When we bought this house we suspected that above the unusually low ceiling beams in the kitchen there might be more space above...and there was. We were able to capture almost two feet of ceiling height back in the kitchen by removing the original ceiling joists and re-supporting the house with new horizontal bracing. Remember this?
After deciding to keep them-- for some project, some day -- a friend told us to leave them outside all winter and the elements would strip the layers of paint. Well we'll be damned...it worked! Have a look:
We haven't really figured out what to do with them -- and this weekend we need to get them out of our yard -- but they really look great, don't they?
