Blown Glass Door Knobs
Chris Denison’s luscious glass door knobs are a colorful contemporary twist on the pressed-glass orbs that grace doors in Victorian homes. With their swirls and speckles, they resemble large pieces of hard candy. www.workingglasshero.com

Blown Glass Light Fixtures
When you’ve spent thousands of dollars on a countertop, you don’t want stock lighting fixtures that “almost” match. Custom fixtures, like this Celadon lamp by glass blower Ben Coombs, often cost less than those fixtures from high-end lighting stores. www.portlandglassblowing.com

Wrought-iron Hardware
Ornamental blacksmith David Burtt designs and forges everything from traditional fireplace screens to contemporary outdoor sculptures. This leaf-motif door handle and latch were created for a Colonial home. www.davidburtt.com

Painted Walls and Floors
Marie Locke of Ralff & Sons Painted Finishes creates decorative paint effects, such as the multicolor paisley stencil that bathes the walls of this Portland home in soft yellow light. The floor’s diamond pattern is a combination of black wash and natural wood. 207-749-8155

Accent Tiles
A few decorative tiles scattered among stock tiles can go a long way toward personalizing a kitchen or bathroom. These Maine-made sculptural green grasshopper tiles are from Harbor Farm in Little Deer Isle. www.harborfarm.com

Stained Glass
Phoenix Studio combines textured and stained glass to allow light to enter this Camden sunroom while affording it a sense of privacy. The vines-and-roses art nouveau motif is carried through all four walls. www.phoenixstudio.com

Carved Wood Accents
Woodworker Greg Rollins is among several artisans who work with Knickerbocker Group, a Boothbay homebuilder, to create custom elements. This pair of owl hand pulls was carved for a barn’s oversized screen doors. www.knickerbockergroup.com
