When we bought the house there was an archway which leads into the living room. It is very pretty but just not my style. Also the archway was maybe 6ft, I don't want any of my tall friends and family to be ducking under it.
My original plans were to get rid of the whole wall, than we realized that the wall was made of stone (read more about that here)
Option 2: Get rid of the arch and bring it up to the ceiling.
I like it so much better already. It makes the ceilings look taller and from the dining room you will be able to see the TV which is going over the fireplace ( Very Important )
That wall is made of stone so we hired one of my fathers friends to come over and chisel it out stone by stone. Best $200 we spent so far.
My father also had to put two junction boxes on either side of the entry way because there were wires running across it. A lot of work but luckily he does it for free. :)
We have an appointment with the Jetmore Fire Places on Monday. Hopefully we can start that project and then the floors are next!
