Every year, the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway raises millions of dollars for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, funding life-saving research and ensuring families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Here in Baton Rouge, that tradition hits close to home.
We supplied and installed the glass throughout the 2025 Baton Rouge St. Jude Dream Home, from custom mirrors and heavy glass shower enclosures to interior glass doors. It is the kind of project that reminds you why the details matter.
The primary bathroom: mirrors built for the space
Walk into the primary bathroom of this home and the first thing you notice is the mirrors. Three tall frameless beveled mirrors run above the double-sink vanity, proportioned to match the high ceilings and the length of the countertop. The beveled edges catch the light from the sconces on either side. It is a clean, finished look that frameless glass does better than anything else.
M&M Glass fabricates custom mirrors in-house at our Baton Rouge facility. That means we are not working from standard sizes. We cut to the dimensions the space actually calls for. In a high-end build like a Dream Home, that matters.
The shower enclosure: heavy glass, clean lines
The primary bath shower enclosure is the centerpiece of the room. It is a heavy glass frameless design, set against floor-to-ceiling marble-look tile with brass fixtures and a mosaic stone floor. The freestanding soaking tub sits just outside the enclosure, and the whole space flows together without a hard visual break.
That is what heavy frameless glass does for a shower. It disappears. The tile, the fixtures, the architecture…those are what you see. The glass just holds it all together.
The secondary bathroom: a bold contrast
Dark ceiling, black granite countertop, vessel sink, and three black-framed mirrors that anchor the whole wall above the vanity. The marble subway tile backsplash ties it back to the rest of the home, but the palette here is its own statement.
The framed mirror is one of M&M Glass’s most requested custom options. We offer a range of frame profiles and finishes, including matte black, fabricated and installed to fit the exact wall space.
Interior glass doors: glass beyond the bathroom
One of the more distinctive details in this home is a pair of full-height frameless glass doors opening into a flex room off the main hallway. Polished bar pulls, clean floor-to-ceiling panels, zero visual clutter. The navy blue room behind them reads clearly through the glass, making the space feel more connected to the rest of the home rather than tucked away.
Interior glass doors are one of those details that builders and designers come back to us for specifically. They borrow light, open up a floor plan, and add a finished, modern quality to a space that a solid door never quite achieves.
The powder bath: small room, big impact
The powder bath gets a framed vanity mirror in a warm champagne-toned finish, flanked by wicker-shaded wall sconces. The Moroccan-pattern floor tile gives the room its personality. The mirror does not try to compete. It reflects the light and makes the space feel larger than it is. That is exactly what a well-chosen mirror is supposed to do.
Why projects like this one matter
A St. Jude Dream Home is not just a showcase build. Every ticket sold, every sponsor, every trade partner contributes directly to the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — making sure that no family ever has to worry about the cost of their child’s cancer treatment.
“This is our 17th year participating in the Baton Rouge St Jude Dream Home. It’s a project we look forward to every single year,” says Chris Van Pelt, owner of M&M Glass Company. “We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this build, and proud of the work our team put into it.”
