Basically it boiled down to the fact that I need to have more light in my home. The decor choices of my parents was soooo them, but really not me. Here is what the living room used to look like...
Wood paneling & wood burning stove. |
Most light was promptly swallowed by all the brown colors. |
Stove now in the basement, built-in bookcase temporarily relocated. But most important - the paneling is GONE! (along with the sheet rock it was glued to) |
New sheet rock was put in place! |
Good news: my bedroom never had paneling on the walls (much easier to deal with).
Bad news: now where am I going to sleep during construction?
Good news: my parents made the kitchen large enough to do double duty!!
Yeah, that's my queen size bed... in the kitchen!! |
When will I have time to post something here again... who knows. Guess it all depends on how long I want to sleep in the kitchen!
A big THANK YOU goes out to my wonderful neighbors and friends - who have generously donated their time and skills to this project. Without them, none of this could have been accomplished!!

Bed in the kitchen? That wouldn't be such bad thing, especially if you get a craving in the middle of the night!
