The master bedroom was newly added in the fall of 2009. The space is open and natural light spills in through the windows and onto the floor, with a solar-tube detail for added lighting. This is not your typical attic-cave-like remodel. It is a quiet, well insulated master room, with a few custom details that make the space comfortable and refined, while maintaining its simplicity.
All photos were taken in natural mid-day light. It is a very spacious, open room with plenty of natural light, yet the blinds close to make this a quiet, darkened area for tranquil rest, and peace and quiet. Notice the wood detail has been carefully selected to match the beauty of the original wood work in the rest of the home.

Closet Details:
"His" and "Hers" closets:
Closet rack extends farther behind wall, for more hanging space than is shown here:
Half door in back of both closets leads to ample easy-access attic storage space, perfect for storing out-of-season clothing, seasonal decorations, etc. Storage space is well lit with easy access to pull-light bulbs:
The storage space extends the entire length of the wall, including over the stairwell, from one end of the room to the other, and is accessible from both closet half-doors.
And yet another half-door access point to ample storage space. This door, picture below, connects to the extra-large storage space that is also accessed from the half-door beside bed in the dormer photo below:
