Beaming!

My Wednesday posts are usually born out of an inspiration folder bursting at the seams with beautiful images. This week, my mind is full of ceiling beams. They don’t really need an explanation, they are just a necessity in my life. I can’t decide which look I like more though: timber beams in all their natural glory, jazzed up with a bit of colour or toned down with a lick of white paint… actually seeing them all here together, I think the natural look gets my vote!

Which one would you pick?

    Put me down for natural as I'm on the hunt for some for my new kitchen! I'd be beaming if I found them... Though the colorful beams got my attention, too! Happy Wednesday, Meghan.

    I'm definitely drawn to the white rooms, especially that first kitchen. It's gorgeous!

    I love the look of exposed beams! I think painting them white adds a bit of chicness

    Wow, it's really interesting to seem them all together- so hard to choose! The coloured beams are cool, but I prefer the white or natural. And white may win in an arm-wrestle.

    Love them all, but I've really got a thing for mint lately so those painted mint ones are probably my favorite!

    The natural is very rustic, and looks gorgeous in the first photos. But I'm a white girl at heart! x
