From My Front Porch To Yours: faux wood beams

I have always been drawn to spaces with wood beams. If you follow my Pinterest Boards Living Room Loving or Kitchen Loving you will see a lot of the rooms I have Pinned all have wood beams.
I love the rustic feel they give to a space.

Kitchen with Wood Beams- From My Front Porch To Yours

Can you imagine this gorgeous kitchen without the wood beams? To me it would still look beautiful but the wood beams make it complete.

Wood beams make such a statement whether they are in a formal setting or a casual setting. They just speak to me and I have always wanted some in our home. Mr.Front Porch and I have been pondering the idea for many years now but we have never taken the plunge. We have even researched the cost of installing faux wood beams.

Well the time has come! Mr. Front Porch got a wild hair and we made a list.

The supplies are bought and now we begin our next adventure of DIY home improvement. Wish us luck!;)

UPDATE: WOOD BEAM PROJECT REVEAL

To say I love the French Country/Cottage look is an understatement.

I think it is because you will always see old mixed in with the new making for rustic charm.

Nothing screams rustic charm more to me than wood beams.

I long to add wood beams to our home. I have grand plans for our living room in the summer if we do not end up being relocated. Till then I came up with a plan to get that rustic charm I have been longing for.

Yep, these are the boards I stained earlier in the week. I had grand plans for them!

Boring hallway now has faux wood beams added to the top of the doors.

I decided to take them on into our master bath as well. I felt that this area needed a pop of something.

The boards add so much more life to this area and the entire bathroom for that matter but I am not ready to share it all yet!;)

And of course I could not resist adding "beams" to the guest bedroom hallway!

And since the hallway got some rustic charm I had to bring it on into the guest bedroom as well to complete the look.

Even the doorway to the guest bathroom got some rustic charm. I love how the "beams" flow with other elements in the room like the stained plantation shutters in the bathroom.

And not that this has anything to with faux wood beams I wanted to show y'all that I finally hung the chandy that The Papa rewired for me back at Christmas. I was hemming and hawing on whether I wanted it to go here and whether or not I wanted to hang it from the iron thingy or from the ceiling. Iron thingy won out at least for now. Not sure I am loving it yet or not. I have a cord cover coming soon that will help me make my decision. I am on the hunt for some small vintage mirrors to hang on the wall above the table or one tall mirror. I may just have to make what I am thinking of.

So there ya have it. Rustic wood "beams" added for right around $30! I really love how the project turned out and have plans of using it in other places around our home as well. Thank you to The Papa for always helping me with my crazy ideas!
