We built our house out of concrete blocks and we have a post and beam ceiling. What can we do with this space to tie it in?

I would put some sort of stained molding - curved would be nice - that ties in the ceiling and wall -

OK - there's two different answers, each reading the question differently. Could you please elaborate what you want tied in? BW: I love your post and beam ceiling! -

We have the same situation, but our cinderblock walls are drywalled. We have stained wood around the perimeter of the room. Here it is![]()

Are the walls plastered..... I would continue the plaster up to the ceiling to make it look higher or use whitewashed board. Love the post and beam ceiling, but personally I would whitewash the boards to make it brighter inside, and leave the beams natural. -

If the white part of the wall extends out leaving a slight ledge, why no take a piece of dowel rod sized to fit into the ledge, either paint it to match the wall color or stain it to match the wood, and tack it in place? I guess the same treatment could be done if the white wall section is recessed beneath the wood, leaving the look of an overhang (which I personally don't find objectionable).
