Hey there everyone!
For some time now Mike and I have pondering the idea of wood beams in our kitchen dinette area.
We both think it would add to the Country/Rustic feeling, and basically make the room a tad more cozy.
Who doesn’t like a cozy warm kitchen?!
Back a few years ago I stumbled across a site
Fauxwood beams.com and found myself browsing there for a very long time.
I could not get over the fact these beams are actual Fauxwood!
Let me show you some inspiring ideas and gorgeous kitchens I found.
Tell me what you think.

Faux ceiling beams provide a simple and inexpensive way to dramatically improve the décor of a room. They can accentuate ceilings of interiors, giving rooms a warm and cozy feeling with the exact look of real wood without the extra weight and expense.
I am pretty excited over the thought. Funny thing is I remember back in the 70’s these were a big thing.
In fact, I recall in our living room back when I was a kid having them.
I always say, everything old is new again
This is the area in where we are thinking this diy project would be great looking.
Follow me around if you like,you can see how this project comes along!

Everything old is new again..and in this case..what a great idea.I really think it would work very lovely in your home.I am excited for you..the end result will be nice to see.
I love the beams! They really look great. They add so much more character to those kitchens!
Wow! They do look like real wood! I would love to have wood beams in my great room. Can’t wait to see yours up!
Love them all, it particularly the ones with the black straps.
Great picture of that area of your home, Debbie! I love that clock. There are many pictures I’ve admired with beams like that. I try to imagine how it might look here in the condo with our vaulted ceilings. Looking forward to seeing how it looks in your home and what you think of it.
They do look like real Debbie.
I think they’ll look great in your kitchen nook!
I mentioned those to my hubby, too and he wasn’t as impressed as I was. I would love these added in our house.
The beams would be gorgeous in your beautiful kitchen Debbie!!!
Debbie I’ve been checking these out for our master bath we have a vaulted ceiling in there. They would look amazing in your breakfast area!
I think beams are fantastic, they add just so much to a home! I hope you go for it!
Stay warm!

Debbie, You are so right, in the late 70’s I put the faux beams into my living room….Yep it all comes around again.

I love all the pictures you posted. This is an exciting idea!
I love beams, especially when they look old (or are old!). Gorgeous!
I really like those! I am going to have to put those on my wish list 🙂
Yes, I think beams in that room would be AMAZING!
Oh Debbie, they would look great in there! I really liked those sand blasted ones. Cool look! Can’t wait to see what look you decide on 🙂
Love the look of beams in a ceiling. I live in an old mill town in Mass. and during the 89’s when some of the mills were being torn down builders were there literally fighting with each other to get the 1 x 1 beams.
Very pretty. My parents had a carpenter hand hue beams and installed them in their New England cape home. Whether real or faux I think they are a beautiful accent to any room.
What a great idea to use faux wood beams! I’ve never heard of them before, but I bet they’re a lot easier to install, and there wouldn’t be a problem with weight. They look so real, I can’t wait to see what your space looks like with them in.
Debbie 🙂
Those are beautiful, Debbie, and you have the perfect space! Looking forward to seeing what you do!
I think that would be amazing! It’s a great room as is, but would be spectacular with those beams! Can’t believe they are faux!
I love them! They will look beautiful in that space.
