I wouldn’t worry about what people think about your color scheme. Everybody’s got their own individual, taste, and as long as you like it, there is no problem, and that’s all that matters. Good job with the beams.

[@deemartinez836]

Thats what I say too, unfortunately some ppl cant take criticism and get offended if you don't like it. Sorry but I called it like it is. If your diy isnt for me I state it, not to offend but as an opinion which we can still do at this time in america.

[@christinef7739]

@@deemartinez836 Wow! Who said you can't give an opinion? Lighten up!

[@ferganwalker]

Never in a million years would I look at those beams and think they were made from foam, Kelsey you are a genus. They look absolutely stunning. Love this entire bedroom makeover to date. Well done x

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you!

I think you should put 3 straps on each beam to make it look more realistic. Love the beams! You did a great job. It's going to be beautiful when you are done.

[@9559pritchard]

I think straps on each end too. Looks great!

[@droberts7859]

You are my hero! There are so many women doing large project make overs in their homes. Amazing! I am in my 60’s and have always wanted things done, but have always relied on my husband…who had no interest. I could do painting and other small projects, but not like you! My goodness there is hope for me! My daughter is like you! Many blessings for you and your family!

[@SmileCentral]

These beams are pretty cool!! I am always amazed at the stuff you come up with! I like the strap in the middle, and you could put the beam straps at each end of the beans to balance out the center strap. You have black accents in the ceiling fan, so I don't think it looked out of place, and when you decorate you can put in a few black items to pull the color down/balance. I LOVE the moody green, and even if I didn't, it's YOUR room, so you get to choose!! 😁

[@julierussell4319]

Beams look amazing! I think adding the black straps off set/on the ends would make a more “organic” look. Can’t wait to see the final product! 😊

[@heathertodd7165]

I love the way the room is coming along. I think the beams look real and I love that you found the straps as a back up plan. It adds originality to the room.

[@heaththompson6034]

Kelsey, I love how you're challenging yourself on technique and finding practical and affordable ways to reach your vision. Regarding the color, by itself looking at just the paint, I see where some might think it's too dark or monotone. But the most important thing is your vision, which is where you started. Each step is realization of that vision, and the beams are a great example. When all the parts of your mood board and vision come into reality, I can tell this is going to be an amazing transformation and beautiful result. And you always are ready to pivot if you need to make adjustments. We all can learn from your approach. And you are so CALM during it all! I love how you're confident and trusting in the process. Great, great job!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thanks so much! I wish I could say I’m always calm. I can get obsessive about projects but I’m still learning to walk away and take a breather and it usually ends up working out.

[@heaththompson6034]

It’s a real pleasure to watch you work. You really inspire with your determination and patience.

[@janreed99]

Nice job! In terms of color schemes, you just don't know what a room is going to look like until you've put up pictures and lighting and fabrics. And the beams look very realistic!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

So true!

[@ferganwalker]

Loved your inspirational photos of how you envisaged your room. Love the colour & mood & design aspects of everything x

[@4everyoung24]

Those look real. Wow! I still like the paint color and just know once you get the whole room put together with some decor, texture, and lighting it’s gonna look so cozy! In the end, all that matters is that YOU like it.

[@edseventyeight6749]

Your ability to think outside the box and your creativity astound me. You did a great job on the beams!

[@thedantzler6554]

Those beams are AWESOME!!!!! You have inspired me to give it a go in my house!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

You totally should!

[@sarahzalan7072]

What a clever idea using foam! Love everything about the room. I’m learning so much!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@movinngroovin2104]

Great job on the beams that really helps with all the same color breaks it up and once you do your decor that will also help. Glad you can ask people's opinions and not get upset about it. We all have our safe zones about color and decor glad you went out their and did what you like and really thats what counts. ❤

[@K.T-]

Wow! That is so smart and creative to use foam insulation boards. You would never know the difference, bravo 👏👍🏼👍🏼❤

[@ibmimi2566]

What a cool project! I love everything so far!

[@leisabaldwin6091]

I think it's really starting to take shape. And you love the color and that is the most important thing. I think the beams look great. I do like the idea of more straps for balance. You do great work and you have wonderful, creative ideas. Can't wait for the next video?

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@lindavorce2055]

It looks great. The beams gives the ceiling definition. I love it

[@mariawilliams1314]

Wow! You are so talented, love the beans and the strap looks awesome! Looking forward to the final reveal. 😊❤😊

Beams not beans😜

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@geriann4755]

Absolutely ingenious, looks gorgeous!!!

[@CarolynRedpath]

I absolutely love the beams with the black straps! Awesome job ❤❤

[@ferganwalker]

The black strapping to conceal the joins is STUNNING 😍 x

[@noelturner9327]

I think it looks amazing. Great job.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@eileenmanes9003]

I love the straps on the beams love love love. Definitely gave me some ideas thank you

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

So glad!

[@joyg2383]

The beams look great. Looking forward to seeing the finished room.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

You and me both!

[@christinef7739]

A dark room can be very cozy and calming, and that's what you want in a bedroom. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Totally agree! I have enjoyed the bedroom being darker

[@MsSuZaNNa2010]

This project is amazing!! Can’t wait to give it a try! You are the best!! Thank you for your inspiration. I have been watching your videos and started my reno projects with my stairs! Hehe just like yours were, mine are carpeted. Knocked one of the walls to install the rail (only have one side), installed the post, fixed the wall by adding drywall and is coming along. Thank you are a star!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Wow! Good for you! My stair makeover made a huge difference in the look/feel of my home and I’m sure it does in yours too!

[@deniseschimminger9799]

Amazing Kelsey !I love the beams they look so real and i love the black strap, Great Job !

[@CreateWithMarthaTucker]

I love the beams!! I definitely think i will try my hand at them!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Go for it!

[@chantelraigosa8949]

I think they turned out great. The strap adds more of a rustic feel. I would love to add some beams in our house but we have normal 8ft ceilings…not sure we would have enough space. I love your moody color scheme. I think it’s going to be beautiful when it’s all done and can’t wait to see the final reveal. Some people need to let go of their fear of color and branch out! If you hate it, paint is easy to fix.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

I have 8 ft ceilings on the first story of my house. I was also worried beams would make it look lower but I keep seeing people do it on Instagram (shorter versions) and it looks great! Maybe a future project.

[@elizabethtorres6461]

I agree 💯. Life is too short to worry about others opinions and criticisms. Beautiful job.🤗

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you!

[@lindabrown545]

I am excited to see how this all turns out....love the beams they definitely look real.... everything you do has turned out awesome in the end I feel this is going to too. Ready for next week's video already lol see you then. Love your channel ♥️

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thanks so much 😊

[@barbstormo7030]

Love the beams! I really like the idea of making faux wood beams...much easier to handle plus, as you said, cheaper. Can't wait to see more!!!

[@genniejefferson6588]

You are so talented. If you had t showed this DIY, we wouldn’t have known.

[@wandadelacruz2486]

Kelsey this bedroom makeover is getting very interesting. I love it

[@amychisholm7222]

Can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@pamyacuzzo6614]

Oh my gosh, so pretty! I love this dark, rich, expensive looking moody vibe. So beautiful! Girl you just keep on bringing it! You are amazing!!! Those beams are gorgeous!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you so much!!

[@rebeccasalhab2159]

So clever good job looks so good

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you!

[@Empire-rc2rv]

At very first I thought the paint was too dark, then you started the white accent paint and it totally changed my mind. A very elegant combination. Love it.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@michelleodonnell7436]

I love the "strap" my only comment is it might look more balanced to add them as "hangers" on each end of each beam. Just a thought. Love your vision and creativity!

[@barbarahill8228]

I love your beams in your bedroom. They look great!

[@lindaroyal8161]

I like the beams, I think they look really good. The strapping was a good way to fix a small issue. That sure is a huge room, looking good!

[@mariagonzalez6318]

Hola!!Me encantaron las vigas se ven bien reales parece madera❤

[@jflo7674]

Love everything you do. Those beams are incredibly realistic. And for the haters, well, it's your room. Do whatever you want. 😊

[@susanm8957]

I love it! I would do lots of lights for added brightness, sconces, lamps, up lights etc!😊

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Great idea!!

[@Cynthia-do6fo]

Kelsey what a great job! Fantastic idea! I would have glued the pieces together to make the beam the full 16ft and paint them once they were glued together. Also when painting there is a wood grain painting stencil that you add paint and drag along the surface. It makes knots and grain pretty well. But again love this project!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

I considered both of those ideas. That might have worked better!

[@c.h.9193]

I love the Straps! It gives the Beams a gentle touch of rustic without going overboard. Problem Solved! The Beams really look great. And the two sample boards you showed us for your room's goal are beautiful. Loving your room. Cathleen

[@ferganwalker]

What a super robotic machine. Loved how it empties the dust and water ~ clever technology 👌

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

It’s my new favorite thing in my house!

[@Not_InterestedThanksAnyways]

This is a life saving idea !! Ive been researching faux beams online & they are extremely costly it's unbelievable! What a solution !! ❤

[@ZeGerman211]

I am impressed! Those beams look amazing! The only thing I am a bit weary about, is the glueing part not sure if it will last for years to come. Anywho, you have done an outstanding job! Thx for sharing!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

They’re still holding up great so we’ll see!

[@brittanycharlotte1809]

Dang! I think these beams might be your best diy yet! Looks amazing, and really showcases your true talent! 👏🫶

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you!

[@tinasmith956]

Wow I am completely impressed! I think I will give this a whirl myself now.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Go for it!

[@denisemcghie9773]

I like the faux beams with the faux straps. It may look good on the ends as well. Great job! 😊

[@caseyldi]

So inspiring!!! This entire room is so gorgeous! It's like a dream!

[@klsewol]

This is such an amazing idea! I look forward to seeing the end results of your room.

[@carmenberbel7287]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Everything is coming along so beautifully. You are very talented and inspiring!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@sandypeters3238]

Wow, awesome job Kelsey! I'm loving it...I see your vision for the room and I love it!

[@kathyjones4869]

I love the beams and I think the straps look nice! Thanks for sharing how to make them from foam boards because I’ve wanted them in my living room which is several feet long and would be heavy even with them being hallow! Good job!! I love and need the mop/vac!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

The robot mop/vac has been a game changer for me! If only I could get a robot to load the dishwasher for me!

[@lorettarenard5645]

I would put the straps at each end as well - luv all your work

[@keymexstyles901]

Wow you did an amazing job!!❤ Good job!! Thank you so sharing!!

[@katherinerichardson1767]

That was cool! I love the work you did.

[@Gigi-dk3kd]

Love the idea of the wood beams and I love the moodiness of the color. Great Job!

[@nancyx6390]

I had to get up from bed and get on here to let you know you did a awesome job on the beams.. especially doing it by yourself. I like the straps. I'm so proud of you 😉. Lol

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

I appreciate that! ❤️

[@aprilweber7197]

Ha, you just amaze me. Those beams look awesome!

[@marieShealy]

I was one of those who was skeptical about the color….. but I trusted you and like usual you didn’t disappoint! It’s beautiful and I can’t wait to see it all put together!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@green5sing]

Love this idea! So realistic ❤

[@crystalmarcel9274]

You are so talented thinking outside the box!!!…Love how the beams came out. Would be curious to see if another strap measured on the opposite side even distance for another strap to balance the look out..just a thought to see if it looked more intentional then hiding the seam? Please don’t take my comment as criticism because it’s absolutely not, just curious because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how this came out..I am excited to see your vision come to fruition!!!!..Thank You for sharing your ideas..Love them!!!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Of course I don’t take you guys’ opinions as criticism. Especially since I’m asking what you guys think 🤣🤣 I appreciate everyone’s ideas and suggestions

[@NoseyFloridaGirl]

i would have joined up the beams in the middle and then trimmed it out at the wall for a seamless look. Amazing how wood like they look. Nice job !

[@kathryntrapman3917]

I like your inspiration photo as it really helped to see your vision. So excited to see each phase of this project and of course the end result is gonna be gorgeous . Your faux beams are so realistic,not sure about the straps as my eye wants to go to those instead of the beams, so I’m on the fence with the straps. I love the color choice and how it ties into the furnishings in your room.

[@LivinCindysLife]

This is an amazing way to add beams to a room! They look fantastic! I think the straps actually give them more interest.

[@observer4497]

This is amazing Kelsey 🙌 ,, Your attention to detail is why I follow you. I have been a DIY GIRL before there was YT.. I just would like to say I will put mine up and Faux Paint the wood look afterwards.. Easy, Peasy. I’ve done so many projects and learned afterwards ,easier ways.. ❤️

[@carrieh922]

I love your inspo! I love a moody look!

[@jadeypeach]

Oh…my… wow! I want faux beams and a heavily patterned wild flower wallpaper all over my living ceiling and this is perfect! Thank you ❤❤

[@amypaparone55]

Absolutely beautiful! The whole room is looking so good!

[@4819632011]

Very creative and looks awesome.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you so much 😊

[@marydenney8249]

I love it! Maybe add the straps at each end? Good job!

[@jsiqueblue4948]

Wow! This looks amazing.

[@Poetessa2]

I love the straps and even if they were one piece, I would put those straps because, in reality, the authentic old beams that supported the buildings back then would have had maybe more than one and I love it when I can make anything appear aged and authentic when I decorate!! I think you did an amazing job and I think I may just try it out in a small boring hallway with really high ceilings that needs some character!!! Another thing I will try is I have these wooden half spheres that look so much like those the heads of those old metal rivets I think they are called. They are seen on old castle doors a lot and woodwork. And all about the old world castle look! But I think your idea is exactly what I was searching for all things considered. Thank you!!! Great job!!!!

[@barbiej923]

Brilliant!! I grew up around construction and am definitely a DIY person. And a lot older than you. Thank you for this!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michellefisher7893]

Well done Kelsey - they look fab !!!

[@Mark32115]

Really great imagination. Look good.

[@barbjanderson7559]

I think three straps on each beam would look better. Foam beams...this was such a good idea.

[@sandyjackson1089]

So glad you did this, because now I have to try it!! Love love love ❤️

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

You should!

[@shabbysuse7821]

Genius idea!

[@bjhunt01]

You rock! You blow my mind with your abiities, strength, tools skills, and creativity!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Thank you!

[@madelinerivera3837]

Wow that looks great!!!

[@robinowens2851]

Your room looks great. I don't know if anyone has stated this yet, but you can probably make this even cheaper by using vinyl from Dollar Tree to make the straps. The dots are made with the metal push pins. Just remove the pointed part, paint and glue on. I want to do this technique in my kitchen. Great job!!!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

That's a great idea! Thanks!

[@abeerali7834]

Love creating the beams out of foam idea and now I want to do it 😊 will have to find a room where they will match the esthetic and vibe. Maybe my home office.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Kelsey, great job on the beams!! Maybe just maybe adding that faux hardware to the ends of the beams also. But, no worries if not. Always never giving up, never surrendering!! Dirty Jersey out!!

[@debbymodd4579]

Im Impressed. Fantasia job!

[@brandonsnyder628]

Love it! Going dark and masculine in the house. Want beams to tie in the colors and high ceilings. This is a great option. Went Orion grey in the master. Totally get where you are heading. Glad I stumbled on you at 2am!

[@maggiesue4825]

Love the straps!

[@crystalscott4712]

I totally get the vibe you are going for and I'm so down for it! Great Job 🙂

[@rainy4036]

Good job. Personally, I like it w/o the black sticker! I think you matched it pretty good. Thanks 4 the idea. I have beams in my front room, and want to continue in my kitchen. I can afford this idea! Thanks!
