| Here is where one of the walls used to be that divided the kitchen and dining room space. Tearing down the wall opened up the space and allows for views of the lake from the kitchen. This decision also created more counter space for Barbara, who loves to bake and spend time in the kitchen. A small wall-mounted TV was also added during the renovation. Private Comment
