In a small town, a creative homeowner discovered an abandoned barn with beautiful old wood beams. With a gleam in his eye, he purchased them for a steal. After careful restoration, the beams became the centerpiece of his living room, adding rustic charm and a sense of history to the space.
A mischievous architect designed a house with exposed load bearing beams that twisted and turned in unexpected ways. The result was a playful and eye-catching interior that defied traditional architectural norms.
During a renovation, an exposed beam revealed a hidden crack. Rather than conceal it, the homeowners embraced the imperfection by filling it with a vibrant epoxy resin, creating a unique and visually stunning focal point.
