Do you like the look of exposed wood beams? Me too. Do you like the price of exposed wood beams? ME EITHER. Those suckers might as well be dipped in gold for the $$ they go for. So, for a long time, my beam dreams were an unobtainable fantasy. Until...
we discovered FAUX BEAMS!
That's right! They make faux beams that cost a FRACTION of what the real ones do! AND they are much easier to work with. Since they are constructed of high density foam, they are WAAAY lighter and easier to maneuver and install.
This was our family room pre-beam.

Enjoyed the project?

Rebecca Platt on Dec 28, 2015Of course, there was a lot more done than just the beams. I've seen these beams. They've been around for years. Your living room looks so much better and brighter. Nice job.
