When we were redoing the upstairs room, we thought about using pretty hemlock beams but they were soooo expensive that we opted for 2X4s instead.
You can see the 2X4 at the back of this picture...Not so pretty.
But that didn't mean I was ready to give up the beauty of a hemlock beam. So, my hubby and his brother went to work making the 2X4s appear to be beautiful beams.
First they bought some beautiful hemlock strips of wood that were 1X5s. Then he built them into little boxes.
That he could slip right over the 2X4s for a fake facade. They still have to be varnished but I think they turned out beautiful.
