More pics of the destruction (day 22)

Adoption: no news yet. Check back on Tuesday. ;)

We've been demolishing a little bit more of the house. I decided it's about time to get some more pictures up!

Here's the marble hearth that we uncovered underneath the living room carpet. Probably not original, but pretty cool all the same.


This is what it looks like when you remove all of the tiles from the bathroom walls. Yuck.

A great shot of the faux brick with the kitchen cabinets removed. How many colors can you paint a kitchen?? (or not, in the case of the mudded drywall)


General destruction of the back room. All of the cabinets and the countertop are out, and all of the paneling is off of the walls in there and the kitchen.

This is the really cool wallpaper in the back bedroom upstairs. There are two cool layers here: the top layer is the vases with flowers, and the layer underneath it is the house, fountain, and 3 trees. I'm trying to carefully peel off that top layer to reveal more of the scene underneath but they're really stuck. We can tell from some other areas of the room that that scene also has a well and a balcony. For perspective, the area that's shown is about 2.5 feet tall. I'll post the "secret hiding places" tomorrow!

Wow, the pictures are very impressive! Looks like the house has a lot of potential. I'm sure you'll have the best looking house ever when you finish remodeling!
