Another Wall Bites the Dust

After deconstructing the kitchenette we considered the idea of opening up the den and kitchen. I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about taking out the entire wall between the kitchen/kitchenette and den so we pulled down the wood paneling on the den side of the wall. We were already planning on replacing the wood paneling so we figured we might as well tear it down now and to see how it would look completely open.

Once we got the paneling down, I loved it! Opening up this space makes creates a much better flow to the house.

Now we just have to figure out how to reinforce the load bearing wall and configure our furniture!
