Classic Wooden Beam Ideas

Many spaces

( like maybe a tiny 60's or 70's ranch house ...?)

get a "Lift"  with

 opened up attic space, and  

solid, stabilizing beams.

How about a garage?

 you're feeling nautical, 

But even if you don't want or have the space to raise to roof, so to speak,

(perhaps you're feeling nautical?) 

a low-ish ceiling with beams hits the style mark beautifully:

Painted white, they still manage to cozy up this gorgeous kitchen:

Here's a creative beam curve:

Farmhouse/Barn style:

Here is a really beautiful version of beams in this Gorgeous Hacienda:

Have a wonderful, beamish day!

Mirrors in Kitchens

Here's the idea behind mirrored/ mirrors-in kitchens: 

light, a sense of extra space, seeing what's going on behind you

 as you cook or work at the sink, 

a touch of glamor,  

or to keep an eye on yourself in the kitchen!

And it just looks so great:

This first kitchen surprised me: Mirrored Kick plates! The details here are exquisite.

On a simpler,charming note: 

The rather unusual kitchen above is a real, non-showhouse,

 used-everyday kitchen, by the way.

Have bright, sunny day!
(or plenty of rain, if you need it>>>!)
