Renovation before and afters

Here are the before shots: The wall on the left behind the sofa is the wall we took down. There was just a hallway in between the den and the living room and it also made the breakfast area tee-tiny!!!!


This was a picture taken as the "support wall" went up because this is a MAJOR load bearing wall!!!






This is the after: taken from the breakfast area!








Notice the 4 columns, I could have done without those, but like I said, this is a major load-bearing wall - I saw the exposed beams myself during the construction!


We love the new openness!!!! We can see the tv from the kitchen and breakfast area and I can see the kitchen when I turn the corner from our bedroom! It was truly worth all the dust and mess!!!!
