COOL THING WE WANT #397: A Gulf Island Cabin Built For The Enjoyment Of Sunsets

glass-5

(via) Last year Milwaukee-based photographer Nick Olson and fashion designer Lilah Horwitz quit their jobs to build a glass-fronted cabin on a particularly pretty piece of the Olson family’s ancestral lands in the mountains of West Virginia.
