As of March 4, 2011, the living room is best described as "budget country 1980s". The style abominations are never-ending--old brass ceiling fan, dingy carpet, cracked-out ceiling panels, unpainted pine beadboard, and the absence of light. With the exception of the wood burning stove, everything will have to be overhauled.
What I envision: airy, all-white walls, plank ceiling, and light wood floors that gleam and shine. A neighbor-contractor is starting work next week, and after that I'll be tasked with painting, removing the old carpet and having a new floor installed.
And then...decorating. Yay.
UPDATE 3.11.11: My contractor just sent me the following pics showing all the debris that came from removing the old ceiling panels and beadboard T&G panels from the living room. I was hoping to salvage the beadboard to be reused elsewhere in the house, but it was glued to the sheetrock walls behind it. What a mess!
