the great wall

before and after of knocking out the wall. There was a ton of work involved in between these simple photos, it is very surreal. But after knocking out the wall, lots of other issues became apparent, like how to handle the transition between floors (we used tile and grout), the fact that we had to close over a doorway into the previous bedroom section, how to edge the trim (cedar rough sawn), what to do about the base that was removed (will add new to the whole house), and ways to light the new section if we weren't going to rely on natural sunlight (added a ceiling fan). Tons of work, but worth it.
