E is for Eaves

Last week, I wrote about Craftsman style homes and one of their unique characteristics are the wide eaves with decorative brackets. These are the overhanging lower edges of a roof. They remind me of the Gingerbread houses we always make at Christmas with their overhanging edges dripping in frosting. Don’t you think they add an interesting element to the exterior of a home?
