Starry-Night Retreat

As for the original greenhouse that started it all, Don and his wife, Lisa, have transformed it into a starry-night retreat. “It’s beautiful to feel the light of the sun setting, then rising in the morning,” he says. “In winter, it’s the coziest place in the world. We lie in bed and watch the snow falling on the roof.”

Words of Wisdom: “Don’t be afraid to use whatever you have on hand, from wood or steel to canvas and glass,” he says. “The use of different colors and materials is what makes the cottages come to life.”
