Bleaching expose beams ?
Have anyone bleached exposed beams? I and my husband saw it in danish magazine. He likes it so much and will do it sometime soon. However I am worried that it may weaken beams and damage structure of 3 fam townhouse. (our apt is 1st floor.) Am I worried too much? Please give me your thoughts!
how to treat exposed wood beams?
Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo but here's my question anyhow. In 2 of my bedrooms I have wood beams along the ceiling that had been encased in plaster. Not liking the appearance or the way they divided the rooms I decided to demo the plaster and leave the beam exposed. I'm curious, however, if I need to do anything to treat the beam? Stain, oil, varnish? Anything??
