I hate feeling spaces that don't feel bright and open. <br />I would recommend painting the wood in between the heavy beams white, and maybe getting rid/painting over the wood paneling on back wall. But I would leave the heavy beams natural. I think they would look ok white, but I love the mix of rustic with white. And they would still draw the eyes upward that way!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00735208123824506268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614264844691206306.post-19120522622786960932011-10-24T11:07:31.645-07:002011-10-24T11:07:31.645-07:00Go for it!
