Summer is the season when most of us focus on outdoor living, but there are a few lucky people who get to experience nature year-round. Every season, these homes redecorate themselves with wall-to-wall views of leafy greens, autumn golds, and winter whites.
Wall-to-wall windows come with some problems, including privacy and heat gain, but the trade-off is a big view, loads of natural light, and—best of all—a sense of connection to the landscape outside. (For more on the pros and cons of big windows, click here and here.)

I don't like all glass...it's easier to live with when there's a balance between window and wall.
the windows speak to me. It's a great way to make a small space feel grand.

Im so jealous I could spit. When I read the title of the post I immediately thought of Philip Johnson's master piece, The Glass House: http://blakerobinsonphotography.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/img_0008.jpg
I'm sorry.... but how old is the first picture??????
So much sense, so much design, so much light, comfort, openness and then... that tv......
Why is that tv so big!!
I love walls of glass. If I could get away with it, I would live with no walls.
