from the Broadway Armory and recreated two of the missing stained glass. The result is a tremendous improvement: the stripped sashes and trim pop against the muted colors in their living room, creating a beautiful canvas for their stained glass windows.
