			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Making improvements to an antique home is a task that has to be handled with care. Those professionals and homeowners that have worked on older structures know that it can be a tenuous balancing act between keeping the house functional and upright while also preserving the integrity of the home&#8217;s design.</p>

<p>We received these photos from two customers who both own homes that are over 80 years old. While they&#8217;ve created these looks with the help of modern materials, their choices of faux wood beams blend seamlessly with the rest of the homes to maintain their original charm.</p>
<p>Kathy from Ellington, CT added <a href="http://www.fauxwoodbeams.com/beams_rustic.php" target="_blank">Rustic Ceiling Beams</a> and Barnboard ceiling panels to keep the authentic look of her 1778 Colonial intact.</p>

<p>Justin Nylander from Ormond Beach, FL wrote, &#8220;I proudly own a 1924 historic Spanish Revial home. We have been enjoying restoring it to it&#8217;s former glory&#8230;and with the additon of adding these wonderful and very realistic <a href="http://www.fauxwoodbeams.com/beams_timber.php" target="_blank">walnut stained faux wood beams</a> to both the kitchen and dining room, the results are stunning&#8230;Looks like they were originally installed since 1924.&#8221;
