Once the furniture was out of the room, the fireplace looked especially shabby. My dad painted the bricks white, and he installed the mantle, a big beam painted white. The beams in the ceiling are decorative, and the white wall to the left is actually just wood paneling nailed onto the wall studs. There is no drywall. And of course, there's the rust colored carpeting that I've been complaining about for years. I have a picture of me sitting on that carpeting at age 20. That's 32 years, folks. It's time to GO.
