Timber grid added for side addition

I fashioned a new grid for the side addition using 5/16" basswood. The side grid layout is narrower than the one for the facade, but it matches well for style. It's actually the same overall width as the bay window, so it's also good for balance.
I've painted the grids Coffee Bean by Folk Art. I can't stain the pieces since they are made from different types of wood and there is tape and glue residue all over them -- some of this tape residue is from the original bundling of the beams. This basic brown will serve as the base coat for faux staining, so it's fine that it's rough and uneven for now.
I didn't paint inside the grid other than a bit around the edges and inside where the windows will be. There are filler pieces for the enclosed spaces, and only 1/16" will show of the sides. I also left the beam under the front door unpainted for now.
