The globes just get lost. Eventually further down the line a simple, white iron banister would look gorgeous. And doing a full height wall bookcase on the wall in the second photo (wall on the right) on this post: http://sarahmdorseydesigns.blogspot.com/2014/01/house-tour-upstairs.html, would be amazing...maybe you could leave those columns the natural wood so,the whole wall/bookcase would be wood (stripped/stained to match wood floor)....not sure if I am explaining myself well, haha. Excited to see how the house turns out :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234394908735349321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138300780112773406.post-35641388252598602662014-02-21T19:27:07.967-08:002014-02-21T19:27:07.967-08:00I actually stumbled upon your blog from apartment ...I actually stumbled upon your blog from apartment therapy (and the homies)!

Totally agree on the wall beams, though.

It also depends on what color you choose for the kitchen cabinets. Also, FYI, I lived in a post and beam and believe they are all built the same. They do not put joists in the walls which is tricky for hanging heavy art/shelves. Also, the walls are made of Styrofoam which means you can't run wiring in the wall, just along the outside of the beams.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479986403701464488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138300780112773406.post-26006026380370822802014-02-18T16:29:25.595-08:002014-02-18T16:29:25.595-08:00I love #2!I love #2!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567546996159977606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138300780112773406.post-74152378015221608472014-02-18T15:54:29.005-08:002014-02-18T15:54:29.005-08:00i like all white!i like all white!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138300780112773406.post-24237282788323218762014-02-18T14:22:56.554-08:002014-02-18T14:22:56.554-08:00How about staining the ceiling and beams the color...How about staining the ceiling and beams the color you show in pic above and do walls and banster white.
