throw the roof off

April 28, 2011

skylights. how do we feel about them? obvious gloriousness for the lighting factor, but do they get insanely dirty? do they need to be cleaned annually/semi-annually/ever? i think i want them either way.

and still reigning supreme.....the dream kitchen.

Unknown said...: These are all so gorgeous. I adore both kitchens, the spooky portrait room and the greenhouse like sunroom- I'd LOVE to have one of those on the back of my house.; April 28, 2011 at 8:48 AM
Bess said...: I grew up with a skylight ceiling in the kitchen and it was magical. I think you have to be really smart though and shell out the extra cash monies for high quality/insulated/UV blocking fanciness. I also had 2 recessed skylights my living room in PV and they were OK. A bit dingy but I didn't look up at them as often as I though I would, so I didn't really notice. :); April 28, 2011 at 9:00 AM

Caramel Latte Kiss said...: I had an amazing skylight in my bedroom my first year at university. It was a small room in the attic space with a sloped ceiling, so it was like taking a big lid off the room (I lived right on the sea-front too). I found it got a bit grubby, but a good rain shower was generally enough to make it look presentable again. I'd say they're certainly worth the odd dinginess.; April 28, 2011 at 12:02 PM

Tobe | BIA said...: so noted, bess. forking out extra cash monies will be considered essential.
