Exposed Beam

Since we will be removing the wall that divides the dining room and living room areas and the ceiling heights don't quite match up for these two areas, we also discussed adding an exposed wooden beam along the new ceiling line. I love the below look and want to try to replicate it in the house! We would probably only do two exposed beams - one on the ceiling line of the kitchen and one on the newly created ceiling line of dining room to living room.
