Home design ideas that may seem completely unobtainable for most consumers are possible if you build it yourself and cut out the obvious budget killers (home entertainment rooms, gold embossed trim, etc.). The photos shown here are likely from multi-million dollar homes. But if you break it down, decide what features are most important, eliminate the unnecessary, and possibly reduce the scale… then some dream designs can be affordable if you do the work yourself.

Eyebrow Windows
Definition: “Eyebrow or eyelid dormer [and window]: A low dormer on the slope of a roof. It has no sides, the roofing being carried over it in a wavy line. The bottom of an eyebrow dormer is flat and the top is curved. Like skylights, dormer windows are a source of light and ventilation for top floors, but unlike skylights (which are parallel to the roof surface) they also increase the amount of headroom in the room and allow for more usable space.”
