1. Right side of the room. If you notice, the french looking doors are not french doors, and it also opens on the left side. Not gonna work for me. I'm going to swap this door out for a right side opening french door. This will accomplish a couple things. It will move the door away from the countertop/bar area that we will be putting bar stools against and utilizing as a bar/kitchen eating area. We will have the formal dining room, but will not have a table in the kitchen. We want to put a plasma above the fireplace with a rug in front of it, with a leather love seat and rocking chair for chilling, and based on my measurements, with the door and all, there won't be room for a table.
2. The other side of the wall I was mentioning. They built this thing out of plywood and 2x4's. I had a heck of a time tearing it down! This area used to be a coat/shoe area, but we'll be using it as a stand up freezer area.
3. Nice hole!
4. Hole from the kitchen side. This will be closed off.
5. Like I mentioned above... I kinda liked it at first, but that wore off after about a day, then I decided I hated it and tore it down. Plus, it would kind of interefere with my big TV going above the gas fireplace
