Garage conversion: exposed trusses!

Hi there! We have left the trusses exposed in our garage conversion. See attached. This is still work in progress but shall we paint white (so it blends with the ceilings etc when we get there) or does would you just stain and leave? Thoughts please?

Wow @wonkylegs, that looks amazing! Plus you have a lovely view there!

@Waitforwhat thanks
I can't wait for it to be finished & I can work with the view rather than in a bedroom.

Same here! I have a window to the side looking out to the garden and that’s where I plan to place my desk 😃

Hi, @waitforwhat would you mind letting me know who you are using for your conversion? I'm in the SE and looking to get my garage converted soon. Thanks

Hi @LK0813, just pm me and will pass you the details. Can’t figure how!

Hi @waitforwhat I've PM'd you. Think it's been sent 3 times though! Thanks

paint them dust-colour, with a faint pattern shaped like cobwebs.

End result! If anyone is interested. Quite a narrow room, but pleased with my new office space! 😊
