Julien Leroy built this beautiful cordwood garden cabin with all kinds of unique and interesting glass and logs. Here are his words about his masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your talent, Julien!
“Here is our cabin behind our house, inserted in a garden with a French-style perspective.”
The wood we used:
Larch
Locust
Spruce

The door is a work of art. The bottles and glass make a beautiful accent wall.
Jim Madden of Chattanooga, Tennessee was an inspiration to Leroy with all of his magical glasswork.
“We used a different color for each wall. Green, brown, purple, blue and one wall with the colors of fire.”
“We used Mr. Madden’s technique to create unique glass pieces. It was a rather long process, but it amazed us and our guests.”
