B...I am facing a similar dilemma with our bathroom. But I am not going to lie.. everything in our house is painted white! Walls, ceilings, furniture, and if Stephen did not occassionaly move.. i would probably paint him as well. I have decided to paint the wooden ceiling in our bathroom white. However, I think I am possibly leaning towards Maureen's proposal. The big bad boy beams would really show up against a white backdrop.. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455388501516127861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857146028824456342.post-82079118923451547532014-01-09T14:05:15.362-05:002014-01-09T14:05:15.362-05:00I'm sure you know I love white painted ceiling...I'm sure you know I love white painted ceilings!

You might also go 'pickled' which would lighten it but still show the grain of the wood and maybe even match up the new wood better. I don't know how pickling is done - painted and wiped with a dry cloth? So my vote it to go white. :) Have fun making a decision. At least you have the family on your side if you decide to paint it.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857146028824456342.post-16560435885018946882014-01-08T18:36:33.398-05:002014-01-08T18:36:33.398-05:00I have seen several gorgeous interiors lately with...I have seen several gorgeous interiors lately with dark beams and light (or white) wooden ceilings.

Wood is warm, and a dark ceiling does make everything seem very cosy. My house is so small that a dark ceiling would be too much, but yours always seems large and bright, yet cosy at the same time.<br />Oh, I don't think I'm helping.

I have no idea if one can stain over all the existing, to get a similar color throughout, but if it can be done it would be a ton of work due to preventing particles on it.

How about just adding a "faux beam" to "match" the real beam in the same stain as the real big beam? Then the center difference won't be as noticeable. There is a faux beam company that makes them to your specifications. My spouse made one himself. However it was painted, so that is not as hard and we were not trying to match one there. A faux beam is a lot less expensive than a real beam and one can even add iron hardware to make them look similar.<br /><br />Those are gorgeous ceilings! Beautiful wood. I too would be hesitant. My spouse has an office that is detached from the rest of the house and it has the dark beamed raw ceilings. They don't even come close to this beauty, and I'm really hesitant to paint them. The ceiling that is painted in my house had already been painted. It's really hard to go in the reverse! <br /><br />I have several boards on Pinterest with beamed ceilings: Ceilings, Man Cave, and French Country Kitchens. You might find an example of dark with light on one of them that you have not seen already. I'm a little obsessed with those topics.<br /><br />Butterfly 8)(8 Bungalow https://www.blogger.com/profile/12407401010841427366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857146028824456342.post-81710898843968552682014-01-08T11:29:56.560-05:002014-01-08T11:29:56.560-05:00Wow!
