AFTER: Here is the view from the alcove into the hall, with the old door frame completely opened up. We are going to put in a french door to provide a bit of privacy and still let plenty of light into the hallway.

AFTER: Here is an image of the alcove showing the extent of the mural, as well as the original framed opening behind the old shower stall- confirming that room used to open directly to the hallway as we suspected.

BEFORE: Here is a view of the alcove (which had been partially converted into a master bathroom with an odd half-size tub) before we started demolition and discovered the Dutch landscape hiding behind the walls!
