Mike is removing our ceilings downstairs to put insulation up for sound-proofing.....and this is what it looks like when you take down all that 84 year old bead board.
Below is the framing for our bookshelves by the fireplace in the living room.
The windows are in! And a short wall to separate the living/kitchen area. We want to keep the plan as open as possible but still have distinct spaces.
The green wall on the right has been cut back a couple of feet to make the walkway by the stairwell wider. This little nook will be nice I think.
In the process of taking down the ceiling, see all the nails?
This is our current challenge. This fireplace was filled in so we busted it out and this is what we found. Not much of a fireplace, not even big enough for logs. So, we are trying to decide whether we want to go to the trouble of building it up and making it bigger or just sheet rocking it and coming back to it later. You're probably thinking the same thing I am, "Don't sheet rock that fireplace in!!" We really don't want to have to do it but we're thinking it'll get us in the house quicker, save us some money and later down the road we can do something with it. But the verdict is still out.
