Living Room

The living room has been coming along nicely. I spent all of today taking these ugly red and white subway tiles off of the fireplace. Before I got started I was counting on it all being really easy, but of course, it wasn’t. Those tiles were on so tight, I ended up breaking one of the ends off the chisel about ¼ of the way though. Many hours, one broken chisel and a very sore wrist later, the last tile came off, and I would say it looks much better now (even without the new tiles)

Next, we have the catch up pictures from previous posts. The pictures show the 3-step process of the betterment of our living room and entryway.

We started by taking the ugly wallpaper off (not show) to expose the original 100-year-old plaster walls (as shown in the first stage). Then a coat of white primer. Finally, 2 coats of “Devine Straw” courtesy of the Miller Paint Co.
