bedroom discoveries

So curiosity got the better of us this weekend -- we had a hunch this stupid jut-out in our bedroom was, in fact, the chimney and all the original exposed brick.  Seeing as how we wanted to re-do that drywall anyway, we decided to pull a bit away to see if our hunch was right.  It was.

Now the question is:  Do we do it or do we not???  I kinda wanna do it...
