Showcasing the "green monster". The architect loved this piece of furniture and designed everything around it.

The fireplace is the new focal point of the living room and our favorite part.

They've been busy knocking down walls!

Shows the wall knocked down between kitchen and living room. We will have a pantry and bar in this space. The workers call this the bowling alley because it is such a long open space. They all love the openness of the house now and we have a lot more light.

This is a view from the front hall thru the living room and you can see the new room's windows.

Windows and doors and more! Oh my!

Things are changing and taking shape.

Notice our new (temp) kitchen in the dining room (top pic).

The walls are closing in, but taking shape.

The construction and demolition days through 8/21/08.
