Shoes and Glass?…
Monday, March 21st, 2011
Shoes. One word, two very different meanings. For men (and we’re not talking sneakers) they are simply a buffer between horrible smelling feet and the cold, hard, unforgiving ground.
For women, they are a life altering experience.
Women have specific shoes for specific occasions, like going to the grocery store shoes, going to the mall shoes, going to the nice mall shoes, meeting friends shoes, meeting friends with the potential of running into enemies shoes and so forth.
They have specific shoes for days of the week.
They have shoes for different types of weather…and I don’t mean rain, snow, etc. I mean: it’s a full moon shoes, it’s hazy outside shoes, there’s a breeze shoes, it’s windy shoes, the sun is out but not really shoes…
You name it – there’s a shoe for it!
I recently learned all of this when I googled the word Insanity.
Just Kidding Ladies. At least your vices make you look even better, where as men have things like beer and not exercising…
The shoe situation did help me realize that women really love having options when accessorizing. My assumption is that most women would appreciate having a scope of options when decorating their homes as well, including their bathrooms.
Well, you’ll be happy to know that at River Glass Designs we have tons of options, even when you’re getting something as straight forward as a frameless shower. And I’m not just talking hardware and handles, you have glass options as well, and that seems to be most important as it will be highly visible to all.
So what can we offer you? Let’s see here, there’s Standard Glass, Starfire Glass, ShowerGuard Glass, Simple Patterned Glass, Cast Patterned Glass, Frosted Glass, and Colored Glass.
Here’s a helpful guide for all our loyal lady readers to help you decide:
Standard Glass: This is your everyday shoe. You know it, it fits, it’s not flashy, and everyone loves it.
Starfire Glass: This is a bit fancier than your everyday shoe. It looks great with dressy slacks, but it’s not too fancy for jeans.
ShowerGuard Glass: Rubber Rain Galoshes
Simple Pattern Glass: The shoe you use to “dress up” those casual outfits. Something with a heel. Heel size isn’t what’s important, more so the fact that the shoe is the show piece not the outfit.
Cast Patterned Glass: Wow shoes. Super fancy. Intricately made. Perfect for when you want to make a statement.
Frosted Glass: This is like a neutral colored pump. It won’t go with everything, but paired properly it can create a fabulous look.
Colored Glass: Tall Boots! They can look amazing but, you need to be careful what you wear them with and when you wear them.

Go Green?
Monday, November 30th, 2009
When deciding on your glass, let’s say for a frameless shower, you have a very important decision to make. Do I go green? Now of course we are talking about color and not being eco-friendly, as we’ve talked about before glass is a much greener option especially for a shower enclosure. So what do we mean by “color”? Isn’t glass clear? Yes. Yes it is. However as we’ve discussed before standard glass has a bit of a green tint which shows mostly on the edges. In all honesty it’s not a huge deal. However every so often we come across a bathroom where that green tint just won’t do. A bathroom filled with color and design that needs to be seen with no distortion whatsoever. Maybe that’s your bathroom. Well for these situations we roll out the red carpet, and by red carpet, I mean Ultra Clear Starphire Glass. No green tint. Interested? Then give us a call…

Simply Beautiful
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
At River Glass Designs we create some of the most beautiful frameless showers, but we do much more. We also do amazing mirror work, stairways, railings, backsplashes and tops. Table tops, countertops, breakfast buffets, you name it. The starphire glass top pictured was specifically designed for this room. The perfect arch at the front creates an amazing unified look between the top and stools. Elegant stainless steel standoffs secure it in place. It was designed by the youngest of our estimators, but perhaps one of the best in the industry. Justin takes everything into consideration when laying out a design; it’s his attention to detail and desire to please each customer that makes each of his projects simply beautiful.

The Difference You Can See
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
For the detail oriented homeowner, at times, there can be nothing more frustrating than having the vision of their perfect bathroom distorted. For instance what if you painstakingly choose all the tile, fixtures and colors for your newly renovated or built bathroom, then you order your beautiful shower enclosure and it ends up muting or muffling all of your brilliant colors and decorative choices. We have seen that happen many times and now offer a wonderful solution. It’s called PPG Starphire Glass. Just ask us about it when you are choosing your next shower enclosure and you will see your next project with incredible clarity.
