Whether you are building a new home, or looking to do some renovation to your current home, skylights are an excellent addition. Your rooms will be filled with natural light. Besides being less costly, natural light has also been scientifically proven to make people feel better. Adding a skylight to a room will add value to your home as well.

You have many different options when it comes to skylights as nearly every room in your home would benefit to have one. Take the kitchen for example, while it is not usually a room that you would think to have skylights installed, doing so is an excellent idea. Without natural light and breeze, they can become stuffy and airless making them prone to odors and humid air. There are actually skylights available that have vents and can release stale air from your kitchen with the press of a button. Just about every room in your home could have a skylight including attics, closets, bedrooms, living rooms, and even bathrooms.

There are many features available nowadays for skylights that were not available in the past.

- Character:

Someone coined the phrase, “character is what you do in the dark.” In other words, when no one is looking, will you behave differently than if someone was looking? If not, then you have character. If you are attacked, be tough—not hard. Don’t be a pushover, but be compassionate, gentle, and flexible—especially on procedure (not principle).

Make Money with Your Interests
Everyone is born with a special talent that sets them apart from others. Your job is to figure out what that talent is and find a way to turn it into a business. One lady I profiled in my book, “The Stay-at-Home Mom’s Guide To Making Money” had always liked horses. When she was younger she didn’t have a horse of her own, so she would groom and feed other people’s horses just for the chance to ride.
