Mirrors from Hell

Remember these pictures of when we first moved in here in June:

Can you see the mirrors in both photo’s? How about those floor to ceiling mirrors (future library) in the top picture? Gross, huh? And on the bottom photo (the dining room) they were only 3/4 of the way up on one whole wall.

Well, after Tony attempted to remove some of them the other day, we decided we would need to hire someone else to do the job. Those mirrors are extremely heavy and a lot of work to get off the wall. So, I called Mr. Handyman and they have been here the past two days working on removing the mirrors and repairing the damaged walls.

This is what the (future) library walls looked like when the guy left yesterday:

When the guys are done working today I’ll get a few more pictures…I just can’t wait for it to be finished!
