appearing fireplace

The west wall of our dining room:

before. . .
and after!If only it had been that easy :) Tyler and my dad demolished the old wall, then rebuilt, insulated, & dry walled the new one. My mom and I primed, Tyler painted, and finished the mantle and hearth surround by our Christmas party deadline! Here are some of the in-between photos!

Tyler actually ended up having to tear out the left side of the wall too due to termite damage. The little bugs had eaten the VERY old wallpaper (laid directly on wood boards) and the paper backing of the old dry wall, so it was very crumbly. A TON of dust, many trips to Home Depot and 3 weekends of work were definitely worth it in the end, though!
