Midcentury Yellow Entrance Ideas and Designs
We used similar techniques as the Greene brothers to create these entryway stained glass panels. As you can see in this close up image, through a combination of copper foiling and glass layering, we were able to create a shimmering, iridescent appearance for this design. A combination of earth tones were selected for the colors of the glass. The pattern was made to mock the appearance of the famous stained glass window in the previously mentioned Gamble House. The sort of “mock art” stained glass window serves as a striking focal point for the entryway of this Kansas City home.
Greene & Greene style stained glass is perfect for lovers of nature, art, or both. The vibrant green and copper tones of these windows can bring an incredible amount of warmth and color to your home’s interior. Kansas City Stained Glass can create beautiful Greene & Greene inspired stained glass installations. Our artists are very skilled in the techniques used for creating these types of designs.
If you’re a fan of Greene & Greene architecture and are interesting in getting a stained glass panel for your Kansas City home that is inspired by or looks similar to their work, please contact our office. We’d love to work with you on creating a unique work of art for your home.
We fitted the engineered herringbone parquet continuously all throughout the ground floor. Thus we achieved an overwhelming surface of parquet. And the large space became even larger.
For the fireplace our recommendation was a seamless frame built into the parquet floor. We were glad that this option was chosen as the fireplace became a focal point and actually enriched the beauty of this aged parquet.

The stairs were strengthened from above as well from under to eliminate all the present and potential squeaks.
The oak engineered boards for risers and treads were bespoke finished in situ with Osmo Polyx Oil. We selected wide boards of 240mm to cover the entire width of the tread. This also allowed us to use minimal, reduced sized, nosing trims thus emphasising the oak boards.
Each step was individually crafted according to the stair structure to achieve a uniform and symmetrical look.
The upstairs landing was beautifully connected with the stairs by installing wide boards as well with the same finish.
On the ground floor we had to replace the skirting compared to the landing where the existing skirting was undercut.
We especially crafted a coffee table from the same materials as the parquet floor and stairs. After this the whole project took a new meaning. Let us know if you like this. We were delighted!
The front door is original, the circles in it represent tennis balls, as the previous owner owned a tennis club. We painted it to match our stove. The foyer floor has been parquet, and the staircase was white, but wrapped with green carpet.

A renovation of an existing 1950s duplex, the client brief for this project was to watch The Party and create an uncluttered, fun home with a mid-century feel. We designed the complete interior fit-out, collaborated on landscaping and designed and manufactured much of the furniture, including the bespoke curved sofa, crystal chandelier, and custom-designed rugs. Architect on this project was Phillips Henningham. This project has been featured in The (Sydney) Magazine, Belle Magazine and design publications globally.
