Braces are a good thing

And not just for your teeth!  As you have often heard, the devil's in the details.  Well, it's the details that can elevate a home from "Nice" to "Amazing."  Here are few examples of how adding simple braces to the mix can achieve just that! 

By adding these braces, look at the fabulous overhang these homeowners were able to create.

Even interior areas like this kitchen island can benefit from a brace.

Talk about framing a front entryway!  

I love this one.  Just a simple tin roof with those double brackets on either side.  Love it.

Look how the simple addition of them here takes a thin porch post to a more interesting place.  

These are the kinds of details a great architect can add for major impact without breaking the budget.
