Here are my before and after pictures.
My hubby and I took out the wall between the lr and dr and opened the wall to the kitchen. We would have taken that out but it's bearing and uh, no. I enjoy every part of the process from demo to paint and decor to photos. I'm not so good at the photography yet but I'm working on it. I'm much better at swinging a paint brush.
Fireplace clad in a skin of copper. I'm sure it was gorgeous in it's day.
What child labor laws?
I'm missing the pic with the original 4x4 white tile backsplash trust me it was awful
almost there.
The wall is gone and the pass thru to the kitchen is finished too.
In hindsight I would not have used glass tile on the hearth.
Yeah baby.
:-)
What do you think?
Another view.

Very nice...love the colors and the open floor plan. Great job!!! I know about the child labor...my girls now in their 30's still rag us about all the chores, upkeep we had them do but it sure comes in handy now that they are grown with homes of their own...LOL Life lessons.

love your choice of colors and how open it is! I simply must paint the inside panels of my bookcases now!
