I have a 4"x10"x14' ugly-as-heck beam in a room that I recently
remodeled. It is a knotty doug fir beam that has been stained dark
green. This is the ridge beam in a loft bedroom.

Any ideas on how to cover this up without spending a fortune? The rest
of the room is drywall and painted white, whith fir trim around the
windows.

Drywall

I have a similar situation in my family room and it was covered with drywall
and painted the same as the ceiling. Blends in and does not look all that
bad.
