Before Breakfast Bar |
|
This was the wall that used to have mirrors on it. We later put in an 4'x8' hole in it for the breakfast bar. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Office Wall |
|
This was the back wall of the office. We turned this into a half wall effectively bringing the formal dining room into the kitchen. |
