Opening kitchen/dining room

We have decided to reopen kitchen/dining room which was closed off by previous owner before my mum moved into house. When my mum died I took over the house and bought it.

As I have never known the wall to be be open I am so glad we have gone back to open it as it will give more space in kitchen when hall access to kitchen is closed off as we will have more worktops to work with which will be a godsend.
