Renovation on River Road

Matt and I have been working on the living room lately. It took a lot of demolition but we finally get to put it back together. The archway that was there originally was in pretty poor shape. They didn't take the time to do it properly so we took it down and started from scratch.
These are a few pictures of what the entry/dining room and living room looked like when we bought the house. Lovely green peel-and-stick tile, old bent fan, cabin wood on the far wall.
Moldy ceiling, more peel-and-stick tile, and just generally poorly constructed everything. All had to be torn out and redone. Even the windows.
This is the current state of our house. That table is just till we can build a farm style one. The bar is unfinished, and obviously so is the rest, but I think it's really come a long way.
My beautiful new archway. Blue in the back of the bookcase which is the same blue as the door in the living room and also the ceiling.
Coffered ceiling in the living room. The blue is Mount Airy and the walls are Sourdough.
