Did some work in the living room

We wanted to make the living room and front "formal" room flow together for some time now. So I decided to make this a end of the year project. My wife was a bit perplexed by the "surprise" start but, save for finishing touches, the project is done.

The middle column is there, because the drain downpipe from upstairs is there. In addition, it gives the top beams additional support. they replace the actual wall as support structure for the upstairs.
