Changes in the Dining Room

We were in Gatlinburg and Knoxville for the labor day holiday weekend.  As previously stated, we will not be heading back to Zelda for about four (4) weeks, so we post some before and after photos of Zelda.  This post will be comparison photos of the dining room.  The dining room had a drop ceiling which was eight (8) foot high.  It was removed to reveal the twelve (12) foot high ceiling.

The low ceiling and original fireplace.

The one (1) small doorway leading to the keeping room.

The higher ceiling and wider opening into the keeping room.

Another view of the new wider and higher opening.

All the brick work and bookshelf before the renovation.

The brick is gone and the bookshelf replaced with another wide opening into the keeping room.

A different angle of the new opening.

Looking through the new opening at the stairs.

Looking towards the front door in the old Zelda.

During the renovation, we installed a wide and tall opening into the entrance foyer.
