Most people would agree the most beautiful element in historic churches is the stained glass. There's just nothing like seeing the light shine through those colorful designs. And that's the same reason Neile Cooper's handmade stained glass cabin in the woods is one of the most magical sights we've ever seen.
The New Jersey-based artist calls her backyard escape The Glass Cabin. The framework of the structure was built almost entirely out of reclaimed window frames and glass panels that feature elements from nature. She sourced the stained glass from anywhere she could find it, including Craigslist, garage sales and Habitat for Humanity. The results? Each wall is more mesmerizing than the last — seriously.
Since Cooper is a stained glass artist (she even has an Etsy shop!), this 99-square-foot cabin was a huge passion project for her. And over the years, she's even replaced some of the windows with her own designs. Slowly, but surely, she plans to add more.
Cooper uses the space for guests, yoga, romantic dinners and reading. We want to know how we can get on the guest list. We'd happily bring wine and dessert if Cooper extended an invitation for dinner. After all, the colors pop even more when the interior is lit up at night.
During the winter, the glass is extra vibrant against the crisp white snow.
And, of course, fall is out of this world — as if you had to wonder.
Don't you wish you could have a cocktail here this summer?
