Before and After: Part 2

Part 1

The Living Room

Before:

No, it's not your eyesight, this picture is a little fuzzy.
Those are bookcases over the brick hearth, my Granny had them filled to the brim with pictures. The carpet has already been ripped up.

Now, we have bookcases on either end of the mantle, with a carpet square on the floor, inside of the couches. The rest of the living room is tile, as well as the dining room and kitchen.

After:
The ceiling
Before:
Wood beams made squares on the ceiling
During:
Beams taken down and we tried to just sand down the popcorn effect on the ceiling.
After:
The sanding ended up looking horribly uneven, so we covered the entire ceiling with wood flooring. Then we made the big beams that go vertically. It's beautiful now, and we love it, but it was one of things that didn't even go CLOSE to how he had hoped.
