take home chronicles: dormers, skylights, and small attics

skylight, sky bright... i'm in love with skylights.
 we have a few of our own, and there is something really magical about seeing a pillar of light (when there is sun) streaming in overhead. it instinctively elevates thoughts, to say the least, not to mention all the cheery light washing over you. my grandma just installed two in her home, maybe when i'm a grandma i'll be able to afford such treasures.
because of space cramming, any and all rooms that fit in the small part of pitched roofs with windows that pok out are extremely common here. dormers as they call em, seem just my size and i'm considering converting my attic the minute i get home. love.
these are just a few of my favorte skylights, dormers, and attics from our stomping grounds here.







amazing.

Don't you wish that the architecture of such a beautiful place existed in the US? Why did they stop building such beauty.
