View facing the beach from what will be our dock...
Since the main part of the downstairs is essentially one huge long room, we are thinking about adding in some wood beams to break up the space a bit. He is suggesting white, but since the walls are already board on board white, I'm thinking we should go with a weathered wood beam look instead. I think it will help anchor the room with out weighing it down too much since there will be so much white everywhere anyway.
Something like this, not this much wood, but the feel of it and the design...
Or this
Or this...
The only hiccup in the whole thing is that wood beams like this are a wee bit more than the white ones he was suggesting to me, so I said 'define more' to Mr. Killing My Wood Beam Buzz, and he said potentially four times as much! Wha?! NOOOOOOOO! Come on man, get with my program here! So we shall see if they stay or go, and by we, I mean Big D accidentally on purpose getting liquored up and me braking the news to him so he can approve said purchase of pricey beams! I'm going to peruse the internet for pricing options to see what I can come up with...and while I'm on there figure out how to make some saucy martinis...

A large old barn just toppled over a mile down the road from us. I think we should load up a u-haul and head to Florida so you can have the old weathered beams!
