These beautiful glass houses remind me of the old saying, “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” I love this saying! With the arrival of Daylight Saving Time, we can now enjoy longer hours of daylight. This means no more seasonal depression disorder, which is great news! Some people are so obsessed with natural light that they spend a lot of money to create glass homes. Below, I share with you some beautiful images and information on each of these homes.
