EXPOSED BEAMS
I love the idea of Exposed Beams and even tried to have them designed into our previous home but much to my dismay I found out it would cost us way too much to insulate and at the time we just could not afford it.
After reading about and seeing some of my other favourite bloggers out there looking at or deciding about the beams I decided to look into them further.
So this idea went into the design file of the future and will hopefully come back one day.
They are a very classic look and they really bring home that rustic look, which I just adore…
I have to point out though for any of you Feng Shui enthusiasts Exposed Beams are not recommended in bedrooms as they are considered to stop the flow in a room at each beam and if you are laying under them the flow of energy is also stopped in your body at each beam.
If this is unavoidable its as simple as putting up a 4 poster bed and wrap some fabric over or use a canopy to create a new energy.
They are also not recommended for studies/offices or genreal work areas…again stopping the flow of energy.
Even steel beams add a rustic feel in certain styles
A love that a little bit of structural engineering can look so good.
Yes, I quite like the exposed beams, especially when they are painted. I think it works really well. I hope you are settling into your new home and enjoying all the new decorating options. ;-)

Thanks Jenny, We are slowly getting around to everything ;)
I am still in love with your little bathroom ladder.
I love exposed beams as well, but havent included them in my design scheme either, budgets really do crush creativity at times…I have sent an award your way if you have time for it, just stop by my blog & pick it up.
Cheers
The exposed beams are gorgeous. I found your blog via Trish at A dream house for Trish. So glad that I did. Have a great weekend. xx
