Thanks to Sabina Frank we will have cheerful colored light streaming in from the south side where we once saw only the neighbor’s looming stucco wall with aluminum windows.
One of Many Uses for the Collar Ties after you Vault the Ceiling

I am a fan of having some exposed structure in a house. This photo shows one of the reasons. In addition to hanging a bouncy swing, these beams can make a great place to hang a mobile or colorful flags, wrap holiday lights, store fishing poles or a small boat, install lighting to shine up on the ceiling, and more.
In addition they add a three-dimensionality to the space and light filtering down through the beams from high windows creates interesting shadow patterns.

This old house near my office caught my eye this afternoon. I am curious how they maintain that beautiful wood. Is it original? It looks like high quality material. I bet they restain it frequently. The combination of stained wood and painted wood details is nicely done. I particularly like the gable end details.
