This is picture No 1 in the story of the dining room (be glad that you are only looking at this and not living in 3 hellish months of what comes next...). It is a perfectly good wall. Kind of strange that there are two doors into the kichen though (apparently the glass one previously led to a china cabinet and the swinging one was for the maid to go between the dining room and kitchen). We wanted to open the kitchen up a bit, so we thought it would be straightforward to build a breakfast bar where that very blank-looking wall is... And so the saga began....
