I am a HUGE fan of opening up and 'knocking through', as so often this work creates a better flow from room to room and adds space and light to dark and dingy areas. In the 70's it was quite the done thing to leave the kitchen as a separate room and have a through... Continue Reading →
Bit bored tonight… let’s take a wall down!
