Our new dining room

In order to increase the size of the kitchen we needed to find a space for our dining table and chairs. After considering a few alternatives we decided to change the study into the dining room. This meant knocking out a wall and finding spots for all of the things previously stored, on display, etc in the study. OMG! I could not believe the amount of 'stuff' that came out of that one small room. It took me a whole week to empty, rehouse, rearrange, put back some of the items and set up the space as a formal dining room. It was a few weeks before Cal had the time to knock out the wall and even longer before the electricals were complete and Stephen built, plastered and painted the new nib wall. But......it was so worth it! We are so pleased with the result. It is a lovely room which along with the redesigned kitchen helps to open up the living area of the house, giving it a feeling of space.
