Glass House Windows
I love Spring.
One moment, the trees are barren. You go away for a week, and you find a forest of green when you come home.
One of the big reasons I bought this new house was the amazing marriage of modern, clean lines of the house with the lush, green landscape surrounding the house. I always thought of it as a glass house in the middle of the woods; big giant windows overlooking lush, green forests.
In the winter time, when I was doing the renovations, it was hard to remember why I even bought the house. It was cold, dark, and BLAH. But now it's such a joy to be inside the house and looking out the big windows.
A serene shot from the guest bedroom. The gunmetal canopy bed has been set-up; all it needs is a new Simmons Natural Care by Danny Seo mattress!
And a corner shot from my master bedroom. The room is totally undecorated. But it overlooks a deep ravine of nothing by trees. I can't wait to wake-up to the sunrise! I can imagine sitting at a desk working on something while peeking out the window to see wildlife roaming around.
How wonderful! Your view is fantastic.

I am speachless! What a gorgeous view....must say that I would not get much done......I would just sit at the window with a hot cup of coffee or tea, perhaps on a rocking chair and stare and stare.........

Relaxation meets eco-chic. And now you've got the main color in the design of your new home - GREEN! At least until the coppers of the fall.
Our last home had 18 foot windows and overlooked 7 acres of hardwoods. It was simply amazing. It felt like our glass tree house and the seasons were so dramatic, just as you described.
The only WARNING I will give you is this: occasionally a happy bird will fly straight toward your window/s only to crash. It's really sad because they usually don't recover. We did our best to rescue a few when this happened, and we did have one success which was wonderful.
Your home is glorious! Thanks for all of the inspirational pictures.

What a beautiful view of creation in all its glory. Springtime is a time of renewal in nature and a good time to remember the reduce, reuse and recycle mantra once again.
Couldn't help but notice the method products on your windowsil, in green of course!
