Personally, I think the French doors look elegant and would be a nice touch if your area allows for door changes.

My intro to business was a casual fine dining restaurant that we eventually expanded into a high end night club and music venue.

Formal dining area and along with small part of kitchen is impacted .

OPEN SPACE is also really hip now, people love to see the open space with the living room, kitchen, dining room as one big room.

You'll need some guidance along the way from your accountant and your QI but it's a very elegant solution to get money tax free and continue to build your portfolio tax deferred.

You never know what's waiting under the floorboards or behind the dining room wall.

We'll definitely be taking your advice and going forward with staging (at least the living room, dining room and master suite).

dining room... hahaha!

This is the setup.3rd floor: 2 bed and jack/Jill bath2nd floor: master bed, sunroom, living room and bathroom1st floor: kitchen, dining room, mudroom and the room in questionThe issue I'm running into is the bedrooms are all middle to top floor and all have baths close by.

I even replaced the old "nipple" light in the dining room with this $45 black chandelier type fixture.
