This house had an formal, rarely used living room which opened onto a cramped dining room. The family room was adjacent to the dining room yet felt disconnected. The owners wanted a more open layout and a bar for entertaining. Art work behind the bar is coming soon!

The new stone partition has a fireplace on one side and a TV on the other.

By making the new dining area open to the seating by the fireplace, it is comfortable for the family but can be easily expanded for larger celebrations.
