What lies beneath

The house keeps on giving. We removed the ceiling tiles from the parlor/living room and found original wood on both the walls and ceiling. We seem to be continuing to make more work for ourselves, but are loving the discovery of all the original wood.
We painted  the wood paneling leading upstairs and our special assistant did a great job helping us!

 This is what the parlor ceiling looks like
 wondering if this is a good idea or bad idea to be taking down the drop ceiling?

 Once the ceilings were down we could see behind the wood paneling was original wood. We had to investigate...
 Here is what the wood looks like that is behind the wood paneling. We assume that it's lead paint and so we now need to get someone to help sand down/remove the paint/wall paper.
 We were on a roll and so curious about what was above the mantle?
 We were not expecting this...
 Here are some better pictures of the floors in this room

 Cory also managed to take off the door that was permanently shut from the parlor to the bathroom.
